Abra 43/102 Pokémon Base Set Unlimited Raw

Abra (43/102) from the Pokémon Base Set Unlimited edition is a beloved entry in the world of Pokémon trading cards, capturing the essence of the franchise’s early charm. As a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon, this card marks one of the first appearances of Abra in the TCG, making it a nostalgic favorite for longtime fans and collectors. With its simple yet iconic design illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card features Abra in its signature meditative pose, exuding calmness while hinting at its powerful psychic abilities. Though classified as a Common card, its presence in the Base Set—a foundational release for the TCG—grants it lasting significance among enthusiasts of the game’s history.

This Unlimited version of Abra was released in 1999 and is easily recognizable by the "Unlimited" symbol at the bottom right corner of the card, distinguishing it from the rarer 1st Edition prints. With 30 HP and a single attack, Psyshock (10 damage, with a chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon), the card may not stand out in competitive play, but its value lies in its collectibility and role in completing a Base Set run. The straightforward gameplay mechanic and classic artwork make it a charming addition to vintage decks or display collections, especially for those recreating original Base Set lineups.
