Pokémon TCG: Abra #43 PSA 9 - Base

Details for Abra #43 Base Set PSA 9

Here you have a classic collectible card from the Pokémon TCG’s iconic beginnings: Abra #43/102 from the original Base Set (1999), professionally graded and slabbed by PSA to Mint (PSA 9). This card represents an important piece of Pokémon history and is an excellent choice for collectors who value nostalgia, authenticity and quality.

Base Set and Abra's collectible status

The Base Set is the first English set released by Wizards of the Coast and laid the foundation for many collectors' passion for Pokémon cards. Although Abra #43 is a common, Base Set commons with high PSA grades have gained significant collector interest, especially among those aiming to complete sets in Mint condition or to build a PSA registry.

Abra is the first stage in the classic Abra–Kadabra–Alakazam evolution line, which has been popular with both players and collectors since 1999. The illustrations were created by the renowned artist Mitsuhiro Arita, adding further authenticity and value for enthusiasts.

PSA 9 Mint – Professional grading and protection

The card is professionally graded by PSA and is provided in a sturdy, transparent slab with a label documenting authenticity and condition. A PSA 9 (Mint) means the card appears nearly flawless, with only minimal signs of handling — an attractive grade for any serious collector of Graded cards.

The slab effectively protects the card from wear, dust and UV light, ensuring long-term storage. For additional protection or transport, we recommend checking our selection of Accessories for graded cards.
