About Tyler the Great Warrior

Tyler the Great Warrior is a one-of-one English Yu-Gi-Oh! promotional card created through Make-A-Wish for Tyler Gressle. Collectors search for it because its provenance and 2023 public auction made it one of the most visible unique Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

Why this card matters

Verified factTyler the Great Warrior is not a pack-pulled chase card; its importance comes from a documented Make-A-Wish provenance and the named recipient, Tyler Gressle. Beckett's auction announcement described the card as a one-of-one Yu-Gi-Oh! card connected to Gressle's childhood wish, and later reports documented the eBay auction result. Because the card is unique, normal set-population logic does not apply. Research should focus on provenance, the exact original card, grade at sale, and whether any claimed copy is the actual auctioned object. [1][2][3]

Identifying the exact version

Verified factThe target version is the English TYL-EN001 Make-A-Wish promotional card, not a proxy, custom print, image, fan card, or later marketplace listing using the name. Beckett identifies the item as 2005 Yu-Gi-Oh Make-A-Wish Promo #TYLEN001 Tyler the Great Warrior UR and lists manufacturer Konami. Public sale reporting says the auctioned card was graded BGS 7 at the time of sale. Because the item is one-of-one, provenance and matching images are central to identity, not optional supporting details. [1][2][4]

What moves the price between versions and grades

AnalysisFor Tyler the Great Warrior, the main sale evidence is the April 29, 2023 eBay auction reported at $311,211. There are no normal repeated same-grade comps because the original card is unique. The price evidence is therefore event-specific: the public auction, BGS 7 grade, story provenance, and buyer participation at that time. Do not use cheap eBay sales of reproductions or unrelated listings as comps for the original. For future valuation, a new sale of the same physical card would be the relevant comp. [2][3][4]

Authenticity checks

AnalysisCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For this card, ordinary visual checks are not enough because the object is claimed to be unique. Require provenance back to Tyler Gressle or the documented auction, matching photographs, grading documentation, and a secure transaction record. Treat marketplace listings with the same name but no provenance as excluded comps. If slabbed, verify the BGS record and physical holder, and still compare the card to the documented auction images. [1][2][4]

Identity note: The public sources support the one-of-one Make-A-Wish presentation-card identity. No separate graded-population source was established beyond the sale reporting.

What people get wrong about this card

Any Tyler the Great Warrior listing is a comp for the original.
Only the original one-of-one card with matching provenance is comparable; reproductions and misclassified listings are excluded. See ch03 and ch06.
A one-of-one card automatically has a predictable resale price.
A 1/1 designation does not establish the number of interested buyers or future liquidity; it only describes that object's supply. See ch09 and ch10.
The $311,211 sale means every rare Yu-Gi-Oh! promo should be priced similarly.
That sale was tied to this specific card, provenance, auction event, and grade; other promos require their own comps. See ch03.
