The First Chapter: Mickey Mouse – True Friend (12/204)

Amber Uncommon welcome wagon — warm lore, no rules paragraph

Sanitized PSA 10 slab of Mickey Mouse – True Friend (12/204); certification number and barcodes redacted
PSA Gem Mint 10 · The First Chapter retail 12/204 · identifiers redacted for publish

Three cost. Amber Uncommon 12/204. Dave Beauchene. Storyborn Hero. 3/3/2, no ability text, flavor promising warm welcomes at the Great Illuminary. Two PSA 10 carousel faces.

Another Mickey, another ink. True Friend is the Amber handshake — not the Ruby tailor, not the Steel musketeer, not the Amethyst sorcerer.

How it got into collections

Retail The First Chapter English product — not a convention stamp card:

  • Available in The First Chapter packs / sealed product after August 18, 2023 (LGS / organized launch), with broader retail following September 1, 2023
  • Rarity within the 204-card English main set: Uncommon (12/204)
  • Non-foil and cold foil finishes exist for main-set cards; foil alone does not equal Enchanted or Expo
  • Provenance is pack history, carefully kept

Archive note: 2 PSA 10 First Chapter slabs appear in the collection carousel under this title. Hero photograph uses a sanitized PSA Gem Mint 10 slab front (identifiers redacted). Never publish cert numbers or barcodes.
