Every Blue-Eyes White Dragon Card and What It's Worth (2026)

Updated: October 31, 2026

Blue-Eyes White Dragon has been printed in English more than 80 times since 2002, and a copy can be worth 11 cents or $72,000. This guide covers Blue-Eyes White Dragon card value printing by printing: which set codes matter, how rarity and grade change the price, and how to tell which one you're holding. Every price is a recent sale or a TCGplayer Market Price, labeled with its source and date.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon prices at a glance

Graded rows: Card Ladder, PSA sales from July 31 to October 31, 2026. All other rows: TCGplayer sales of raw (ungraded) Near Mint English copies, August 3 to October 29, 2026, read October 31, 2026. "Sales" counts orders in that window.

How we priced these cards (methodology): for each English printing we read TCGplayer's sales history once, filtered to Near Mint English copies, and noted the TCGplayer Market Price, the number of sales and the lowest and highest sale between August 3 and October 29, 2026. Graded prices come from Card Ladder's record of PSA sales over the three months to October 31, 2026. Set codes and release dates come from Konami's official card database.

How many Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards are there?

More than 80 English printings. Konami's official database lists every one, from LOB-001 on March 8, 2002 to two copies in the Demo Progression Set 2026 on September 3, 2026 (Konami). They all share the same card: a LIGHT Level 8 Dragon Normal Monster with 3000 ATK and 2500 DEF.

What changes is the set code, the rarity, the edition and sometimes the artwork: TCGplayer lists the Quarter Century Stampede versions as "New Art", "7th Art" and "8th Art". The price follows those details, not the name.

LOB-001: the original Blue-Eyes White Dragon

LOB-001 is the first Blue-Eyes in English, from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon, released March 8, 2002. It's an Ultra Rare, and it comes in 1st Edition ("1st Edition" printed below the artwork) and Unlimited (no 1st Edition text). The 1st Edition is the collector's card, and condition decides almost everything:

Card Ladder, sales from July 31 to October 31, 2026, read October 31, 2026. Population counts are the number of copies PSA has graded at that grade, as shown on each Card Ladder page.

The jump from PSA 9 to PSA 10 is about eight times the price for one grade step. That's why so few people crack a high-grade LOB-001 out of its slab, and why raw 1st Edition copies in true Near Mint are rare in the open market: none sold on TCGplayer between August 3 and October 29, 2026.

The Unlimited LOB-001 is far more common. Near Mint copies had a TCGplayer Market Price of $124.59, with 11 sales from $108.95 to $139.28 (TCGplayer).

Don't confuse it with LOB-EN001. Konami reprinted Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon as part of the Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition (April 21, 2023), and that Blue-Eyes is numbered LOB-EN001 (Konami). Near Mint copies sold for $34.96–$49.97, with a Market Price of $40.13 (TCGplayer). The "EN" in the code is the quick way to tell them apart.

The 10 most valuable raw Blue-Eyes printings

This countdown ranks raw English printings by TCGplayer Market Price for Near Mint copies on October 31, 2026, counting only printings with at least two sales between August 3 and October 29, 2026. That rule keeps out cards whose "price" rests on a single sale or none.

#10 LOB-001, Unlimited (2002)

Market Price: $124.59 on TCGplayer (raw, Near Mint, English) as of October 31, 2026; 11 sales, $108.95–$139.28 (TCGplayer). The original card without the 1st Edition text.

#9 JUMP-EN068, Shonen Jump membership promo (2014)

Market Price: $136.12; 16 sales, $119.99–$170 (TCGplayer). An Ultra Rare promo for Shonen Jump members, dated March 2014 in Konami's database.

#8 YAP1-EN001, Anniversary Pack (2008)

Market Price: $152.55; 10 sales, $117–$177.74 (TCGplayer). An Ultra Rare from the pack Konami released on December 8, 2008.

#7 25YC-ENP01, Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series 2025 prize card

Market Price: $162.66; only two sales, both at about $135 ($134.99 and $135) (TCGplayer). The Market Price sits above both recent sales, so treat it with care. A separate World Championship Qualifier version sold once, for $700 on October 1, 2026 (TCGplayer).

#6 BLMM-EN001, Starlight Rare (2025)

Market Price: $164.45 (1st Edition); 9 sales, $111.23–$167.52 (TCGplayer). The Starlight Rare from Battles of Legend: Monster Mayhem (June 13, 2025). The same set's Secret Rare sold 122 times for $9–$29.99 (TCGplayer), which shows how much the rarity alone moves the price.

#5 OP28-EN001, Ultimate Rare (2025)

Market Price: $170.28; 53 sales, $113.98–$217.98 (TCGplayer). An Ultimate Rare, with embossed (raised) art and Level stars, from OTS Tournament Pack 28, which Official Tournament Stores handed out from June 18, 2025. It's the most-traded card in this top ten.

#4 RA03-EN079, Quarter Century Secret Rare (2024)

Market Price: $222.04 (1st Edition); 6 sales, $220–$240 (TCGplayer). From Quarter Century Bonanza (November 7, 2024).

#3 KC01-EN000, Quarter Century Secret Rare (2024)

Market Price: $292.56; 4 sales, all about $292.50 (TCGplayer). From the 25th Anniversary Ultimate Kaiba Set (March 1, 2024).

#2 GFP2-EN175, Ghost Rare (2022)

Market Price: $325.63 (1st Edition); 21 sales, $276–$343.37 (TCGplayer). The Ghost Rare from Ghosts From the Past: The 2nd Haunting (May 6, 2022). Ghost Rares have a silvery name and pale, 3D-looking holographic art, and Blue-Eyes is one of the best-known cards printed in the finish.

