Enter a grading cost to calculate.

Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.

About Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring

Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is a widely recognized competitive hand trap printed in 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection as RA01-EN008. Collectors search this version because the same card appears in many rarities, and the Quarter Century Secret Rare is a distinct premium treatment.

Why this card matters

Verified factKonami's database lists Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring as RA01-EN008 in 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection across several rarities, including Quarter Century Secret Rare. Its collector search problem is not just the card name; it is the exact finish. The same functional card exists in many cheaper printings, while the RA01 Quarter Century Secret Rare version is a specific collectible treatment from an all-foil anniversary product. That makes version control central to any price, population, or authenticity discussion. [1][2]

Identifying the exact version

Verified factUse RA01-EN008, English language, and the Quarter Century Secret Rare finish as the identity. Do not merge Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Secret Rare, Ultimate Rare, Platinum Secret Rare, Collector's Rare, or Quarter Century Secret Rare sales even though Konami lists them under the same card number in RA01. A raw sale title should be checked for QCSR wording before use. Graded copies need the grader, grade, cert, and label wording because some price pages group several nearby rarities under similar names. [1][3]

What moves the price between versions and grades

AnalysisThe primary driver is the combination of card utility, anniversary rarity treatment, and condition. PriceCharting's opened page shows recent raw Near Mint TCGplayer observations in the tens of dollars and a much higher calculated PSA 10 guide value, but those are not interchangeable. Chapter 03 requires sold comps by exact version, and Chapter 04 cautions that raw-to-PSA-10 assumptions need inspection, costs, and downside outcomes. A cheaper Ash Blossom printing may satisfy a player while not replacing this collectible finish. [3]

Authenticity checks

AnalysisCompare the card against Konami's RA01 database entry and a known authentic Quarter Century Secret Rare example. Check the set code, card name, text, foil pattern, 25th anniversary finish, corners, edges, and back design under good light. Use multiple checks rather than one shortcut, and avoid destructive tests. For slabs, confirm the cert against the grader's database and compare the photographed card and holder; a valid number alone does not prove the physical slab is genuine because copied cert numbers exist. [1][4]

Identity note: The official database lists RA01-EN008 in multiple rarities; this record is only for the Quarter Century Secret Rare variant.
Why collectors look this card up: Misprint ranks the RA01 QCSR as a most-graded modern Yu-Gi-Oh staple. source 1

What people get wrong about this card

Every RA01-EN008 Ash Blossom has the same value.
Konami lists RA01-EN008 in multiple rarities; the evidence supports separating each finish before pricing.
A playable staple's cheapest copy is a comp for the Quarter Century Secret Rare.
Chapter 08 separates player demand from collector treatment demand; functional substitutes and premium variants are different markets.
A PSA 10 guide value means raw copies should be priced like PSA 10s.
Chapter 04 requires condition inspection and grading-risk math before converting raw cards into graded assumptions.
