Gold Series 4: Pyramids Edition is a 50-card set released June 24, 2011, with codes GLD4-EN001 to GLD4-EN050. Unlike the earlier Gold Series, it has three new cards, Pendulum Machine, Eternal Drought and Eradicating Aerosol, all Commons; the other 47 are reprints.

It has no single theme. Its Gold Rares range from Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning and Chaos Sorcerer to Five-Headed Dragon, Gladiator Beast Gyzarus, Morphing Jar and Toon Table of Contents.

Eighteen cards are Gold Rares and 32 are Commons. TCGplayer prices the set only as Limited Edition, so the prices here are Limited Edition.

Cards and rarities

Gold Series 4: Pyramids Edition has 50 set codes, each starting GLD4-EN and printed under the artwork on the right. Where a card comes at more than one rarity, every version shares its code, so the table counts set codes at each rarity and a code printed at two rarities is counted twice.

RarityCardsWhat they are
Common32Includes the set's three new cards.
Gold Rare18Eighteen cards, among them Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, Chaos Sorcerer, Royal Oppression and Five-Headed Dragon.

Each code is printed at a single rarity, so the rows add up to the set's 50 cards. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts the distinct set codes you own against the set's total, so a card printed at two rarities counts once, with an every-rarity count beside it for collectors chasing each version.

Rarity Gold Rare
Set code GLD4-EN047
Limited market price, October 23, 2026 $17.40

The Gold Rare Royal Oppression (GLD4-EN047) was the set's most valuable card on October 23, 2026, at $17.40 as Limited Edition. The Gold Rare Toon Table of Contents was next at $13.31.

It is a Continuous Trap: either player can pay 800 LP to negate a Special Summon, or a card or effect that would Special Summon, and destroy those cards. It is Forbidden, so this price is a collector price.

Rarity is in the foil rather than the set code, so check it before you price the copy in your hand. Reading the set code and rarity →
