Why is Borreload Savage Dragon RA01-EN033 price going up?
If you have been keeping an eye on the secondary market for the Yu-Gi-Oh! 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection, you likely noticed a significant movement in the value of Borreload Savage Dragon [Quarter Century Secret Rare] (RA01-033). As of May 3, 2026, the price for an ungraded copy has surged from $11.64 to $15.55, representing a massive 33.59% increase.
This isn't just a minor fluctuation. When we look at the broader market, the movement in high-rarity cards from the Rarity Collection is creating a ripple effect across both the raw and graded markets. For collectors, the most important question isn't just why the price moved, but whether the premium for high-grade slabs is expanding or contracting alongside these raw price spikes.
Is the Borreload Savage Dragon price spike permanent?
The jump to $15.55 for an ungraded Borreload Savage Dragon [Quarter Century Secret Rare] (RA01-EN033) is the headline of the day, but to understand if this is a "blip" or a trend, we have to look at the 30-day horizon. While the 7-day data shows this 33.59% climb, the suddenness of the move suggests a recent burst of buying pressure.
Interestingly, the movement in the graded market for this card shows a very high premium for top-tier grades. While an ungraded copy sits at $15.55, a PSA 10 specimen is commanding $56.10, and a BGS 10 is reaching $73. The "PSA 10 premium"—the gap between the raw price and the Gem Mint 10 price—is exceptionally wide here. This indicates that while the raw market is getting more expensive, the scarcity of perfect specimens remains the primary driver for high-end investors. If you are looking at lower grades, a PSA/BGS 8–8.5 sits at $30.96, which is nearly double the current raw price, suggesting that even "near-mint" ungraded copies are currently a much more cost-effective entry point than jumping into slabs.
Sea Monster of Theseus MP17-EN231 price increase explained
While Borreload Savage Dragon grabbed the headlines, Sea Monster of Theseus (MP17-EN231) from the YuGiOh 2017 Mega-Tin Mega Pack saw the largest percentage gain of the day, skyrocketing 43.06% from $7.20 to $10.30.
This move is particularly notable because it is a vintage-adjacent piece from a 2017 release. Unlike the newer Rarity Collection cards, the movement here is reflected heavily in the graded tiers. A PSA 10 for this card is priced at $85.89, which is a massive leap from the $10.30 raw price. The disparity between the $10.30 ungraded price and the $112 BGS 10 price suggests that collectors are specifically targeting pristine copies of this Mega-Tin era card. For those buying raw, the $10.30 price point is still relatively accessible, but the "ceiling" for collectors is much higher.
Are T.G. Limiter Removal and Ice Ryzeal showing a trend?
We are seeing a secondary wave of growth in the "Specialty" and "New Release" categories. T.G. Limiter Removal [Quarter Century Secret Rare] (AGOV-EN049) from YuGiOh Age of Overlord has climbed 29.59%, moving from $8.38 to $10.86.
Much like the Borreload Savage Dragon, the graded market for this card shows a significant gap. A PSA 10 is valued at $76.71. When you compare that to the $10.86 raw price, the premium is quite high, though perhaps slightly less extreme than the Sea Monster of These Rex.
Similarly, Ice Ryzeal (MP25-EN119) from the YuGiOh 2025 Mega Pack Tin has seen a 22.95% increase, rising from $4.27 to $5.25. This is a much "tighter" market; the PSA 10 is $58.05, which is a huge jump, but the PSA/BGS 8–8.5 is only $14.52. This suggests that for newer, lower-cost cards like Ice Ryzeal, the value is heavily concentrated in the "perfect" grades, whereas the raw market remains very affordable.