#1 MAMA-EN104, Secret Pharaoh's Rare (2022)

Market Price: $465.01 (1st Edition); 4 sales, $390.47–$600, the last on September 9, 2026 (TCGplayer). Magnificent Mavens (November 4, 2022) printed this Blue-Eyes in two Pharaoh's Rare finishes. The Ultra Pharaoh's Rare version had no Near Mint sale in the window; its four listings started at $549.99 (TCGplayer).

With only four sales behind it, the #1 price can swing on one new sale; the Ghost Rare at #2 has 21.

Rare Blue-Eyes cards that almost never trade

A few printings missed the countdown because they hardly sell, not because they're cheap:

• DDS-001, the Dark Duel Stories video game promo (March 19, 2002): no Near Mint sale on TCGplayer between August and October 2026; 13 listings started at $350 in any condition (TCGplayer).
• JMPS-EN002, a 2016 Shonen Jump promo: one sale, $300 on October 10, 2026 (TCGplayer).
• The World Championship Qualifier 25YC-ENP01: one sale at $700, mentioned above.

For cards like these, check completed sales over several months, not one listing.

Blue-Eyes from starter decks, tins and promos (2002–2004)

The first wave of Blue-Eyes reprints came fast, and some of them now sell for more than you might expect:

TCGplayer, raw Near Mint English copies, sales August 3 to October 29, 2026, read October 31, 2026. Release dates from Konami's database. Konami lists the 2002 Shonen Jump promo as JMP-EN001; TCGplayer lists it as JMP-001.

The SDK-001 range is wide, from $9 to $120. TCGplayer's data doesn't say why, but a spread like that often means the copies weren't all in the same real condition, so check the photos closely on any early Kaiba deck copy.

The cheapest Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards

If you just want a Blue-Eyes in your binder or your deck, modern reprints cost very little:

• SDWD-EN001 (Structure Deck: Blue-Eyes White Destiny, February 14, 2025): Common, 1st Edition, $0.11–$0.74 across 26 sales (TCGplayer).
• SDBE-EN001 (Saga of Blue-Eyes White Dragon Structure Deck, September 13, 2013): Ultra Rare, Unlimited, $0.35–$1.29 across 35 sales (TCGplayer).
• LC01-EN004 (Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition, 2023): Ultra Rare, $0.15–$1.59; its Quarter Century Secret Rare, $7–$37 (TCGplayer, QCSR).
• RA05-EN085 (Rarity Collection 5, April 10, 2026): Ultra Rare, $1.36–$6.99 across 423 sales; the Starlight Rare, $17.50–$31.19 across 155 sales (TCGplayer, Starlight).

The Quarter Century Stampede versions (April 11, 2025) sit in the middle: the New Art Quarter Century Secret Rare RA04-EN002 sold for $45.14–$60.78 (TCGplayer), and the RA04-EN108 "7th Art" and "8th Art" versions for $29.38–$34.99 and $33.98–$49.99 (7th Art, 8th Art). The 25th Anniversary Tin: Dueling Mirrors QCSR, MP24-EN001, sold 118 times for $20–$69.94 (TCGplayer).

What about Japanese Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards?

Japanese cards are a separate market. The original Japanese Blue-Eyes, LB-01 from the first Japanese Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon, sold six times in PSA 10 between July 31 and October 31, 2026, for $2,790 to $4,250, the last on October 10 (Card Ladder). PSA has graded 273 copies at 10, more than the 106 English 1st Edition LOB-001 copies at the same grade, which may help explain why the English card costs so much more.

Compare English with English and Japanese with Japanese.

How to tell which Blue-Eyes White Dragon you have

1. Read the set code printed under the artwork on the right, such as LOB-001, SDK-001 or GFP2-EN175. It tells you the set and, for newer cards, the language.
2. Check the edition. Look for the "1st Edition" text below the artwork. For LOB-001 it's the difference between hundreds and thousands of dollars.
3. Identify the rarity from the foil: gold name for Ultra Rare, rainbow name for Secret Rare, an embossed art and Level stars for Ultimate Rare, pale 3D-looking art for Ghost Rare, lattice foil across the whole card for Starlight Rare. Our guide to Yu-Gi-Oh! card rarities walks through each one.
4. Judge the condition honestly. Whitening on the back edges, scratches on the foil and soft corners all pull a raw card below Near Mint. Our guide on how to pre-grade cards at home shows what graders look at.
5. Look up completed sales for that exact version, not asking prices, and match the condition or grade you have.

High-value Blue-Eyes cards are a target for fakes, especially LOB-001 and graded copies. Before buying one online, read our guide on how to spot fake PSA slabs and check the cert number on PSA's site.

Which Blue-Eyes White Dragon should you get?

It depends on what you want it for.

• You want one to play or to finish a binder page. A structure deck copy costs under a dollar, and the RA05-EN085 Ultra Rare gives you a foil for a few dollars.
• You want a modern showpiece. The RA05-EN085 Starlight Rare ($17.50–$31.19) and the MP24-EN001 Quarter Century Secret Rare ($20–$69.94) trade often, so their prices are easy to check.
• You want a premium modern foil. The GFP2-EN175 Ghost Rare traded 21 times in three months, which makes its price more reliable than the thinner-traded Pharaoh's Rares.
• You want the original. An Unlimited LOB-001 in Near Mint sold for $108.95–$139.28. A 1st Edition copy is a different level of purchase; buy graded, from a seller with a clear return policy.

Grading only makes sense for copies in very good shape. Our comparison of PSA, CGC, TAG and BGS covers fees and which graders take Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.
