Haunter 029/102 Pokémon Base Set Shadowless Raw

Haunter, the 29th card in the iconic Base Set (102/102), emerges from the shadows as a prized piece of Pokémon TCG history. This Shadowless version, distinguished by the absence of a drop shadow beneath the Pokémon’s name, hails from the earliest print runs of the 1999 Base Set and is highly coveted among collectors. As a Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon with 60 HP, Haunter brings a haunting presence to any collection, featuring classic artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi that captures its mischievous and eerie charm. Its attacks, Hypnosis and Dream Eater, reflect its Ghost-type nature, making it not only a nostalgic treasure but also a thematic favorite for fans of the spooky side of Pokémon.

This raw (ungraded) Haunter card is a genuine piece of the original Pokémon TCG era, representing a time when the franchise first exploded in popularity. While not professionally graded, its Shadowless status significantly enhances its collectibility and value compared to later shadowed printings. The card's Uncommon rarity means it's more accessible than the set's holos, yet its condition and authenticity play a crucial role in its worth—Near Mint to Excellent examples are especially sought after. Whether you're completing a master set, focusing on Shadowless variants, or simply drawn to Haunter’s ghostly allure, this card is a foundational element of any serious vintage Pokémon collection.
