I Spent $1,000 On TCGPlayer (NOT AGAIN!)

[@CrystalStarDragon]

Glad to see Mystic TCG get a small shout out. I've both shopped at their physical location and ordered from tcgplayer and never had issues with conditions.

[@chanman5851]

Your background starting to look very nice. All you need is the millennium shield and the petite moth on the background it’ll be perfect. Keep up with the great content.

[@benjaminholdegraver8909]

As an employee of MysticTCG, we appreciate the shoutout!

[@Happyeye]

Hey that's my main store!

[@themagicbro977]

Store i go to for one piece!

[@Ruxin34]

Thanks for doing good work🫡

[@4o4err0r.]

Cap

[@metabuu]

I guess I just got unlucky because my product from mystic never arrived

[@ebreggie8783]

The star drawing will always be a legendary Ruxin moment. And that Lyna has no centering!

[@ThagomizerZ]

There is a reason Chat is often the rival name in Pokémon playthroughs.

[@cut2000trees]

I work for MysticTCG! Im glad you were happy with the cards!!

[@shr512]

I saw a comment on one of your previous TCGPlayer shenanigans saying you should send the cards you get for grading, I think that would be a great video.

[@sodlosz]

This series is always fun. Maybe not lucrative, but fun.

[@BobCCLIV]

Oh and as for what you're saying about the tape I totally agree. I've seen people use the sticky part of a post it note that works super well, keeps the toploader clean and easy to remove.

[@RC_94]

SimplyUnlucky - Too obnoxious Cyberknight - Too Boring Team APS- Too Cringey Ruxin - 👌🏼

[@josephreyes8687]

Lmao. There is a lot of truth to it.

[@Saulpreciadofrausto]

Rcadeslayer on twitch 🔥

[@Paul-vq6jk]

Ruxin knows to little about Yugioh. There are sets that came out in like 2015, and he is not sure whether they came out before or after 2010.

[@ZackeroniAndCheese]

Oh no that 1st ed JD is bent... Dang. Everything else is sick

[@DLegend16]

Looking forward to more of these as well as other video formats that don’t necessarily involve openings! When’s the next episode of guess that price?!

[@TheBulbaStore]

Love this series!

[@heeroyuy9925]

Oh shoot, did not expect to see you here! Love your channel 😂

[@SaltmantheCloser]

A bend that goes all the way down the card top to bottom, is damaged imo.

[@domonkasshu71]

Looked like the Brilliant Fusions had the UTR Squares on the back, but otherwise they all looked good. (Minus Judgement Dragon. That was rather unfortunate)

[@whiddon101]

Yeah some of them definitely did. Unfortunately most everyone utr has those stamping so really can’t count of on condition for that cause it’s just how they come straight out of the pack.

[@JCat92]

Seeing these buys come back and the results down the road are always cool!

[@rook9710]

Sad to hear about the Judgment Dragon condition. That's also the card I am the most excited about. I watched the older TCGPlayer video and I am still surprised at how many meme Zushin cards were bought.

[@MillenniumBulbyTCG]

Wish I knew I woulda recomend ulti droll. Excited to follow this series again. Eclessia is a wild card

[@SageKillah]

Chris, the homie. 😎I'm ready for the PUR drolls 🤤

[@AshwinSelvakumar]

Looking decent so far. There is a chance this time Rux makes some value back. Especially if Zushin goes up in price😂😂

[@lucaderighetti7653]

I think it can go pretty well this year. DPE will definitely reenter the meta at some point, and JD was a great investment considering the new Lightsworn support, hopefully you can buy one in good shapes before the Lightsworn cards start to get expensive

[@SageKillah]

12:07 Those are just print lines! The PURs are full of them.

[@smlamar222]

This is one of my favorite series you do! Something about it is just so fun (I love the other stuff also of course!)

[@Jowahotz90]

Besides the star light and the box i dunno about making money back sadly😢

[@sluggernott]

I get frustrated with clear tape on my card orders too. I use masking/painter's tape for my sales. Peels off easy and doesnt leave any residue, which means you can reuse the top loader.

[@nervadaloxqs9468]

Really enjoy this series , its interesting and kinda funny (well probably not for your wallet but :D ) I sincerely doubt you gonna make profit from this purchase but I do hope so :) Its also nice and useful that you credit sellers who respected their part of the deal on the card condition and packaging .

[@AzalBC]

Always something man. Star on your fiber jar last year and line through your Dragon. Good luck getting that sorted

[@hoopbaby07]

When I send my cards I put them in card savers , and then sleeves , cut 2 card board shape of card savers, then place them in a dvd case keeps them from moving or getting damaged in general

[@BobCCLIV]

I love this series! The entertainment is there even your value isn't, lol

[@shinigamiking69]

Tell u a tip when it comes to using a knife to open taped top loaders or boxes use a knife that has a sharp tip and wrap the full blade with electrical tape except for about 2 to 3 mm of the tip 5 mm at max that way u dont have to worry about over penetration of the blade causing damage

[@snowwhiteblade]

I don't know much about yugioh card values, but I do enjoy watching someone who does talking about it so passionately.

