Remove Trap [1st Edition] #LOB-E048

Remove Trap [1st Edition] #LOB-E048 collector guide

About Remove Trap

Remove Trap is a Normal Spell Card, printed as LOB-E048 in Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (2002) as a Common. Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon was the first booster set of the English Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. It brought Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician, Red-Eyes Black Dragon and the five pieces of Exodia to English-speaking players, so almost every card in it is a piece of the game's history.

Character and collecting appeal

In play, it is a card for destroying cards.

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 LOB-E048. The E in LOB-E048 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. Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon has 3 other printings of Remove Trap: LOB-060 (€0.31), LOB-060 1st Edition (€4.21) and LOB-E048 (€2.70). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly. It was also printed in Starter Deck: Kaiba and Starter Deck: Yugi, which we track separately.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Remove Trap 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; 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 LOB-E048, the "1st Edition" text and the Common finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Cards from 2002 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
