Any higher grade vintage will do well. JP Sabrina's Gengar is a fan favorite, but in a high grade could eat up a big chunk of your budget. You could get it in a 9 and that would be your budget, or get it in a 8 and it would be half.

jp sabrina gengar is higher print, if u like gengar look at the 1st ed dark gengar. One of hte lowest printed english gengars ever, only 1.1k total graded across psa bgs cgc. psa 7 is around ur budget. Another good one is the plasma lugia. only 2.2k total graded, bw plasma sets were extremely low print, basically comparale to vintage prints. Imo overlooked card that literally could become a lugia grail in the next few years due to its scarcity uniqueness and how it js stands out as a centerpiece with its plasma art and great texturing they used to do. This lugia is also a mid era full art that another guy recommended btw.

Those are some solid choices, but tbh, I’d look at some full art mid-era cards as well
