# Abra (Japanese) #040 — Split Earth

## Summary

Split Earth reached Japanese shelves in August 2002, nine months before Skyridge, the English set that carries this Abra, so the Japanese edition came first by a comfortable margin. The e-Card era frame gives it a warm orange border, and Abra sits mid-teleport on a sunlit desert shore, arms raised over its closed eyes. As a common it is bulk by pull rate, though its Psychic type and sleepy pose make it a pleasant Japanese Abra for completionists. The modelled guide sits at $26 with 2 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $300 and a 50% observed gem rate putting about $37 of expected profit per submission.
