Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Compare grading math across cards · Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Summoned Skull
Summoned Skull MRD-003 is the Ultra Rare Summoned Skull from Metal Raiders. Collectors search for it because it is an early English printing of a classic monster, with 1st Edition and Unlimited copies requiring separate comps.
Why this card matters
Verified factKonami's official card database lists Summoned Skull as MRD-003 in Metal Raiders with Ultra Rare rarity. The card is part of the early English Yu-Gi-Oh! collector universe, but the exact object is MRD-003, not every Summoned Skull card. PSA's CardFacts page for the 1st Edition MRD-003 category supplies observed graded sales and PSA population counts for that specific graded category. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factBegin with the printed set code MRD-003, then check for 1st Edition text below the artwork on this pre-2014 card. The seed label said Secret Rare, but Konami and PSA identify MRD-003 as Ultra Rare. Keep North American MRD-003 separate from later MRD-EN003 25th Anniversary copies and from other Summoned Skull releases such as BPT-002, SDY-004, DB1-EN142, or Quarter Century Bonanza treatments. [1][3][4]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisPSA's 1st Edition MRD-003 CardFacts table shows recent PSA 10, PSA 9, and PSA 8 auction records, with grade driving large differences inside the same exact variant. Edition remains a separate filter: a 1st Edition PSA 9 sale should not be merged with Unlimited MRD-003 or later MRD-EN003 reprints. Raw copies need their own condition evidence and should not be valued by simply applying slab prices. [2]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For MRD-003, verify the exact code, Ultra Rare treatment, edition text, language/region, card back, and photo consistency before comparing price. For slabs, match the PSA cert to the label and available images, but inspect the holder and card because the certification number alone does not authenticate the physical item. [1][4][5]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| 1st Edition Ultra Rare | Printed set code MRD-003, Ultra Rare treatment, and 1st Edition text below the artwork; expected First Edition security foil is gold. |
| Unlimited Ultra Rare | Printed set code MRD-003 and Ultra Rare treatment, with no 1st Edition text; expected Unlimited security foil is silver. |
