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.

Break-even chance of a PSA 10
—
Enter a grading cost to calculate.

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 Red-Eyes Black Dragon

Red-Eyes Black Dragon is an early English Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon Ultra Rare tied to the Joey Wheeler character and the first Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG wave. Collectors search it because exact edition, condition, and grading outcome create very different markets for the same character.

Why this card matters

Verified factKonami's card database lists Red-Eyes Black Dragon as a DARK Level 7 Dragon Normal Monster with LOB-070 in Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon and later printings under different set codes. The original English Legend of Blue Eyes issue sits in the first Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG expansion, so collector demand is mostly nostalgia and exact-printing driven rather than gameplay scarcity. The PSA page used here is specifically for the 2002 LOB 1st Edition Red-Eyes B. Dragon entry, which must be kept separate from later Red-Eyes Black Dragon releases and reprints. [1][2]

Identifying the exact version

Verified factStart with the set code LOB-070, English language, Ultra Rare finish, and edition stamp. A 1st Edition copy should be identified separately from Unlimited before looking at any sale, because the PSA sales table and population table here are for 1st Edition. Konami's current database also lists later LOB-EN070 from the 25th Anniversary Edition and many other Red-Eyes printings, so a name-only search will mix fundamentally different cards. For graded copies, match the label, certification number, grade, and visible card details to the holder. [1][2][3]

What moves the price between versions and grades

AnalysisThe observed PSA sales show large grade gaps: the 1st Edition PSA 10 sale recorded on August 25, 2025 was much higher than PSA 9 and lower-grade sales on the same PSA CardFacts page. That does not make every raw copy a grading candidate; Chapter 04 requires a condition inspection and grading-cost comparison before assuming a high-grade outcome. Later Red-Eyes printings, Unlimited copies, and raw listings should be treated as separate comps under Chapter 03 rather than blended into one Red-Eyes price. [2]

Authenticity checks

AnalysisCompare the card against official Konami references and a known authentic example for the same era, checking set code, edition stamp, card name, foil, text box, back design, borders, surface, and size. Use several checks together; do not rely on one visual tell or on a low price. For slabs, verify the cert and compare the holder and card to seller photos, but remember that copied certification numbers exist. Do not perform destructive tests, clean, press, trim, or recolor the card before resale or submission. [1][3][4]

Telling the versions apart

VersionHow to identify it
1st Edition Ultra RareLook for the 1st Edition stamp and gold security foil; confirm LOB-070 and English text.
Unlimited Ultra RareNo 1st Edition stamp; Unlimited copies use the later edition presentation and should not be priced with 1st Edition copies.
Identity note: Seed name used the older market name Red-Eyes B. Dragon; Konami's current database name is Red-Eyes Black Dragon. The original English LOB-070 card text/name on early copies may differ from current database naming.
Why collectors look this card up: Misprint notes Red-Eyes with the marquee early Yu-Gi-Oh monsters near vintage pop rankings. source 1

What people get wrong about this card

Any Red-Eyes Black Dragon sale can be used to value LOB-070 1st Edition.
The evidence supports separating exact set code, edition, language, rarity, grader, and grade; later Red-Eyes releases are substitute characters, not the same comp.
The PSA population is the print run.
The population is a PSA-graded count for the PSA category, not copies produced or copies still existing.
A later official Red-Eyes printing is a counterfeit because it is not LOB-070.
Konami lists many official Red-Eyes printings; a reprint is different from a fake and must be identified by set code and treatment.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a PSA 10 1st Edition LOB-070 Red-Eyes worth?
The opened PSA CardFacts page records a PSA 10 1st Edition LOB-070 sale at $7,511 on August 25, 2025, source 2. [2]
How do I tell 1st Edition from Unlimited?
Check for the 1st Edition stamp and keep it separate from Unlimited; Konami's beginner guidance also notes edition/security-foil differences for Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, source 3. [3]
How many PSA 10 1st Edition copies exist?
PSA CardFacts showed 98 PSA 10 copies for its 1st Edition Red-Eyes B. Dragon category when accessed for this record on 2026-09-26, source 2. [2]
Is Red-Eyes B. Dragon the same as Red-Eyes Black Dragon?

Should I use the 25th Anniversary LOB-EN070 copy as a comp?
No, not for original LOB-070 1st Edition pricing; it is a later official printing and should be comped separately, sources 1 and 5. [1][5]
