Gengar 20/62 Pokémon Base Set Fossil Raw

Pokémon: Gengar Series: Base Set Set: Fossil Card Number: 20/62 Rarity: R Grade: Raw Year: 1999 Illustrator: Mitsuhiro Arita Type: N/A The Gengar card (20/62), specifically the 1st Edition Non-Holo Rare version from the Fossil expansion of the Pokémon TCG, is a premium raw collectible released on October 10, 1999. Featuring artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, this Psychic-type Stage 2 Pokémon evolves from Haunter and is distinguished by the "1st Edition" marking in the bottom-left corner, setting it apart from the more common Unlimited print. Mechanically, this card possesses 80 HP and features the Pokémon Power Haunting, which states: "Ignore this Pokémon's Weakness and Resistance. This power stops working while Gengar is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed." Its attack, Shadow Ball (2 Psychic energy), deals 40 damage and requires a coin flip; if heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. The card has a Fighting Weakness of ×2, no resistance, and a retreat cost of 2 Colorless energy, with the Pokédex entry noting: "Gengar's body is made of a shadowy substance that allows it to pass through solid objects. It feeds on the life force of living things." The 1st Edition Non-Holo version of Gengar 20/62 is particularly prized by collectors completing the 1999 Fossil set, as it represents the non-holo Rare variant alongside the much more valuable Holo Rare (5/62). Its status as one of the most iconic Ghost-type Pokémon in the franchise, combined with the scarcity of pristine 1st Edition print runs and the limited PSA 10 population, ensures consistent demand for raw copies in near-mint condition, particularly as the 1999 Fossil set continues to gain vintage collectibility value.
