Destiny Board [1st Edition] #LON-E088

Destiny Board [1st Edition] #LON-E088 collector guide

About Destiny Board

Destiny Board is a Continuous Trap Card, printed as LON-E088 in Labyrinth of Nightmare (2003) as an Ultra Rare. Labyrinth of Nightmare arrived in early 2003 and is best remembered for Torrential Tribute, Magic Cylinder, Gemini Elf and Dark Necrofear.

Character and collecting appeal

Destiny Board spells out F-I-N-A-L one letter per turn and wins the duel when the word is complete. In play, it is a card for an alternative way to win the duel. Spirit Message "A", Spirit Message "I", Spirit Message "L" and Spirit Message "N" mention Destiny Board in their text, which keeps it relevant.

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 LON-E088. The E in LON-E088 marks the European English printing. The North American printing uses a code without the letter, sometimes with a different card number, and has its own prices. It is the Ultra Rare version. Ultra Rares have a gold-foil name and holographic artwork. Labyrinth of Nightmare has 4 other printings of Destiny Board: LON-088 (€7.14), LON-088 1st Edition (€18.74), LON-E088 and LON-EN088 (€3.57). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Destiny Board yet, so we cannot give it a value.

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the 1st Edition run of an early English set, which will never be printed again; lasting fame from the anime or the competitive game. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code LON-E088, the "1st Edition" text and the Ultra Rare 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.
