Electric Lizard [1st Edition] #MRD-E048 collector guide

About Electric Lizard

Electric Lizard is an Effect Monster, printed as MRD-E048 in Metal Raiders (2002) as a Common. It is a Level 3 EARTH Thunder monster with 850 ATK and 800 DEF. Metal Raiders was the second English booster set. It added Summoned Skull, Gate Guardian, Mirror Force and Change of Heart, and many of its cards shaped how the early game was played.

Character and collecting appeal

Thunder monsters are LIGHT-heavy and include the Thunder Dragon line. In play, it is a card for stopping attacks.

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 MRD-E048. The E in MRD-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. Metal Raiders has 3 other printings of Electric Lizard: MRD-048 (€0.22), MRD-048 1st Edition (€1.10) and MRD-E048 (€1.78). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Electric Lizard 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 MRD-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.
