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. ## Identifying the exact version Use 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. ## What moves the price between versions and grades The 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. ## Authenticity checks Compare 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. ## Common misconceptions - **Myth:** Every RA01-EN008 Ash Blossom has the same value. **What the evidence says:** Konami lists RA01-EN008 in multiple rarities; the evidence supports separating each finish before pricing. - **Myth:** A playable staple's cheapest copy is a comp for the Quarter Century Secret Rare. **What the evidence says:** Chapter 08 separates player demand from collector treatment demand; functional substitutes and premium variants are different markets. - **Myth:** A PSA 10 guide value means raw copies should be priced like PSA 10s. **What the evidence says:** Chapter 04 requires condition inspection and grading-risk math before converting raw cards into graded assumptions. ## FAQ ### How much is raw RA01-EN008 Ash Blossom Quarter Century Secret Rare worth? The opened PriceCharting page records recent Near Mint TCGplayer sales including $46.90 on August 29, 2026 and $63.43 on August 27, 2026, source 3. ### How do I know it is the Quarter Century Secret Rare and not another RA01 rarity? Confirm the Quarter Century Secret Rare treatment and do not rely on the shared card number alone because RA01-EN008 appears in several rarities, source 1. ### How many PSA 10 copies exist? Not established from the opened sources for this exact RA01-EN008 Quarter Century Secret Rare variant. ### Is Ash Blossom from RA01 the first Ash Blossom printing? No; Konami lists earlier Ash Blossom printings before RA01, including MACR-EN036 in 2017, source 1. ### Can I use an Ultra Rare RA01 sale as a comp? No; the Ultra Rare and Quarter Century Secret Rare are separate finishes and should not be merged, sources 1 and 3. ## Sources 1.
