Character and collecting appeal
Beast-Warriors mix animal and warrior designs and have been part of the game since the first sets. Its effect centres on searching the Deck.
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-064. The code DCR-064, without a language letter, marks the original North American printing. European English copies have an E in the code, such as DCR-E064, and are priced separately. It is the Common version. Commons have a plain name and no foil. Dark Crisis has one other printing of Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu: DCR-064 1st Edition (€0.66). 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 €0.45, a PSA 9 for €6.25 and a PSA 10 for €50.63. Our monthly prices for it go back to October 2021. Over the last 12 months ungraded copies are down 69%, and flat in the last month. Its highest monthly ungraded value was €1.45 in September 2025, 69% above today. PSA 10 copies have moved down 24% over the same 12 months. 1st Edition copies sell for about 1.5× the Unlimited printing (€0.66 against €0.45).
Grading and population
A PSA 10 sells for 112.5× the ungraded price and 8.1× a PSA 9. That gap is small, so grading fees may outweigh the gain unless the card is for your own collection. 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 September 2025 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 (25 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: falling prices, down 69% in a year. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.
Before you buy
Expect to pay around €0.45 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €6.25. Ask the seller to show the code DCR-064, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Common 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.
