07Why Collectors Want It

  • Legendary Collection (2002) was the set that introduced reverse-holo "mirror foil" cards to the Pokémon TCG; its reverses are now among the most hunted vintage commons.
  • Kadabra was absent from new TCG cards from ~2002 until 2023 (the long-running Uri Geller dispute), so vintage Kadabra prints like this one are especially prized.
  • The reverse foil drives the raw value (~$110), and high grades command an outsized premium.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 Gem Mint realizes ~$4,484 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026) — a remarkable figure for an LC common, fueled by Kadabra's two-decade TCG absence.

Very low Gem-Mint population relative to demand; LC reverse foil grades tough.

Other graders: PSA dominates; BGS/CGC examples are scarce.
