Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $12.00 - $18.00; Graded (PSA 10): $60.00 - $85.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay and TCGPlayer sales for 1st Edition NM copies range from $13.00 to $20.00. PSA 10 copies have recently settled under $100 due to high supply.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the left on the front. Edges and corners look clean through the sleeve, with no visible whitening. Surface appears free of major scuffs, though Premium Gold Rares are prone to factory foil scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if aiming for a personal collection or a guaranteed Gem Mint 10. The value increase for a PSA 9 often does not cover the cost of grading and shipping for this specific modern reprint.
Card Description
[Spellcaster / Normal] The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense. ATK/2500 DEF/2100
Notable Features
Features the 'Premium Gold Rare' technology with raised golden borders and accents. Displays the classic Arkana-style or alternative tablet artwork favored by many collectors.
Authentication Notes
Font styling matches Konami's 'Maximum Gold' layout. The holographic gold foil on the level stars and attribute symbol is consistent with authentic MAGO production. 1st Edition text is correctly positioned.
