Four cards a pack, fifteen packs a box, 100 card types: the Yugioh Original Artwork Collection (YAC1) is a Konami special pack built from the cards and scenes of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. Konami’s official product page, as printed on October 21, 2026, gives the release as September 26, 2026 and the price as ¥396 per pack including tax; the official card database shows the same date (公開日 2026年09月26日).
The 100 types split into 25 Ultra Rare, 45 Super Rare and 30 Ultra Rare MANGA-STYLE cards, the last group recreating the card designs drawn in the original manga. On top of those, 38 types also exist as Prismatic Secret Rare and ten Ultra Rare types exist as serial-numbered Grandmaster Rare cards, according to the same page.
We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.

- Extra versions named in Konami’s notes: Secret Rare, Prismatic Secret Rare (38 types), Over Frame cards, Ultimate Rare (14), Collector’s Rare (14) and Grandmaster Rare (10).
- The official card database lists all 100 cards with Japanese names and rarity codes.
- Our YAC1 box is currently listed at ¥8,500 (~$55).
As of October 21, 2026 the official card database page for YAC1 prints 全100枚 (100 cards) and the release date 2026年09月26日.
What YAC1 Is: Konami’s Official Description
Konami’s official Japanese product index files YAC1 under the category スペシャルパック (special pack) with the name 遊☆戯☆王 ORIGINAL ARTWORK COLLECTION. The product page describes a special pack of cards that take their motifs from the cards and scenes of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.
Three features are called out on that page:
- MANGA-STYLE cards. They recreate the card designs drawn in the original manga, and the page tells collectors to watch for them. The product page counts 30 card types of this kind, all Ultra Rare.
- Serial-numbered Grandmaster Rare cards. Each card included as a Grandmaster Rare carries a serial number from 001 to 100.
- A campaign-only card returns. カオス・ソルジャー, a Normal Monster that was previously handed out only at campaigns, is reprinted in the latest card format, and the page adds that some cards are reprinted for the first time. The database lists カオス・ソルジャー as YAC1-JP026.
Our own product page words the concept this way: “Special set (YAC1) that revisits the original ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ manga: iconic monsters and memorable scenes are reborn as new card artwork, together with MANGA-STYLE cards that recreate the card designs drawn in the original manga.”
YAC1 at a Glance: Official Specs

|---|---|
| Official name | 遊☆戯☆王 ORIGINAL ARTWORK COLLECTION |
| Category | スペシャルパック (special pack) |
| Release date | September 26, 2026 (Saturday) |

| Caution on the page | Product specifications may change (商品の仕様は変更になる場合があります) |
The page prints a price per pack and no box price, so a box price is not an official figure.
The 25 / 45 / 30 Rarity Split
The product page prints the rarity split in one line: Ultra Rare 25 types, Super Rare 45 types, Ultra Rare (MANGA-STYLE) 30 types. The database numbering reproduces that split block by block, which makes the number a quick way to locate a card.
| Block | Database numbers | Base rarity | Card types |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | YAC1-JP001 to JP025 | Ultra Rare (UR) | 25 |
| 2 | YAC1-JP026 to JP070 | Super Rare (SR) | 45 |
| 3 | YAC1-JP071 to JP100 | Ultra Rare (UR) | 30 |
| Total | YAC1-JP001 to JP100 | 100 |
YAC1-JP071 to JP100 are 30 Ultra Rare cards in the database, the same count as the 30 Ultra Rare (MANGA-STYLE) card types on the product page. The database prints no MANGA-STYLE label, and no monochrome or colour label, on any YAC1 card.
Extra Versions: Prismatic, Grandmaster, Over Frame and More
Konami’s notes on the product page add further versions of the same card types.
| Version | Konami’s note (paraphrased) | Types | Database numbers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Secret Rare (SE) | Exists for the Ultra Rare and Super Rare cards. The Ultra Rare (MANGA-STYLE) cards have a Secret Rare version in both monochrome and colour. | 100 in the database | JP001–JP100 |
| Prismatic Secret Rare (PSE) | Exists for 38 of the 100 types. | 38 | JP001–JP025, JP032, JP038, JP040, JP047, JP049, JP050, JP056, JP057, JP060, JP062, JP063, JP065, JP070 |
| Over Frame | 10 of the 38 Prismatic Secret Rare types are Over Frame cards, and 10 of the Ultra Rare cards also exist as Over Frame cards. | 10 + 10 | Not a rarity code in the database list |
| Grandmaster Rare (GMR) | Exists for 10 Ultra Rare types. Each card is serial-numbered from 001 to 100 and no serial number repeats. | 10 | JP001–JP010 |
| Ultimate Rare (UL) | Exists for 14 Super Rare types. | 14 | JP026, JP033, JP036, JP039, JP042, JP045, JP048, JP049, JP051, JP053, JP056, JP057, JP063, JP064 |
| Collector’s Rare (CR) | Exists for 14 Super Rare types. | 14 | JP027–JP031, JP034, JP035, JP037, JP041, JP046, JP054, JP061, JP062, JP068 |
Our postsPrismatic Secret Rare in Yu-Gi-Oh OCG Explained and Yu-Gi-Oh OCG Rarity Guide: Quarter Century Secret Rare, Prismatic and More cover these rarities in more detail.
Konami’s note on the Grandmaster Rare is specific: each card carries its own engraved serial number, so no two share one, and for that reason Konami says exchanges and returns of these cards cannot be accepted. Ultimate Rare and Collector’s Rare each cover 14 Super Rare types; our post Yu-Gi-Oh Collector’s Rare Explained (Japanese OCG) covers the Collector’s Rare.

