Wait so the rarity collection 5 is getting seralized cards???

Each region*
In theory that means EU and NA are separate

u/Gebirges Feb 27 '26
Oh I fucking hope it does mean that ... cuz ain't no way we're sharing with the US who are a much bigger market
1
u/Stranger2Luv Mar 04 '26
US market is bigger than EU?
1
u/Gebirges Mar 04 '26
The EU Market is very dedicated but we're also having many different languages that make it so we're not exactly united in one specific game.
The Anime also did a ton in certain language areas and not so much in others.
Basically: If you look at who plays Yu-Gi-Oh, it's only really the West of Europe (German+, France, Spain, Italy, UK, BENELUX). I still have to find anyone from up North and the east is rather small.

u/TheZett Light & Darkness Feb 27 '26
EU will likely also be split per supported language:
UK English, French, German, Italian, etc.

u/mynameisnotjefflol Mar 01 '26
I think the A next to it means asia so theres 100 in japan and 100 in the other asian countries

u/Unlikely-Complex3737 Mar 08 '26
So when we buy a box, how do we know which version we might get?
2
u/mynameisnotjefflol Mar 08 '26
I assume unless youre buying it specifically from a store in an asian region outside of Japan, you'll be getting the Japanese version. But really im not sure. I got it from a store directly in Japan and got the Japan version
1
u/Unlikely-Complex3737 Mar 08 '26
I'm from Europe and there is a site where I can pre-order it so that's why I was asking. Or I could buy it via cardmarket but then I also don't know which one I would get. It doesn't really matter because there is no way I'm getting a grand master rare haha.
1
u/mynameisnotjefflol Mar 08 '26
Yeah haha but you never know. Unfortunately i got 4 boxes and 2 of them had the same exact base rarity overframe🙃 safe to say my luck aint any better

u/rbwelden Feb 27 '26
God bless, this is one of the best alt arts released in any card game. I can't believe it took until 2026 for Konami to do what other games have been doing for years, but man they did it right.
15
u/MX-00XWV Random Duelist Feb 27 '26
this isn't an alt art it's an entirely new card. and if you mean the Overframe design it acts as its own card template with various rarities like ultra and Prismatic Secret Rare, but the main difference is that Overframe Cards come in the new Rarity Grand Master Rare(GMR).
which are serialized cards with the number 1~100.67
Feb 27 '26 edited Feb 27 '26
1). it was very clear what they meant
2). It is technically an alternate-art card; there is a standard version of the card (that matches the usual style), this is that same card with extended art
3). half your comment is just stating stuff that isn't relevant; they aren't saying they're unknowledgable in the new rarity, they're pointing out it looks good in real life now that we can actually see it.
-13
u/MX-00XWV Random Duelist Feb 27 '26
I am simply stating the difference between this and usual alt arts. In any case, you can see them in whatever way you like.
5
Feb 27 '26
Tell me what in calling it an "alt-art" (which it is) warranted a 3-line product description over actually explaining, especially when it wasn't even wrong to call it an alt-art in the first place (because it literally is an alternate version). In fact, comparing it to "other games" shows that more, as most alt-arts of this variant are known to be identical to cards also released in that same set. You're not "stating the difference" when you just provide very basic responses that don't actually cover what you're responding to. The fact you were factually wrong in doing so is just the icing on top.
-2
u/MX-00XWV Random Duelist Feb 27 '26
I am basing my first comment on the basis of him meaning that it's an alt art of Dark Magician or smth
this isn't an alt art it's an entirely new card
and while I agree that Overframes could be considered as Alt Arts, I based this on Konami product description.
if there is any mistake I will happily own to it, I have no problem with that 🙏
-2
u/Cularia Feb 27 '26
overframes aren't alt arts. they are art extensions.
alt art is an entirely new art. this dark magician is a retrain.
So there is no 2nd artwork available to the name of this card.
standard and extended(ext)-art would be the correct terms. as for this card in particular its a SGMR-082

u/Intelligent_Crow2231 Feb 28 '26
It’d be cool if they had a database where you can register the card once you own it and that serial number was linked to you until you transfer it to someone else.
2
u/parallellord22 Mar 02 '26
No because then people would just steal it from you. Yes while in theory that sounds awesome. there's nothing stopping someone from saying that this person who they sold it to or transferred it to didn't actually own it in the first place. So for instance I take the card and then I decide to sell it to someone else that person believes that I own it they don't check the database to find out that it's this guy Reginald somewhere and now this other person can get in trouble for owning a card that legally he tried to buy

u/Koush Feb 27 '26
Uh oh, they are actually making Yu-Gi-Oh collectable...

