Gastly - Legend Maker (LM)

Gastly #52/92 from Pokémon TCG EX Legend Maker — a genuine piece of mid-2000s EX era history. EX Legend Maker is the 12th expansion in the Pokémon TCG EX Series, released in English on February 13, 2006. The set's theme centers on the Mirage Forest and ancient Pokémon, with Fossil favorites headlining the holo slots and Fossil-type trainers pushing the theme even further. Gold Star cards featuring Regice, Regirock, and Registeel stand as the major collector chase of the release — placing this Gastly firmly in a set that serious collectors still pursue today.

• Card: Gastly — EX Legend Maker, #52/92, Common, illustrated by Hajime Kusajima
• Attacks: Lick (flip a coin — if heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed) and Smog (the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned).
• Variations: This is one of two Gastly card variations in the 2006 EX Legend Maker set — Base and Reverse Holo.
• Market: The Base version in Near Mint condition has recently sold for around $1.50 , while the Reverse Holo variant has climbed — up nearly 30% in 30 days — with a recent Near Mint sale at $84.99.

Gastly is the foundational step in one of Pokémon's most beloved Ghost-type evolutionary lines, leading straight into Haunter and the fan-favorite Gengar — who appears as card #5 in this very set. For set collectors building a complete EX Legend Maker run or Gastly line enthusiasts chasing vintage prints, this 2006 card delivers authentic EX era character at an accessible entry point. The set slipped out during a crowded 2006 schedule, leaving near-mint populations thinner than expected, and high-grade copies have quietly appreciated while louder EX sets grabbed the spotlight. Don't overlook the foundation of your Ghost-type collection.
