Thoughts on 1st edition neo destiny dark gengar holo?
Was looking at many vintage cards trying to find those that are still at reasonable buy in prices for psa 7-8/raw NM despite the big increases in the past year. Came upon the 1st edition dark gengar holo and it seems to check multiple boxes.
- Very popular Pokemon
- Extremely low printed set, arguably top 3 lowest printed in the WOTC era, along with skyridge and aquapolis. (1st edition neo destiny btw, not unlimited) - leads me to believe this is the english gengar with lowest supply out of all gengars. Total graded pop of the dark gengar across PSA CGC and BGS is only 1149. Meanwhile gengar prime has 1075 graded pop for a psa 8 ALONE, and a 4117 total graded pop across BGS CGC and PSA. Same for gengar ex from fire red leaf green, 4067 total graded pop across BGS CGC and PSA.
Extremely low amount of ebay listings for the 1st edition dark gengar as well.
- Buy in price extremely reasonable, a psa 7 is around 1700, psa 8 around 2000, according to ALT. Basically all vintage big name pokemon cards in psa 7 and above are grails and at grail pricing, out of reach for many collectors buy in wise. Comparison wise gengar prime psa 8 is roughly 2500 according to ALT. gengar ex fire red leaf green roughly 2700 according to alt in an 8.
Very interested to hear yall's thoughts fundamentals seem pretty strong according to my observations.
