Konami Digital Entertainment’s VP of Card Business Yumi Hoashi talked to ICv2 at the recent GAMA trade show about the new Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game hobby exclusive release, Yu-Gi-Oh! Gold Series: Haunted Mine, which goes on sale on June 12th, 2012.  “We are going back to what we did for the initial Gold Series, Series 1, 2 and 3, but we are also introducing a new technology called the “Gold Ghost Hybrid.”  It will be a hybrid between the “Gold Rares,” which we introduced in the Gold Series for the first time, and the “Ghost Rares,” so it will have the 3-D holographic image of the card art (from the “Ghost Rares”), and then it will have the “Gold Rare” technology on the rest of the card, so the card frame will be gold and the card text will be gold as well.”

 

Each 25-card YGO: TCG Gold Series: Haunted Mine pack will contain 25 cards and will have an MSRP of $19.99.  Each pack will contain two “Gold Rare” cards and one “Gold Ghost Hybrid” card along with 22 common cards.  Aside from the Gold Series, the “Gold Rare: cards are found only in the boosters, and then maybe just one per case, so the new Gold Series: Haunted Mine release provides duelists with a great opportunity to acquire some very rare cards.
