## How to identify each version

- **1st Edition Ultra Rare original-art MFC-105**: Printed MFC-105, Ultra Rare, 1st Edition text below the art, and the regular PSA/CardFacts 1st Edition Dark Paladin category rather than the corrected-art category.
- **1st Edition Ultra Rare corrected-art MFC-105**: Printed MFC-105, Ultra Rare, 1st Edition text, and the corrected artwork variant separated by PSA as 1st Edition-Corrected Art.
- **Unlimited Ultra Rare**: Printed MFC-105 and Ultra Rare treatment, with no 1st Edition text; Unlimited copies should not be merged with either 1st Edition category.

**Identity note:** Seed rarity corrected from Secret Rare to Ultra Rare based on Konami's database and PSA. The corrected-art variant is a distinct PSA category and should be tracked separately from regular 1st Edition MFC-105.

## Why this card matters

Konami's official database lists Dark Paladin as MFC-105 in Magician's Force, released October 10, 2003, with Ultra Rare rarity. PSA separates regular 1st Edition Dark Paladin from 1st Edition-Corrected Art, and the sales tables show different observed price behavior. This makes exact artwork identification unusually important: the name, set code, and edition are not enough unless the artwork category is also recorded.

## Identifying the exact version

Confirm MFC-105 under the artwork, then check whether the card has 1st Edition text. For 1st Edition copies, compare the artwork against PSA's regular 1st Edition and 1st Edition-Corrected Art categories. Konami's database confirms the card's Ultra Rare MFC-105 identity, while PSA's CardFacts pages are the evidence used here for the corrected-art market distinction. Unlimited MFC-105 lacks 1st Edition text and must remain separate from both 1st Edition categories.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

Opened PSA records show corrected-art 1st Edition PSA 9 sales in 2026 around the mid-four figures, while regular 1st Edition PSA 9 and PSA 10 records in PSA CardFacts are a separate comparison set. Grade remains important, but artwork category is an additional filter before grade. A corrected-art PSA 9 should not be averaged with a regular-art PSA 9, and neither should be merged with Unlimited.

## Authenticity checks

Compare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Dark Paladin, the artwork category is part of authentication and identification, so compare the image to a verified reference before relying on the label. Check MFC-105, Ultra Rare treatment, edition text, card back, surface, and edges. For slabs, verify the PSA cert and compare photos, but remember that copied cert numbers can exist.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** Dark Paladin MFC-105 is a Secret Rare. **What the evidence says:** Konami's official database and PSA identify MFC-105 as Ultra Rare, so the seed Secret Rare label is corrected.
- **Myth:** All 1st Edition MFC-105 copies can be priced together. **What the evidence says:** PSA separates regular 1st Edition and 1st Edition-Corrected Art, and CardVolume should preserve that distinction.
- **Myth:** The corrected-art copy is just a condition note. **What the evidence says:** The corrected artwork is a version attribute, not a grade or condition description, so it belongs in identity before pricing.
