HS—Triumphant: Gengar Prime, Pokémon card to chase

Gengar Prime belongs to HS—Triumphant, the HeartGold SoulSilver set released in November 2010, the fourth of its series. Illustrated by Takashi Yamaguchi and listed as a Prime rare, the card reads $560.92, the top tracked price in the set. Its card is on the Gengar Prime page, the set on the HS—Triumphant set page.

HS—Triumphant: Gengar Prime and the cards behind it

Behind it come Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND, at $276.04, and Celebi Prime, at $116.48. A LEGEND card is played in two halves that share a name: the other half of Darkrai & Cresselia shows $157.41. Each half has its own price. At the other end of the set, Ditto, a rare card, reads $25.33.

What the price of the Gengar Prime Pokémon card does not say

The figure describes a single card. It says nothing about the condition of one particular copy: two cards with the same number can sell at different prices, and the listing you are looking at is what counts, not the tracked figure.

A HS—Triumphant booster holds ten cards: three uncommons, five commons, one reverse holo and a rare slot. Prime cards compete for that last slot with LEGEND cards, holofoils and secret rares. Opening boosters to find Gengar Prime therefore only means aiming at one card among several possible ones, on a single slot per booster.
