# Gengar ex #193/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Gengar remains one of the most adored Gen I Ghosts, and an ex printing always draws the Haunter-line faithful, with an Ability built to tax opponents for attaching Energy by hand. As an Ultra Rare, Satoshi Shirai's version sat in the chase tier of its set. At a $51 sold median, up 4% over 30 days on 234 copies traded, with only 9 days of inventory on the board, 87% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $6.60 out of Temporal Forces; CGC 10s at $204 are only 4.0 times raw with a 52% gem rate, so grading barely breaks even.
