PSA 10 vs PSA 9 vs raw for Gengar VMAX Alt Art

Fusion Strike was opened heavily, so raw copies are plentiful and grade does the pricing — sort by grade and compare within it to sold comps. A raw 'mint' copy should sit well below slabbed 10s, because the near-black art hides surface flaws.

How to spot the real Gengar VMAX Alt Art

1Confirm #271/264 — the number runs above the set's 264 count, marking the alt-art secret rare rather than the standard Gengar VMAX.
2The alt art shows Gengar looming over a night-time city; the standard VMAX has a plain textured background.
3Inspect the dark background under light for print lines and surface scratches — the usual gate to a PSA 10.
