King Cold, the All Powerful

King Cold is the father of Frieza and Cooler in Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball universe, introduced in the later Frieza/Android-era lore as the ruler of the Cold Force. He represents one of the most recognizable tyrannical alien villains in the franchise, and in Dragon Ball Z CCG/Score-era cards he is often portrayed as a high-level authority figure with powerful synergy-driven abilities. This card reflects his role as a climactic villain associated with the Trunks Saga era and the franchise's broader emphasis on lineage, imperial power, and galactic conquest.

First released in 2001 as part of the Score Dragon Ball Z CCG set Trunks Saga in English-language distribution. The card appears as #4 of 9 in the non-foil/common print line referenced by collectors, with matching alternate/foil versions and related premium printings appearing in the same set framework.

• This is a Trunks Saga-era Dragon Ball Z CCG card from the Score game line, not a modern Dragon Ball Super card.
• Collector databases show this character exists in multiple finishes/versions within the same set framework, including foil and unlimited foil variants for adjacent catalog references.
• King Cold cards from the Trunks Saga are often sought by character collectors, completionists, and players nostalgic for early 2000s DBZ CCG gameplay.

Condition. Check for edge wear, corner whitening, surface scratching, print lines, and centering issues. Early 2000s CCG cards commonly show back scuffing, minor roller marks, and holo/foil chipping on premium versions. For non-foil commons, sharp corners and clean borders matter most; for foil or parallel versions, scratches and binder wear are the biggest value killers.

Storage. Store in penny sleeve plus rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, keep away from humidity and direct light, and avoid binder rings for long-term preservation. If graded copies are being pursued, handle by edges only and use fresh sleeves to prevent surface abrasions.

Authenticity. Authentic copies should match the original Score-era card stock, fonts, and border layout for Trunks Saga. Watch for off-color printing, incorrect gloss, unusually thin or thick stock, and blurred text. Reprints are uncommon for this exact early DBZ CCG line, but altered or custom-made copies can circulate online; compare against known scans and trusted database images.
