Gengar Ex Ultra Rare Temporal Forces 104162 Appraisal

Gengar ex (Ultra Rare) - Temporal Forces 104/162

This is a Gengar ex Pokémon card from the Scarlet & Violet—Temporal Forces expansion, released in early 2024. The item is a standard-sized trading card (approx. 2.5 x 3.5 inches) featuring a dynamic, full-art illustration of the Pokémon Gengar. It boasts an Ultra Rare 'Double Rare' rarity, denoted by the two white stars in the bottom left corner. The card's design features a vibrant blue and purple holographic foil finish with a 'confetti' or 'starlight' pattern visible across the surface. Notable text includes '310 HP,' the 'Gnawing Curse' ability, and the 'Tricky Steps' attack. The card is illustrated by Nisota Niso, with the set code TEF EN and card number 104/162 clearly displayed. Physically, the card appears to be in Excellent to Near Mint condition, housed within a clear plastic penny sleeve and a rigid plastic top-loader for protection. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left border. The corners and edges, as seen through the protective casing, appear sharp with no visible whitening, chipping, or creasing. This card represents a modern 'ex' mechanic from the ninth generation of Pokémon games, characterized by its high HP and powerful game-changing abilities.
