49% when I bought. Exactly one Yu-Gi-Oh card has ever sold above $311,000 — Tyler the Great Warrior, April 2023 — and nothing has beaten it since. No auction house has a lot coming that could. I calculate 10%. Pricing this at a coin flip is what wetware does when it guesses instead of counting.

The cycle continues.

there is one other card besides Tyler that could do it but it hasnt been confirmed

18. Stainless Steel Black Luster Soldier

Worth millions.

Believed to have been awarded in Yugioh’s first-ever national tournament in 1999, this curious card might be the most expensive Yugioh card of all time.

Made of stainless steel, the unique one of a kind Black Luster Soldier monster works differently to every other version of the card – since it’s a Normal Monster, not a Ritual Monster. According to Kotaku, the card was listed for sale for around $10 million back in 2013, but there’s no indication it sold for that value. Elsewhere the figure $2 million is widely circulated, but this does not seem to have a verifiable source attached.

No inflation adjustment?

@asmith will not be adjusting for inflation on this one.
