Depends on what card it is, but most likely not. If it is damaged, the value drops drastically, unless it's a 1st edition Blue Eyes White Dragon or Dark Magician from LOB for instance, or a ghost rare..
Thank you for showing examples with the conditions, I have been wondering more about this for a while as I have recently found a stash of my old cards. Sadly a lot of them are "heavy played" or "moderately played" at best, as a kid I never cared about using sleeves or keeping them in good conditions which now I really regret haha
If you plan on grading them, go with BGS, PSA or GCG, the big three. Any other grading companies won't make you any profit. Once graded, look at sold listings on eBay to get an idea for the price you can get for the grade and company.
When you were talking about the playability I instantly thought of mechanical chaser back when it was only accessible in the first tournament pack and was a 1 in 128 pull
What I've taken from this video is - it doesn't actually matter about card rarity, what makes a card valuable is, playability, age and actual rarity in the real world. Of course condition comes in as well. But the difficult thing is that a simple trap card could be useless to someone yet invaluable to someone else. I've never played DNA transplant, but since grazing over it, I really want to try it with a certain card combo, not saying that card would be or could be valuable, but someone would probably pay 5 times more than someone else because they need the card
Rarity does play a factor with cards that got reprints in different rarities, however. A card that has only two different prints ever, one let's say a Starlight rare, the other an ultra rare, the latter will be less expensive simply because of its rarity being more common than a Starlight, even if it doesn't see a lot of play. So pull rate (thus rarity) does matter there. And DNA surgery can sure be a fun card! I do recommend testing it out, though not sure how well it holds up to today's decks!
Ah I'm not Dutch haha, I'm Belgian! I do live in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, but our accents aren't as strong as the actual Dutch (or well, the majority lol). But thank you though!
I love how sometimes when I buy NM condition cards the sellers send me cards that have dented corners and I have to rebuy the card from another seller.
The worst part is the quality control is so bad on these cards that you can open a new pack and get a “lightly played” card cuz it comes fresh out the pack with scratches
say.. how about the heavily coat gold cards? it has a sandy texture, and everything reflects gold to light, i got it like about 15yrs ago.. Anyway as a fan and a casual player of yugioh, what's rare for me are those cards that i really want to complete my desire deck build 😅😅 and i mostly collect only those cards i saw from the very first yugioh anime..😆😆
The 2 points I liked most are, that he's using Dark Magicians, while that's one of my favourite archetypes as well. (he also mentioned Blue-Eyes, what's my all time favourite!) And the second point is, that he has a box(?) on top of his shelf saying "Pikachu"
Dark Magician is my main deck so I have plenty of copies of him haha. And yes, the pikachu.. I collect Pokemon and Digimon as well so they're bound to make an appearance 😅
Nice video and quite enlightening. However does anyone know if there is a site or people online who would work with an individual card owner and evaluate their cards. I was thinking of sending a picture of each card and receiving an approximate estimate of it's value.
I'm sure there is some people, but they'd more than likely ask a fee for the time and effort. At least those I have seen come by. Thought of doing something similar myself at one point but I don't have a lot of time to do it haha
Hi, nice video brother. What about cards with errors like missprintings or others? I have a Buster Blader 1st edition UR PSV-050 LP with the name of Sanga the Thunder. How much is that worth?
Misprints really comes down to what a buyer is willing to pay for them, there's no real market value to follow there. Ebay sold listings is your best bet to get an idea.
I have a bunch of cards with holographic star like patterns that cover the enire front of the card, as well as 1 Dragon FGD Ultra Rare card in which all of these only have 3 numbers where the set I.D. should be located....Is there a way to identify the set they came from, or am I missing something? For example the Dragon FGD only says 110
Are they Japanese? Japan has a lot more or different promos in the OCG than we do in the English TCG. Unfortunately I don't have as much knowledge on those so I'm not able to give a correct answer, especially without seeing them, it might be a fake too for all I know. For a better answer I'd suggest the yugioh subreddit, post a picture of the cards and ask if someone has any knowledge about them. There they will be able to help you find the answer you're looking for if it's a legitimate card!
Really depends on the card itself. A 1st edition Dark Magician from the LOB set will definitely be a lot more expensive. Also keep in mind the condition of the cards and mine being pretty beaten up from childhood haha
Would love if u could rate my old deck from when I was a kid I have a lot of rare cards.. do have a barely touched jmp-001 with no scratches and a ton of 1st editions from literally when the packs first came out
Forgive her, she didint know better. I had 4 dark magician girls 1st edition NM as a 9 year old. My brother and i got into a fight. He threw my binder away with the cards. I never forgave him lol
Any collectors you know, local card shop or conventions. Just don't let them persuade you into selling them, do your research because they'll always lowball you!
