Kojikocy [1st Edition] #MRD-010 collector guide

About Kojikocy

Kojikocy is a Normal Monster, with flavour text instead of an effect, printed as MRD-010 in Metal Raiders (2002) as a Common. It is a Level 4 EARTH Warrior 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. Ungraded, this printing ranks 465th of the 508 Metal Raiders cards we track. The top card is Gate Guardian at €301.65.

Character and collecting appeal

Warriors are one of the oldest and largest Types, and have had support in almost every era of the game. As a Normal Monster it is collected for its artwork and its spot in the set rather than for play.

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-010. The code MRD-010, without a language letter, marks the original North American printing. European English copies have an E in the code, such as MRD-E010, and are priced separately. It is the Common version. Commons have a plain name and no foil. Metal Raiders has 3 other printings of Kojikocy: MRD-010 (€0.21), MRD-E010 and MRD-E010 1st Edition (€7.76). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly. It was also printed in Starter Deck: Kaiba, which we track separately.

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 246.5× the ungraded price and 5× a PSA 9. That gap is big enough that grading a sharp, well-centred copy can pay for itself. On cards from the early 2000s, the dark brown backs show every scuff and white edge, so top grades are scarce.

Investment potential

In its favour: a price well below its August 2025 peak, which some collectors see as room to recover; it comes from the 1st Edition run of an early English set, which will never be printed again; an active market (32 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: falling prices, down 75% in a year; reprints in another set, which keep playable copies easy to find. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €0.45 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €22.28. Ask the seller to show the code MRD-010, 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.
