📸 Photo Tips for YGO Cards

These tips are specific to Yu-Gi-Oh! card identification — the unique design elements that help our AI match your card.

1

Photograph the bottom-left corner clearly — the 8-digit passcode is a key identifier

2

Include the set code (e.g. BODE-EN001) in the bottom-right — this pinpoints the exact printing

3

For Ghost Rare cards, use diffuse lighting — the holographic foil pattern is part of the identification

4

Show the card border clearly — the gold border on Ultimate Rares is an identification marker

5

For old LOB/MRD era cards, the passcode and artwork style are primary identification tools

6

Photograph the eye of Anubis (bottom-right copyright symbol) — its style changes by era
