Before you buy
Expect to pay around €1.34 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less. Ask the seller to show the code RA03-EN046 and the Collector's Rare finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Modern foils can be scratched or curled straight from the pack, so check the surface under a light if you plan to grade.
