569 sets, by era
Quarter Century celebration. Rarity Collection, Anniversary sets. Collector interest growing.
Pendulum and Link summoning. Master Rule changes shook the meta repeatedly.
Original series. LOB, Metal Raiders, Invasion of Chaos. Anime drove demand.
Formats: Advanced, Traditional, Speed Duel, Master Duel
Born from the manga/anime by Kazuki Takahashi. No rotation: every card ever printed is legal (with a ban list). Konami controls supply directly, and prints some cards in deliberately small runs.
Ban-list announcements reprice cards overnight, in both directions. Without rotation, any old card can move when it becomes meta-relevant. Quarter Century Secret Rares and Starlight Rares are the chase cards.

On average, a new Yu-Gi-Oh! set's cards worth $0.50 or more, weighted by price, are about 47% below the set's release-week level in weeks 26 to 30. About 30% of that drop came in the first week after release, 60% within about 5 weeks and 80% within about 11. The level was still falling over weeks 20 to 30, and week 30 is as far as we measure, so how far it falls is not known. A card's price change from one week to the next counts only when both of those prices are $0.50 or more. Single sets can land well away from that.
