Magic Cylinder #LON-E104 collector guide

About Magic Cylinder

Magic Cylinder is a Normal Trap Card, printed as LON-E104 in Labyrinth of Nightmare (2003) as a Secret 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

Magic Cylinder stops an attack and deals the attacker's ATK as damage to its controller. Its text is about negating cards and effects and dealing damage.

Version and identification

This guide covers the Unlimited printing, without the "1st Edition" text below the artwork. 1st Edition copies of the same card have their own, usually higher, prices. Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read LON-E104. The E in LON-E104 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 Secret Rare version. Secret Rares have a rainbow-foil name and diagonal holographic artwork. Labyrinth of Nightmare has 4 other printings of Magic Cylinder: LON-104 (€6.08), LON-104 1st Edition (€33.02), LON-E104 1st Edition (€55.49) and LON-EN104 (€6.47). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly. It was also printed in Quarter Century Bonanza, which we track separately.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Magic Cylinder 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; lasting fame from the anime or the competitive game; it is the original printing, which reprints rarely replace for collectors. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code LON-E104, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Secret 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.
