Investing & Collecting Korean YuGiOh Cards in 2023?!

[@__Cool]

I want to share out my personal opinion on Korean cards. I really like how they are very cheap and very fun to open, I use the cards to play with friends and the rarities are so beautiful. I DO NOT buy them to expect to gain value. In short terms, Fun over money for these Korean printed cards 😄

[@adamhamre2045]

You should take a look at, and discuss Korean EV (Tournament Secret Rare Cards), as well as Korean AE (Advanced Event Pack) Secret Rare cards. The KR-AE is their version of OTS packs basically. They do have some exclusive rarities of cards, unique only to Korea region.

Super cool video! Love your two cents in addition to other content creators such as Schloast

[@pain8712]

There are actually quite a lot of interesting secret rares from structure decks or expansion packs that are korean exclusive :) Also korean ultis have the japanese stamp from CDIP and onwards so they're definitely not really interesting for this reason alone^^

[@wartozen]

actual korean duelist here. I'm pretty surprised that people actually buy our cards. By the way, korean yugioh has been adding new rarities recently like 25th secret rare(we didn't have 20th secret rare, so this is nice), secret rare red version, and collectors rare. Also, the prices have gotten up, the old packs in this video are 500won, and today booster packs are usually 1000won, and they seem to be raising prices of packs like legendary collection.

[@typingtaco]

Hi! I'm from Spain and use to buy korean first booster boxes from eBay. I'm curious to know about the real prices… please, could you tell me how much cost for example LOB, LON or MFC booster box there? I used to pay around 30€ ~32$

[@wartozen]

@@typingtaco old booster boxes used to be 15000won, and now they're 30000won ever since darkneostorm. premium packs are 30000won per box, but they only have 15packs per box while booster packs have 30. structure decks used to be about 8000won, and now they're about 11000won. deck build packs are 15000won and 15packs per box.

[@typingtaco]

@@wartozen Wow thanks so much for the info. So I pay around about 41000won for old booster boxes.

[@typingtaco]

@@wartozen wow thanks so much for the info. I really apreciate it. Now I use to pay around 43000won from eBay… a little bit more than you told me but not too much. What do u think? Thanks again :)

[@ElMunas]

Most of my goat format cards are in KR. Love them!

[@r2gh44]

Got 15AX in Korean because the japanese box cost like 1000 euros. I don't really see a difference anyway. Happy with my purchase

[@ma.2099]

Very few Korean cards worth collecting. They are all prize cards. Wishing that TCG would make some great prize cards unrelated to YCS. For example, getting OTS ultimate rare prize cards in addition to the OTS ultimate packs. More lower level prize cards would be amazing.

[@BilingualJP]

I also don't know anyone really collecting Korean. Would love to meet someone doing so.

[@Lee-dh6rk]

Actually Korean ultimate rare like 1st edition and early-printed unlimited which has a exactly same foiling as 1st edition has their value gaining over the time, but not the recently reprinted one,normally with less beautiful foiling and can be purchased easily,the personal reason why I choose Korean ultimate rare 1st Ed and early printed one is their foiling are way more better than most NA or EU print, and are way more cheaper than Asian English one, but the bad news is they are really hard to find and identify the early-printed version are time-consuming. And in some small markets, these cards keeps gaining value bbecause they are not increasing in amount.

[@mikegreen2701]

Love that you're spotlighting these gorgeous cards bro. I have to disagree about RDS though - I pulled a Korean Creator and Thestalos and they look incredible. NA RDS also has certain print runs that have EU style embossing. It's strange but when you see a nice embossed RDS you will know what I mean

[@BilingualJP]

RDS is an exception that is correct. I also wrote it in the video but maybe you missed it 🙏

[@tekmang5053]

@@BilingualJP At 6:37 the video says RDS doesn't have that EU quality / it's under the "Don'y buy these" section - or was this incorrect?

Some look good so you can definitely go for RDS 😊

Some Korean-cards are not that bad, That‘s why i have some:D

[@Phoenix649]

Really informative! I live in the UK, where would I be able to pick up some Korean sets/ultis?

[@BilingualJP]

eBay !

Ich habe jahrelang den ersten Koreanischen LOB Blue-Eyes in 1st Edition PSA gehabt. Einer der seltensten Versionen. Leider hab ich sie Verkauft🕺🥲

[@BilingualJP]

Super schade :( hast du ein Foto ?

[@MasterMarik]

Good info, just came across this video. I'm hoping your knowledge on korean cards can actually help me, as it seems no one else has been able to so far. I have been searching for the secret rare Chimeratech Fortress Dragon that comes in the Duelist Pack Zane Truesdale special edition box. This has been one of my favorite cards for so long and it's the only way to get it in my favorite rarity. Any help as to where to go to look would be so greatly appreciated. I am also considering buying a couple boxes of SOI or TAEV just to open and pull some Sacred Beasts and the holographic rare Rainbow Dragon, my grail card. Any advice on the most trustworthy places to order booster boxes from would be appreciated as well.

[@BilingualJP]

I cant help you since Im from Germany. You are prob. from the US. We have different ways/stores of getting our products.