[@juannavarro8497]

Nice to see the cards arrive! If I'm honest, seeing how the market is deflating, I don't think the prices will go up. But I do hope they actually rise, and that you at least keep the value of it!

[@faridgarcia8558]

I like to much this series, Even if You gain or not more than You spent.... Keep doing like this!! Good vibes and pulls, i mean, cool crads. Ps: even damaged, man, that judgment dragon as secret is ggggorgeous

[@_TCJay_]

Great buys! I think you’ll definitely see fluctuation both ways, but hopefully overall you’re looking at a profit by next year!

[@mattargent9082]

I’m hopeful it’s a good investment year Rux! Sending you luck and love!

[@BooManter]

Not too bad definitely nice to see what a buyer prefers when it comes to packaging

[@regalseagullGA]

Have you ever done a video going through different conditions? I always have trouble determining LP, MP, and HP. I mean mint is mint and damaged is damaged. But, i struggle with the in-betweens.

[@PurepowerFL]

Love this “investment” videos! Keep crushing Rux🙌

[@no_russiangaming8841]

This year was definitely a break even for myself but I'm sure you'll have the superior luck lol. Always love your vids even before I was subbed lol. Keep it up and can't wait for more!!!

[@AlexanderMichael87]

Pretty nice cards! Glad to see at least some sellers not using tape and bad packaging.

[@ajfornes6728]

That judgement dragon hurt my soul. Also will definitely have to check out some of these sellers, love seeing team bags!

[@Undici]

Ooh... can't wait to see how this lot does in the future market! I reckon there will be a mix of ups and downs, got a bad feeling it'll be mostly down... but I'd like to be proven wrong! :D

[@ernestodeanda5251]

Actually not too bad 😂 and that meme card !!!

[@Beastjon21]

Integrity has always meant more to me than making a little more money. Those extra couple dollars are never worth making a customer feel like they got scammed

[@iyten]

Always interesting to see the price fluctuations

[@iland95]

Hopefully this years a positive!!

[@henrymqk2284]

The meme purchases were hilarious, the little D and the sleeping giant - I was looking at TCGPlayer in real time and saw ruxin's purchases and was laughing it up 😂😂. If I were the seller I'd have packaged some petite moths for ruxin to increase the meme factor

[@intoxified2032]

TCGPlayer openings are always such a mess, but such a blast

[@stargazer4784]

Here for the TCGplayer NM memes. Was not disappointed. I predict that a lot of money will be lost on this one by the time you do the review next year.

[@StarlightAmvs]

I think this year won't be to bad. Im always on hold with tcg player since the cards are 50/50 with what you actually wanted for condition

[@Kami-my9rn]

some nice cards in there always used cardmarket but nice to see your opinion on tcgplayer.

[@Evrae07]

I'm thinking your purchases will do pretty well this year. Though the meme purchases will make things funky

[@jashinninja]

I think that on the judgment dragon it is a roller line not a bend it could still be fresh from the pack. Can't say for shure.

[@lefthandfree1997]

Me: Mom can we get stock market. Mom: we have stockmarket at home! Stockmarket at home: (Also the man who sold you that judgment dragon should be banned from selling cards again… also decapitated, but mainly innregards to his ability to sell online)

[@xyzcreate]

What would you say to the Judgment Dragon seller after 2 months of having the card?

[@SaltmantheCloser]

Link them the video.

[@dbzboogie9874]

A lot of fun cards! Tragic about the judgment dragon, hopefully that gets resolved!

[@RakaTwo13]

I'd bet the sealed product will do far better than any of the singles. It's so hard to keep consistent value in any cards past 2010

[@AdreusGames]

This series is always super fun to follow

[@matthewcallaway5223]

Hey you might lose some money on the card value but if you’re having fun that’s the most important part! I definitely enjoy watching these videos and am so glad to be back into Yugioh thanks to you and a couple other guys!

[@vSmokex]

Yugioh ended last year off with some amazing products and so far this year is going good with even more amazing sets to come Definitely a great year to invest

[@rodchester3]

i love this series - can't wait for more priceless fiber jar's!

[@BobSagetOMEGA]

mystic TCG stonks about to go up! Those brilliant fusions qualities were top notch

[@kingrmz4]

Its always fun seeing these the judgement dragon wouldve been my favorite if it didnt have the damage

[@DragonBoyAC]

Not to sound like a boomer, but I really do miss the old days when near mint - meant *near* mint. - and mint, meant mint. Ever since all these price hounds got involved in trading cards everything is so much more critical to the point of ridiculousness. Because everybody is trying to get a mint card at a near mint price; and so on and so forth down the condition scale. A 2013 near mint is now a light play, play - and it logistically doesn’t make sense.

