Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts #MRD-E124 collector guide

About Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts

Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts is a Normal Monster, with flavour text instead of an effect, printed as MRD-E124 in Metal Raiders (2002) as a Super Short Print. It is a Level 4 EARTH Beast monster with 1,500 ATK and 1,200 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

Beasts are one of the classic monster Types of the original series. Normal Monsters like this one are mostly collected for their art and to complete the set.

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 MRD-E124. The E in MRD-E124 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 Super Short Print version. Super Short Prints look like Commons but were printed in even smaller numbers than Short Prints. Metal Raiders has 3 other printings of Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts: MRD-124 (€0.83), MRD-124 1st Edition (€7.13) and MRD-E124 1st Edition (€4.19). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

There are no recent sales of this printing of Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts 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. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code MRD-E124, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Super Short Print 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.
