The 'Top Ten' Rarest MECCG cards
Post by Lake Town Geezer » Tue Jan 16, 2018 9:09 am
As a bit of fun, I thought it would be good at the start of 2018 to start a up-dated thread on the rarest MECCG cards for collectors (like me). Many years ago the rarest card was discussed (Jap Fury), but what are these cards worth now...
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Here are my thoughts on my top 10 (based on the web sites selling cards - especially the awesome Mathom Cards - and the my perceived 'desirability') in reverse order:
#10: The Itlil Stone - English - AtS - Eu 20 (close also are several rare French Promos)
#9: Farmer Maggot - English - AtS - Eu 45
#8: Longbottom Leaf - English - The Balrog - Eu 50
#7: Test of Form (with) - Dutch - Promo - Eu 60
#6: Assassin - Japanese - The Wizards (limited) - Eu 75
#5: Test of Form (without) - Dutch - Promo - Eu 80 (I personally think of this as a miss-print, so maybe not a bonafide card)
#4: The One Ring - Japanese - The Wizards (limited) - Eu 200 (this is where the prices get silly!)
#3: Black Arrow - Japanese - Promo - Eu 250 (!)
#2: Fatty Bolger- Dutch - Promo - Eu 300 (!!)
#1: Fury of the Iron Crown - Japanese - Eu 600+ (!!!!!!!, yes it is maybe still the rarest altough I suspect Dutch Fatty is about the ame in terms of numbers out there).
What do others think?
I am mad enough to pay these prices - what about other people?
The top 4 are impossible to find now I think. I am lucky enough to have 7 of these 10, but may never get the others.
