About this card
Paras 3/189 is card 3 in Darkness Ablaze (189 numbered cards, plus 12 secret rares). It's one of 53 Common cards in the set — 26% of 201. There are 18 English cards named “Paras”. This is the 14th; the first was in Jungle (1999). It has 60 HP. Atsuko Nishida illustrated this card only in Darkness Ablaze and 409 English cards in total.
It isn't legal in the 2026–27 Standard format, so demand comes mainly from collectors.
Is Paras 3/189 worth anything?
Copies of this card currently trade at around €0.04 on Cardmarket, assuming near-mint condition. The price you'll get in the UK depends mostly on condition: check the corners, edges and surface, and whether the artwork is well centred. Damaged cards sell for much less, while professionally graded copies in top condition can sell for far more.
To be sure you have the right card, match the set symbol and the number 3/189 printed at the bottom of your card. There are 19 different Paras cards, so the number matters. Then compare completed eBay UK listings — sold prices, not asking prices — for copies in similar condition.
