Character and collecting appeal

Fiends are one of the largest Types in the game, home to many of its darker and more unusual designs. Its text is about discarding.

Version and identification

This guide covers the 1st Edition printing. The words "1st Edition" are printed below the artwork on the left; copies without them are the Unlimited printing and usually sell for less. Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read DCR-065. The code DCR-065, without a language letter, marks the original North American printing. European English copies have an E in the code, such as DCR-E065, and are priced separately. It is the Common version. Commons have a plain name and no foil. Dark Crisis has one other printing of Goblin of Greed: DCR-065 (€0.18). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

Today an ungraded copy of this printing sells for about €0.31, a PSA 9 for €6.24 and a PSA 10 for €56.21. Our monthly prices for it go back to February 2022. Over the last 12 months ungraded copies are down 81%, and down 40% in the last month. Its highest monthly ungraded value was €1.78 in June 2025, 83% above today. PSA 10 copies have moved down 13% over the same 12 months. 1st Edition copies sell for about 1.7× the Unlimited printing (€0.31 against €0.18).

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 181.3× the ungraded price and 9× a PSA 9. That gap is small, so grading fees may outweigh the gain unless the card is for your own collection. On cards from the early 2000s, the dark brown backs show every scuff and white edge, so top grades are scarce.

Investment potential

In its favour: a price well below its June 2025 peak, which some collectors see as room to recover; it comes from the 1st Edition run of an early English set, which will never be printed again; an active market (25 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: falling prices, down 81% in a year. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €0.31 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €6.24. Ask the seller to show the code DCR-065, the "1st Edition" text and the Common finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Cards from 2003 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
