Tracking the biggest moves in the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG for the week of June 11th – June 18th.
We’ve identified the top 3 cards gaining value and the top 3 losing ground based on their total dollar impact. To give you the most accurate global snapshot, we have included pricing in AUD, USD, and EUR.
Please note that our data focuses on Near Mint (Raw) card values. We track raw cards because they represent the “heart” of the market; their movement typically sets the floor and dictates the price trends for graded (PSA/BGS) slabs.
Here’s what’s moving the needle this week:
Top 3 Gainers
1. Desrook Archfiend | Dark Crisis (Worldwide Edition) – Common – DCR-EN070 | Unlimited
- Price Last Week:
AUD $901 | USD: $637 | EUR: €552 - Current Price:
AUD $1,182 | USD: $835 | EUR: €725 - % Increase: 31.19%
- $ Increase:
AUD +$281 | USD: +$198 | EUR: +€172 - Insights: Desrook Archfiend makes the top 3 gainers for the second consecutive week, and at almost the identical percentage (+31.03% last week, +31.19% this week). Back-to-back 31% gains on a Common card is highly unusual and points to sustained, real demand rather than a one-off spike.
2. Giant Red Seasnake | World Championship 2011 – Super Rare – WP11-EN008 | Limited
- Price Last Week:
AUD $142 | USD: $100 | EUR: €87 - Current Price:
AUD $382 | USD: $270 | EUR: €234 - % Increase: 170%
- $ Increase:
AUD +$240 | USD: +$170 | EUR: +€147 - Insights: A 170% jump on this World Championship 2011 prize card is significant. Interestingly, the other WC2011 card this week — Meteor Dragon (WP11-EN007) — is the biggest loser. Two cards from the same set going in opposite directions in the same week illustrates just how individual and unpredictable the prize card market can be. Giant Red Seasnake appears to be getting a second look from collectors.
3. Elemental HERO Burstinatrix | Mattel Action Figure Promos – Parallel Rare – MF03-EN004 | Limited
- Price Last Week:
AUD $1,696 | USD: $1,199 | EUR: €1,040 - Current Price:
AUD $1,909 | USD: $1,350 | EUR: €1,170 - % Increase: 12.55%
- $ Increase:
AUD +$213 | USD: +$151 | EUR: +€130 - Insights: Mattel Action Figure Promos are among the rarest and most niche cards in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! ecosystem, and a steady 12.55% gain on a nearly $2,000 AUD card reflects genuine collector demand.
Top 3 Losers
1. Meteor Dragon | World Championship 2011 – Super Rare – WP11-EN007 | Limited
- Price Last Week:
AUD $651 | USD: $460 | EUR: €399 - Current Price:
AUD $212 | USD: $150 | EUR: €130 - % Decrease: 67.40%
- $ Decrease:
AUD -$439 | USD: -$310 | EUR: -€269 - Insights: Meteor Dragon has now been the biggest loser for two consecutive weeks, shedding 67.40% each time. From over $650 AUD just two weeks ago, it now sits at $212. This appears to be a prolonged collapse rather than a single-week correction.
2. Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Ultra Pharaoh’s Rare) | Magnificent Mavens – Ultra Pharaoh’s Rare – M… | 1st Edition
- Price Last Week:
AUD $1,308 | USD: $925 | EUR: €802 - Current Price:
AUD $881 | USD: $623 | EUR: €540 - % Decrease: 32.67%
- $ Decrease:
AUD -$427 | USD: -$302 | EUR: -€262 - Insights: A 32.67% drop on this premium 1st Edition collector variant of Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The Ultra Pharaoh’s Rare is one of the most prestigious rarity designations in the modern game, and a correction of this size suggests the card may have been running ahead of sustainable demand.
3. VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon | Elemental Energy – Ultimate Rare – EEN-EN039 | Unlimited
- Price Last Week:
AUD $293 | USD: $207 | EUR: €180 - Current Price:
AUD $65 | USD: $46 | EUR: €40 - % Decrease: 77.71%
- $ Decrease:
AUD -$228 | USD: -$161 | EUR: -€140 - Insights: A near-wipeout, dropping 77.71% from $293 to just $65 AUD. VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon is a niche collector card with very limited market liquidity, which means a single sale at a significantly lower price can dramatically skew the average.