If they're starter deck cards, they'd have to be graded and a PSA 9 or 10 to get such a high amount. Raw will never sell for 1000 dollar, euro.. Be sure to sort by sold listings on eBay and look for raw cards to get a better idea! :)
Do you have a opinion on the value of DDS cards? I have a DDS PSA 4 blue eyes and PSA 6 dark magician that someone is looking to trade for and I can't get a sense of their value looking at what is currently on the market
Oh definitely. Near mint would mean a card can have some minor flaws (small scratch, some imperfection in the corner..). A graded card to reach a 10 would mean they're perfect in every way. Even a little whitening on the edges can knock it down a grade or two. For grading, I always only do so with cards I've pulled myself or have seen in person. That to me is the best way of making sure it's in a good enough condition to grade it. Sites like tcgplayer will often not offer pictures or just front and back. That's a gamble if you want to send it in for grading. Best to buy in person or seen in multiple angles, in my opinion!
That's Starter (or Structure?) Deck Yugi Evolution. Basically the second deck ever printed around Yugi's cards. It's the one with Black Luster Soldier as his main monster.
LOB is the first set ever released in the TCG: Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. The only thing to look out for is if it is original or a reprint. The earlier sets got a reprint early 2010's. Some cards are very hard to distinguish from one another. Best way to do this is by looking up a LOB Dark Magician that is 1st Edition, as those are from that first print and original. For that same reason, if yours are 1st edition, ther're original, if not, keep reading haha. Compare the text underneath the card with the text on yours to determine if your version is indeed an original or a reprint. Some 2010's reprint cards got an updated text, changing it alltogether (an example here is Jinzo or Gate Guardian), making it obvious it's a reprint. If the text itself is the exact same, which for Dark Magician I believe is the case, pay attention to the position of the words. If for instance some words are closer to the border of the textbox, or further away, compared to the 1st edition, you have a reprint. Is the text exactly the same and in the same position as the 1st edition cards online, you have an OG card! And as Dark Magician is a fan favourite still, you've got a card with quite some value in your hands! I hope I was able to help you with this! If you still are unsure, feel free to contact me on my social media (links in description box under the video) and send me some pictures. I'll gladly help! :)
@@BopisTCG oh yeah i have an exodia head inside two sleeves and then inside a binder thats been through the washing machine and is beyond any grading system probably considered garbage but ill cherish it forever
I can't find my cards on the internet, their old and heavely played, all of them are first edition, like God created Hara Curti Light 1st edition, YGOPR-EN001.
@@BopisTCG I’ve found some that are fake but the ones I can’t find aren’t in English so I’m struggling to find them, I also can find the ones I’m looking for but not the prices of the first edition.
It does, that's where condition comes into play. Better condition, better chance for a higher grade, thus higher price. This video was mainly made for people going through their cards from childhood or getting into the game. I don't expect any beginner with no knowledge to have any graded cards laying around. Maybe I can make a video on grading as a sort of follow up, however!
@@BopisTCG ohhh okay fair enough I see. I am new to it too as you say. I'm just looking into selling my old cards from when I was a kid but I have been advised to get them graded first as a lot are really rare and good condition
@@BopisTCG thanks! I am just getting into Yugioh collection and this video answer most of my questions. I do have one more tho. Outside of the 1st edition and limited edition do Yugioh cards old much value? Considering the condition nm to mint. I am finding lots of cards for sale but they often do not say 1st edition. Most say limited or don’t have anything written
If they don't have anything they're unlimited prints. Depending on what card it is, some can still hold value, but then it will mainly be old cards for nostalgia or new holos. In the end, it depends a lot on what someone is willing to pay for it as well of course :) I for instance am willing to pay more if it is something specific I am after but can't find many copies of, so when one does pop up, and the price is still acceptable, although perhaps a bit higher, I might still go for it!
@@BopisTCG I see. That makes sense. I am partially getting into collecting Yugioh for nostalgic reasons. Nevertheless, would you say any card from 1st edition and most limited edition cards would hold a good value? I am just trying to build a baseline for when I am making offers to people.
@@RedFaceeee Depends a lot on what set they're from. I'd say that the earlier sets will get you a decent penny on quite some cards (going with commons), whilst later/recent sets won't. Compare it with Base Set for the Pokemon TCG. Even commons in that set still go for € 0,30 and more in a good condition for unlimited ones because they're what got it started. People love that nostalgia, and they're harder and harder to find with every year passing, especially in a mint condition. Same with limited cards, really. If you have a promo from one of the original tins, those are worth quite a bit, whilst later sets, again, depend on what card it is and what set it comes from, how often it sees use in competitive play, if there's a reprint.. simply because they're mass produced and still available for purchase today. Best advice I can give: sort your cards per set, find out when that set was released and then look up if the commons hold any value using the sites I used in the video. Be sure to sort on 1st edition, condition and language. If you see that the commons of the set don't have any value, move to the next one/check holos. That way you get a general idea of your cards' value and you can go through them faster.
