The first step to serving customer demand is to understand it. So to help you follow what’s currently popular with players and collectors, we’ve put together a pair of downloadable CSV reports of the top-selling Yu-Gi-Oh! cards of the past month.

These reports show the name and set of the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards with the highest total number of copies sold on the TCGplayer Marketplace between June 1 and June 30. The reports consider cards from different sets to be distinct (even if they have the same name), but do not distinguish copies sold by condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, etc.) or by printing (Foil, etc.).

The two reports cover cards that had an average sale price in June within two ranges: $50.00 or more, and $1.00 to $49.99.

Here are five highlights from each report.


Top Selling Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards: $50.00 or More


#1 Phantom of Yubel
Set: Battles of Legend: Terminal Revenge
Average Sale Price: ​​$64.44

Phantom of Yubel almost single-handedly elevates Yubel into a top-tier deck with its ability to interrupt monster effects while triggering the effects of your other Yubel cards.

#2 S:P Little Knight
Set: Age of Overlord
Average Sale Price: ​​$103.52

Little Knight can slip into any deck and give it a way to banish any card on the field or in the graveyard, plus an extra banish on an opposing monster. Until it gets a reprint, it’s destined to remain expensive and in high demand. 

#3 I:P Masquerena (Alternate Art) (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Set: 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II
Average Sale Price: ​​$54.57

I:P Masquerena is a long-time all-star in competitive Yu-Gi-Oh!, and that recognizability has made its Quarter Century Secret Rare printing the most expensive card in 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II.

#4 Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess (Alternate Art) (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Set: 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II
Average Sale Price: ​​$51.81

Apollousa is another all-star like I:P Masquerena, and its Quarter Century Secret Rare printing is only second to Masquerena as the top chase card of 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II.

#5 Trident Dragion
Set: Legendary Collection 5D’s
Average Sale Price: ​​$73.98

This is the least expensive printing of Trident Dragion, which sees play in the highly competitive Tenpai deck that’s been topping tournaments since April. 


Top Selling Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards: $1.00 to $49.99


#1 Mirror Mage of the Ice Barrier
Set: Battles of Legend: Terminal Revenge
Average Sale Price: ​​$3.32

Battles of Legend: Terminal Revenge introduced tons of new support cards for the Ice Barriers theme, including this card, which makes it much easier for duelists to summon the new Ice Barrier boss monster Lancea, Ancestral Dragon of the Ice Mountain.

#2 Branded Fusion
Set: Battles of Legend: Terminal Revenge
Average Sale Price: $1.60

This is the first widely available reprint we’ve seen of Branded Fusion since it was first printed in the Albaz Strike Structure Deck in 2022, and its arrival has cut the card’s price in half. Branded Fusion is a one-card combo for summoning Albion the Branded Dragon, which can then summon another monster, giving you a nice board at the cost of a single card and some deck slots.

#3 Georgius, Swordman of the Ice Barrier
Set: Battles of Legend: Terminal Revenge
Average Sale Price: $2.43

Georgius is another key new card for the Ice Barriers theme. Players often choose it as one of the first cards to summon with Lancea, Ancestral Dragon of the Ice Mountain to lock down the graveyard and get another free summon.

#4 Diviner of the Herald
Set: Battles of Legend: Terminal Revenge
Average Sale Price: $1.88

This card is the latest reprint of Diviner of the Herald, a key starter card in Voiceless Voice decks that kicks off all their best combos.

#5 Spright Starter
Set: Battles of Legend: Terminal Revenge
Average Sale Price: $2.27

This is the first reprint of Spright Starter since the card was introduced in Power of the Elements in 2022. As the name implies, it sets up Spright monsters, which can form the engine of any deck that relies on Level/Rank/Link 2 monsters.
