The ultimate collector’s item, I guess.
It is clarified that Grandmaster Rares are 100 copies per card, with cards having a Serial Number between 001 and 100, making these some of the rarest cards in the entire game.
Real Life Samples:
Grandmaster Rare
A regular Over Frame
Also, it was previously stated this new rarity would be a Prismatic Secret Rare with a Serial Number. That is no longer the case. The following changes have been announced for the Limit Over Collections:
【Configuration Changes】

※ All cards come in Prismatic Secret Rare & Secret Rare
※ 18 of the Prismatic Secret Rares come in Over Frame Cards (i.e. Extended Art)
※ 18 of the Ultra Rares come in the new rarity “Grandmaster Rare” that comes with a Serial Number.
※ 18 of the Ultra Rares come in Over Frame Cards (i.e. Extended Art)
※ 21 of the Super Rares come in Ultimate Rare
※ 21 of the Super Rares come in Collector’s Rare

Cool, as if the game didn’t need more crap that makes the game even more expensive. Konami greedy af
This is the “good” way to make expensive things in the game.
Lower rarities of the card to people play (at an accessible price),
rare/cosmetic versions of the cards to carry the value.
Pokémon does this since forever and works well.
Same thing that happened to Pokémon. It went from a game that everyone can enjoy to just scalpers buying up everything and selling them for outrageous prices.

Pokémon is the WORST example you can make considering how scalpers are a absolute blight to the tcg
the replies are acting like pokemon is bad for players? it’s sick for players. annoying for collectors, but most of the ygo audience is players atp.
we also don’t have nearly the brand recognition of pokemon. even if this works, we will never hit pokemon levels off of this.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is basically there version of Duel Links.
The closest I’ve ever come to a Grandmaster Rare, was back in the first Pokemon set. The Pikachu in that set all had yellow cheeks in their art, and at the time only… I think it was 4 “pages/sheets” (which comes to only 484 copies in the US) of that particular Pikachu having red cheeks was actually printed. and I had one.
No idea where it is now.
Bro what part of this makes the game more expensive? these are only for collectors, theres base ultra rares of all these cards thatll be cheap for everyone else.
Since this is for Japan only good luck to people from other countries getting these for there collections.
These will be imported in the same manner to the TCG, they already announced it.
Oh my mistake I through the Grandmaster rare was for Rush duels only.
Really made those Etsy Fanmade Yugioh Card into a real rarity