Hello, I need help. I have a yu-gi-oh card. I need to know the name of the card. Is Nightmare apprentice? I look it up, but there is a difference one with to difference value. How do u tell the difference on Secret Rare From Quarter Century anybody know ? I'll make a video if need ?
Hey Bopi! New viewer here I was hoping you could answer a quick question for me regarding some cards i have! trying to figure out if any of my cards from my childhood have any value to them and I've hit a road block of sorts
I suggest by taking out the holos as those are the ones with possible value, and then check them on the sites I've mentioned in the video based on their condition :)
I double sleeve my cards. So I put them upside down in the perfect fit sleeve and then put them in the normal way in sleeves that are a bit bigger. This way your card is protected on both sides :) It does make your deck a lot thicker though, but I'm mainly a collector anyway
What's the difference between cards that day "1st edition" and cards that day "limited edition" I have a few "1st edition" cards from 1996 and a few "limited edition" cards from 1996. Are the limited edition ones potentially fake as can't find much info/cards online when I search.
@@BopisTCG ah right ok. So unlikely to hold much value I assume. All pretty much mint condition. Never been used or played with. Just left in plastic packets for the past 20+ years.
That's an unlimited version then. Might also be a reprint however. Compare yours to a 1st edition, especially the spacing of the words in the text box. If it's closer to the border, it's a reprint. If the words are in the exact same spot, it's a original print and worth money, depending on condition.
Depends on the condition, what print it is.. basically all tips I mention in this video, as well as the websites to check for the prices. You will have to do some research yourself to determine it I'm afraid!
Hi! i have some yugioh cards that are missing the year print on the bottom right corner. are these fake? like is it a thing that some old yugioh cards dont have this "year" stamp or?
I honestly don't know, but usually if the year is missing they're indeed fake. I'm sure there would be more indicators to it, but can't say without seeing them.
I don't know the prices by heart, but any premade decks are always lower unless they have specific cards. Sets that are out of production will also climb often due to them no longer being available on the market. Keep in mind it is constantly fluctuating too.
I have the card that is all perfect no scratch the centering is correct and doesn’t have print mistakes but in the back part has a very tiny scratch that is only visible when you put it at a light. Do you think there’s any chance it can get a psa 10?
I appreciate the info, I have very little knowledge as of yet, but came across red eyes b dragon sdj001, and a blue eyes white dragon bpt009, and both are very very nice. Need to do more research and find someone near me in Branson MO, and find out if its worth anything at all
SDJ is Structure Deck Joey and that card holds a bit of value, but nothing too crazy as it was so mass printed. 1st edition would make it more valuable of course. BPT are battle pack tournament and they tend to have a nice price tag to them depending on the card. Blue Eyes would definitely be worth a bit as it is such a beloved and iconic monster! I'm glad my video was helpful to you!
@@BopisTCG very helpful, honestly came across them in a storage unit, sold enough other things already(set of McFarland dragons, and original spawn violator) hoping for a little luck, with 250 other cards as well, all from 1996, maybe missed something.
I also have a double gold holographic red eyes black dragon I just found from my childhood set I’m just upset there’s a crease in the middle lol I’m pissed about that
good video but can the same card increase from 1€ to 50€ if its a holo? cause even on the internet page that you recommended you cant filter holos just any other aspect so how do i know if im not throwing away an expensive card that was on the side shown as 0,10€?
The only way for the price difference to be that big is to consider the other factors I talked about, such as language, print edition, condition of the card.. On Cardmarket you can indeed sort all of these except indeed for holo or non-holo. That is because it doesn't exist in Yu-Gi-Oh, unlike Pokemon where you have a regular and a reverse print per card in sets nowadays. Yu-Gi-Oh has plenty of reprints of the same artwork of the same cards, but they're all a different card. An example are the three Dark Magician at the start of the video. The rarity is different, but it is the same artwork every time. That's what the set numbers on the right underneath the artwork are for. If you search for Dark Magician on Cardmarket (I suppose you're a fellow European as you use euro) you get a list of all prints ever made. You just need to navigate to the card with the exact same set number as yours. Even one letter of difference (such as mentioned with the European/North American/Asian English sets) means it is a different card. So let's say you have found the card on there, you have sorted them on language and the condition yours is in.. prices are still completely different.. that's just what a seller asks for it. The exact same card, same condition, but one person asks € 5 and an other asks € 20.. You buy the € 5 one of course. This is why I also mention using eBay for older cards especially. They're harder to find, so you will see a huge difference in prices for them. eBay sold listings will however show you what people are actually willing to pay for that card. Because if someone asks € 50 for a € 5 card.. they will never sell it. Do keep in mind that there will still be some difference in prices here and there though, as eBay also has shipping and import costs. So sometimes someone will pay € 10 more for the same card that's located in Europe, instead of a cheaper version in the USA because then there's import fees and such involved. So, tl;dr: make sure you have the exact same set number you're comparing cards online with as they all are from unique sets, pay attention to the edition, language, condition (especially this!).. and then take a rough estimate of what the cards do sell for to get an idea of the value of your card. I hope that this helps you answer your question a bit, otherwise feel free to ask!
