## How to identify each version

- **English LOB-123 1st Edition Ultra Rare**: Look for LOB-123, Ultra Rare treatment, the 1st Edition stamp, and the gold security foil used on First Edition cards.
- **English LOB-123 Unlimited Ultra Rare**: Look for LOB-123 and Ultra Rare treatment with no 1st Edition stamp; Konami's guide says Unlimited cards use a silver security foil.

**Identity note:** The seed identity is correct for the original English LOB-123 Ultra Rare. Later LOB-EN123 copies from LC01 are separate reprints and are not merged.

## Why this card matters

Left Arm of the Forbidden One matters because it is part of the original Exodia win-condition group and appears in the official Konami database as LOB-123 from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon, released March 8, 2002. The card is searched as both a single and as one part of a complete Exodia group, but this record treats LOB-123 as its own object. Later entries such as LOB-EN123 from the 25th Anniversary Edition are documented separately by Konami and should not be used as comps for the original LOB-123 printing.

## Identifying the exact version

For the original English card, confirm the card name, LOB-123 set code, Ultra Rare rarity, English language, and edition stamp. A 1st Edition copy should show the 1st Edition text and a gold security foil, while an Unlimited copy lacks that stamp and uses a silver security foil under Konami's general identification guidance. The 2023 LC01 version uses LOB-EN123 and is a separate reprint, even though the name and artwork are related. Graded slabs should also match the cert, card number, and variety on the grader's page.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The largest documented price differences in the records opened here come from edition and grade. PSA's cert page for a PSA 10 1st Edition LOB-123 shows several 2026 PSA 10 sales of similar items, including eBay fixed-price, best-offer, and auction results. Those rows should not be transferred to Unlimited, raw, lower-grade, or LOB-EN123 reprint copies. For pricing work, CardVolume should keep PSA 10, PSA 9, raw near mint, and damaged raw copies in separate comp groups and exclude listings where the title or cert does not prove the exact printing.

## Authenticity checks

Compare the card against official references; use multiple checks; avoid destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. Start with the exact printed identifiers: LOB-123, English language, Ultra Rare finish, edition stamp, and security foil color. Then inspect surface, edges, back, centering, font, foil pattern, and whether the slab certification page matches the physical holder and card. Konami's security foil guidance is useful but not complete authentication. PSA also warns generally that valid cert numbers can be copied, so a database match does not prove the physical slab by itself.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** Any Left Arm of the Forbidden One with the same artwork is comparable to LOB-123. **What the evidence says:** The evidence separates original LOB-123 from later LOB-EN123 and other set codes; ch02 and ch08 require exact set code, edition, language, rarity, and condition.
- **Myth:** Population shown on a grading page is the print run. **What the evidence says:** A grading population is only a count recorded by that grader, not copies in existence or factory production; this is specifically rejected in ch02.
- **Myth:** A gold or silver security foil proves the card is authentic. **What the evidence says:** Konami describes foil color as an edition indicator, but ch06 requires multiple authentication checks and warns against single-factor authentication.
- **Myth:** A PSA 10 sale sets the value for every copy of the card. **What the evidence says:** ch03 requires sold comps for the same variant, grader, and grade; a PSA 10 1st Edition result does not price raw, Unlimited, or reprint copies.

## FAQ

### How much is a PSA 10 1st Edition LOB-123 Left Arm of the Forbidden One worth?

The opened PSA cert page showed PSA 10 similar-item sales from $3,998.41 to $7,700.00 in 2026, with the most recent on or before 2026-09-26 being $7,700.00 on 2026-08-09.

### How do I tell 1st Edition from Unlimited?

A 1st Edition copy has the 1st Edition text and gold security foil, while an Unlimited copy lacks the stamp and uses a silver security foil under Konami's guide.

### Is LOB-EN123 the same as LOB-123?

No; Konami lists LOB-123 for the 2002 Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon card and LOB-EN123 for the 2023 LC01 25th Anniversary Edition reprint.

### How many PSA 10 1st Edition LOB-123 copies exist?

Not established as a dated population record in this JSON; the opened PSA page displayed a population number but did not state an as-of date for that count.

### Should raw copies be priced from PSA 10 sales?

No; raw copies need raw sold comparables for the same LOB-123 edition and condition, because ch03 keeps raw and graded comps separate.
