# Gengar VMAX #271/264 — Fusion Strike

## Summary

Gengar is one of the most beloved Gen I Pokémon, and a Secret Rare VMAX sits at the very top of what Fusion Strike offered, a deep pull that few opened packs delivered. Sowsow is a respected illustrator, and the alternate treatment is what collectors hunt over any standard Gengar VMAX. The modelled guide sits at $1,027, up 4% over 30 days on 174 copies traded, with 95 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $2,275 and a 53% observed gem rate putting about $330 of expected profit per submission.
