Pokémon Cresselia EX 143/149 Boundaries Crossed Ultra Rare Full Art Holo 170 HP
Price: $90.00
Pokémon Cresselia EX from Boundaries Crossed, card number 143/149, clocks in as an ultra rare full art holo. We’re talking raw condition here, the kind collectors chase for that untouched vibe straight from the pack. The artwork spreads across the whole card, showing Cresselia floating in this ethereal, starry scene with swirling psychic energy— the holo catches light like crazy, giving it a dreamy glow that shifts as you tilt it.
On the card text side, it’s a Psychic type with 170 HP. Its Ability is Sparkling Particles, which lets you heal 20 damage from each of your Pokémon between turns if Cresselia EX is your Active one. Then there’s the attack, Psychic Protection, costing three Psychic and one Colorless energy for 90 damage, and it prevents all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon during your opponent’s next turn. Solid defensive play if you’re building around stall or healing strategies.
Boundaries Crossed dropped back in 2012, part of the Black & White era expansions, pulling from the Japanese Red Collection and other sets. It was a time when full arts were ramping up in popularity, with that thicker card stock that’s prone to minor edge wear if not handled right. Common raw quirks include centering that’s often a tad off—maybe 60/40 on the borders if you’re measuring—and the holo foil can show print lines or faint scratches from factory handling. But a clean copy? Edges stay crisp without chipping, and the surface holds up well against fingerprints.
Diving into raw condition details, you want those corners pointed and free of dings, like they just popped from a booster. Edges should be smooth, no whitening or fraying that creeps in from shuffling or storage mishaps. The surface needs to be scratch-free, especially on that full art background where any mark stands out, and the holo flash ought to pop without haze or dull spots from age. Centering is key too; aim for even borders top to bottom, left to right, to avoid that lopsided look some pulls have. Overall, these can age gracefully in a sleeve, but watch for whitening on the back if it’s been in a binder too long.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
