Character and collecting appeal

Fairies are known for their light, angelic artwork and for cards that protect Life Points. Its effect centres on destroying cards. St. Joan mentions The Forgiving Maiden in its text, which keeps it relevant.

Version and identification

Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read LON-EN044. The EN in LON-EN044 marks a later English printing, made after Konami moved every English card to EN codes. Copies with the original LON-044 code are a different printing. 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-E044 1st Edition. 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 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-EN044 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.