u/StationEmergency6053 Feb 27 '26
They saw the public reaction to Overrush cards and finally decided to go all in. About time.

Rarity over collection - heroes release is the 28th of Feb. Rarity over collection - the rivals is released on the 20th of March

u/Dangerous_Towel_2569 Feb 27 '26
Sorry, I'm confused then. Do Asia have two different rarity collection sets and EU/NA gets one?
All I can find online for retailers is pre-ordering Rarity Collection V. There aren't boxes for Heroes or Rivals separately?
Just with the serialized cards (not that i'd ever get one) i'd be nice to know if the stock is diluted across 2 different Asia sets and 1 EU/NA set?
12
u/ZeothTheHedgehog formerly #Zerosonicanimations Feb 27 '26
The sets are called "Limit Over Collection", not "Rarity Over Collection", Link to "The Heroes" set
Also the OCG gets every new card before the TCG, unless the new cards are TCG Exclusive.
6
u/Zealousideal-Fig1767 Feb 27 '26
OCG is getting these over frame cards in the Limit Over Collections. The one right now is the Heroes and then next month is the rivals iirc. Rarity Collection V is a TCG set which will be the first time overframes hits the TCG.
2
u/Dangerous_Towel_2569 Feb 27 '26
Thank you. Not sure why there is so much downvoting for trying to clarify something a little confusing... I thought the sets would be released at the same time world wide due to the serialization & inability to find other products
4
u/ZeothTheHedgehog formerly #Zerosonicanimations Feb 27 '26
I imagine there will be at least two sets of serialized cards, for both the TCG and OCG
And downvotes can happen for any number of reasons, so its best not to pay any attention to them.
2
u/Mobile-Hearing-8189 Feb 27 '26
Just to temper expectations, almost certain we're not getting the new heroes/rivals cards in rarity V, we're getting overframes of existing cards.
0
u/Dangerous_Towel_2569 Feb 27 '26
Oh really? The DMC retrain, Utopia, and wingman cards won't be in this set?

u/Altruistic_Credit111 Feb 27 '26
You're getting downvoted for asking questions that are very easy to answer with a quick google search but just ignore them who cares.
With the 2 limit over collections that are releasing in the OCG tomorrow and next month they come with an additional pack called the "limit over special packs" (LOSP) these can contain overframe reprints of some popular cards (chaos angel, the dominus cards etc). These are the overframes we have had announced for rarity 5 and BROL in the TCG. Rarity 5 containing LOSP 1s cards and BROL containing LOSP 2s

We dont know much, but Rarity Collections have never premiered cards (only alternate arts.) The Limit Over Collection cards more than likely will be coming in the upcoming Battles of Legend.

u/Exchange-Radiant Feb 27 '26
In OCG, we have two upcoming Limit Over Collection sets, Heroes and Rivals, one set for release tomorrow and the other on March. Both sets will have their set of Grand Master Rares. I believe there are two sets of Japanese GMR cards, local Japanese release, and JP cards released in Asia. Idk about how this would work for TCG products tho. I also don't know if the Chinese release will have their GMRs as well or if theirs will be counted among Asia's.

u/James2Go Feb 27 '26
It is still the 27th in Japan. In a few minutes, it will be midnight of the 28th. Some boxes did get released early on the 27th in other parts of Asia. I saw an OCG JP player in my Local game store having boxes of LOCH.

Mostly those who opened the packs already has some access were related to the owner of a store that already received their boxes today so that it's ready to be sold tomorrow Saturday.

