# Yata-Garasu LOD-000 (Legacy of Darkness): price, verified sales and population

> Yata-Garasu is the LOD-000 Secret Rare from English Legacy of Darkness. Collectors search for it because it combines early Secret Rare status with a well-known competitive history, but sales must stay separated by edition and grade.

## Key facts

- CardVolume lists 1 verified sale of the Yata-Garasu LOD-000 (Legacy of Darkness) as of November 10, 2026.
- No grade has the 5 verified sales in 90 days needed for a market price; the most recent verified sale was $1,650 for an English LOD-000 1st Edition Secret Rare PSA 10 on May 18, 2026 at Fanatics Collect.
- The highest verified sale on record is $1,650 for an English LOD-000 1st Edition Secret Rare PSA 10 on May 18, 2026 at Fanatics Collect.

## Market price by version and grade

Market price = median of at least 5 verified sales in the last 90 days for that exact version, grader and grade. "—" means not enough verified sales.

## How to identify each version

- **English LOD-000 1st Edition Secret Rare**: Look for LOD-000, Secret Rare finish, the 1st Edition stamp, and gold security foil.
- **English LOD-000 Unlimited Secret Rare**: Look for LOD-000 and Secret Rare finish with no 1st Edition stamp; Unlimited cards use a silver security foil.

**Identity note:** The seed identity is correct for original English LOD-000 Secret Rare. Later Yata-Garasu cards such as BLCR-EN098 and MAMA-EN046 are separate versions.

## Why this card matters

Konami lists Yata-Garasu as a WIND Fiend Spirit/Effect Monster and records LOD-000 in Legacy of Darkness as a Secret Rare released June 6, 2003. Its text includes the draw-phase skipping effect that made the card historically notable in gameplay discussions. For CardVolume, that gameplay fame explains search interest but does not replace sale evidence. The object indexed here is the original English LOD-000 Secret Rare, not later Starlight Rare, Ultra Rare, or Common reprints with the same card name.

## Identifying the exact version

Confirm LOD-000, English language, Secret Rare finish, and edition. A 1st Edition copy should show a 1st Edition stamp and gold security foil, while an Unlimited copy should lack that stamp and use silver security foil under Konami's guide. Konami's database also lists later Yata-Garasu versions such as BLCR-EN098 Starlight Rare and MAMA-EN046 Ultra Rare, which are not substitutes for original LOD-000 in a price record. A slab or auction title should identify Legacy of Darkness, card number 000, and 1st Edition if claimed.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The opened Fanatics Collect page documents a PSA 10 1st Edition Secret Rare Yata-Garasu sale-history row at $1,650 on May 18, 2026. An older opened PSA Auction Prices Realized item shows a PSA 10 1st Edition eBay Best Offer at $510 in August 2018. Those two observations show that date and venue matter, but they are not enough to value every condition. Raw, Unlimited, PSA 9, CGC, BGS, foil-bleed, and later reprint copies need their own opened-sale evidence.

## Authenticity checks

Compare against official references; use multiple checks; do not use destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Yata-Garasu, verify LOD-000, Secret Rare finish, edition stamp, security foil color, monster frame, font, back, and condition. Because later cards share the same name, set code is central. For graded sales, compare the cert and any available images against the seller photos. A cert lookup or foil feature is only one screen; high-value copies need physical inspection or a reputable authentication path when uncertainty remains.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** Yata-Garasu's gameplay reputation is enough to set a price. **What the evidence says:** ch03 requires dated sold comps for the exact object; reputation explains demand but is not a transaction.
- **Myth:** BLCR or MAMA Yata-Garasu sales can price LOD-000. **What the evidence says:** Konami lists those as separate set codes and rarities; ch08 requires keeping same-name reprints separate.
- **Myth:** A low population number means the card must rise. **What the evidence says:** ch10 rejects low-population price guarantees; demand, availability, and actual sales still need evidence.
