Character and collecting appeal

Its effect centres on an alternative way to win the duel and Special Summoning.

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 LOD-099. The code LOD-099, without a language letter, marks the original North American printing. European English copies have an E in the code, such as LOD-E099, and are priced separately. It is the Ultra Rare version. Ultra Rares have a gold-foil name and holographic artwork. Legacy of Darkness has one other printing of Last Turn: LOD-099 1st Edition (€22.69). 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 €8.87, a PSA 9 for €44.58 and a PSA 10 for €395.55. Our monthly prices for it go back to November 2021. Over the last 12 months ungraded copies are up 67%, and up 21% in the last month. The current price is its high point on our records. PSA 10 copies have moved up 64% over the same 12 months. 1st Edition copies sell for about 2.6× the Unlimited printing (€22.69 against €8.87).

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 44.6× the ungraded price and 8.9× 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: steady demand, with ungraded prices up 67% in a year; it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed; an active market (38 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €8.87 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €44.58. Ask the seller to show the code LOD-099, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Ultra Rare finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. At this price fakes are worth checking for: genuine cards have a small holographic seal (the Eye of Anubis) in the bottom-right corner, and the font, colours and card back should match a copy you know is genuine. Look up the certificate number of any graded copy on the grading company's website. Cards from 2003 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