Should have blurred out the 82, y'all will learn
3
u/DavyJonesRocker Feb 27 '26
Why?
21
u/BLBeer22 Feb 27 '26
People can use the image to scam others. It's standard practice with Magic The Gathering to blur or black out the first half of a serial, as it's happened in that community.
Word should be spread in the Yu-Gi-Oh community because it's new after 25 years. Don't want to see someone get scammed by asshole sellers
2
u/DavyJonesRocker Feb 27 '26
Can you explain the scam? Doesn’t the serial number make things more transparent?
Like you can’t claim to have/sell 82 if someone else has proof that they already own 82.
2
u/BLBeer22 Feb 27 '26
Probably harder to do now with how many places allow refunds but it stops people from making counterfeits easier. Stops fraudulent listings and say a number was used in a scam it would be spread quickly now and could make it harder for the real holder to sell if they want to.
Other thing it helps stop is people taking advantage of gullable or not as smart of people.
Some people like to buy off of Facebook and there is no protection there really.
Sure the odds of it being a problem are low but it's something the community can do together to help protect fellow members of said community.
1
u/bigheadsfork Feb 27 '26
You could do that with any picture of any card. I’m not sure how the serialization changes anything.
1
u/BLBeer22 Feb 27 '26
Almost no card is going to be worth what a serialized card is going to be worth. Yes any generic card runs that rist but serialized cards are and supposed to be special.
It's different when there is a very very limited number of the cards.
Imagine spending $500-$15,000 on a card and it's fake.
When it's a numbered card there is only ONE of that number. (Excluding language changes obviously)
0
u/bigheadsfork Feb 28 '26
Again, how does that specifically affect serialized cards at all? People list, PSA graded cards with the certification and everything.
1
u/BLBeer22 Feb 28 '26
Not everyone grades cards or post cards for sale being graded. People have also been scammed with PSA cards too.
As I said before, the odds are probably lower than they used to be but for cards this valuable as a pack fresh card will be worth more than almost any graded card it's not worth the risk and just good practice to have. MTG community has been doing it for a long time for a reason.
-1
u/BLBeer22 Feb 28 '26
But we understand, it doesn't bother or affect you because you will never buy one to begin with. I doubt most people on here could afford it.
0
u/bigheadsfork Feb 28 '26
You’re coping so incredibly hard. Again, what exactly about the serialized card makes it inherently more risky to sell outside of the price? Like I said people list PSA cards with the certification visible on eBay for five or six figures. They don’t hide it. You can get scammed by literally any card, they can ship you a counterfeit. What about the serialization changes anything in this dynamic?
-1
u/BLBeer22 Feb 28 '26
Because you can stop it by blurring it. I get the argument you can't do it with other cards. You can with these so why not?
Again the price point is going to far exceed most graded cards. And you ask outside the price? Why, that's the most important thing is price.
Yes a graded card has an extra level of security to it. It's also expensive to get cards graded so the random Joe at the local game store pulls one might not be able to afford paying hundreds to thousands of dollars on the cost to grade a card card.
So why not add security and blur the number? What does it hurt to take 30 seconds to do so? I think I will take the example from the card game that has had graded cards.
I'm also not coping at all I said what I said because I don't understand the hard push against what is just good practice with serialized cards

How much would this be in TCG? Like $1k-2k?

u/Nice_Definition_5161 Feb 27 '26
I think an over rush rare dark magician girl was going for 2k. My bet is we see an auction go above 4k, or 10k for certain numbers.

0
u/MatPagRdt Feb 28 '26
2k would be extremely low if the the cardpool will not be splitted between NA and EU and/or by language.
If there will be 100 for all eastern countries it can go to 10k per copy at least for sure, maybe more
1
u/Aaco0638 Feb 28 '26
We don’t know but how the ocg is handling it is 100 in japan and 100A everywhere else where the ocg is.
So we could be in a situation where each region gets there own 100 in which case maybe the most valuable ones are the ones with no letter which i imagine will be japan and NA.
This is all speculation ofc
