1999 Japanese Masaki Gengar No. 094 Holo, graded PSA 5 EX (Excellent). PSA certification number: 153782903.

Solid swirl on the left side. Overall a very clean card. If I was more brave I would crack it out, give it a basic clean, and resubmit, it is right on the verge of a 6 and gaining a lot of value.

A centerpiece for a Gengar collection, with a story that makes this release especially memorable. Originally distributed through Japan’s Communication Evolution Campaign, collectors had to mail a Haunter card together with Bill’s PC to Media Factory to receive this holographic Gengar in return. The promotion brought Gengar’s trade-evolution mechanic into the real world: send away Haunter and receive its evolved form by mail.

That unusual distribution, distinctive artwork and original-era Japanese release give this card an appeal beyond its grade. Whether you are completing the five-card Masaki promo group or building a collection around Gengar, this is a defining piece of its early Pokémon history.

Includes the single Gengar card in its PSA holder. Graded PSA 5 EX; please inspect the photographs for the card’s individual wear and the holder’s condition.
