Character and collecting appeal

Cards named Red-Eyes belong to the family built around Joey Wheeler's Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Its effect centres on negating cards and effects, destroying cards and dealing damage. It has a Quick Effect, so it can also be used during the opponent's turn. Its Fusion Materials include Dark Magician and Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

Version and identification

Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read RA02-EN021. RA02-EN021 is the English printing. Other languages use their own letters in place of EN, such as DE or FR, and are priced separately. It is the Quarter Century Secret Rare version. Quarter Century Secret Rares were introduced for the game's 25th anniversary. 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II has 7 other printings of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon: RA02-EN021 Collector's Rare (€5.26), RA02-EN021 Misprint (€98.17), RA02-EN021 Platinum Secret Rare (€8.13), RA02-EN021 Secret Rare (€3.97), RA02-EN021 Super Rare (€2.07) and RA02-EN021 Ultimate Rare (€5.13), and more.

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 10× the ungraded price and 3.9× a PSA 9. That gap is big enough that grading a sharp, well-centred copy can pay for itself. Even pack-fresh modern cards can have surface scratches or curling foil, so a 10 is never guaranteed.

Investment potential

In its favour: a price well below its March 2026 peak, which some collectors see as room to recover; an active market (44 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: falling prices, down 34% in a year; large modern print runs, which tend to cap prices unless a card becomes iconic. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €22.25 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €56.75. Ask the seller to show the code RA02-EN021 and the Quarter Century Secret Rare finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Modern foils can be scratched or curled straight from the pack, so check the surface under a light if you plan to grade.