[@abod006]

This is more fun having not seen what chat made you purchase previously

[@davidmcentyre2329]

I love how you got all your mail. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting on like 12 cards to come in the mail and have yet to see them and it’s been about a month.

[@StardustMagician420]

Who ever gave you that judgement dragon wanted you to have their DNA lol

[@RadiantClaire]

I think mostly everything will be a good investment, my only worry is with Lyna cuz the charmer links seem like really good cards for rarity collection 2

[@Sukasaha]

Love this series and most of the cards came as described!

[@cawrhy]

Ayyy Play To Win Games shoutout at 8:57, lets go!

[@WillTNFmusic]

Very nice! Love those ultimate rares! Great condition

[@MangoBBT]

Curious how well the 25th Anniversary LOB box will do

[@tommacpherson5852]

Aha this miniseries always makes me laugh 😂

[@jakelee4141]

I’m always apprehensive when it comes to ordering singles from TCGPlayer. I haven’t gotten back good quality cards in terms of being gradable

[@exonerous1710]

I think it all depends on the entire yugioh popularity/market for years to come but got some great cards in there so im hopeful!

[@crunchg262]

Some good purchases. Sucks about the condition on that JD, though.

[@rockmandude173]

I think you’ll profit overall. You had some good picks. The Judgement Dragon might hurt though.

[@sluggernott]

Man, that Judgment Dragon is an abomination. That's a huge red flag. Any decent lighting shows that bend. I wish sellers would do better

[@FreeStyle6991]

it's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get

[@bobtheboulder4949]

so disappointed at the JD 😫😫 The brilliant fusions though looked quality! The meme purchases too were hilarious

[@darkopp5870]

I started watching ypu in october , wow time flyes

[@StrelitziaVA]

apart from the meme cards, this year looks way way better than last. Also what i think is worse than the crappy scotch tape on the toploarder is people taping SLEEVES

[@sticktendo]

Mirage of Nightmare was my donation pick lol, holding out for it to be the random old long forbidden card that comes off this year.

[@FabioRubini]

with all the reprints it's hard to say if it is a good investment but we hope so! btw that Mirage of Nightmare is clean af

[@michaelmike1175]

More investment video and also I believe this year will be a good investment Ruxin!

[@MrChazzels]

As a seller on TCG (10K+ sales 100% feedback) , PLEASE Consider using masking tape if youre gong to use tape. Its cheaper then scotch and it easier to remove. OR you can buy wall safe scotch tape or even painters tape.

[@Ruxin34]

Masking tape is a solid choice!

[@alexjarquin9891]

I am just now finding out Ruxin34 is TN based ???!!!! Holy shit greetings from Nashville, TN

[@hippodude97]

I think your investments will be pretty good this time around!

[@TheArdorous]

Good luck on the buys. Hopefully they don't tank.

[@whiddon101]

I would for sure return the JD but as slight as that bend was I’m hoping that the seller just missed it and it wasn’t sold as nm knowing it was bent.

[@deggoeggo]

Ultra ouch on the JD…That’s a real bummer

[@MTPacks]

Some good stuff! Love the meme cards 😂

[@chrisb7180]

It's good to see that you now own all the zushins which have been printed in North America. I don't think you'll make bank but you and the viewers had fun and that's all that matters right... 😂

[@jobro5506]

I still believe in our choices! Hopefully we profit a little bit! So sad about the judgment dragon 😢

[@heeroyuy9925]

My favorite series on KZbin.

[@VanFactor]

Just an FYI, you should hide tracking numbers if you don't want to dox anyone since people could just run that number in usps to find the history. The best way to top loader packaging is if they tape it with a fold so it's easy to peel off and I could reuse the toploader. I have only encountered 3 sellers that do that. And people do need to learn how to sleeve cards upside down in toploader or just put the card upside down, I don't know why 99% of sellers never do that to protect the product. I tried giving feedback once and the dude thought I spit in his cereal. I think it will be a -$500 investment at end of year at least lol.

[@morowley9398]

Hopefully small hit on the profit initially then about 2 year mark should be about 15-25% profit on hold.

[@Billy_Wyatt]

People still labeling the condition of their cards wrong. What a shame because judgement dragon is such a sick old school boss monster.

[@rikupb9876]

I don't know much about the cards but... THE SIGN looks amazing

[@mjloquias3839]

Best investment for some cards, some are not. We'll see. Keep it up Sir Rux!

[@antoniowilbert1377]

I think only you can determine what’s worth it to you to purchase 💯 sometimes it’s not about monetary value.
