History
The Sword & Shield era of the Pokémon TCG marked a significant shift with the introduction of Pokémon V and VMAX, offering powerful new mechanics and card types. Chilling Reign, released in June 2021, was a major expansion that added numerous powerful Pokémon and alternative art cards. First Edition cards from this era are particularly sought after by collectors, as they represent the initial print run and are generally rarer than unlimited versions. The illustrator, Eskei, is known for their dynamic and engaging artwork within the Pokémon universe.
Facts
Gourgeist itself is based on a pumpkin, a plant that traditionally symbolizes autumn and Halloween, fitting its Ghost-type classification. The VMAX mechanic represents Gigantamaxing, a special form of Dynamaxing unique to certain Pokémon. Cards with higher HP and powerful attacks, especially in VMAX form, are often central to competitive play and highly desired by collectors. The rarity of a Secret Rare, combined with First Edition status, significantly increases its collectible appeal.
Value Fact
The market value for this particular CGC 9.5 1st Edition Chilling Reign Secret Rare Gourgeist VMAX card can fluctuate significantly based on demand and recent sales. As a highly sought-after card from a popular expansion, its price is driven by collectors and players alike. While raw, ungraded copies might range from $50-$100, a Gem Mint grade like 9.5 from CGC often commands a premium, potentially placing it in the $150-$250 range or higher, depending on market trends and the scarcity of graded examples.