Hey there I've been trying to find value of one card that I haven't been able to find online, its a dark magician LOB-005 1st edition with a silver square at the bottom right, not only has gold borders but like the card is filled in gold?
Gold rares do exist but never seen a LOB Dark Magician version of it though. Best advice I can give is to ask in a Facebook or Reddit group, sharing a picture, as it is really difficult to answer without seeing it. Hope you will find your answers!
eBay is your best bet! If you make it clear what condition they're in and what set they're from, people will bid the right amount for them. Might even be wiser to list the special ones as a seperate listing and just have bulk cards as a lot. You should get most money out of it that way, if you're willing to put the time and effort into it.
I am unsure about that, didn't know that they even printed Chinese cards! Maybe the earlier sets only, like with Pokemon. Just be cautious if they're legit though, as a lot of fake cards were/are distributed from China. Good example today is all cards from sites like Wish, AliExpress..
You'd have to find out by using all tips I mention in the video. I don't know all prices by heart as there is simply too many and constantly fluctuating I'm afraid!
Hello Bopi's :) i just found my deck box with all my favorite cards from when i was a child. I've been saving those for 20 years but i do not know a lot about them or if there is even any value there. Is there any email contact of yours so i can reach out and try to understand if there is any gem there? i would really aprreciate it! Kepp up the good work :)
Hey there, thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I will have to disappoint you, as I do not have the time to look through collections. That is why I made this video, so people themselves can see if they have any valuable cards! I suggest you sort cards per rarity and look up all super rare, ultra rare, secret rare.. those are the ones that can hold value, common and regular rares won't. Best of luck!
also i bought guilds of ravinca and i took those cards and put them wright in sleaves lol so that was good lol i didnt even know yugioh cards where worth money lol
but yeah i dont have any dings or marks or anything like that just the backs of them are lightly srcatched from looking threw them and moving them around every other year when i loved places lol so not sure how to grade them i wish i could give them to you to grade but yeah i dont have dings or marks on any of them and i bought then used so who ever had them before me must of not played with them because the front of each one is in great conditon and there all foils lol thats why i bought them also i didnt know anything about yugioh cards back then and i still dont lol never played or even knew someone who played im 36 years old and live in new york so yeah thats my story
lol the backs of my cards are a little bit scrathced because of looking threw them but other then that mine are in great condtions the front of all my cards are great and i stored them all togeather with no sleaves for years in a ziplock baggy lol i thought they where nt worth anything since i only paid 5 dollars for like 50 cards and thats was like 10 years ago and now i just looked them up and there worth more then that lol
also all the corners on my card are perfect so i know they wherent played with only looked at lol i dodnt know how many times i would shaffle threw my cards a few times looking at the art work and showing people lol i wish i knew they where worth something so i didnt scratch them up like a dumb ass lol
Haha nothing wrong with admiring the art, that's what they're for! Be sure to get some sleeves though, perhaps toploaders, to protect them! I've made an entire video on that too, if you want to learn more!
How much is this card worth its call hi-speedroid kitedrake. Led8-eno18. Its got shiny letters and idk how much its worth or if its rare please let me know
Not at all, just means it's a more recent print. Of course all comes down to what card it is. A common card will be pretty worthless no matter what year it was printed in, for instance.
@@kodaline0911 it does. Non-English cards will in general be worth less. You should be able to sort per language on the websites used in the video, however.

Does it hold value?

Really depends on the card itself. A 1st edition Dark Magician from the LOB set will definitely be a lot more expensive. Also keep in mind the condition of the cards and mine being pretty beaten up from childhood haha
I wish I had my childhood cards back. I know I had a lot of fake ones from the flea market but also a lot of real ones.
Would love if u could rate my old deck from when I was a kid I have a lot of rare cards.. do have a barely touched jmp-001 with no scratches and a ton of 1st editions from literally when the packs first came out
I had first edition of everything... sold the entire collection for a big "5 dollars" at a card-shop because my mom told me to.
Oof. Damn.. I am sorry to hear that..
Forgive her, she didint know better. I had 4 dark magician girls 1st edition NM as a 9 year old. My brother and i got into a fight. He threw my binder away with the cards. I never forgave him lol
It’s a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh artwork that could be legit anime cartoon shows
The original art still remains the best in my opinion!
I have tons of original cards in sleeves non played cards. Some are even in Japanese. Off to find my pokemon binder from 97.
Sounds like you might have some gems there! Good luck!
@@BopisTCG Thanks just found 1st edition Summon Skull and Red Eyes Black Dragon. Both with Gold lettering and shiny background.
