Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG
Yu-Gi-Oh! card scanner and card value checker
TCG Vault scans Yu-Gi-Oh! cards on iPhone and tells you what they are worth. Point the camera at a card and TCG Vault finds it by its set code and artwork, then shows the market price of each printing, from 1st Edition to Unlimited, refreshed daily and in your own currency.
The same card can be worth a few cents in one set and hundreds of dollars in another, so the set code matters more in Yu-Gi-Oh! than in most games. Below: what the scanner reads, the most valuable cards right now, and how TCG Vault compares with Neuron and Dragon Shield.

How to check a Yu-Gi-Oh! card’s value with your iPhone
-
Step 1
Pick Yu-Gi-Oh! and point the camera
Choose Yu-Gi-Oh! in the game menu at the top of the scanner and hold the card flat inside the frame.
-
Step 2
TCG Vault reads the card
On-device text recognition reads the set code under the artwork on the right, such as MAMO-EN001 or LOB-001, and TCG Vault matches the artwork against its Yu-Gi-Oh! catalog to find the exact printing.
-
Step 3
See the price, save the card
The market price, refreshed daily and shown in your own currency, appears with the card. Add it to a collection and the collection’s total value updates.
On each card you see its name, set, collector number, rarity and market price. Premium adds 1-, 3- and 6-month price history, more than one collection and a direct link to the card on the marketplace. Auto mode keeps scanning as you swap cards and flags duplicates, which helps with a stack of new pulls.
What to check on a Yu-Gi-Oh! card
-
01
The set code decides the price
Popular cards are reprinted in dozens of sets. The code under the artwork (set abbreviation, language and slot, as in LOB-EN001) is what tells a 2002 Blue-Eyes White Dragon from a recent reprint, so keep it sharp and free of glare.
-
02
Check the edition: 1st Edition or Unlimited
“1st Edition” or “LIMITED EDITION” printed below the artwork marks the first print run, which usually sells for more. Unlimited reprints have no edition text. TCG Vault lists each printing’s price, so pick the one on your card.
-
03
Rarity is in the foil, not in a symbol
Yu-Gi-Oh! cards carry no rarity letter. A silver name means Rare, holo art Super Rare, a gold name Ultra Rare, a rainbow name Secret Rare, and the newest sets add Starlight, Quarter Century and Grand Master rares. When the same card exists in two rarities in one set, compare the foil before you save.
-
04
Language and region are in the code too
EN, FR, DE, IT, PT and SP mark the TCG languages; JP and KR mark OCG cards from Asia, which are a different product. TCG Vault’s Yu-Gi-Oh! catalog covers the English-language TCG cards sold on TCGplayer.
TCG Vault and other Yu-Gi-Oh! scanner apps
Konami’s Neuron reads cards for deck building but shows no prices, and Dragon Shield prices Yu-Gi-Oh! in an app of its own. TCG Vault shows what each Yu-Gi-Oh! card is worth next to everything else you collect.
Why collectors use TCG Vault for Yu-Gi-Oh!
- Yu-Gi-Oh! and eleven other games in one app, so a mixed collection doesn’t need a scanner per game.
- Market prices refreshed daily and shown in your own currency (30+ currencies), with the Cardmarket price next to the TCGplayer one wherever Cardmarket lists the card.
- A running total of what your collection is worth, with 1-, 3- and 6-month price history on Premium.
- Auto mode for stacks: keep swapping cards and it keeps scanning, flagging the duplicates.

When another app fits better
- Yu-Gi-Oh! Neuron fits better if you play in official events: Neuron registers decks and answers card questions, but it does not price cards.
- YGO Scanner – Dragon Shield fits better if your cards come in several languages: it recognizes cards in any language and translates them.
- TCGplayer fits better if you buy and sell on TCGplayer: scanning is free and the marketplace is built in.
Yu-Gi-Oh! card scanner FAQ
What is the best Yu-Gi-Oh! card scanner app?
For prices and collection value, TCG Vault: it reads the set code and artwork, shows each printing’s market price in your currency and keeps a running value of your collection across 12 games. Konami’s Neuron is the pick for deck registration and rulings (it shows no prices), Dragon Shield for cards in other languages, and the TCGplayer app if you buy on TCGplayer.
Is there a free Yu-Gi-Oh! card scanner?
Yes. Neuron and the TCGplayer app scan for free, and TCG Vault is free to download with 3 scans a day; unlimited scanning is part of its Premium subscription.
How do I find out what my Yu-Gi-Oh! cards are worth?
Match the exact printing: the set code under the artwork, the edition (1st Edition or Unlimited) and the rarity. Scanning with TCG Vault does the first part and lists every printing with its current market price; you then pick the edition printed on your card.
Does TCG Vault tell 1st Edition from Unlimited?
It lists them separately with their own prices, because they sell for different amounts. The edition is a line of small text below the artwork, so check your card and choose that printing before you save it.
Can I scan Japanese or Asian-English Yu-Gi-Oh! cards?
TCG Vault’s Yu-Gi-Oh! catalog covers the English-language TCG cards sold on TCGplayer. OCG cards (Japanese, Korean, Asian-English) are separate products with their own prices and are not in the catalog yet.
Which Yu-Gi-Oh! sets does TCG Vault cover?
On October 4, 2026 the catalog held 39,570 Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from 616 sets and promo groups, taken from TCGplayer’s catalog and updated as new sets come out. The newest: Magnificent Monsters, Limited Pack World Championship 2026, Legendary Arc-V Decks.
