Yu-Gi-Oh Market Watch: Rise of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Back in 2002, Yu-Gi-Oh took both the trading card game and animes world by storm. The franchise rivalled many popular titles at that time such as Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering.
Today Yu-Gi-Oh continues to establish itself as one of the major TCG’s throughout the world. And as of the fans and players of of old begin to mature, many cards from the original sets are starting to see price spikes similar to how Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon have seen in the last few years.
Leading that charge is none other than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Blue-Eyes was ingrained into the hearts of many young fans when it made its presence felt as one of the most powerful monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh’s first episode. As a card, it was highly coveted in the first booster series The Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon and Starter Deck Kaiba.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon: First Edition vs. Starter Deck Kaiba
In recent months both versions of Blue-Eyes White have started to see drastic jumps in price, some doubling in value overnight. Specifically, Gem Mint first edition copies are seeing the biggest spikes.
Currently the pack version of Blue-Eyes is reaching prices of over $5,000. Although not as high, the starter deck version has begun to hit over $1,500.
As the market continues to adapt, it will be interesting to see if the starter deck version begins to gain more ground on the pack version, as it sports the original anime artwork that fans have come to know and love. It also has a lower population of Gem Mints out there.
Whichever version you prefer now would be a good time to get in on either of these cards, as there seems to be no slowing down on the demand for original Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
I have a blue eyes white dragon 1st edition but it isnt like the once showed above, I will admit it is slightly worn but not that bad.
I think I have 1 too I might sell it I hope it’s the card worth 25,000. Hopefully you have the expensive 1 too.
So, I’ve got several of the starter blue eyes and few of the pack blue eyes, where can I post these other than eBay to sell? There all 1996, also have the toon version, red eyes black dragon and many other rare cards
Where do I sell any of these cards online for that much

I have two unopened packs of 1st Edition Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game “Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon.” Each box contains TWENTY-FOUR packs of 9 cards each! These are from 1996. And the cover of the box says “1 Rare Card in Every Box,” indicating 24 rare cards in each box!
Any sense of what these boxes could fetch realistically????
i have 1st adition but idk what its worth
Zack, have you ever tried to contact an appraiser? Are yours unopened as well, or have you gone thru it..how many cards in total do you have?
I have a big version of the card that is 1996 but it doesn’t say first edition and it says that the card is not useable in a duel.
I have a 12 star mint in good condition idk know if I should sell it ??
If the writing in the box is not in italics. Does that mean my blue eyed dragon is a fake?
1996 is just the copyright date when the cards first came out. The trading card game was launched by Konami in 1999 in Japan and March 2002 in North America.
i have the card in the first pic but it says first edition at the bottom i it still worth the same amount of money
mine too isn’t in the best shape but says 1st edition on the bottom.
I have the same version as the picture above its kinda worn but still in pretty good condition its the original one it even has a silver mark on it.
I have two first edition sdk 001 blue eyes white dragons. Looking on PCGplayer, I see their listing at $62. I’m wondering where you figured out the value of the card at upwards of $1500?
i collect all kinds of cards and i got the shiny looking blue eyes white dragon mint condition card from 1996 how much is it worth
The valuable Blue Eyes is the 1st edition LOB-001. I sold 2 of them not long ago for $3,000 and $3,900 separately.
I have a 1st edition blue eyes white dragon (Fairly damaged as I have had it a while). It is holo with holo text and also says LOB-001. Any ideas on its value because I can not see this particular one with the lob-001 code anywhere, it is the same card shown in the second image above.
It has the yugioh holo square in the bottom corner.
Oh another thing, I donk know if this adds value but the text for the card name is misprinted and overlaps with the card type in the top right.
Just checked the card and it seems to be ultra rare as it has holo text + picture but I really need help with this one, it has all the official markings but I can not see any other LOB-001 cards with the same art as on the sdk I keep seeing.
All I keep seeing is items listed as LOB-e001 and the artwork is completely different, please help me with this one as I don’t have a clue.
i got a LOB