@@Da1EyeinHawaiian oh damn, those are beautiful cards! Congratulations! That Summoned Skull as a graded card is one of my holy grails haha
The near mint condition is BS for me, I´ve got ultra rares or secret rares right out the box and they´ve come with some little scratches from fabric.
Yep, that happens all the time unfortunately. Still counts as near mint though, as they're not mint.
My dark magician and blue eyes is first edition
It’s not like Pokémon people don’t really do these
I disagree. Yu-Gi-Oh has a big market, just like Pokémon does.
Wheres a good place to get your cards checked out i have a stash of em from when i was a kid. Alot.
Any collectors you know, local card shop or conventions. Just don't let them persuade you into selling them, do your research because they'll always lowball you!
I have both
What inner sleeves do you use? The dragon shield ones i use are a little too big but work for the hard cases i put my maybe worthwhile cards.
I use KMC perfect fit sleeves. For yugioh make sure you pick the small ones though, as the regular ones will fit Pokemon and Digimon.
All my card are from 2004 or 2003 first starting deck edition and I seen some go for a 1,000
If they're starter deck cards, they'd have to be graded and a PSA 9 or 10 to get such a high amount. Raw will never sell for 1000 dollar, euro..
Be sure to sort by sold listings on eBay and look for raw cards to get a better idea! :)
@@BopisTCG what’s a raw card
@@Lowkey_ballin14 an ungraded card :)
Do you have a opinion on the value of DDS cards? I have a DDS PSA 4 blue eyes and PSA 6 dark magician that someone is looking to trade for and I can't get a sense of their value looking at what is currently on the market
That's really hard to say with those grades. Best bet would be eBay sold listings and compare the condition to raw copies + grading fee I'd say.
What is your take on PSA 10 graded cards? Is this a different category from tcgplayer's "Near Mint" category?
Oh definitely. Near mint would mean a card can have some minor flaws (small scratch, some imperfection in the corner..). A graded card to reach a 10 would mean they're perfect in every way. Even a little whitening on the edges can knock it down a grade or two.
For grading, I always only do so with cards I've pulled myself or have seen in person. That to me is the best way of making sure it's in a good enough condition to grade it.
Sites like tcgplayer will often not offer pictures or just front and back. That's a gamble if you want to send it in for grading. Best to buy in person or seen in multiple angles, in my opinion!
Are any vintage 1st Ed commons worth a decent amount of money? I have a ton from LOB, MRD and PSV . All M/NM
They can be worth a bit, depending on condition. Best way to find out is using the sites I've mentioned in the video!
Good job
Thank you!
What does it mean when my cards are first edition and have number starting with SYE?
That's Starter (or Structure?) Deck Yugi Evolution. Basically the second deck ever printed around Yugi's cards. It's the one with Black Luster Soldier as his main monster.
what about dark magician LOB-001, all my yugioh cards are LOB-001, and most of them didn't ever see on internet?
LOB is the first set ever released in the TCG: Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon.
The only thing to look out for is if it is original or a reprint. The earlier sets got a reprint early 2010's. Some cards are very hard to distinguish from one another. Best way to do this is by looking up a LOB Dark Magician that is 1st Edition, as those are from that first print and original. For that same reason, if yours are 1st edition, ther're original, if not, keep reading haha.
Compare the text underneath the card with the text on yours to determine if your version is indeed an original or a reprint.
Some 2010's reprint cards got an updated text, changing it alltogether (an example here is Jinzo or Gate Guardian), making it obvious it's a reprint.
If the text itself is the exact same, which for Dark Magician I believe is the case, pay attention to the position of the words. If for instance some words are closer to the border of the textbox, or further away, compared to the 1st edition, you have a reprint. Is the text exactly the same and in the same position as the 1st edition cards online, you have an OG card! And as Dark Magician is a fan favourite still, you've got a card with quite some value in your hands!
I hope I was able to help you with this!
If you still are unsure, feel free to contact me on my social media (links in description box under the video) and send me some pictures. I'll gladly help! :)
@@BopisTCG i have more then 1, all my cards are lob 001 1 st edition.
@@redlinesmet4899 Then you're lucky! Might have some gems there!
sure that last dark magician was in pretty bad shape but its almost cool t me like its been through the ringer
If anything, it holds a lot of emotional value because it's a card from my actual childhood :D
@@BopisTCG oh yeah i have an exodia head inside two sleeves and then inside a binder thats been through the washing machine and is beyond any grading system probably considered garbage but ill cherish it forever
Emotional value definitely surpasses monetary value no matter what! ☺️
I can't find my cards on the internet, their old and heavely played, all of them are first edition, like God created Hara Curti Light 1st edition, YGOPR-EN001.
What about the third dark magician card that was on the left?
