Ungraded, this printing ranks 678th of the 968 Quarter Century Bonanza cards we track. The top card is Blue-Eyes White Dragon at €192.99.
Character and collecting appeal
Machines range from early robots to modern archetypes, and the Type has a loyal following. Its text is about searching the Deck and destroying cards. Its once-per-turn limits are typical of modern card design. Its text names Geartown, so collectors often look for them together.
Version and identification
Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read RA03-EN046. RA03-EN046 is the English printing. Other languages use their own letters in place of EN, such as DE or FR, and are priced separately. It is the Ultra Rare version. Ultra Rares have a gold-foil name and holographic artwork.

Grading and population
A PSA 10 sells for 29.5× the ungraded price and 4.2× a PSA 9. That gap is small, so grading fees may outweigh the gain unless the card is for your own collection. Even pack-fresh modern cards can have surface scratches or curling foil, so a 10 is never guaranteed.
Investment potential
In its favour: a price well below its November 2024 peak, which some collectors see as room to recover; an active market (19 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: large modern print runs, which tend to cap prices unless a card becomes iconic. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.
Before you buy
Expect to pay around €1.13 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €8.02. Ask the seller to show the code RA03-EN046 and the Ultra 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.
