A must-have land card in competitive Eternal formats across the board, this card doesn't appear to do much at first, but as a land card that taps for two colors and enters the battlefield untapped with no stipulation, this card is remarkably powerful in the formats where it's legal. As such, dual lands of this variety fetch a very high price on the secondary market, also partly due to the fact that Wizards of the Coast has promised that they will never reprint them. Furthermore according to the item's auction listing on Heritage Auctions' website:

The card offered here is from the Unlimited Edition, Volcanic Island. This is one of the highly sought-after dual land cards, which can be played as an Island or Mountain land. CGC has graded the card with the following sub-grades: centering (9), surface (5.5), corners (6.5), and edges (6). The artwork is done by Brian Snoddy. CGC has certified 1 copies earning Ex/NM 6 grade and 18 graded higher.
