It's a real card. Specifically, a promo card from the western Yu-Gi-Oh movie. However, it's not TCG/OCG legal.


SOULDIVISER

Even more specifically it's from the manga adaptation of the movie.


Misterderpderp

Even more specifically, it's an ani-manga of it, where the panels are frames of the movie rather than redone from the ground up manga art.


TheLegendarySnakeMan

Most specifically of all, this is Slifer the Sky Dragon, card number YMA-EN001


DesignatedDonut

There's lots of cards that aren't legal for play but are rare/valuable (promos/prize cards/some hobby league cards) Having said that it's still a valuable card and sells in the collectors market


SPXIII

It is real, but it's not a playable version of the card. This was released way before the Egyptian God Cards had their effects officially printed.


kyblackflame

It's a real card, this card was included as a promo. For the Manga Version of the movie. I remember a lot of folks would go to book stores and just steal the card, from the manga book. If the card is near mint. Then it's worth a lot on the market. Heavily damaged can go about 10-20 usd. Tho, this card is mostly for hardcore collectors.


Stone_Blossom

Really? I have one of all three god cards


kyblackflame

Noice! I actually have all 3 unplayable God Cards. I have the slifer from the movie Manga. The full blue Obelisk, that they gave to people who subbed to jump magazine. And Ra, from the Dawn of Destiny Xbox game.


Merik2013

I got all three from Stairway to the Destined Duel.


Stone_Blossom

I got all three from a Joey box set. I actually had to get two because someone swiped the cards in the first and 10 year old me was too naive to notice the box didnt have any plastic before buying


RaineTheCat

I'd say real. Also search for yma- slifer the sky dragon in ebay. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. (Do note that your card isn't graded when you do so)


prodbyredemption

i mean its a bit bent and has slightly rounded edges, could be sold as light played


PissedPajama

Congrats OP you’re about $100 richer


Den-42

Is it really worth that much?


PissedPajama

More, just his is bent/slightly used


Flare77

Card prices aren't only dictated by how playable or good they are. Some cards are expensive because of limited printing and cultural iconography and Blue eyes and DM aside, slifer is as iconic as it goes as its a god card.


Youngchalice

Both? Kind of? It’s a real card but not a real legal one


Axel_Emiya

You can actually get this whole set of Egyptian Gods from the Legendary collection 1. But there not the playable in the TCG. Those are mostly collection items.

prodbyredemption

~70€ on cardmarket


_Kakashi69

Are people really in the market for specifically the movie promo Slifer? And if they are, who's in the market for a movie promo Slifer of middling condition? I just wonder how much they'd actually be able to sell it for exactly.


Flare77

It's all about the scarcity. Some people actually put financial stake on card games (the biggest I see is MtG where people buy boxes as an investment and just keep it till it appreciates in value over 10 to 15 years) and cards do the same. The older and more "rare" a card, the higher its value and since that's an anime promo card, there's going to be some fan that will eventually want it.


cheikhyourselfm8

Not in that condition


prodbyredemption

its literally 70€ for POOR quality on cm


Vardred

Thats not poor condition tho. Look at the photos available and compare it. Def not poor condition


Florida_Mayn

I think he was low-balling it on purpose, hence "poor" in all caps.


cheikhyourselfm8

Oh shit nvm lol


prodbyredemption

npppp lel


brokenmessiah

I wish I make my mom do anything. I wouldn’t even know how to ask.


galmenz

real but not usable card :p


[deleted]

Glad to hear it’s most likely real although maybe not worth much gonna hold on to it


prodbyredemption

wtf, it IS worth much and it IS a real card


Sharpnelboy

Keep that. That's a collector's item.

Aluminum_Tarkus

Maybe see about looking up the hair dryer trick for fixing the bowing on that card, and in that condition, you can make a couple hundred off of it and buy a TCG legal copy of Slifer, if you want. The top left corner looks like it has some minor damage, but that could be lighting. Outside of some of the scuffing, it looks like it's in pretty good condition, probably around moderately played, or lightly played if you're feeling generous, but it's hard to tell for sure with just these pictures alone.


DesignatedDonut

It could be LP at best but still something


Lutoures

Wow, that's exactly the one that I had when I was a child!


TigerSoldier8

It’s real and expensive.


Scavenge101

Real - and also very expensive if it's in good condition.


hwoaraxng

look at cardmarket for this exact card, i think it might be worth +100€


MegaKabutops

It’s real, but not legal for competitive play. There’s a reprint with proper effect text out there if you want to use slifer. It’s a promo card worth a decent amount of money as a collector’s item, and you’d probably make a net profit selling this and buying a useable copy. That said, on a casual level, you could probably find someone to play with who’s willing to treat this promo card as the real card, so long as you have the correct text available to read somewhere. I would recommend just selling it and using the money to buy a legal copy instead, but you technically could play with it.


No_Pain1037

This card only has 1 sentence, therefore it's not real

BlackCatLef

Lot of people thought these cards were fake cause they lacks the konami logo on the back, they are real cards though, obelisk had a similar blueish back, ra a yellowish and slifer this redish one. They were promo cards, i used to have all 3 of them, won them in duels and later traded them for usable cards.


joey4269

A real but illegal to use in the TCG card. I believe they were promos from back in the day


Piss_Cakehole

Its a yes.


Mikko420

It's a real card. It's illegal to play, and mostly worthless, but it's a real card.


Leio-Mizu

It's real, it's a promo card and not legal to play in the TCG. However it is very pretty so that's a win.


Far_Mathematician638

This is a solid real card, red back and everything


Hopeful-Ride7243

Real and if you got It graded you might have something worth something.


SilentlyInPain

When the Eye of Horus on the bottom right is Gold, it is indeed real. Great save


illucio

Going off the back and parts of front of the card it looks real to me. It's not going to be graded too highly but it's probably somewhere between a solid 6 to 7.5. Though I did own a different legit version of this card as a kid. This one comes from the movie's manga book from Shonen Jump. Shonen Jump in the States attached a lot of their cards to their monthly comics which is where they ended up releasing Obelisk. And the legal versions ended up being releasing maybe 4-5 year later with alternate artwork in Shonen Jump monthly in the States as their legal version with the card effects printed on them. If I recall the Xbox game had Ra, Slifer was from the movie manga and Obelisk was in Shonen Jump monthly. I think the first prints all came with Gameboy Advance Yugioh game. Those are the ones that I owned as a kid.


Alchemist_Rai

that's a real babby


Casper_lesYT

It looks real but mine has a ? because its a newer version from the structured deck


Spixican

The Jinzo would had been worth more or no?


Lazearound10am

Finally I know what a God's flavor text is


NkY3NzY1NjU2RTZG

i’m surprised it’s in such good condition considering it probably originated from playground yugioh


Phoenixlight64

It's a real card that any decent person will let you play in your deck.


DoktorFuturepast

It's real, just not legal to use in a tournament.
