About Guardian Ceal
Guardian Ceal is an Effect Monster, printed as DCR-006 in Dark Crisis (2003) as an Ultra Rare. It is a Level 4 FIRE Pyro monster with 1,700 ATK and 1,400 DEF. Dark Crisis closed out 2003 with cards such as Exodia Necross, Vampire Lord and Skull Archfiend of Lightning. Ungraded, this printing ranks 59th of the 216 Dark Crisis cards we track. The top card is Contract with the Abyss at €53.55.
Character and collecting appeal
Pyro monsters are fire-themed and often deal direct damage. Its text is about destroying cards. Its text names Shooting Star Bow - Ceal, so collectors often look for them together.
Version and identification
This guide covers the Unlimited printing, without the "1st Edition" text below the artwork. 1st Edition copies of the same card have their own, usually higher, prices. Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read DCR-006. The code DCR-006, without a language letter, marks the original North American printing. European English copies have an E in the code, such as DCR-E006, and are priced separately. It is the Ultra Rare version. Ultra Rares have a gold-foil name and holographic artwork. Dark Crisis has one other printing of Guardian Ceal: DCR-006 1st Edition (€6.18). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.
Price history
Today an ungraded copy of this printing sells for about €1.56, a PSA 9 for €8.12 and a PSA 10 for €99.60. Our monthly prices for it go back to October 2021. Over the last 12 months ungraded copies are down 49%, and down 9% in the last month. Its highest monthly ungraded value was €4.64 in March 2023, 66% above today. PSA 10 copies have moved down 21% over the same 12 months. 1st Edition copies sell for about 4× the Unlimited printing (€6.18 against €1.56).
Grading and population
A PSA 10 sells for 63.8× the ungraded price and 12.3× a PSA 9. That gap is big enough that grading a sharp, well-centred copy can pay for itself. Early English Yu-Gi-Oh! cards often have off-centre cuts and wear on the dark brown back borders, which is why high grades are hard to reach.
Investment potential
In its favour: a price well below its March 2023 peak, which some collectors see as room to recover; it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed; an active market (27 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: falling prices, down 49% in a year. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.
Before you buy
Expect to pay around €1.56 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €8.12. Ask the seller to show the code DCR-006, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Ultra Rare finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Cards from 2003 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
