Queen's Double [1st Edition] #MRD-E051

Queen's Double [1st Edition] #MRD-E051 collector guide

About Queen's Double

Queen's Double is an Effect Monster, printed as MRD-E051 in Metal Raiders (2002) as a Short Print. It is a Level 1 EARTH Warrior monster with 350 ATK and 300 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

Warriors are one of the oldest and largest Types, and have had support in almost every era of the game. Empress Judge mentions Queen's Double in its text, which keeps it relevant.

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-E051. The E in MRD-E051 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 Short Print version. Short Prints look like Commons but were printed in smaller numbers. Metal Raiders has 3 other printings of Queen's Double: MRD-051 (€0.62), MRD-051 1st Edition (€4.50) and MRD-E051 (€1.51). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Queen's Double 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. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code MRD-E051, the "1st Edition" text and the 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.
