Population suggests a real shot at a grade that clears raw plus fees. Liquidity also concentrates in holders at this level.
Grade yield
28% chance of PSA 9+. Net potential upside: +$178 after grading costs. Leave it raw.
PSA regular · $50 fee · $15 ship · $9 insurance · about 45 days. Shifted by this photo's 7.5 and 2,140 graded copies. Not a PSA yield.
Raw $780 · PSA 10 $8,200 · PSA 9 $1,450 · PSA 8 $640
- PSA 103% · pop 96+$6,273 after fee
- PSA 924% · pop 740+$414 after fee
- PSA 839% · pop 980-$289 after fee
Net is the slab price minus a 13% take, ship pad, a $50 fee, and raw. A 10 is not the likely outcome of a 9 photo.

Mixed book — no rush
Liquidity 65
No season window on this sport. The call is only the listed pile and the pop. One census snapshot — not a live pop velocity.
Trust shield
Check these tells
A phone photo cannot measure font kerning or a rosette against a reference set. These are the known tells for this issue.
- Yu-Gi-Oh eye hologram must sit in the correct corner with the right foil
- 1st Edition LOB ultras are a different card from later reprints

Authenticity
Likely authentic
Visual review, not a cert.
Census match on a well-documented issue. Still verify holograms, stamps, and stock in hand — photos miss texture.
- Print and type match known copies of this issue
- Stock and finish consistent with the set
- 1st Edition Ultra Rare eye hologram and LOB-001 stamp. Common fakes use the wrong eye foil or a reprinted set logo.

Tells
How fakes fail
Eye foils and texture are the first check.
- Yu-Gi-Oh eye hologram must sit in the correct corner with the right foil
- 1st Edition LOB ultras are a different card from later reprints
- Manga rares have line texture — flattened prints are the common fake
- Set codes (LOB-001, OP01-024) must match the illustration
On this issue: 1st Edition Ultra Rare eye hologram and LOB-001 stamp. Common fakes use the wrong eye foil or a reprinted set logo.
Centering & surface
Meter L/R and T/B from this photo, then loupe the print. A hint at what PSA, BGS, or SGC might say — not a cert.
Lot notes
The defining Yu-Gi-Oh card. 1st Edition ultra is a different animal from later reprints.
