I Spent $1,000 On TCGPlayer (Curse You Rarity Collection)

Buddy Rarity Collection 2 is around the corner. Collections will take further hits.

[@tungquannguyen8674]

I think you forgot to multiply the Little D price by 3 since you bought 3 of them. Not like it would've changed much, but still xD The losses are rough, but this series is so fun, so I hope you'll keep doing it, and maybe buying better next time 😊😊

[@thatepicwizardguy]

I said it before... its insane to like rarity collection style products at all as a collector because theyre HORRIBLE for you people. However, theyre insanely good for basically everybody else because they tank card prices lol I wish MTG would tank prices like yugioh haha itd make the game way more playable

[@kamiraanddie12394]

For real. Been wanting to collect MTG, but when new boxes are 400 bucks in release, it's just not worth it imo.

[@JustinViolette-m8o]

That's why as a collector, I don't mess around with English cards. Japanese card are just better in every single way.

Surprise surprise! The sealed products actually went up. Tricky ending story is just super rough

[@havinator666]

No profit from cards but 3 years of content has definitely helped u

[@dsammy8955]

Yeah I like the longer length. Like the commentary over the status of the cards.

[@101academics]

Let this be a learning case for people. 1 never buy modern product in the hopes that it will go up in price in the long run and 2 don't max rarity your deck as there will be a higher rarity of that card or similar which will tank the rarity of the original high rarity card you bought.

[@Norinrssurfer19]

This series is real interesting to me. It’s eye opening to see how tuff your job is

[@M-T-V_1994]

I think you're the only youtuber I watch daily. Definitely the only Yugioh content creator. You're the best! I hope channel growth supplements all the money lost.

[@tonywerner4440]

Love the series, helps me keep up with some pricing of my own collection. As always, thanks for the content!

[@matthewcallaway5223]

It will be really interesting to see where this series goes! Thanks for tracking all of it for us

[@Cyberdarkvoid12]

Always love the longer videos! Crazy to see how far this series has come as I’ve been here from the start! Hopefully yugioh comes back up in the next few years. Time to buy!

[@elvisced6446]

What i've learned from this series and something i'm doing myself is... thru time cards that aren't meta relevant will go down in price... I have a list of cards I need for my collection and since the first time I made the list they went from 1.3K to 850 USD and i mean some will go up a little but the majority will go down as the time passes by

[@SaulRadford]

Loving this series, can’t wait to see how much you’ve lost again

[@nistral]

definitely like the longer videos for these, don't feel like you have to rush man

[@sodlosz]

It seems that shiny cardboard does not appreciate in value. It only seems to work when you sell at peak value/hype spikes. Edit: 100% you should sell if you find any value appreciation. It's fun to see you follow the trends but it sucks to see you lose money. You should sell cards like you did with the Traptrix Traphole Nightmares. Edit 2: Glad my suggestion for the LOB box is paying off! Sealed product FTW!

[@RunicSigils]

It's funny that he's even seeing the box work out because they were $150 here and now they're down to 120. And the non LOB boxes are down to like 70 now from 85 - 95. And since we're talking about CAD just cut off a third if you want USD.

[@crimsonnoventa7381]

Unless it's Moonbreon

[@Vicman69Idrissi]

You even have an Excel document with the track of the money you spent, nice lol

[@Roobasu]

These was a lot of fun! Agree though that in the future doing the math ahead of time and just talking through it will be better!

[@alastortheradiodemon1929]

I hate it when things get lost through mail, one of the most infuriating things that can happen

[@Chris-jy4wr]

I like the detailed analysis - fun video!👍

[@xDaeWolf]

Love watching these videos Ruxin

[@jacobpearson8573]

Love these series

[@Evrae07]

Love these update vids. Year 1 is brutal. The reprints for sure hurt the values, but I think the big player is the covid boom waning.

[@E3N_Bierski]

*SHOW ME THE MONEY* !!!

[@juannavarro8497]

Well I can't believe Year 2 actually got some money back (kinda...?) and yeah... with RA02 coming soon, collections will get another big punch in the gut. Specially the Drolls! Let's see how it goes in the next 3 months for Year 3, I hope to see it go better!

