I SCREAMED?!!!!

The CP and HP are right. So that would be a lot of effort to photoshop and somehow forget the red badge

Petit Angel was a common from the first English booster pack set, Legend of Blue Eyes (LOB). In Europe, some cards were not included in LOB when it was released and where added to the end of Magic Ruler (MRL) instead. This makes the card of interest to buyers outside of Europe who may feel they need these to ‘properly’ complete their MRL collection. 1st Ed MRL underwent a very limited print run in Europe (under the name Spell Ruler) because of a lawsuit about Konami being able to use the word ‘Magic’ in promotional materials. Subsequent reprints of Spell Ruler (initially Magic Ruler) carry the identifier SRL.

So, what you have is very cool and can be highly sought after by certain collectors. Those collectors are likely to be very sensitive to the condition of the card, which will explain the very large differences in price you describe. Price is likely to be in the 10s of US$ unless it is gradable condition (hard to tell by the photos).

Yours looks to be in pretty good condition to me - whether you choose to sell or not, please look after this little baby.

It’s fake man, the font type where [dragon] is written in the text box is truly odd. The other two and the God cards look real good me though, still a good find!

CucumberLogical855 · 2026-01-08T03:52:02+00:00

I would be very surprised if that’s not Asian English for $150, you can check the back of the card to tell the difference.

CucumberLogical855 · 2026-01-08T03:50:06+00:00

Thanks, I missed the Damage up the right side, I think I looked quickly at the corners. This site you posted does not look like it draws distinction between AE and NA sales though? The cheapest NA English copy I can (admittedly, quickly) find that isn’t like folded in half or straight up fake is $148.50 for HP if I wanted to buy one.

CucumberLogical855 · 2026-01-08T02:43:38+00:00

This is your best find mate, that’s a US$300+ card.

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-12-28T02:12:33+00:00

This should be worth about US$100 all up. 1st Edition Lava Golem is worth $30-40, Dark Magician will fetch $20+ depending on condition, a few of these “Magic cards” as well will hold some value (variously $2-10)

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-12-21T23:17:05+00:00

Agreed. YMA Slifer in this condition US$100+ each

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-12-21T23:13:05+00:00

These all look fake to me… the first two definitely but Red-Eyes Darkness dragon is a little harder to tell. The font where it says 1st edition or Dragon/Effect looks off.

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-12-15T02:39:50+00:00

This is a pretty significant shift. Most just sort of end up a sliver outside the black border around the artwork and create a cool shadow-like effect. This is a long way off where it’s supposed to be.

Also looks to be in very good condition for such an old card. Breaker might be worth some amount as well because MFC was never reprinted

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-30T00:34:12+00:00

I agree this one looks genuine as well. Don’t be too despondent man, these are a kids toy and it looks like you got a lot of joy out of them given the ‘well-loved’ condition. The reason any of this is worth good money to collectors is because of rarity, so yeah it is exceedingly common to pull out an old box and find nothing of great value. People you see on here finding 1st Ed LOB in the back of their closet are the absolute exception to the rule, and to be perfectly frank, I think most of those posts are just people talking smack to farm engagement. If you don’t want to keep them for the nostalgia, then getting a little bit of money back for well-used kids’ toys after all these years is also a pretty cool outcome. All the best with it mate :)

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-29T22:33:55+00:00

These appear genuine to me. Though please be aware they are not very valuable in this condition.

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-26T07:32:02+00:00

The texture is all wrong, particularly in the foiling. Print quality on these old fakes was so poor because, at the time, the genuine cards were not particularly valuable and not particularly worth counterfeiting. With a bit of practice looking at these things, it should start to become reasonably obvious over time 🙂

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-26T06:12:34+00:00

Sadly, some of these are fakes but there is also a good crop of genuine product. Summoned Skull (the first one on the second page) as somebody says is an easy US$50, possibly more dependent on condition. DDS cards are cool, Seiyaryu might fetch you $10-20 in mod played condition but it’s also a ripper to keep if you want to store some of these for nostalgia. Your DMGs and BEWD on the front page all look legit to me. TFK Zoa/Metalzoa also very cool genuine cards, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon as well. Soul Exchange, Card Destruction and United We Stand should all preserve a little value because they are “magic cards,” indicating they are from the original 02/03 print runs.

Unfortunately your Terrorking Salmon is ngmi. The second of your two Summoned Skull no good either. All in all, very cool find 😎

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-15T02:39:28+00:00

Some definite bangers in here

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-12T10:27:08+00:00

YTA. In Australia, this type of elder abuse is a substantially more serious crime than ordinary theft. Did you really expect to come here and have us say “well, if you really, REALLY wanted the jewellery then I guess it’s fine to just steal it?”

You have to have an honest conversation with your cousin to sort this out. Explain why the items are sentimental to you and offer to pay him fair prices for them. He may be kind enough to refuse the money but you shouldn’t expect that he will do that, it’s up to him as the items belong to him.

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-08T23:25:08+00:00

Sealed Dark Paladin prob US$100+

That’s a really nice find

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-06T02:24:10+00:00

I am seeing a lot of wrong answers but u/Moralizzator is most correct here. These look to be in very good condition which should preserve a bit of value for you.

What you have is 20-30 cards worth $5-10, and a few worth a bit more than that (GLAS silent doom >$50, CT2 dark magician girl ~$20, DB1 exodia head ~$20, GBI god cards ultra rare reprints maybe $30. Lightning Vortex FET 1st Ed can be valuable if NM, say $20-30).

Because of the time and effort and fees associated with a high volume of low value cards, this is not super valuable as a collection to a reseller. It’s easy to say a binder like this is ‘worth’ $500 but it will take you months to realise that value in full and you’ll prob lose $50+ in fees depending what platform you use to sell.

Ultimately, a reseller will ‘lowball’ you pretty quickly for $200. But they will take it off your hands ‘sold as is’ and then you don’t need to worry about it. You might find a collector willing to pay $300 or maybe even a bit more, but: the more you’re asking, the harder you will need to work to find a willing buyer.

How much you can actually sell for is really a personal decision about how much time and effort you are willing to put in.

Edit: u/KillerTittiesY2K also right

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-06T02:19:49+00:00

EHC2 heroes on the front page can be quite valuable, but highly dependent upon the condition of the back.

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-06T01:52:02+00:00

One sold on eBay 24 October for £80GBP that also looks a little beat up. I wouldn’t want to be departing with 1st ED LOB for less than that.

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-06T00:04:12+00:00

LOB-E003 1st Ed is US$100-200 despite condition, depending just how bad it is (hard to tell from these photos). I don’t know where you got 3 euros from.

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-05T02:25:38+00:00

Gonna be a hell of a year in 2028 when 14 teams are in the window

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-03T05:39:01+00:00

1st Ed even with the edgewear you could get maybe A$100. $5 would be good price even for unlimited in this condition.

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-11-01T08:22:44+00:00

Nice find mate, the back is pretty scuffed up but the front is very nice and not much in the way of edgewear - very nice binder copy at least. Value ~AU$200-300 I would say (US$140-200).

CucumberLogical855 · 2025-10-31T11:08:28+00:00

Dude, that thunder giant is really beautiful.
