The Euro shields have (are) always been an exclusive part of the BB line amongst collectors worldwide because the ´common´ Shield Battler 6 shields are relatively easy to obtain and to add to the collection but when were talking about the Euro shields we enter another level of rarity, which also holds another pricetag. 

 

BUT before there´s anything to say about the current value of those shields its important to notice the influence the reproduction shields have had on it over the past months because where the normal original shields have dropped in value from $100+ each to around $40 due to the reproduction shields being only a fraction of it this also goes for the Euro shields for which in the past prices in excess to $500 each have been paid in certain situations. So before this reproduction effect had hit I´d say the Euro shields had a value of around $250-$350 each but today they´re quite a bit less because there´s not a lot of collectors that really care about genuinity when it comes to their wallets knowing they can get one that looks almost identical for just $10..... Resulting in the fact that the Euro shields today are almost in the range of the normal shields in the past meaning around $120-$200.

 

Personally I´ve taken advantage of the (temporary?) effect these reproductions have had on the market value because due to this drop in prices I managed to get a complete Euro shields collection myself whereas the prices where just way to high before especially considering the fact I don´t really like the shields.

 

I would be very surprised to see a Euro shield (just the shield alone) hitting $300 or close to that on Ebay these days but for those who do care about the original items there´s nothing strange about that price because they´ve only been available in a very limited amount of countries in the EU and there´re not a lot of them around.