[@PurepowerFL]

Should do a sealed vs singles investment video Keep crushing Rux 🙌

[@pkredjess]

Did he buy common gate guardians or secret gate guardians? Cus i think he checked commons the secrets are like a 1$ each

[@pkredjess]

He messed up lil d too

[@FREAKSHINee]

Take a look at the Accesscode Talker in Starligt from Crystal Revenge 😭

[@Tadick994]

With how many reprints that have been happening i dout anything other than the highest possible rarity will increase in any value

[@eldavo6786]

Series is fun, but the hits were hard... I think that sealed products are the safest option in the long run

[@heeroyuy9925]

My favorite yugitube series is back, so excited.

[@pokolol33]

It's funny how the packages that get lost are always the ones worth money. That's why I think tracked shipping for expensive stuff is almost a must.

[@RunicSigils]

The problem is tracked shipping always takes longer because more people think that way and the more time it spends in the system the more time it has to disappear. Been ordering online for many years and thousands of packages and never had one disappear. Unless you count the Amazon one where someone along the delivery path clearly shoved their fist into my box and stole half the order and then Amazon haggled with me to even get that half back because for 20 minutes they refused to do anything unless I sent the whole thing back even though I got half of it and didn't want that refunded. It having tracking didn't help with any of that. I will generally order from someone for the first time with tracking just in case they're not trustworthy but otherwise if possible I choose the option that doesn't have it. Why would I wait 6 to 8 days (if I'm lucky, sometimes it's over 20) for a tracked package that costs 12 to 90 dollars depending upon the selection, when I can pay $2 or 3 and they ship it in an envelope that arrives in 3 days? I regularly have tracked packages in country that take longer to get to me than it takes a normal piece of $1 shipping lettermail to get from Japan. No thanks.

[@nightflash262]

The thing about Yugioh is reprints after reprints so players can have easier access to meta cards therefore the value always dip or doesn't maintain for long. For collectors it has to be the highest rarity/rare to obtain cards to maintain it's value.

[@Tlcampbelljr1]

Spreadsheet dedication and skill is through the roof

[@cjh_collectibles]

That is so ironic that happened in May 2021 I also ordered a Judgment Dragon Secret on eBay and it got lost in the mail too it eventually did show up but I hope yours does too!

[@Risad]

The opening, love the optimism, lol.

[@hobbysmitty11]

Definelty gotta let sassy spend some the cheddar next time! Would be cool to see how your picks vs his vs chats do.

[@horchataguy91]

I would have cried if that Judgement Dragon would have been lost after getting a 2nd chance and missed a chance for a pack..the Postal Service sucks 🤣🤣

[@franrc265]

hopefully there will be a video in the future where ruxin gets the lost package eventually 😩

[@jadenkudo3008]

I usually don't follow the price, but I remember every year after the tin release, opening last year boosters became meaningless, because almost all higher rarity cards lost it's value.

[@josephhan3601]

Feel like you never know what will be reprinted so hard to make a positive investment

[@sermonking]

I think doing this comes with Great risk

[@DrahcirsComicsandThings]

nice to see the edison stuff doing okay for now

[@Billy_Wyatt]

It really hits when you see the price going down. The market will always surprise you.

[@Masked-Hero-Acid]

Should definitely look into moving some cards especially when they have a reprint on the horizon, always a great watch regardless

[@RoyaltonDrummer922]

This video actually makes me happy because it means people who play the game are getting cheaper cards 😊

[@mplis5233]

Always super informative vids

[@MrMoohaw]

One thing to note although I think I makes little diffrence overall. When you checked the price on Gate Guardian from Midterm Paradox you went to the Common print which is 0.03$ but it says you bought the secret rare. So you are still probably losing money on that aswell but not 99% XD

[@Ruxin34]

OOPS gotta fix that

[@ghost5828v]

I should’ve kept my Qcr Ash Blossom but panick sold it at $145 😭

[@TheBigDizz]

Sealed product is about the only thing worth holding. Even the top modern rares are really only worth holding if you acquired them for super cheap.

[@FloHallach]

Dude, the pessimism from the very start 😂😂

[@jedijunior420]

really a good way to keep up on your accounting skills!

[@mattfcruz52]

I also prefer these longer videos like this!

