Cresselia EX (143 Full Art) 143/149 Boundaries Crossed Holo
Price: $47.50
Cresselia EX from Boundaries Crossed, the full art version at 143/149, hits as an ultra rare in raw condition, straight out of a pack with that clean appeal for collectors who dig psychic types. The artwork pops with Cresselia floating in a starry void, all ethereal blues and pinks swirling around, and yeah, the holo foil catches light in a way that makes the crescent moon details shimmer without overwhelming the vibe.
On the card text side, it’s a psychic-type basic Pokémon-EX with 170 HP. Its ability, Sparkling Particles, lets you heal 20 damage from this Cresselia EX between turns if it’s your active Pokémon. Then there’s the attack, Psychic Protection, costing three psychic and one colorless energy for 90 damage, plus it shrugs off weakness during your opponent’s next turn. Solid setup for stalling or building up in a deck.
Boundaries Crossed dropped back in 2012, part of the Black & White era, and these full art EX cards were a big shift, blending killer illustrations with gameplay punch. Raw copies often show up with decent centering, but watch for those factory edges that might have a tiny ding from printing runs—nothing major on a clean one, though. The card stock feels sturdy, typical for the set, with that slight texture that holds up well over time.
Diving into raw condition details, corners on a fresh pull stay sharp, no rounding or fuzz like you’d see on played stuff. Edges run clean, maybe a whisper of whitening if it’s been thumbed through binders, but a solid raw example keeps them pristine. Surface-wise, the full art holo has minimal scratches, preserving that deep foil flash across the artwork, and the back’s usually spotless without print lines or miscuts. Centering tends to lean 60/40 on some, but clean raws can nail it closer to even, making the borders pop symmetrically.
Sleeve it up for your psychic squad or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s got that lunar glow going.
