Wishes for Eyes of Blue Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Appraisal
Category: Trading Card
Description
This is a "Wishes for Eyes of Blue" Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card. It is a Spell Card, as indicated by the text in the upper right corner. The card features a holographic illustration of a large blue dragon with powerful wings, possibly the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", with a smaller humanoid figure standing below it. The holographic effect creates a rainbow sheen across the illustration. The card has a standard Yu-Gi-Oh! card design with a green border indicating it is a Spell card. The text box at the bottom of the card details the card's effect: allowing the player to discard a card to add a Level 1 LIGHT Tuner or a Spell/Trap that mentions "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from their Deck to their hand, excluding itself. It also has an effect that allows the player to banish the card from the graveyard to equip a "Blue-Eyes" monster from the Extra Deck to a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" they control, granting it 400 ATK. The card is marked with the card number H23326403 in the bottom left corner. The copyright information, "©2020 Studio Dice/SHUEISHA, TV TOKYO, KONAMI", is visible along the bottom edge. The card appears to be in good condition, housed within a protective plastic sleeve, with no obvious signs of wear, creases, or damage visible in the image. The print and holographic quality appear high, consistent with official Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards. The back of the card is not visible.
Appraisal Report
Upon visual examination of the provided image of the "Wishes for Eyes of Blue" Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card, I can confirm its identity based on the card name, artwork featuring the distinctive blue dragon, text box content detailing the spell effect, card number H23326403, and copyright information. The card appears to be in excellent condition, housed in a protective sleeve, showing no visible signs of creases, tears, corner wear, or surface damage. The print quality and holographic effect seem consistent with official Konami productions. The artwork and border accurately reflect a Spell card. This card is a relatively modern release, having been printed in 2020 based on the copyright. While functional in "Blue-Eyes" decks, it is not considered a high-rarity or highly sought-after card by collectors compared to original printings or extremely rare variants. Market research on platforms like TCGPlayer and eBay completed listings indicates a low current market value for this particular card in near-mint condition. The demand is primarily driven by players utilizing "Blue-Eyes" archetypes rather than by collectors of rare items. Without physical inspection, I cannot definitively verify the card's authenticity beyond visual cues. A thorough in-person examination would allow for tactile assessment of card stock, microscopic analysis of print details and holographic patterns, and potential blacklight testing for security features. Provenance documentation detailing the card's history would also strengthen authentication.
