Gengar VMAX #271/264 is the alternate-art Gengar from Sword & Shield Fusion Strike, released in late 2021. The number runs past the set count, which marks it as a secret rare, and instead of the standard VMAX render it uses a full-scene illustration with Gengar's purple set against a dark background. That artwork is the whole story: it's one of the alt arts collectors chase to finish a Sword & Shield binder, and one of the most recognisable Ghost-type cards of the era.
The PSA market is interesting because it's busy. Thousands of copies have been graded, so there's a steady flow of PSA 9 and PSA 10 sales, and the price gap between those two grades is where most of the conversation happens.
How much is Gengar VMAX #271 worth?
Value depends heavily on the grade on the label and on what copies have actually sold recently. The figure below is SlabGeek's Est. Value for a PSA 10, built from recent exact-grade sales of this specific card. It updates as new sales come in.

Gengar VMAX #271 PSA values by grade
Modern alt arts are judged hard on centering, edges and surface. A copy that misses PSA 10 by a whisker usually lands at PSA 9, and buyers treat those two grades very differently. That's why the PSA 9 to PSA 10 jump on this card can be substantial, while PSA 8 and PSA 9 sit closer together.

If you're deciding whether to submit a raw copy, compare the PSA 9 and PSA 10 rows with your own read on the card's centering and surface. A PSA 9 is a real outcome, not a rare one.

Total graded: 27,670. PSA 10 rate: 52.8%.
Gengar VMAX #271 is a heavily graded modern card, and a large share of submitted copies come back as PSA 10. That matters for pricing: a PSA 10 here is valued as a condition grade on a widely graded card, not as a rarity. The population figures help explain why PSA 10 copies trade frequently.
Is Gengar VMAX #271 rare?
As a secret rare, it was harder to pull from Fusion Strike packs than regular cards in the set. But it isn't scarce in graded form. The PSA population is large, and the PSA 10 rate is high for a modern alt art. What keeps the price up is demand for the artwork, not a lack of supply.
