Top Selling Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards on TCGplayer: September 2025
By Peter Day •
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 September 1 and 31, 2025. 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 September 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 or More
#1 MarshmaoYummy
Set: Doom of Dimensions
Average Sale Price: $50.85
Far and away the bestselling card in this price bracket was MarshmaoYummy. Yummy has been cleaning up competitively, so this newest three-of in the deck has become the chase card from Doom of Dimensions and the most expensive non-Starlight Rare in the set (its Starlight Rare version tops that category).
#2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Set: OTS Tournament Pack 28
Average Sale Price: $101.59
OTS Tournament Packs are prize support packs provided by Konami to game stores that run OTS events, which makes the special reprints they contain especially hard to obtain. Konami often fills these packs with cards that are or were competitively viable, but Pack 28 (released on June 18) also includes the first OTS Tournament Pack reprint of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, arguably the most beloved card in all of Yu-Gi-Oh.
This BEWD reprint is no longer the most expensive OTS card ever—its price has fallen steadily over the past few months as more copies have been opened and entered circulation. But its sinking price has brought it into the range of more players’ budgets, so sales have remained strong.
#3 K9-04 Noroi (Starlight Rare)
Set: Doom of Dimensions
Average Sale Price: $55.59
After MarshmaoYummy, K9-04 is the most expensive Starlight Rare in Doom of Dimensions. A K9 deck won the 2025 World Championship less than two months ago, so even though the deck took a hit from the latest Forbidden and Limited list, some players are optimistic that it’ll bounce back with this new piece of support.
#4 Mitsurugi Ritual (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Set: Supreme Darkness
Average Sale Price: $50.21
Pure Mitsurugi decks on the other hand were left unscathed by the recent F&L list, so sales of this Quarter Century Secret Rare soared when the list was announced on September 12.
#5 K9-17 Izuna (Starlight Rare)
Set: Justice Hunters
Average Sale Price: $91.70
This Starlight Rare remains the top chase card from Justice Hunters, which in turn makes it a popular card to pick up for anyone who hasn’t mastered the set.
Top Selling Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards: $1.00 to $49.99
#1 Retaliating "C"
Set: 2025 Mega-Pack
Average Sale Price: $2.50
Sales for this reprint were solid but unimpressive when the 2025 Mega-Pack released on September 3. But on September 13, the day after Konami dropped the new Forbidden and Limited List, sales suddenly spiked even higher than they’d been on release day, while the average number of copies per buyer soared to 16.1.
Speculators were likely betting that Retaliating “C” would see increased play in sideboards as a way to counter Dracotail decks, which were well-positioned after the bans.
#2 Fire King Courtier Ulcanix
Set: 2025 Mega-Pack
Average Sale Price: $2.16
The original printing of Fire King Courtier Ulcanix was as much as $30 earlier this year, so players have been taking this opportunity to grab the reprint while it’s so affordable.
#3 Pot of Greed
Set: 2025 Mega-Pack
Average Sale Price: $5.96
Pot of Greed has been forbidden in Advanced forever, but in the newly created Genesys format, players can run a whole playset of Pot of Greed if they don’t mind skipping most of the other super-powered cards in the format. That’s just one of the new format’s big selling points that’s got players buying into Yu-Gi-Oh staples of years gone by.
#4 Spell Card "Monster Reborn"
Set: 2025 Mega-Pack
Average Sale Price: $1.22
This “fixed” version of Monster Reborn rarely sees competitive play. For reasons that aren’t totally clear, many Yu-Gi-Oh fans were buying more than a playset each when this Starlight Rare version dropped in early September, with the average number of copies per buyer rising to 6.8 on September 8.
#5 Spirit with Eyes of Blue
Set: 2025 Mega-Pack
Average Sale Price: $3.44
Spirit with Eyes of Blue sees play in Dracotail decks, and at less than $4, this Starlight Rare reprint in 2025 Mega-Pack makes a nice upgrade to the original version from Structure Deck: Blue-Eyes White Destiny in terms of style points.
