One of the standout cards from the modern English Black Star Promo line, and this copy is graded CGC 10.
This is the Full Art Haunter (#027), released as a Black Star Promo exclusive to the Mega Gengar ex Mega Battle Deck. It never appeared in boosters or as a set pull, it only came inside the deck, which keeps clean copies in genuine demand.
Here's why the grade matters: this card is notoriously difficult to grade. Factory whitening on the edges and corners is common straight out of the deck, and gem-grade copies are scarce as a result. Plenty of these get cracked open expecting a 10 and come back a 9 or worse.
A true CGC 10 sits at the very top of the population and is a different beast to a raw or lower-graded copy. And with CGC steadily eating into PSA's share of the Pokemon grading market, their reputation for strict, consistent grading means a CGC 10 carries serious weight.
They don't hand them out easily, so the grade tells you exactly what you're getting.The Black Star Promos have always carried their own prestige. They sit outside the main sets and the better ones hold value right alongside set chase cards.
The artist is Arai Kiriko, and that's where it gets interesting for collectors. Kiriko has only illustrated a small handful of Pokemon cards, debuting back on the 151 set. A tiny body of work means every card they touch carries real artist scarcity on top of everything else, and that ages well.
Between the deck-exclusive print, the Black Star Promo pedigree, a sought-after artist and how hard this one is to grade clean, this is a card that'll stay on collectors' radars for years. A CGC 10 won't get easier to find.
