Opened PSA/Fanatics sale records used here identify Ghost Rare but do not prove 1st Edition versus Unlimited, so those sales are stored under edition-not-stated. ## Why this card matters Konami's database lists Stardust Dragon in The Duelist Genesis as TDGS-EN040 with Ultra Rare, Ultimate Rare, and Ghost Rare entries dated September 2, 2008. The Ghost Rare is the version documented in the opened PSA and Fanatics sale records. Collectors search it because Stardust Dragon is a signature 5D's-era monster and because condition-sensitive Ghost Rare surfaces make grade-specific comps especially important. ## Identifying the exact version First confirm TDGS-EN040 and the Ghost Rare treatment. Then determine edition: a 1st Edition card should show printed 1st Edition text and the correct security foil, while Unlimited lacks the 1st Edition mark. The opened PSA cert page identifies TDGS-Ghost Rare but does not state 1st Edition or Unlimited in the text available to this research, so those sales are not assigned to either edition. ## What moves the price between versions and grades The opened PSA cert page records a PSA 10 Ghost Rare sale at $8,750 on June 19, 2026 through eBay Best Offer, while an opened Fanatics Collect auction records $2,520 with buyer's premium on September 15, 2025. Both are PSA 10 Ghost Rare records, but edition uncertainty remains. Raw, PSA 9, Ultimate Rare, and Ultra Rare copies need their own opened comps. ## Authenticity checks Compare against official references; use multiple checks; avoid destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For TDGS-EN040 Ghost Rare, inspect the set code, foil treatment, edition text, security foil, surface, scratches, and slab cert. Ghost Rare surfaces can show defects that are hard to see straight-on, so angled-light photos matter even when the PSA number is attractive. ## Common misconceptions - **Myth:** A TDGS-EN040 sale can be used for any Stardust Dragon. **What the evidence says:** Konami lists many Stardust Dragon printings, so TDGS-EN040 must stay separate from tins, reprints, and later Starlight or Quarter Century versions. - **Myth:** Ghost Rare, Ultimate Rare, and Ultra Rare are interchangeable. **What the evidence says:** The official database lists separate rarities for TDGS-EN040; sale comps must use the exact treatment. - **Myth:** A PSA 10 Ghost Rare sale proves the 1st Edition price if the listing text does not say 1st Edition. **What the evidence says:** Edition must be proven from the source or listing photos; otherwise the comp stays edition-not-stated. ## FAQ ### What rarities did Stardust Dragon have in The Duelist Genesis?
