Gengar VMAX (Alternate Art Secret) - 271/264 - Secret Rare

Product Information

I'll get to the good stuff soon, but if this is generally well received I plan to share future set data as well. This is the first time I've gathered this data myself so we'll just see how it goes and let me know if there's other data you'd be interested in seeing and can change my model! The next set will be Pokemon brilliant stars which will contain the all-new V-star mechanic to the game, so maybe the VMAX cards won’t be the top tier cards that they are right now. But who knows, anything can happen. Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar were the only Ghost-type Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Red & Blue, and while later games added more Ghost-types, their unique type made them an instant favorite among fans. Required that I see at least 30 instances of a 'hit' from a rarity tier. This was achieved for all rarity tiers except Vmax Alternate Arts. As you will see below I posted my observed average, but will not post a +/- as there's insufficient observations to support the 95% confidence range. The Fusion Strike expansion is the Pokemon Company’s way of saying goodbye to the year 2021. Fusion strike has so many great chase cards that we’ve lost count, and we’re still not over how good they look.

Pre-release events for Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike will be held at official Pokémon TCG tournament stores the weekend of October 30th, 2021. For the alternate art categories, I've also compiled some sub-data regarding the specific "chase cards" Gengar’s absence in the Base Set (the most valuable expansion) means variants have never reached the eye-wateringly high prices of the most valuable Charizard, Blastoise or Venusaur cards. However, the right cards in perfect condition can still be worth thousands of dollars. The set is rumored to include Alternate Art cards that were cut from previous sets and others that were released as Japanese promos are part of earlier sets. This includes Celebi V Alternate Art, Sandaconda V Alternate Art, Espeon VMAX Alternate Art, Inteleon VMAX Alternate Art, and Gengar VMAX Alternate Art. The last of the four is almost a guarantee, as Gengar VMAX appears as a set mascot.

The Pokémon TCG has now shown the English versions of cards that we've been excited about for some time now. The Mew-VMAX and Boltund-VMAX that appeared in Japan's Fusion Arts have now been released with English text ahead of their release as part of the November 2021 Pokémon TCG expansion, Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike. Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike will bring a third Battle Style to the Pokémon TCG, adding Fusion Strike to Rapid Strike and Single Strike. The set focuses on Pokémon including Mew, Boltund, Genesect, and Gengar VMAX. Let's get into everything we know about Fusion Strike. Mew VMAX & Boltund VMAX from Fusion Strike. Credit: Pokémon TCG It is expected that the Shiny Pokémon appearing on a Gold Card this time around with be Flaaffy. Flaaffy was the one and only Shiny Gold Card in the Japanese set Fusion Arts, so it is very likely that it will be the one and only Shiny Gold Card in Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike. Starting when PokeTubers started getting their promotional booster boxes a couple weeks ago, I've spent the time and watched several hours of YouTube booster box openings and worked my excel spreadsheets to the bone to pull this data together. I'm not a statistician by trade, but to me there's something fun about data gathering (I think they call that being a nerd, lol). I started doing this because I had a difficult time locating the same information myself, so I decided I'd share my findings for anyone else who's also interested. Before we deep dive into what the card means, we need to understand the Pokemon on the card and what it is capable of. The Secret Rare Gengar VMAX Alternate Art features the Gengar in its gigantamax form in which it becomes significantly larger than normal, and its body below the torso sinks into the ground.

The future value will be determined purely by the supply of the card, so if there are no reprints, the card might hold the value, but expect the price to drop once other expansions come out! Ultra Rare V, Ultra Rare Vmax, Regular Full Arts, Alternate Art V Full Arts, Gold, Rainbow, & finally Alternate Art Vmax So till then, why not ponder over the cards that we already know are quite popular, like this phenomenal Secret Rare Gengar VMAX Alternate Art, the name surely is a mouthful. So yeah hope this data is helpful or interesting or at least not too discouraging to your chase card dreams! Future sets I might pull some infographic together for this data or maybe a google doc link, we'll see. If popular enough I'm happy to put the extra time in on the presentation part, but at least wanted to put the data out there ahead of launch day knowing people are starting to see sets in the wild already. In this article, we’ll not only look at what makes the Secret Rare Gengar VMAX Alternate Art such a great card, but we will also decode the illustrator’s motive behind the card, and also try to predict what the value of the card might be in the future!

The art on the card is the courtesy of the talented Sowsow who have been working on many TCG cards. Some of their most notable works include the magnificent Espeon V from evolving skies.
