Tri-Horned Dragon #LOB-E000 collector guide

About Tri-Horned Dragon

Tri-Horned Dragon is a Normal Monster, with flavour text instead of an effect, printed as LOB-E000 in Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (2002) as a Secret Rare. It is a Level 8 DARK Dragon monster with 2,850 ATK and 2,350 DEF. At its Level it needs two Tributes to Normal Summon. Its ATK is the 2nd highest of the 87 monsters in the set. Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon was the first booster set of the English Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. It brought Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician, Red-Eyes Black Dragon and the five pieces of Exodia to English-speaking players, so almost every card in it is a piece of the game's history. Ungraded, this printing ranks 93rd of the 454 Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon cards we track. The top card is Blue-Eyes White Dragon at €968.32.

Character and collecting appeal

Tri-Horned Dragon is a 2850 ATK Normal Monster and one of the Secret Rare chase cards of Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. With no effect, its appeal is its artwork, its stats and its place in Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon.

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 LOB-E000. The E in LOB-E000 marks the European English printing. The North American printing uses a code without the letter, sometimes with a different card number, and has its own prices. It is the Secret Rare version. Secret Rares have a rainbow-foil name and diagonal holographic artwork. Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon has 3 other printings of Tri-Horned Dragon: LOB-000 (€27.01), LOB-000 1st Edition (€178.48) and LOB-E000 1st Edition (€67.57). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 54.6× the ungraded price and 7× a PSA 9. That gap is big enough that grading a sharp, well-centred copy can pay for itself. On cards from the early 2000s, the dark brown backs show every scuff and white edge, so top grades are scarce.

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed; lasting fame from the anime or the competitive game; an active market (19 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 €10.61 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €83.31. Ask the seller to show the code LOB-E000, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Secret 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 2002 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
