About Steel Scorpion
Steel Scorpion is an Effect Monster, printed as MRD-E029 in Metal Raiders (2002) as a Common. It is a Level 1 EARTH Machine monster with 250 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
Machines range from early robots to modern archetypes, and the Type has a loyal following. Its text is about destroying cards.
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-E029. The E in MRD-E029 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 Steel Scorpion: MRD-029 (€0.36), MRD-029 1st Edition (€1.22) and MRD-E029. 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. Treat this as background, not a prediction or financial advice.
Before you buy
Ask the seller to show the code MRD-E029, 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.
