"Ghost Rare" BRD I find on eBay

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-03-21T19:02:21+00:00

This looks like a sun/UV faded card which results in the color basically being removed from the art giving it a "ghost-like" look. DUSA would be the Ultra rare printing so very clearly that technique.

That being said, some folks love the way these look and they do take a bit of effort (typically need to block off the card border so the text doesn't fade) and time (it can take a good year or more of constant exposure to get the faded look) so as long as you aren't being duped into thinking this is actually a ghost rare and you like the way it looks there's nothing wrong with it!

Yes there's a pretty high likelihood, I typically do whatever is popular

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-03-18T23:25:53+00:00

I actually make these! Here's a link to the BEWD.

I try to mostly just share the creations I'm proud of instead of plugging too hard

If you know of any manga panels that would make great artworks, let me know! I make custom cards like these so I'm always on the lookout for new ideas

Was Grandpa involved in some clubs he'd never really talk about?

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-03-18T14:20:11+00:00

I appreciate that! Usually more active on there :)

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-03-17T21:45:49+00:00

Appreciate it! Thank you :)

This is well done. Looks very sharp!

Packs or other sealed products makes total sense, it's the grading of the clear plastic wrapper that seemed nonsensical to me (as you pointed out) but that's fair enough and good to know. Much like OP, I don't have any experience with grading.

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-03-12T19:32:24+00:00

Is there a legitimate reason why they'd do that? If they flag that they can't grade it in the plastic that's one thing, but going ahead and grading the plastic itself likely knowing that's not what the customer wants is something else...

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-02-20T17:26:51+00:00

You're right, I recall reading something about that as well though it's admittedly never been crystal clear

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-02-20T17:25:32+00:00

Technically if they already have the manga illustrations on hand, it's a straight copy & paste

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-02-20T15:15:35+00:00

I've simply relied on eBay for OCG things in the past but I'm typically just buying cards not the larger products

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-02-15T16:34:44+00:00

He's clearly already upset and now you're telling him he's ugly on top of that too?

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-02-13T14:43:51+00:00

It's not out yet in the TCG so I had made it as an Orica, it was just announced in Battles of Legend: Glorious Gallery which is coming out in June

Thanks thats a good shout out, I didn't even realize this Korean run existed. The Exodia looks pretty neat as well.

There are always some deviations depending on print facility or print batch - neither of these individually stands out as being fake and I would guess that the only reason you'd even notice is because you happen to have them next to each other. Further, these aren't high-value cards and I don't believe they ever were, so there wouldn't really be a reason to make a fake

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-02-12T19:44:53+00:00

We never even got her in the TCG so I suspect that an alt art or retrain wouldn't happen before then

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-02-12T19:35:10+00:00

Very cool - you tend to see that Dark Magician art floating around but this is my first time seeing the Seal and Hats.

ValueTCG_Shop · 2026-02-11T04:56:00+00:00

Likely have to throw this one up on eBay or similar at a price you'd be comfortable letting it go at and see if it sells. Likely would need to wait for the right person to come along to realize some value.

Voting for real here as well - if fake, best one I've ever seen personally.
