Keep this separate from English Red-Eyes printings, Japanese DL2-050, starter-deck versions and other Red-Eyes variants. ## Why this card matters [verified] Konami’s OCG list for 新たなる支配者 / The New Ruler gives the set date as 2002-05-16 and lists 301-056 Red-Eyes Black Dragon as Ultimate Rare. The entry records DARK attribute, Level 7, Dragon type, 2400 ATK and 2000 DEF. This card should be analyzed as a specific Japanese Ultimate Rare issue, not as a generic Red-Eyes Black Dragon collectible. ## Identifying the exact version [verified] Confirm the printed code 301-056, Japanese name レッドアイズ・ブラックドラゴン / 真紅眼の黒竜, Ultimate Rare treatment and The New Ruler set. The same character appears in many products, and the OCG list also shows later and different Japanese Red-Eyes entries elsewhere. A valid comp must match the Japanese 301-056 Ultimate Rare identity, not just the English name Red-Eyes Black Dragon. ## What moves the price between versions and grades [analysis] The primary pricing drivers are raw condition, visible Ultimate Rare surface quality, centering, grader and grade. Aggregator pages surfaced during research, but no acceptable opened auction lot, PSA sale page or eBay sold page with exact price and date was retained for this card. Under Chapter 03, the correct action is to leave the sales array empty instead of importing unsourced or aggregated numbers. ## Authenticity checks [verified] Compare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For 301-056, match the set code, Japanese text, Ultimate Rare embossing, stats, passcode and card back against official and known-authentic examples. Because surface texture and foil are central to this version, require clear angled photos, but avoid bending, scratching, light-box myths or other destructive tests. ## Common misconceptions - **Myth:** Any Red-Eyes Black Dragon sale can value 301-056. **What the evidence says:** The evidence supports only exact set-code comparisons; ch08 requires separating printings, language and rarity. - **Myth:** Price-guide values can replace opened sale records. **What the evidence says:** Ch03 requires opened sale pages with price and date; unsupported aggregator values should not be entered as sales. - **Myth:** Low graded population would prove low print run. **What the evidence says:** Ch02 says population is graded-copy count only and cannot be used as print-run proof. ## FAQ ### What set is Red-Eyes Black Dragon 301-056 from?
