Earthbound Spirit #LON-EN055 collector guide

About Earthbound Spirit

Earthbound Spirit is a Normal Monster, with flavour text instead of an effect, printed as LON-EN055 in Labyrinth of Nightmare (2003). It is a Level 4 EARTH Fiend monster with 500 ATK and 2,000 DEF. 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

Fiends are one of the largest Types in the game, home to many of its darker and more unusual designs. Normal Monsters like this one are mostly collected for their art and to complete the set.

Version and identification

Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read LON-EN055. The EN in LON-EN055 marks a later English printing, made after Konami moved every English card to EN codes. Copies with the original LON-055 code are a different printing. Labyrinth of Nightmare has 4 other printings of Earthbound Spirit: LON-055 (€0.89), LON-055 1st Edition (€3.35), LON-E055 (€2.38) and LON-E055 1st Edition (€3.94). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Earthbound Spirit 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. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code LON-EN055 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.
