Character and collecting appeal
Upstart Goblin draws a card at the cost of giving the opponent 1000 Life Points, and it was long used to thin decks. Its text is about drawing cards.
Version and identification
Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read RA03-EN096. RA03-EN096 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 Platinum Secret Rare version. Platinum Secret Rares are a newer Secret Rare variant with a platinum-coloured finish. Quarter Century Bonanza has one other printing of Upstart Goblin: RA03-EN096 Quarter Century Secret Rare (€93.71). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly. It was also printed in Magic Ruler, which we track separately.

Grading and population
A PSA 10 sells for 3.5× the ungraded price and 1.2× 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: steady demand, with ungraded prices up 26% in a year; lasting fame from the anime or the competitive game; an active market (27 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; 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 €12.17 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €35.67. Ask the seller to show the code RA03-EN096 and the Platinum Secret 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.
