Jellyfish [1st Edition] #MRD-E072 collector guide

About Jellyfish

Jellyfish is a Normal Monster, with flavour text instead of an effect, printed as MRD-E072 in Metal Raiders (2002) as a Common. It is a Level 4 WATER Aqua monster with 1,200 ATK and 1,500 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. Ungraded, this printing ranks 299th of the 508 Metal Raiders cards we track. The top card is Gate Guardian at €301.65.

Character and collecting appeal

Aqua monsters often work with water Field Spells such as Umi. With no effect, its appeal is its artwork, its stats and its place in Metal Raiders.

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-E072. The E in MRD-E072 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 Jellyfish: MRD-072 (€0.44), MRD-072 1st Edition (€0.72) and MRD-E072. Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the 1st Edition run of an early English set, which will never be printed again. Against it: thin trading, so selling quickly can mean accepting a lower price. Treat this as background, not a prediction or financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €1.58 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less. Ask the seller to show the code MRD-E072, 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.
