Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
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 Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Blue-Eyes White Dragon LOB-001 is the first North American English booster-set version of Kaiba's signature monster in Yu-Gi-Oh! collectors' memory. Search demand concentrates on the 1st Edition Ultra Rare and on exact-grade slabs because many later Blue-Eyes cards share the same character name.
Why this card matters
Verified factLegend of Blue Eyes White Dragon is identified by PSA as the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game set, released in North America on March 8, 2002, with Blue-Eyes White Dragon among its iconic cards. The card's collector importance comes from exact issue status, early TCG nostalgia, Ultra Rare treatment, and the distinction between 1st Edition and Unlimited. Later reprints can be legitimate cards, but they are separate collectible objects, not substitutes for the original LOB-001 1st Edition version. [1][2][3]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factRecord the card as Blue-Eyes White Dragon, LOB-001, English North American TCG, Ultra Rare, then separate 1st Edition from Unlimited. Konami's beginner guide states First Edition and Limited Edition security foils are gold while Unlimited Edition security foils are silver. For this card, also keep LOB-001 separate from LOB-EN001, LOB-E001, SDK-001, Asian English, 25th Anniversary, and other Blue-Eyes releases. A slab label should match the set, number, variety, grade, and cert record. [1][4][5]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisComparable sales show large spreads by grade and exact variety. PSA CardFacts displayed a PSA 10 1st Edition population of 106 and recent PSA 9 APR entries in the four-figure range when accessed on 2026-09-26; Heritage separately reported a PSA 10 sale in 2022. That does not establish a price for Unlimited, raw, or reprint copies. Use sold comps only, exclude wrong language or set codes, and do not treat PSA population as print run. [3][6]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Yu-Gi-Oh!, confirm set code, edition stamp, security foil color, foil pattern, text layout, card back, size, and known authentic examples. PSA cert lookup can confirm that a cert number exists and matches a label entry, but PSA warns copied cert numbers can appear on counterfeit holders or labels. The physical card and slab still need visual inspection against trusted references. [4][5]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| 1st Edition LOB-001 | Look for the 1st Edition stamp below the artwork area and a gold Eye of Anubis security foil on the lower right. |
| Unlimited LOB-001 | No 1st Edition stamp; Unlimited Yu-Gi-Oh! cards use a silver Eye of Anubis security foil. |
