Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards are not paper cards, but stainless steel cards.
As of 2019, there are a total of seven types, of which five are rare cards with a small number of cards distributed as promotion cards.
Here we introduce all stainless steel cards . The price of the cards is also introduced.
List of stainless steel cards
The stainless steel card is included in two competition promos and one product.
National tournament prize promotion card
Promotional card distributed to the top four tournament winners at the “Game Boy ‘DMⅠ’ Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters National Tournament” held on February 21, 1999 in Ginza, Tokyo.
In addition to the stainless steel card, the original author, Kazuki Takahashi’s newly written colored paper, has also been given to the four winners.
Black Luster Soldier
There is only one card in the world distributed only to the winner.
There was a time when it was sold for 998 million yen at an online shop before, which is a card that has become a hot topic on summary sites and the like.
The online shop that was selling at that time was closed, so it is unknown where this card is currently located.(I wonder if the net shop was really handling it in the first place …)
Zera the Mant
There are only two cards in the world distributed to winners and runners up.
Super War-Lion
There are only three cards in the world distributed to the top three people.
Fiend’s Mirror
There are only four cards in the world distributed to the top four people.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series Japan
Promotion cards distributed at “YCS JAPAN OSAKA 2019” held in Osaka on May 11, 2019 and “YCS JAPAN TOKYO 2019” held in Tokyo on November 3, 2019.
Red-Eyes B. Dragon
The top 64 players in each of the 2 tournaments, and the one in the Tokyo tournament that has been distributed to one player as a special prize in a large lottery, and there are only 129 cards in the world .
It is expected that the same number will be distributed at “YCS JAPAN NAGOYA 2020” scheduled to be held on February 15, 2020, but as of February 2020 there are only 129 copies.
* One piece is distributed at the event “Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Knight” held by Konami on November 22, 2019. This event is not open to the general public, and includes celebrities and famous YouTubers as well as those involved in Yu-Gi-Oh!
In this way, even events without public announcements are distributed, so there is a possibility that events other than YCSJ may be distributed, and it is thought that there are more than 129 copies.
After the distribution in Osaka, the market price was about $3,200 to $4,090, but it became about $5500 after that.
Currently, the number of copies has increased due to distribution at the Tokyo, so the market price have fallen.
The price ranges from $2,700 to $3,600.
Konami Style Limited Release Card
Dark Magician Girl
It is a stainless steel card of “Dark Magician Girl” scheduled to be released in the middle of March 2020.
Everything has a serial number, which is limited to 10,000.
Sales page: Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Duel Monsters “Dark Magician Girl” special card (stainless steel) (Reception is closed)
The price is $100, but it is expected that it will be sold at a high price because it is a limited item.
Can I use a stainless steel card?
You may be wondering, “Can a stainless steel card be used in a real duel?”, But of course you can’t use a stainless steel card.
This is because the thickness and weight of the card are different from paper cards, so even if you put it in the sleeve, you will notice the difference.
Conclusion
This time, we introduced all kinds of stainless steel cards.
Does anyone know where the real Black Luster Soldier is now? (Lol)
These stainless steel cards are basically collector’s items.
“Blue-Eyes White Dragon” and “Dark Magician” are not promo cards, so it is not difficult to obtain them, and it is recommended to arrange these two pieces as they will be very good looking collections.
thank you for reading!
