Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yu-Gi-Oh! on Sideboard covers over 650 sets — from the original LOB through current core boosters — plus structure decks, starter decks, speed duel product, tins, mega packs, and reprint sets. The one quirk that sets it apart from other games is edition stamping: for older sets, 1st Edition and Unlimited copies have meaningfully different prices and are tracked independently.

Sets & Catalog

Sideboard’s Yu-Gi-Oh! catalog mirrors the full TCGPlayer Yu-Gi-Oh! library, organized into product types that make browsing manageable:

New sets appear in Sideboard’s catalog within 24 hours of TCGPlayer publishing them.

About OCG sets: OCG-only and regional Asian-language sets exist in the catalog as a display reference, but live market pricing is only available for sets that have market data coverage — approximately 94% of sets. OCG-only or very niche sets may show no pricing.

Cards & Variants

Each Yu-Gi-Oh! card in Sideboard carries:

• Card number (e.g., BLZD-EN036) — exactly what’s printed on the card
• Rarity — Secret Rare, Ultra Rare, Starlight Rare, and all others
• Card type — broad category: Monster, Spell, or Trap
• Subtype — the specific variant within that category (e.g., Synchro, XYZ, Link, Fusion, Pendulum for Monsters; Quick-Play, Continuous, Equip, Field for Spells; Counter, Continuous for Traps)
• Attribute — DARK, LIGHT, EARTH, WATER, FIRE, WIND, DIVINE
• Race/Type — Dragon, Spellcaster, Warrior, etc.
• ATK / DEF — including ”?” stats (Slifer, etc.) which are flagged rather than stored as a number
• Link Rating and Link Markers — for Link monsters
• Effect text

There is currently one finish type for Yu-Gi-Oh! (no foil/non-foil split at the product level — rarity handles that distinction in Yu-Gi-Oh!). Future enrichment for Level/Rank, Pendulum Scale, and archetype classification is planned but not yet available.

Pricing

Edition stamps are the most important pricing consideration for Yu-Gi-Oh!

For older sets that were printed in multiple editions, Sideboard tracks separate price rows for:

• 1st Edition — first print run, identified by the “1st Edition” stamp on the card
• Unlimited — subsequent print runs, no stamp
• Limited — some regional/tournament prints

Modern core boosters (current and recent sets) are printed in 1st Edition only, so the edition distinction doesn’t apply. For current product like Blazing Dominion, nearly all price data is 1st Edition.

For vintage sets like Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (LOB), both 1st Edition and Unlimited prices are tracked and are often substantially different.

When adding older cards to a buylist, make sure your buy price rules specify the edition if it matters for your purchasing. Sideboard’s buylist interface lets you set separate prices for each edition.

Prices update every 6 hours for cards in your active inventory, daily for everything else. See How pricing works.

Common Workflows

Browsing the catalog:

• Filter by set, rarity, attribute, card type, or subtype
• Sort by ATK or DEF to browse monsters by stat value
• Use the Subtype filter to find all Xyz monsters, all Link monsters, etc.

Setting up a buylist for a current core booster:

• Edition stamps won’t matter for recent sets (all 1st Edition)
• Set price rules by rarity — Secret Rares and Ultra Rares drive most of the volume

Setting up a buylist for vintage sets:

• Manually set separate prices for 1st Edition vs. Unlimited if you stock both
• Starlight Rares (introduced 2020) are 1st Edition only — no edition consideration

Gotchas

Edition stamps only matter for older sets. Current sets (the last several years of core boosters and most structures) were printed in 1st Edition only. Don’t overcomplicate your rules for modern product.

Reprint sets change the price equation. Cards in Rarity Collections and Battle Packs often have different rarities from their original printings, which creates different price points. These are separate catalog entries from the originals.

“Unlimited” doesn’t mean worthless. For some highly played cards, the Unlimited price is still significant — the edition split is about demand for the stamp, not about the card being bad.

Set code collisions. Some Yu-Gi-Oh! sets share abbreviation codes across different regional prints (e.g., Rise of Destiny has both an English and Asia-English version, both abbreviated “RDS”). Sideboard differentiates them internally — you’ll see them as distinct sets with their full names.