What about it? Not sure I get what you mean haha
He means does it have value@@BopisTCG
help me please i have a bunch that are first edition with gold writing and i have 0 clue what they are worth some of them i can’t even find online
If you can't find them online, chances are they are fake I'm afraid
@@BopisTCG I’ve found some that are fake but the ones I can’t find aren’t in English so I’m struggling to find them, I also can find the ones I’m looking for but not the prices of the first edition.
But doesn't grading also effect the price like being a psa 10 or something
It does, that's where condition comes into play. Better condition, better chance for a higher grade, thus higher price.
This video was mainly made for people going through their cards from childhood or getting into the game. I don't expect any beginner with no knowledge to have any graded cards laying around.
Maybe I can make a video on grading as a sort of follow up, however!
@@BopisTCG ohhh okay fair enough I see. I am new to it too as you say. I'm just looking into selling my old cards from when I was a kid but I have been advised to get them graded first as a lot are really rare and good condition
You got a sub!
Thank you, welcome aboard! :D
@@BopisTCG thanks! I am just getting into Yugioh collection and this video answer most of my questions. I do have one more tho. Outside of the 1st edition and limited edition do Yugioh cards old much value? Considering the condition nm to mint.
I am finding lots of cards for sale but they often do not say 1st edition. Most say limited or don’t have anything written
If they don't have anything they're unlimited prints. Depending on what card it is, some can still hold value, but then it will mainly be old cards for nostalgia or new holos.
In the end, it depends a lot on what someone is willing to pay for it as well of course :)
I for instance am willing to pay more if it is something specific I am after but can't find many copies of, so when one does pop up, and the price is still acceptable, although perhaps a bit higher, I might still go for it!
@@BopisTCG I see. That makes sense. I am partially getting into collecting Yugioh for nostalgic reasons. Nevertheless, would you say any card from 1st edition and most limited edition cards would hold a good value? I am just trying to build a baseline for when I am making offers to people.
@@RedFaceeee Depends a lot on what set they're from. I'd say that the earlier sets will get you a decent penny on quite some cards (going with commons), whilst later/recent sets won't. Compare it with Base Set for the Pokemon TCG. Even commons in that set still go for € 0,30 and more in a good condition for unlimited ones because they're what got it started. People love that nostalgia, and they're harder and harder to find with every year passing, especially in a mint condition.
Same with limited cards, really. If you have a promo from one of the original tins, those are worth quite a bit, whilst later sets, again, depend on what card it is and what set it comes from, how often it sees use in competitive play, if there's a reprint.. simply because they're mass produced and still available for purchase today.
Best advice I can give: sort your cards per set, find out when that set was released and then look up if the commons hold any value using the sites I used in the video. Be sure to sort on 1st edition, condition and language.
If you see that the commons of the set don't have any value, move to the next one/check holos. That way you get a general idea of your cards' value and you can go through them faster.
Hello, I need help. I have a yu-gi-oh card. I need to know the name of the card. Is Nightmare apprentice? I look it up, but there is a difference one with to difference value. How do u tell the difference on Secret Rare From Quarter Century anybody know ? I'll make a video if need ?
Google 'yugioh rarity' and follow the first two links, they will give you a better idea and some examples, too!
Ok thinks
Hey Bopi! New viewer here I was hoping you could answer a quick question for me regarding some cards i have! trying to figure out if any of my cards from my childhood have any value to them and I've hit a road block of sorts
I suggest by taking out the holos as those are the ones with possible value, and then check them on the sites I've mentioned in the video based on their condition :)
How come you put the sleeves on upside down what if the card falls out the bottom 🥴
There’s def a reason I’m just curious what it is lol
I double sleeve my cards. So I put them upside down in the perfect fit sleeve and then put them in the normal way in sleeves that are a bit bigger. This way your card is protected on both sides :)
It does make your deck a lot thicker though, but I'm mainly a collector anyway
What's the difference between cards that day "1st edition" and cards that day "limited edition" I have a few "1st edition" cards from 1996 and a few "limited edition" cards from 1996. Are the limited edition ones potentially fake as can't find much info/cards online when I search.
Limited edition cards are usually promo cards that came with a special tin, a game..
@@BopisTCG ah right ok. So unlikely to hold much value I assume. All pretty much mint condition. Never been used or played with. Just left in plastic packets for the past 20+ years.
You'd be surprised, some of them can hold a lot of value!
Hope you find some hidden gems amongst them! :D
hello! i have white dragon with blue eyes LOB-001 but it dosent write edition. Is it worth ?
That's an unlimited version then. Might also be a reprint however. Compare yours to a 1st edition, especially the spacing of the words in the text box. If it's closer to the border, it's a reprint. If the words are in the exact same spot, it's a original print and worth money, depending on condition.
I have a 1st edition Gate Guardian secret rare
One of my personal favourites! Lovely artwork!
@@BopisTCG How much do you think it's worth mate ?
Depends on the condition, what print it is.. basically all tips I mention in this video, as well as the websites to check for the prices. You will have to do some research yourself to determine it I'm afraid!
