Version and identification

Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read LON-EN016. The EN in LON-EN016 marks a later English printing, made after Konami moved every English card to EN codes. Copies with the original LON-016 code are a different printing. Labyrinth of Nightmare has 4 other printings of Curse of the Masked Beast: LON-016 (€0.48), LON-016 1st Edition (€0.65), LON-E016 and LON-E016 1st Edition (€3.25). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Curse of the Masked Beast yet, so we cannot give it a value.

Investment potential

In its favour: 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

Ask the seller to show the code LON-EN016 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.
