Character and collecting appeal

Cyberse monsters come from the VRAINS era and are closely tied to Link Summoning. Its effect centres on Special Summoning. 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 RA01-EN045. RA01-EN045 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 Collector's Rare version. Collector's Rares have a textured holographic finish over the artwork and frame. 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection has 6 other printings of Code Talker Inverted: RA01-EN045 Platinum Secret Rare (€0.22), RA01-EN045 Quarter Century Secret Rare (€0.89), RA01-EN045 Secret Rare (€0.22), RA01-EN045 Super Rare (€1.33), RA01-EN045 Ultimate Rare (€1.33) and RA01-EN045 Ultra Rare (€1.00).

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 9.2× the ungraded price. 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

Against it: falling prices, down 10% in a year; large modern print runs, which tend to cap prices unless a card becomes iconic. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €1.07 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less. Ask the seller to show the code RA01-EN045 and the Collector's 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.
