Cardfight Vanguard has 70+ rarities, and here's what the top of the alphabet soup is worth
Cardfight Vanguard’s rarity system is a legend of its own — 70+ distinct codes. We priced 21,632 singles across 268 sets to cut through the alphabet soup and show what actually holds value.
70+ rarities, but the money is in a handful of codes
For all its complexity, Cardfight Vanguard behaves like any high-bulk TCG: the median card is $0.47 and 64% trade under $1. The value is concentrated in a thin apex — the SEC, SECV, ASR and 15thSP tiers (median $100–$310) — while the dozens of base and mid codes (C, R, RR, RRR, SP) sit near the overall median. The top card, a Dragheart, Luard (ASR), runs ~$850.
