About Gilasaurus

Gilasaurus is an Effect Monster, printed as LON-EN071 in Labyrinth of Nightmare (2003) as a Rare. It is a Level 3 EARTH Dinosaur monster with 1,400 ATK and 400 DEF.

Character and collecting appeal

Dinosaurs are a favourite Type of Rex Raptor in the anime and have had strong modern support. In play, it is a card for Special Summoning.

Version and identification

Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read LON-EN071. The EN in LON-EN071 marks a later English printing, made after Konami moved every English card to EN codes. Copies with the original LON-071 code are a different printing. It is the Rare version. Rares have a silver-foil name and plain artwork. Labyrinth of Nightmare has 5 other printings of Gilasaurus: LON-071 (€0.95), LON-071 1st Edition (€0.99), LON-E071, LON-E071 1st Edition (€2.33) and LON-EN071. Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Gilasaurus 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. Treat this as background, not a prediction or financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code LON-EN071 and the 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.
