Character and collecting appeal

Fairies are known for their light, angelic artwork and for cards that protect Life Points. In play, it is a card for destroying cards. St. Joan mentions The Forgiving Maiden 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-E044. The E in LON-E044 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 Common version. Commons have a plain name and no foil. Labyrinth of Nightmare has 4 other printings of The Forgiving Maiden: LON-044 (€0.53), LON-044 1st Edition (€0.79), LON-E044 (€3.11) and LON-EN044. Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

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

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code LON-E044, the "1st Edition" text and the Common 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.
