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.
Compare grading math across cards · 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 Raigeki
Raigeki is a Super Rare Spell numbered LOB-053 from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. Collectors search for it because it is a famous early power card with many later reprints, so exact code and grade are central.
Why this card matters
Verified factRaigeki matters because it is one of the best-known early Yu-Gi-Oh! Spell cards and appears across many later products. Konami's database lists the original 2002 LOB-053 Super Rare and many later printings in different rarities. For this slug, the collectible identity is the English LOB-053 printing from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon, not merely any legal or playable Raigeki. [1]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factThe exact version is LOB-053. Later cards include LOB-EN053 LC01, DB1-EN114, Retro Pack, OTS, premium gold, Prismatic Secret Rare, Quarter Century Secret Rare, and other entries. Konami describes Super Rare as holographic card art without foil on the card name. Edition should be checked by 1st Edition text and the security foil color. [1][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisRaigeki has strong substitute supply for gameplay, so collector value depends heavily on the exact vintage printing, edition, and grade. The PSA sales opened here are for PSA-graded 1st Edition LOB-053 copies, with PSA 10, 9, and 8 records kept separate. A modern high-rarity Raigeki may be collectible, but it is not a direct comparable for LOB-053. [3]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. Confirm LOB-053, Super Rare finish, edition text, security foil color, Spell icon, card text, back design, and seller-owned photos. For slabs, verify the certification and inspect the holder, because PSA states that cert verification does not eliminate counterfeit-insert risk. [1][2][5]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| LOB-053 1st Edition Super Rare | Printed as LOB-053, Super Rare, with 1st Edition text and a gold security foil. |
| LOB-053 Unlimited Super Rare | Printed as LOB-053, Super Rare, no 1st Edition text, and a silver security foil. |
| LOB-EN053 LC01 25th Anniversary Super Rare | Modern 2023 reprint using LOB-EN053 from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (LC01 25th Anniversary Edition). |
