I keep a set binder for Lost Origin, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Lost Origin set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gengar can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Gengar and the Gastly line. I still need this card.
