This article will showcase some of the rarest Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG cards that you might want to look out for, if you have the chance to visit this spectacular roadshow.

 

 

This Ultra Rare Kanan the Swordmistress was given out to the participants and spectators of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters National Championship that was held on 21 February 1999.

There were around 400 copies given out.

This card currently goes for ¥138,000.

 

 

This Secret Rare Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was the 1st prize for the winners of the Duelist Legend in TOKYO DOME tournament that was held on 26 August 1999.

Only 2 copies were given out to the OCG tournament champion and to the Game Boy “Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories” tournament champion.

A copy of this Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon‎ was sold for ¥1,200,000 on Yahoo! Auction in 2012, making this one of the most expensive tournament-legal Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG card.

However, the one on display is unlikely to be one of the two copies that was given out back in 1999, but rather a prototype test print that Konami has been keeping.
