## How to identify each version

- **1st Edition Secret Rare**: Printed set code IOC-000, Secret Rare treatment, and 1st Edition text below the artwork; expected First Edition security foil is gold.
- **Unlimited Secret Rare**: Printed set code IOC-000 and Secret Rare treatment, without 1st Edition text; expected Unlimited security foil is silver.

**Identity note:** Seed identity confirmed as English IOC-000 Secret Rare. Do not merge with IOC-EN000 from 25th Anniversary reprint products or other later Chaos Emperor Dragon releases.

## Why this card matters

Konami's official database identifies Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End as a DARK Level 8 Dragon Effect Monster and lists IOC-000 in Invasion of Chaos as Secret Rare. The collector-relevant version in this batch is the English IOC-000 printing, not later reprints or different regional codes. Because this card name appears across multiple products, CardVolume should treat IOC-000 1st Edition and IOC-000 Unlimited as separate variants.

## Identifying the exact version

The exact printed code is the first check: IOC-000 belongs to the original English Invasion of Chaos release in this seed, while later listings may show IOC-EN000 or other codes. For a pre-2014 English Yu-Gi-Oh! card, 1st Edition text should appear below the artwork; Unlimited lacks it. Secret Rare treatment, language, edition text, and region should be recorded before using any sale as a comparable.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The main price filters are edition, grade, and whether the sale is for the original IOC-000 Secret Rare rather than a later reprint. A PSA price guide gives broad PSA guide values for Chaos Emperor Dragon in IOC, but a guide value is not a sold comparable under CardVolume's pricing rules. No opened primary sold page for a specific IOC-000 sale was established in this batch, so the sales array is intentionally left empty.

## Authenticity checks

Compare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For IOC-000, verify the card name, exact set code, edition text, Secret Rare treatment, card back, and the consistency of the photos with the claimed language and region. For slabs, verify cert details and images when possible, then still compare the physical card and holder because a copied cert number can appear in a fraudulent listing.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** IOC-000 and IOC-EN000 can be valued together because the name is the same. **What the evidence says:** The knowledge base requires set code and version separation; original IOC-000 and later IOC-EN000 reprints are different objects.
- **Myth:** A PSA guide value is the same as a sale comp. **What the evidence says:** Chapter 03 requires opened sold comparables; a price guide can be context but is not a transaction record by itself.
- **Myth:** Low graded population would prove future price movement. **What the evidence says:** Chapter 10 rejects population-only price claims; demand and actual market availability are separate evidence questions.

## FAQ

### How much is a PSA 10 1st Edition Chaos Emperor Dragon IOC-000 worth?

Not established from opened sold-comparable pages in this batch; the PSA price guide lists a PSA 10 guide value of $3,000 for 1st Edition, but that is not a sold comp.

### Is IOC-000 a Secret Rare?

Yes, Konami's official database lists IOC-000 Invasion of Chaos as Secret Rare.

### How do I tell 1st Edition IOC-000 from Unlimited?

For this pre-2014 card, 1st Edition copies carry 1st Edition text below the art, while Unlimited copies lack that text; confirm the IOC-000 code and Secret Rare treatment too.

### How many PSA 10 IOC-000 copies exist?

Unknown in this batch because no opened PSA population page with a source-stated as-of date was established for the exact IOC-000 variant.

### Can I use a later IOC-EN000 sale to price original IOC-000?

No, later IOC-EN000 reprints should be treated as separate versions unless the analysis is explicitly about substitute supply rather than the exact original printing.