YAC1 vs QCAC: Two 100-Type Art Sets
QUARTER CENTURY ART COLLECTION (QCAC) is an earlier Konami product with a matching pack structure. Konami’s two product pages, as of October 21, 2026, differ in release date, pack price and rarity design.
| Detail | YAC1 | QCAC |
|---|---|---|
| Release | September 26, 2026 | February 22, 2025 |
| Price per pack (tax included) | ¥396 (¥360 before tax) | ¥385 (¥350 before tax) |
| Cards per pack | 4 | 4 |
| Packs per box | 15 | 15 |
| Card types | 100 (UR 25 / SR 45 / UR MANGA-STYLE 30) | 100 (UR 40 / SR 60) |
| Version notes | Secret Rare, Prismatic Secret Rare, Over Frame, Ultimate Rare, Collector’s Rare, Grandmaster Rare | Some cards have an alternate-illustration version; every card, alternate versions included, has a Secret Rare version, a Quarter Century Secret Rare version, or both |
| Our box listing | ¥8,500 (~$55) | ¥5,863 (~$38) |
The card-by-card QCAC pages areQCAC Quarter Century Art Collection Guide: Yu-Gi-Oh’s Art Set Explained and Quarter Century Art Collection (QCAC) Card List: Every Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh Card & Rarity.
One Box Cannot Complete the Set
Konami’s page states that a single box does not contain all 100 types (1箱で100種類全部は揃いません). The printed figures point the same way: 15 packs of 4 cards is 60 cards (our arithmetic from the pack and box figures) against 100 card types, before any alternate version is counted.
What Our YAC1 Box Page Prints
Our product page for the box prints the same pack, box and card-type figures as Konami’s page, with Set Code YAC1 and Language Japanese, and it names the same additional rarities, including serial-numbered Grandmaster Rare (001-100).
| Topic | Our product page |
|---|---|

| Route | Ships directly from Tokyo, Japan via FedEx International; Full tracking included |
| Random contents | Important: This is a sealed, randomized product. Card pulls are not guaranteed. Images of specific cards are for reference only and represent possible pulls from this set. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cards are in a YAC1 pack and a YAC1 box?
Konami prints four cards per pack and fifteen packs per box for ORIGINAL ARTWORK COLLECTION. The set has 100 card types, and the official page states that one box does not complete all 100. Fifteen packs of four is 60 cards, our arithmetic from the printed pack and box figures.
How many cards are in the YAC1 set?
The official page says 全100種, 100 card types: 25 Ultra Rare, 45 Super Rare and 30 Ultra Rare MANGA-STYLE. The official card database header shows 全100枚. Versions such as Prismatic Secret Rare (38 types) and Grandmaster Rare (10 types) come on top of those 100.
When did YAC1 release in Japan?
Konami’s product page and the card database both give September 26, 2026, a Saturday (2026年9月26日(土)). YAC1 is filed under the category スペシャルパック, special pack. The same page prints a per-pack price of ¥396 including tax and states that product specifications may change.
How much does a YAC1 pack cost in Japan?
Konami prints ¥396 per pack including tax (¥360 before tax) and no box price, with 4 cards per pack and 15 packs per box. Our YAC1 box is currently listed at ¥8,500 (~$55). The product page shows the current terms for the box.
How do I recognise a Grandmaster Rare YAC1 card?
Konami says each Grandmaster Rare card carries an individual serial number from 001 to 100, and no two cards share a number. Ten Ultra Rare card types have this version; the database lists it on YAC1-JP001 to JP010. Konami adds that exchanges and returns of these cards cannot be accepted.
How does YAC1 differ from QCAC?
Both have 100 card types, four cards per pack and fifteen packs per box. YAC1 released September 26, 2026 at ¥396 per pack with 25 Ultra Rare, 45 Super Rare and 30 MANGA-STYLE Ultra Rare cards. QCAC released February 22, 2025 at ¥385 per pack with 40 Ultra Rare and 60 Super Rare cards.
How can I find the English name of a YAC1 card?
The official TCG database lists English names for 74 of the 100 YAC1 cards, YAC1-JP027 to YAC1-JP100. It lists no English name for YAC1-JP001 to JP026, so those cards are identified by number and Japanese name. For how Japanese OCG cards compare with English TCG cards, see Yu-Gi-Oh OCG vs TCG: Differences for Japanese Card Buyers.
How does our YAC1 box ship from Tokyo?
Our product page prints “Ships directly from Tokyo, Japan via FedEx International” and “Full tracking included”. It also states that 24 boxes ship as 24 individual boxes, not as a factory-sealed carton, and that this is a sealed, randomized product on which card pulls are not guaranteed. Delivery terms appear on the product page.
