The First Chapter: Captain Hook – Thinking a Happy Thought (175/204)

Steel Floodborn Rare — Challenger +3 with stolen dust

Sanitized PSA 10 slab of Captain Hook – Thinking a Happy Thought (175/204); certification number and barcodes redacted
PSA Gem Mint 10 · The First Chapter retail 175/204 · identifiers redacted for publish

Not the D23 Forceful Duelist. Not the Jolly Roger captain either. This Hook is Thinking a Happy Thought: Floodborn Villain Pirate Captain, Steel Rare 175/204, Elliot Bocxtaele. Shift 3, Challenger +3, and STOLEN DUST — characters with cost 3 or less can’t challenge him. Happy thoughts, weaponized.

He entered collections the ordinary way: The First Chapter packs. English retail. No Expo logo, no “1st” seal as a requirement. If your Hook has D23 stamps, you have wandered into Forceful Duelist’s weekend, not this drawer.
