Potion 94/102 Pokémon Base Set Shadowless Raw

The Potion (94/102) from the Pokémon Base Set Shadowless edition is a nostalgic staple for collectors and players alike. As a Common Trainer card released in 1999, it holds a special place in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This Shadowless version is particularly sought after due to its early print run, identifiable by the absence of the shadowed border that was introduced in later editions. Featuring classic artwork and simple yet effective gameplay utility, the Potion card allows players to remove up to 2 damage counters from one of their Pokémon—a small but strategic advantage during intense matches. Its inclusion in the original Base Set, which launched the TCG phenomenon in the West, makes it a foundational piece for any vintage collection.

This raw (ungraded) Shadowless Potion card captures the authentic feel of the game’s earliest days. Whether pulled from an old deck or acquired as a standalone piece, it represents a tangible connection to the roots of Pokémon TCG. The card’s condition ranges from Near Mint to Moderate Play, showing honest use without major creases, bends, or scuffs—perfect for collectors who appreciate cards with character and history. While not holographic or rare in scarcity, its role as a functional and iconic part of early decks gives it enduring appeal. The minimalist design and vintage card text reflect the game’s original mechanics, offering a glimpse into how the TCG evolved over the years.