[@maxamaldi2885]

Really nice and informative video you earned a sub from me I am currently trying to get my hands on a playset of the korean secret rare version of E Hero Absolute Zero but don't know where to get them as I am living in Germany and don't have a connection to Korea/Japan Do you know where I can order ocg cards that ship to EU?

[@BilingualJP]

Wenn du aus Deutschland bist kann ich dir bestimmt helfen. Schreib mir bei Instagram gerne deine WhatsApp Nummer 🙏

[@slyrak9926]

Nice content Niko but I disagree a bit at least regarding the statement of the 1st Ed´s. 1st Ed´s Korean are one of the rarest cards you can collect in YugiOh. You have to be really lucky finding some in great condition. Well, and many collectors, but not all of them, love rare things. Keep up your great work!

[@BilingualJP]

What exactly You disagreeing on? Can you explain one more time? I didn't understand 🙏

[@slyrak9926]

@@BilingualJP If I remember correctly, at some point in the video you mention that instead of spending vast sums of money on 1st Ed's, you can also purchase TCG cards or so. That's what my comment was referring to. Since I pay a premium for something that is rare and hard to come by. Just for example: Korean 1st MFC, Lob or Starter Deck‘s all of them are really hard to find in great condition. Maybe it‘s just me but I love when cards are really rare! :)

[@BilingualJP]

@@slyrak9926 ahhh okay now i understand!! My point was: why buy a 1st Ed in Korean if it looks exactly the same in the tcg for cheaper. But your right. If you want the rarest Korean 1st Ed is super scarce. It was more of a personal opinion. I wouldn't do that. Best example is my Asian English Ultimate rare collection. They are not only rare but also deliver a unique look✌️

[@DeusTex-Mex]

I have a whole pack of the Korean first editions I got way back. Opened them and slid them all back in the sleeve. Holographic Gaia the Fierce Knight is in it. IDK how to sell these, there's some guy on ebay with one listed for ~$750, and his is really beat up. But I can't imagine who would buy it. It's really hard to tell what they're worth, not a lot of info out there in English that I can find.

[@g3rman_c0llect0r]

Some cards are more affordable in Korean to fill some spaces until you can afford the japanese ones 🤭😁

[@blackblack1555]

Nicht verkehrt, könnte die Einstiegswelt für die AE Ultis sein. Die KR Ultis kommen schon teilweise sehr nah ran 😅

[@Phoenix649]

Just noticed, @7mins did you open a TLM pack and get a CRV ulti?

[@BilingualJP]

No freaking way 😮😮😮😮😮 i did 😂😂 wow that's amazing🎉

Wow didn't notice that as well lol

[@askeletalghost]

Hi, do you know if there is any physical difference between cards from Advanced Event Pack 2021 Vol.1 Version 1 and Advanced Event Pack 2021 Vol.1 Version 2? I'm trying to collect every different skull servant and this confuses me (great channel by the way)

[@BilingualJP]

Sorry I haven't even heard of that pack yet

[@askeletalghost]

thanks anyway, @@BilingualJP 1 last question, I'm desperate to find BP1-KR101 you have any cues where I might find a copy?

[@BilingualJP]

@@askeletalghost no Korean cards are difficult to source because there is no market not even for me

[@K87jk]

I collect all cards as long as they are Mint, NM or VLP. TCG for the secret rares and promos, OCG mostly for insanely expensive GX and 5ds ulties which again look awesome in Korean print. Also some of these Korean ulties sell for even up to a 100$ so they are deff not to be discarded because there is a market for them and I don't agree with this video. NA, EU, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, German it don't matter to me as long as its a really well kept copy and I want the card. I am a collector for myself not one of these people that milks people for money and views cards as an investment...

[@kellvinmonato5228]

Tried asking if they can be used here in PH oh but man, Open format only :( only Japanese, Chinese and AE are usable here. It breaks my heart. Korean Yugiohs are ocg too so why?

May I ask how rare my spring battle EV10-kr005 blackwong kalut is? Nobody in my region has been able to tell me how hard they are to obtain.

[@BilingualJP]

No idea about KR cards sry

[@Nightmare_1989]

❤❤❤ top video

[@_retrospecs]

Why do you think OCG ultimates are worth so little compared to their NA counter parts? Some specific examples with drastic price differences are the cyber dragons and the sacred beasts

[@franrc265]

GX sets were overprinted in Japan while in NA, it was the opposite where early gx was quite under printed. This was due to yugioh's falling popularity in the west up until around ston so they are a lot more rare here due to high demand and low supply.

[@_retrospecs]

@@franrc265 pops still low in Japanese though as well idk the disparity seems pretty nuts

[@franrc265]

@@_retrospecs I'm not complaining though. As a budget collector, Japanese cards are great since they are usually cheaper than NA/EU and look amazing! Yes, I know there's Korean, but I can read some Japanese so I prefer that to Korean cards.

[@BilingualJP]

Its the amount of cards printed and demand. OCG ultis from the GX era especially were printed quite a lot. Idk how closely you are following prices but since TCG went down a lot the difference is not that big as it was 1-2 years ago.