Hi!
i have some yugioh cards that are missing the year print on the bottom right corner. are these fake? like is it a thing that some old yugioh cards dont have this "year" stamp or?
I honestly don't know, but usually if the year is missing they're indeed fake. I'm sure there would be more indicators to it, but can't say without seeing them.
Freaking fooking guru right here 🤙
Opens your shakras like your cards will open your bank account!
What video game was shown at 0:45 thanks!
That's Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist : Link Evolution
So are YGLD cards not worth anything?
I don't know the prices by heart, but any premade decks are always lower unless they have specific cards. Sets that are out of production will also climb often due to them no longer being available on the market.
Keep in mind it is constantly fluctuating too.
I have the card that is all perfect no scratch the centering is correct and doesn’t have print mistakes but in the back part has a very tiny scratch that is only visible when you put it at a light. Do you think there’s any chance it can get a psa 10?
Most likely not, due to the scratch I'd say. Only one way to find out, though! :)
@@BopisTCG will notice when I get the grade haha
Best of luck! Hope it turns out well!
@@BopisTCG thank you so much
I appreciate the info, I have very little knowledge as of yet, but came across red eyes b dragon sdj001, and a blue eyes white dragon bpt009, and both are very very nice. Need to do more research and find someone near me in Branson MO, and find out if its worth anything at all
SDJ is Structure Deck Joey and that card holds a bit of value, but nothing too crazy as it was so mass printed. 1st edition would make it more valuable of course.
BPT are battle pack tournament and they tend to have a nice price tag to them depending on the card. Blue Eyes would definitely be worth a bit as it is such a beloved and iconic monster!
I'm glad my video was helpful to you!
@@BopisTCG very helpful, honestly came across them in a storage unit, sold enough other things already(set of McFarland dragons, and original spawn violator) hoping for a little luck, with 250 other cards as well, all from 1996, maybe missed something.
I hope you find some nice cards amongst them then, best of luck! 😊
I also have a double gold holographic red eyes black dragon I just found from my childhood set I’m just upset there’s a crease in the middle lol I’m pissed about that
good video but
can the same card increase from 1€ to 50€ if its a holo? cause even on the internet page that you recommended you cant filter holos just any other aspect so how do i know if im not throwing away an expensive card that was on the side shown as 0,10€?
The only way for the price difference to be that big is to consider the other factors I talked about, such as language, print edition, condition of the card..
On Cardmarket you can indeed sort all of these except indeed for holo or non-holo. That is because it doesn't exist in Yu-Gi-Oh, unlike Pokemon where you have a regular and a reverse print per card in sets nowadays. Yu-Gi-Oh has plenty of reprints of the same artwork of the same cards, but they're all a different card.
An example are the three Dark Magician at the start of the video. The rarity is different, but it is the same artwork every time. That's what the set numbers on the right underneath the artwork are for. If you search for Dark Magician on Cardmarket (I suppose you're a fellow European as you use euro) you get a list of all prints ever made. You just need to navigate to the card with the exact same set number as yours. Even one letter of difference (such as mentioned with the European/North American/Asian English sets) means it is a different card.
So let's say you have found the card on there, you have sorted them on language and the condition yours is in.. prices are still completely different.. that's just what a seller asks for it.
The exact same card, same condition, but one person asks € 5 and an other asks € 20.. You buy the € 5 one of course.
This is why I also mention using eBay for older cards especially. They're harder to find, so you will see a huge difference in prices for them. eBay sold listings will however show you what people are actually willing to pay for that card. Because if someone asks € 50 for a € 5 card.. they will never sell it.
Do keep in mind that there will still be some difference in prices here and there though, as eBay also has shipping and import costs. So sometimes someone will pay € 10 more for the same card that's located in Europe, instead of a cheaper version in the USA because then there's import fees and such involved.
So, tl;dr: make sure you have the exact same set number you're comparing cards online with as they all are from unique sets, pay attention to the edition, language, condition (especially this!).. and then take a rough estimate of what the cards do sell for to get an idea of the value of your card.
I hope that this helps you answer your question a bit, otherwise feel free to ask!
@@BopisTCG yes that actually helped a lot thanks for taking your time and answering that detailed and yes i am from germany:D
No worries, glad to be of help!
Freundliche grüße von Belgie!
Hey there I've been trying to find value of one card that I haven't been able to find online, its a dark magician LOB-005 1st edition with a silver square at the bottom right, not only has gold borders but like the card is filled in gold?
actually have two cards like this with the whole gold foil thing going on, the other one is called master monk?
Gold rares do exist but never seen a LOB Dark Magician version of it though.
Best advice I can give is to ask in a Facebook or Reddit group, sharing a picture, as it is really difficult to answer without seeing it.
Hope you will find your answers!
@@BopisTCG do you have a Facebook page I can send a picture of it too?
