Mystic Tomato [Misprint] #MRL-E094 collector guide

About Mystic Tomato

Mystic Tomato is an Effect Monster, printed as MRL-E094 in Magic Ruler (2002) as a Rare. It is a Level 4 DARK Plant monster with 1,400 ATK and 1,100 DEF. Magic Ruler was the third English booster set and brought Pegasus's Toon cards into the game. Magic Cards were later renamed Spell Cards and the set was reprinted as Spell Ruler, so Magic Ruler copies are the original printing.

Character and collecting appeal

Plant monsters are a small Type that has grown in popularity with modern support. Its text is about Special Summoning and destroying cards.

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 MRL-E094. The E in MRL-E094 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 Rare version. Rares have a silver-foil name and plain artwork. This is a misprint, priced separately from correctly printed copies. Make sure the listing photos show the error. Magic Ruler has 5 other printings of Mystic Tomato: MRL-094 (€0.71), MRL-094 1st Edition (€3.78), MRL-094 Misprint (€24.26), MRL-E094 (€2.32) and MRL-E094 1st Edition (€4.55). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed. Treat this as background, not a prediction or financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code MRL-E094, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Rare 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.
