Pokémon TCG Gengar Holo 13/165 (Expedition) — BGS 9, Italian

Among the most beloved Pokémon in the hobby, Gengar reaches peak early-2000s expression in this vintage Expedition Holo (No. 13/165), presented here in the scarce Italian-language release and certified BGS 9. Issued in 2002 during the Wizards of the Coast era, Expedition is renowned as the first e-Card set—an inflection point between the classic and modern TCG, celebrated for its artistic ambition and distinctive production identity.

The card’s dark, magnetic artwork pairs with the instantly recognizable e-Card holo pattern, a finish prized by collectors for its visual depth and period-correct character. In today’s market, high-grade non-English WOTC holos have become increasingly sought after as global collectors pursue true scarcity beyond the standard English population; in that context, this Italian BGS 9 stands out with only 21 examples recorded at this grade, making it exceptionally difficult to source and a compelling museum-grade cornerstone for a focused Gengar, e-Card, or WOTC-language set.