Love it when the Excel sheet comes out

[@AllHailShadow117]

Interested to see what’s in Rarity Collection 2. Still waiting before I order a box that me and some work buddies are gonna split

[@rodchester3]

i like how this series started when markets kept going up and there was a ton of hope - now we're all just masochists watching the prices drop xD

[@HapsterHap]

Funnily enough, if you bought stuff FROM rarity collection shortly after its release, you’d be in the STONKS

[@CardKingAce14]

crazy how so many cards in RA01 went up very high, except the cards Ruxin purchased.

[@tommacpherson5852]

Ahaha it always gets sadder and sadder each time in this series

[@Sigma13Angel]

NGL the longer video for this check in was super soothing. It’s nice to view while working out surprisingly.

[@BobSagetOMEGA]

Rarity collection did do damage to the market, but the singles in that set have done a lot of growth!

Everything going down and I just keep buying lol

You aren't down as much this year. You didnt take into account that you got 3 little d

[@kashieishome]

Some gains on year 3 but yeah with all the reprints and as time goes on it'll go down inevitably but hopeful for stonks later in the upcoming years to come!

[@richardmorin6965]

Love the check-ins even though it doesn't always work out!

[@MTGUnpacked]

I can picture Konami watching these videos to come up with reprint targets for those rare occasions where you make money! Curious if things would play out differently with graded cards?

[@realbillymiller1011]

Loved this, how about a virtual portfolio of just sealed product.

[@the_tc_g]

guess you should one of these with only sealed products, these seem to do way better

[@exonerous1710]

Should seal that collasal fighter away for making you some profit 😅

[@chrischineseman1454]

This is very organized and I am here for it. Rarity 2 will tank ur lists tho

[@shirt-boxs6962]

Your next series should be on sealed items to see if you get good value after a year.

Seems like the lesson is collect to appreciate and not to profit haha

ahhhh selll your drolls. The price is up casue everyone thought it was needed for fire format but they are getting a reprint in RA02

Had u all day on the ulti colossal fighter. Still holdin mine too bud, lets go year 2!

[@dalexcards]

I know from a collector point the reprints suck but as a guy just getting back into it after 20 years im happy for the reprints else i would have had to spend alot more money to build my deck lol

Year 2 carrying the TCG player series with that increase lol

[@hoila4718]

but i still love you, great format

[@Olaxdron]

Yeah rarity collection hit the prices really hard and it doesn't help that the next one is soon

[@lolforpokemon]

Unless something gets bought out or becomes insanely useful, isn’t it practically impossible to have your investment go up and make a profit If you sell on tcg you eat 15% on the sale already, so just to break even you’d need to list your card 15% higher than what you bought for if you sell back on tcg, and then to even make money the market price has to have gone up at least 16% and that’s not even considering taxes

[@no_russiangaming8841]

Shouldn't be too bad this year interested to see how it goes lol

[@Sukasaha]

Love this series! Definitely didn’t make profit because of reprints but still cool cards!

[@jclendaniel1694]

All this video tells me is now is the time to buy shiny cardboard while prices are going down 😂

[@Undici]

Yugioh is hardly a good investment, unless you buy really cheap :P Silent Swordsman's going to go down even further with Rarity Collection II reprinting it with new art, which is gorgeous by the way :)

[@tcgcollector8686]

Another great video !🎉

This guy got me so good with his fucking april fools omg,

[@connortreacy9425]

Sometimes you just can’t get a card. Kept happening to me with Albion the Sanctifire Dragon so I just gave up on playing branded

[@braxtoncomix]

It’s very rare to see anything from an investment like this go up in value lol

[@Lister_F]

While I know investing in the cards themselves is not worth it. Buy cards to play not to invest. Sealed product on the other hand does go up. Depending on what you buy. Either way I still like seeing these videos. It’s interesting to see the fluctuations.

[@saviorselfX29]

Welllllllll, at least you have people like us to help soften the blow of all your losses. 😅 But yeah, as long as Yu-Gi-Oh! continues to be printed, eventually stuff will bounce back to an extent as people try to pick up specific copies of certain cards. So hold onto hope that someday, somehow, you’ll turn a profit on this collection. 🤣

[@dbzboogie9874]

Man a bit rough of investments 😅 rarity really took its toll. Drolls was great though, wish we bought a ton of those!
