PSA 7 - Gengar - Carddass Vending - Pokémon - 1996

Cardass Vending (1996) - Gengar (PSA 7)

Release Date: 1996.

Step back to the very beginning of Pokémon card history with the Gengar Carddass Vending card, released in 1996 by Bandai as part of the original Carddass vending machine series in Japan. Predating the official TCG, these glossy cards were among the first Pokémon trading cards ever produced, making them a foundational piece of the hobby’s legacy.

This card features Gengar, the fan-favorite Ghost-type Pokémon from the original 151, rendered in bold artwork that reflects the style of Pokémon’s early years. The Carddass series is especially prized for its role in kickstarting Pokémon’s collectible culture, and Gengar remains one of the most iconic and desirable cards in the set.

Graded PSA 7 (Near Mint), this copy retains strong visual appeal while offering accessibility for collectors seeking vintage Pokémon without the premium of higher grades. With early Bandai-issued promos becoming increasingly scarce in graded condition, this Gengar Carddass PSA 7 stands as a unique opportunity to own an authentic piece of Pokémon’s origin story.
