Ultimate Offering [1st Edition] #SDY-E046 collector guide

About Ultimate Offering

Ultimate Offering is a Continuous Trap Card, printed as SDY-E046 in Starter Deck: Yugi (2002) as a Common. Starter Deck: Yugi was one of the two pre-built decks that launched the English game in 2002, built around the cards Yugi Muto plays in the anime, with Dark Magician at its centre.

Version and identification

This guide covers the 1st Edition printing. The words "1st Edition" are printed below the artwork on the left; copies without them are the Unlimited printing and usually sell for less. Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read SDY-E046. The E in SDY-E046 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 Common version. Commons have a plain name and no foil. Starter Deck: Yugi has 3 other printings of Ultimate Offering: SDY-050 (€0.40), SDY-050 1st Edition (€7.20) and SDY-E046 (€2.20). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly. It was also printed in Starter Deck: Kaiba and Quarter Century Bonanza, which we track separately.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Ultimate Offering yet, so we cannot give it a value.

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the 1st Edition run of an early English set, which will never be printed again; it is the original printing, which reprints rarely replace for collectors. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code SDY-E046, the "1st Edition" text and the Common finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Cards from 2002 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
