How much is my Blue-Eyes White Dragon worth?
The face of Yu-Gi-Oh!, from LOB first editions to modern reprints.
No Yu-Gi-Oh! card carries more weight than Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The 2002 Legend of Blue Eyes (LOB) first-edition print is the game's defining chase card, with pristine graded copies selling for five and six figures — while the same artwork on one of its dozens of reprints may trade for a pound.
The set code printed under the artwork decides everything: LOB-001 is a different market from SDK-001, and both are different again from the anniversary and structure-deck reprints. SnapCardValue reads the set code from a photograph and prices the exact print from realised sales.

Your questions, answered.
How do I know which Blue-Eyes White Dragon I have?
Check the set code printed under the artwork on the right — LOB-001 (or LOB-E001/EN001 for European prints) is the original Legend of Blue Eyes release; SDK-001 is the Kaiba starter deck; dozens of later codes are reprints. First-edition prints carry a gold 1st Edition stamp.
How much is a first-edition LOB Blue-Eyes worth?
It is the game's premier chase card: heavily played copies still trade for serious money, and pristine graded copies have sold for five and six figures. Condition and grade dominate the price.
Are Blue-Eyes reprints worth anything?
Most modern reprints trade modestly — they exist so players can use the card. Exceptions include limited anniversary prints, alternate artworks, and high-rarity versions like Ultimate and Ghost rares.
Is my Blue-Eyes worth grading?
Vintage LOB and SDK prints in genuinely clean condition are strong grading candidates — high grades multiply their value. Common reprints rarely justify the fee.
How can I tell if a Blue-Eyes is fake?
Counterfeits are common for iconic cards: check the foil stamp in the lower right, print sharpness, card-back colour and stock stiffness. For expensive prints, buy graded or from reputable sellers.
