Look up a Yu-Gi-Oh price by locking the card number before you compare shops
An asking price is not a sale, so lock the card number, the language, and the print on the official database before you compare any shop quotes.
Key points
- The Forbidden & Limited List can move a card in a day.
- Hong Kong shops quote HKD while Marketcap indexes in USD.
- On 2026-08-30 the public Top 100 summed to about $2.67B.
Hong Kong shops quote in HKD and CardZ Marketcap indexes in USD, so do not line those numbers up raw.
Step 1: identity
Use Yu-Gi-Oh! Neuron for the card number, effect, set, and print, because one name can cover several prints. The site has Card Search, Deck Search, and the Forbidden & Limited List, and the card-text update log runs to 2026-07-03.
Search the code. RA02-JP000 is the identity, while the English name alone will collide with other prints.
Step 2: the market
| Tool | Use when | Watch |
|---|---|---|
| CardZ Marketcap | PSA 10 value, POP | Match the print, read the date |
| Hong Kong shop ask | Same-day stock | Quotes are in HKD |
| Overseas sales | EN or EU reference | Same language and condition |
On 2026-08-30 the public Top 100 summed to about $2.67B, which is an index rather than the raw card in your binder. To price a shop visit, walk Mong Kok (Cantonese) and collect quotes in HKD.
Marketcap publishes the method: PSA 10 reference sale multiplied by verified PSA 10 POP. Missing data stays missing, and they do not write 0. How to read it is on the CardZ Marketcap guide, and the PSA steps are on PSA 10 lookup.
The 2026-08-30 number one was Pokémon Grey Felt Hat (085/SVP) at $2,750. A Yu-Gi-Oh card outside the Top 100 still trades, so search the code instead of pasting $2,750 onto it.
Step 3: real cost
In person, the real cost is the sticker plus the MTR fare in HKD. For an online pull, add shipping, and remember that Clove fees are Japanese reward points rather than HKD cash. Cross-border orders add FX on top. See buy Yu-Gi-Oh in HK (Cantonese).
Common mistakes
- Searching the name and landing on the wrong print.
- Ignoring this season’s Forbidden & Limited List.
- Treating Points buyback as market cap.
- Comparing an old screenshot to today’s ask.
FAQ
Is a shop’s asking price what the card sold for?
No. An asking price is not a sale. Lock the card number, language, and print first, then compare that exact print across shops and against the index.
Why does the ban list matter to price?
Because the Forbidden & Limited List can move a card in a day. A quote from last season may reflect a legality that no longer applies to the format you play.
Can I compare a Hong Kong quote to a Marketcap figure directly?
No. Hong Kong shops quote HKD and Marketcap indexes in USD, and the index is PSA 10 reference sale multiplied by verified PSA 10 POP rather than a raw card price.
What does the Top 100 total tell me about my card?
Very little on its own. On 2026-08-30 it summed to about $2.67B, which is an index. Search your own card code rather than borrowing a headline number.
