Character and collecting appeal

Plant monsters are a small Type that has grown in popularity with modern support. Its effect centres on dealing damage and sending cards to the Graveyard.

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 LOD-061. The code LOD-061, without a language letter, marks the original North American printing. European English copies have an E in the code, such as LOD-E061, and are priced separately. It is the Common version. Commons have a plain name and no foil. Legacy of Darkness has one other printing of Woodland Sprite: LOD-061 1st Edition (€0.15). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

Today an ungraded copy of this printing sells for about €0.22, a PSA 9 for €5.35 and a PSA 10 for €39.65. Our monthly prices for it go back to November 2021. Over the last 12 months ungraded copies are down 82%, and down 19% in the last month. Its highest monthly ungraded value was €1.38 in April 2025, 84% above today. PSA 10 copies have moved down 31% over the same 12 months. Unusually, Unlimited copies currently sell for as much as or more than 1st Edition ones (€0.22 against €0.15).

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 180.2× the ungraded price and 7.4× a PSA 9. That gap is small, so grading fees may outweigh the gain unless the card is for your own collection. On cards from the early 2000s, the dark brown backs show every scuff and white edge, so top grades are scarce.

Investment potential

In its favour: a price well below its April 2025 peak, which some collectors see as room to recover; it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed; an active market (25 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: falling prices, down 82% in a year. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €0.22 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €5.35. Ask the seller to show the code LOD-061, the missing "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.