My social media can be found in the description box :)
@@BopisTCG I think I found ya, I’ve sent a photo of it
I feel like I have good value in my cards and looking to sale
eBay is your best bet! If you make it clear what condition they're in and what set they're from, people will bid the right amount for them.
Might even be wiser to list the special ones as a seperate listing and just have bulk cards as a lot. You should get most money out of it that way, if you're willing to put the time and effort into it.
i got a bunch of i think chines cards but don't know if there are worth anything
I am unsure about that, didn't know that they even printed Chinese cards! Maybe the earlier sets only, like with Pokemon.
Just be cautious if they're legit though, as a lot of fake cards were/are distributed from China. Good example today is all cards from sites like Wish, AliExpress..
I have alot of vintage 2002 magic ruler cards if anyone is interested
That's a beautiful set! You'll definitely find some buyers! :D
I have exactly the same card as you in 13:40 the only difference is that my card has blue eyes
Can you please tell me how much is it worth?
You'd have to find out by using all tips I mention in the video. I don't know all prices by heart as there is simply too many and constantly fluctuating I'm afraid!
im looking to sell about 900 japanese cards, mostly commons and rares, what do you think could i get for that?
No clue, I'm not familiar with Japanese cards. If it's just bulk, then it won't be a lot, especially if there's played cards amongst them
Just started getting back j to yugioh. Im sure i have a few rares just wont be able to tell besides thag
Hope you find some long lost gems!
Hello Bopi's :) i just found my deck box with all my favorite cards from when i was a child. I've been saving those for 20 years but i do not know a lot about them or if there is even any value there. Is there any email contact of yours so i can reach out and try to understand if there is any gem there? i would really aprreciate it! Kepp up the good work :)
Hey there, thank you for watching!
Unfortunately, I will have to disappoint you, as I do not have the time to look through collections. That is why I made this video, so people themselves can see if they have any valuable cards!
I suggest you sort cards per rarity and look up all super rare, ultra rare, secret rare.. those are the ones that can hold value, common and regular rares won't.
Best of luck!
I have an Blue ice white dragon its an JMP-EN001 a swedish limited edition card not taken out of the package it comes in is it worth anything?
I believe it does hold quite some value. Ebay sold listings will give you a better idea though!
y anyone would pay for cards they cant even use because konami just bans everything literally is beyond me lol
They sure seem to enjoy doing that don't they lol
..can you check my yugioh card.
I have a big collection of very valuable ones I would like to sell my collection if anyones interested
Stole uko
also i bought guilds of ravinca and i took those cards and put them wright in sleaves lol so that was good lol i didnt even know yugioh cards where worth money lol
but yeah i dont have any dings or marks or anything like that just the backs of them are lightly srcatched from looking threw them and moving them around every other year when i loved places lol so not sure how to grade them i wish i could give them to you to grade but yeah i dont have dings or marks on any of them and i bought then used so who ever had them before me must of not played with them because the front of each one is in great conditon and there all foils lol thats why i bought them also i didnt know anything about yugioh cards back then and i still dont lol never played or even knew someone who played im 36 years old and live in new york so yeah thats my story
lol the backs of my cards are a little bit scrathced because of looking threw them but other then that mine are in great condtions the front of all my cards are great and i stored them all togeather with no sleaves for years in a ziplock baggy lol i thought they where nt worth anything since i only paid 5 dollars for like 50 cards and thats was like 10 years ago and now i just looked them up and there worth more then that lol
Glad to hear! Sounds like you made a good investment back then! Do you plan on keeping them or selling for profit? Or maybe grading even? :)
lol and yesh your dark magican all the corners are damaged clearly so i see why with that card and i do see some scratches lol
Some scratches is an understatement, really haha
But it's one of my cards from my childhood that I've kept. That can be priceless too, sometimes!
also all the corners on my card are perfect so i know they wherent played with only looked at lol i dodnt know how many times i would shaffle threw my cards a few times looking at the art work and showing people lol i wish i knew they where worth something so i didnt scratch them up like a dumb ass lol
Haha nothing wrong with admiring the art, that's what they're for! Be sure to get some sleeves though, perhaps toploaders, to protect them! I've made an entire video on that too, if you want to learn more!
How much is this card worth its call hi-speedroid kitedrake. Led8-eno18. Its got shiny letters and idk how much its worth or if its rare please let me know
It's a recent print so the websites I've mentioned in the video will definitely give you an answer to your question!
Thank you i just did it
So if the 1st edition is right in the bottom left of the card isit worthless?
Not at all, just means it's a more recent print. Of course all comes down to what card it is. A common card will be pretty worthless no matter what year it was printed in, for instance.
Thankyou for the information. One last thing, does the different languages on cards matter?
@@kodaline0911 it does. Non-English cards will in general be worth less. You should be able to sort per language on the websites used in the video, however.
