Sabrina's Gastly · Gym Heroes, what to know.
About the Sabrina's Gastly card
Numbered 93 of 132 in Gym Heroes, released in August 2000, Sabrina's Gastly is a Common, a Basic Psychic-type carrying 50 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Gastly needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Sabrina is the Psychic-type Gym Leader of Saffron City, remembered for her cold, telekinetic intensity in the anime. Sabrina's Gastly is part of that themed lineup.
Illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Sugimori is the lead character designer of Pokémon itself, so his card art carries the tight, on-model look that defined how the creatures appear in the games.
About Gastly in the Pokémon world
A Ghost-Poison Pokémon. Black gaseous form with eyes. Fossil Common. Cheap and sentimental.
What is Sabrina's Gastly worth?
Sabrina's Gastly is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Gym Heroes shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The trainer-prefix naming runs across the set, and the 1st Edition Sabrina's Gastly carries the Edition 1 stamp and a premium over Unlimited in matching grade.
Grading and condition
Sabrina's Gastly is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft Wizards-era cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Sabrina's Gastly
Raw copies of Sabrina's Gastly are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Sabrina's Gastly is the practical move.
Three prints, three markets.
Edition 1 stamp under the artwork. Trades above Unlimited in matching grade.
