The odds

Gengar is a Holo / V / ex in Crimson Invasion — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 22 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 79 packs.

Holo / V / ex27.9%22 cards

Gem Mint 1057
Total graded595

Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 595 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 109.6%$1,100.00
PSA 937.6%$103.00
PSA ≤852.8%$21.00

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates

Only 10% of 595 PSA-graded Gengar copies are a gem-mint 10 (57 of 595) — the rest grade lower.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $33 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
