Weiß Schwarz - Since That Day (AOT/S35-E028 CR) - Attack on Titan

This is a landscape-oriented Climax Rarity (CR) trading card from the Weiß Schwarz card game, specifically from the Attack on Titan (AOT) Vol. 1 English Edition set released by Bushiroad around 2015. The card is titled 'Since That Day' and features an illustration of the series' main protagonists—Armin, Eren, and Mikasa—as children. The art is set against a vibrant green background with a glow effect. The card displays two soul icons in the upper left corner and includes a text box with a quote from Armin about humanity. The bottom section contains the gameplay mechanics (AUTO ability) and the card identifier 'AOT/S35-E028 CR'. The condition appears to be relatively good with clean edges and corners visible in the frame, though some minor surface wear may exist given its age. It is printed on standard cardstock with a glossy finish typical of the 'Climax' rarity tier in this TCG. The copyright information at the bottom confirms its official licensing from Hajime Isayama, Kodansha, and the 'ATTACK ON TITAN' Production Committee.

I have examined the digital representation of the Weiß Schwarz 'Since That Day' Climax Rarity (CR) card from the Attack on Titan Vol. 1 English expansion. Based on a visual inspection of the card's centering, edges, and surface composition, the item appears to be in Near Mint condition. The gloss layering and typography are consistent with Bushiroad’s 2015 manufacturing standards. The rarity of this specific card is 'CR' (Climax Rarity), which, while visually distinct, is a standard inclusion in most booster packs, appearing at a relatively high frequency compared to Super Rare (SR) or Special Rare (SP) signed variants. Current market conditions for early English Attack on Titan sets show a consistent but low-value demand for non-foil Climax cards. While the artwork featuring the core trio (Eren, Mikasa, Armin) holds sentimental value for fans of the franchise, the card’s utility in the competitive meta has diminished over time due to power creep in newer sets. Comparable sales on secondary TCG markets typically range between $1 and $4 depending on the buyer's shipping preferences. It is important to note that this appraisal is based solely on digital images. Without an in-person examination, I cannot verify the card's surface texture, weight, or the 'light test' results used to detect high-quality proxies. A physical inspection using a jeweler’s loupe to verify the rosette printing pattern and an examination of the card's core layer would be required for absolute authentication. For a card of this market value, official third-party grading (such as PSA or BGS) is generally not recommended as the grading fees would far exceed the market value of the asset.
