Yu-Gi-Oh Metal Shooter YDB1-EN002 Super Rare GX Card Almanac DS Promo LP Vintage

Yu-Gi-Oh! Metal Shooter (YDB1-EN002) – Super Rare – Nintendo DS GX Card Almanac Promo

Up for auction/purchase is an exceptionally rare piece of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG history: Metal Shooter (YDB1-EN002) in its highly coveted English-language printing. This card was never distributed via standard Western booster packs; instead, it was exclusively issued as a limited luxury insertion bundle with the Japanese-exclusive release of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Card Almanac software utility for the Nintendo DS in 2007.

Because of this highly localized, non-traditional distribution method, English YDB1 set code cards remain among the single scarcer promotional printings of the entire GX era, serving as a true “grail” anchor piece for completionist promo variant collectors and high-end Konami enthusiasts.

Condition Profile & Grading Analysis (Lightly Played – LP):

• Overall Assessment: This card is offered strictly in verified Lightly Played (LP) condition. It has been meticulously preserved outside of active gameplay but displays minor, characteristic age-related shelf wear that prevents a pristine Gem Mint designation.

• Detailed Wear Breakdown: As comprehensively documented under macro studio lighting in the gallery layout of image_2c773f.jpg , the holofoil face and text boxes present beautifully with exceptional gloss and minimal surface friction. The reverse side features very light, standard edge whitening and micro corner chipping/chipping paths along the upper borders—typical of the factory-sealed plastic wrap nesting used in the original DS software packaging. The card is completely free from heavy vertical creases, structural bends, water wrinkling, ink inkings, or center pressure dimples.
