Version and identification
This guide covers the Unlimited printing, without the "1st Edition" text below the artwork. 1st Edition copies of the same card have their own, usually higher, prices. Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read IOC-044. The code IOC-044, without a language letter, marks the original North American printing. European English copies have an E in the code, such as IOC-E044, and are priced separately. It is the Short Print version. Short Prints look like Commons but were printed in smaller numbers. Invasion of Chaos has one other printing of Dimension Distortion: IOC-044 1st Edition (€1.25). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Investment potential
In its favour: steady demand, with ungraded prices up 15% in a year; it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.
Before you buy
Expect to pay around €0.82 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less. Ask the seller to show the code IOC-044, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Short Print finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Cards from 2004 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
