Detailed Explanation

This card is a promotional card that was included as an appendix in the combined 3rd and 4th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump in 2003. Japanese magazines often come with promotional cards as supplements, and this card is one of them. However, this card has a unique charm compared to other appendix cards. The distinctive feature is that it is the English version of the card, simultaneously included in Japan and the United States.

"Yu-Gi-Oh!" is a manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, serving as the original work for the card game. In 2002, both Yu-Gi-Oh! and the magazine that serialized it, Shonen Jump, were popular not only in Japan but also worldwide. In response to this, the American company VIZ partnered with Shueisha, the publisher of Shonen Jump, to publish a monthly magazine called "SHONEN JUMP" in the United States, featuring selected popular manga titles.

At that time, in celebration of the inaugural issue of "SHONEN JUMP," this card became a magazine supplement. The inaugural issue of SHONEN JUMP in America was at the end of November 2002, while the combined 3rd and 4th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump for March 2003 was released on December 16, 2002. Both of these publications included the English version of the card with the same number, namely "JMP-001 Blue Eyes White Dragon," as a supplement.

Considering the history of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and the history of manga in America, wouldn't you want to get your hands on this valuable card, significant to both?
