Ungraded, this printing ranks 167th of the 564 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II cards we track. The top card is Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon at €98.17.

Character and collecting appeal

Cyberse monsters come from the VRAINS era and are closely tied to Link Summoning. Its text is about destroying cards. It has a Quick Effect, so it can also be used during the opponent's turn. Its once-per-turn limits are typical of modern card design.

Version and identification

Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read RA02-EN042. RA02-EN042 is the English printing. Other languages use their own letters in place of EN, such as DE or FR, and are priced separately. It is the Super Rare version. Super Rares have holographic artwork and a plain name. 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II has 6 other printings of I:P Masquerena: RA02-EN042 Collector's Rare (€4.68), RA02-EN042 Platinum Secret Rare (€5.80), RA02-EN042 Quarter Century Secret Rare (€21.07), RA02-EN042 Secret Rare (€2.45), RA02-EN042 Ultimate Rare (€4.43) and RA02-EN042 Ultra Rare (€2.01).

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 18.8× the ungraded price and 3.8× a PSA 9. That gap is small, so grading fees may outweigh the gain unless the card is for your own collection. Even pack-fresh modern cards can have surface scratches or curling foil, so a 10 is never guaranteed.

Investment potential

In its favour: a price well below its June 2025 peak, which some collectors see as room to recover; it is the original printing, which reprints rarely replace for collectors; an active market (25 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: falling prices, down 26% in a year; large modern print runs, which tend to cap prices unless a card becomes iconic. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €2.02 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €9.92. Ask the seller to show the code RA02-EN042 and the Super Rare finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Modern foils can be scratched or curled straight from the pack, so check the surface under a light if you plan to grade.
