Very informative video for beginner collectors! I myself using dragon shield binders and sleeves. Now dragon shield have really nice binders with dragon art and amazing texture on them (with texture they tried make it like dragon scales) and it comes in various colors, really love them! And for sleeves just classic clear matte sleeves 😄

Why did you grade these cards, though? Theres a lot of stuff that you've sent multiple of them, but you've previously said that you dont care too much about grading unless it's something that you absolutely love or thats incredibly rare.... I'm just asking because you seem very bummed out on it, which i can understand. Would just like to know why you've suddenly shifted towards wanting stuff graded?

I enjoy blinging out my deck to a certain degree, as the format changes, cards get banned which lowers value, it also stops me from using it until' further notice, but eh once in a while it's okay. I like Starlight rares but ur right, they are wayyyyyyy too over valued, I still think Ultimate Rares are the best rares. Ghost rares are okay, one card that I feel should get a ghost rare is Necroworld Banshee which will never happen. I'm also that guy who waits for his favorite archtype to go down in price before getting it and then when I play it, it sucks ass but I'm fine with that. I pay $100 to play pretty much. And despite the deck being meh it's still good enough to hold it's own and make the game fun. 😂

In my opinion Yugioh is not as interesting as it used to be because everything is shiny, everything is special. It annoys me if everything looks special, even though it isn't. I think it would be better if you had some chase chards in sexy foiling because you would be actually excited to get these. Back in the day secret rares were the shit and now it is just feels like a super rare.

@uthmanibn-jafar1159 3 ай бұрын

@@joanglo3394 I always shake my head when I hear people say things like this. Yugioh is a business. Konami needs to have cards that are rare/expensive in order to sell a sufficient quantity of sealed product at a price high enough to be profitable. If all the cards were cheap and Konami kept sealed product at the same price, very few people would buy it. In order to get people to buy it, they would need to sell it at a price so low that it wouldn't even be profitable for them. The end result would be the same either way. Yugioh would no longer be profitable for Konami, and the TCG would cease to exist.

@maverickbonato8164 4 ай бұрын

I'll give my opinions as well, for Pokémon they differ but for yugioh: Binder: I have yet to find the perfect one, tried tons of them but damn japanese card sizes make everything way more difficult than it should be xS My favorite for now is the Gamegenic Casual variant, not the Prime weirdly enough, it has bad inner pages quality while costing more (?), the casual is very clear and tight, fits Yugioh cards pretty well. I have a Blue one and a White one with matching pages colors, really good looking. Sleeves: BY FAR, bar none, the best sleeves are, and it's not even close, Strictly Sealed's Arcane Sleeves. I tried everything (Dragon Shield are the second best option) and in terms of looks they are 10 steps ahead over everybody else, not for play, but for binders they are flawless. We buy cards to admire them and these sleeves make cards look 25% better. Highly reccomend looking into them!

No, Yugioh is NOT dying. The get-rich-quick types; especially Americans, got spoiled by the Pandemic Era gains - and are still getting spoiled by Pokemon (and One Piece) even now. OCG has had Rarity Collection for a very long time, and it was never considered a problem there.

@brianlauria 4 ай бұрын

Starlights were always over-hyped and people who bought them as an investment were stupid. Collectors rares were also overhyped. Random crappy ones fetching over $50 each. Back in the day, cards would appreciated naturally overtime. Same with OTS ultis.... they used to be like $30-40 but before rarity collection; everyone that would come out would start at $100+ which is just silly. Don't buy things at inflated prices. I am glad investors have been stung because they thought they had super safe investments taking no risk and buying up everything they can find.

I think an OCG rarity spread in core sets would be fine. I think the OCG practice of reprinting cards in identical rarities (what I am mainly complaining about) is a mistake.

Hey, thanks for the support. I don't mind reprints at all, so long as the reprint is in a different rarity (and I do prefer if there is a clear "high rarity" for a card). Players need reprints and it also helps budget collectors to reprint in rarities that are secret or lower.

@Watomarmelon 4 ай бұрын

My understanding is that it is not short-printed (but is only available in QCR). I'm not a huge fan -- the card is somewhat playable and so it should therefore be accessible to the masses in some lower rarity as well. Printing cards in high rarity doesn't solve the problem; the problem lies with Konami reprinting cards in nearly identical rarities.
