Humanoid Slime [1st Edition] #LON-E003

Humanoid Slime [1st Edition] #LON-E003 collector guide

About Humanoid Slime

Humanoid Slime is a Normal Monster, with flavour text instead of an effect, printed as LON-E003 in Labyrinth of Nightmare (2003) as a Short Print. It is a Level 4 WATER Aqua monster with 800 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

Aqua monsters often work with water Field Spells such as Umi. As a Normal Monster it is collected for its artwork and its spot in the set rather than for play. Humanoid Worm Drake mentions Humanoid Slime in its 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-E003. The E in LON-E003 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 Short Print version. Short Prints look like Commons but were printed in smaller numbers. Labyrinth of Nightmare has 4 other printings of Humanoid Slime: LON-003 (€0.94), LON-003 1st Edition (€4.02), LON-E003 (€1.98) and LON-EN003. Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Humanoid Slime 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. 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-E003, the "1st Edition" text and the Short Print 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.
