No, because TCG value is one of the most unstable “investments” a person could make a mistake to get involved in. It has all the problems of collecting contemporary art and memorabilia, with the threat of decline in game popularity added on top. I say this as someone who *paid for college* convincing people to buy Unlimited Moxes, Black Lotuses, and Blue Power for 200% of high Scrye. No one who isn’t sitting on millions should ever emulate this “investment strategy.” Love your vids man, but that’s the truth as I see it.

[@Unseen-ec2rp]

You can get into collecting at any price range at any age. For example I just picked a bulk yugioh collection for 15 bucks off a vender in north California. I have not had time to look threw it but out of the few cards I pulled out I got 4 Kuriboh 2 of them where SYE-019 the first world wide release and MRD-071 the first release period. Also if your Fallowing the hot card of the month your just chasing trends and your collection will suffer, and watch out for bootlegs.

[@RohanDaDev]

This should be top comment.

[@PainandMotivation]

And over time, cards oxidize if they are not protected like the PSA cards or their competition. Cards value go up and down over time. There will always be a bubble with cards. Any type of cards. Team Samurai should sell those cards ASAP because you never know when the bubble can happen.

[@bobbytremmel8078]

Never really understood long term investments on cards. Even if your cards did go up, you have to find a buyer and VERY rarely you will find someone that will take them at the price you want.

[@FrozenMoonOfficial]

Some cards like Pokémon,Hockey cards and Baseball card are known to be collectible people always wants. I’m not a sport cards collector, but for Pokémon I know this is true. I have some cards that doubled in price, if not way more in like 5-7 years. But yes, it’s very risky, so you should just collect the cards you like and if they rise, welp, cool for you. 🙃 However, cards like magic and Yugio are mostly popular because of their game and not for the collection itself. You are right, It is a bad investment if it’s not for yourself. 🥲

[@KompletterGeist]

I just want to mention that although these guys know what they're talking about, they are going through the cards and ESTIMATING the value...So the 54.000 dollards could EASILY be an overestimation and when he'd actually sell those cards, he might not even get back his 40k Notice how often they say "400$ to 500$" or "200$ - 300$" ..like bro...thats a variance of 20-50%

The only way a deck is costing you a $1000 is if either you litterally are starting from no collection and are buying everything in in original print (e.g ash blossoms first print is still a little steep), you tried to do it from sealed packs or someone ripped you off, once you have the staples your new deck will probably reasonably only cost you a couple of hundred. I've changed deck 3 times jn the last 2 years or so and it's only cost me like 250 each time (and that's on release and or close too) despite the overall value off the deck being nearly a grand.

[@tristentruitt1309]

@@tickledeggz homie I made a joke. It's not a psychoanalysis to see if I got ripped off lmao. I ain't ever bought a deck for 1k.

Problem with TCG collecting as an investment is that it’s such a young market who knows when a particular TCG is just gonna fall off. MTG was the first. That was 93. Which means gen x and gen y were the first generations to be exposed to TCGs and because they’ve had the time to accumulate the wealth needed to make the high dollar card purchases. Pokémon is still insanely popular with the younger generation. The MTG crowd is definitely aging a bit but there is still a significant amount of young blood there too. Yu Gi Oh I admittedly haven’t played in over 20 years but does still seem to attract a good bit of young blood from what I’ve seen. The thing is will the young TCG players when they get older be interested in collecting the same cards we value so highly, or will they have their own groups of cards from this era that they value higher than ours? When the gen x/y crowd willing to drop a few grand on power 9s are all in assisted living will gen z be willing to fork over the cash or will they go for more modern cards they have personal attachments to? I really don’t know. I feel mostly the same about toys too. If I was gonna invest in collectibles it’d probably be sealed boxes of football/basketball/baseball cards, comics of known scarcity, and (ungraded) vintage video games. I’m glad he did well on his investment just don’t hold onto them long enough to lose your gains. Investing in something u love is tricky because it can be hard to let go of your collection sometimes

[@Nomad11245]

I looked up some of those card numbers and some of the value in the estimates is nowhere near what he said. Lol in my opinion it'd probably be worth 20% of what the video says the collection is worth & this is coming from someone that's been collecting Yu-Gi-Oh since 1999

[@KuKuKlock123]

If there’s one thing I learned from Pawn Stars; just because an item have a certain value doesn’t mean you will get that value for it. There’s asking price and price sold; and if you’re selling on tcgplayer or eBay, they take a cut too. AND, you still have the card 1 year later so you didn’t make any money. The demand and collector market for yugioh isn’t like Pokémon, where there is a steady demand for collectible cards.

[@uthmanibn-jafar1159]

Investing in ANY tcg is extremely risky... and Yugioh is pretty much the last tcg that anyone should try investing in. Not going to get into all the reasons why, but the short answer is that the market characteristics simply don't allow for it.

[@chblegendary165]

I had remember getting and trading for Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl and I’m pretty sure I had both of them in mint condition because I wasn’t running them in my decks. Sadly I gave all my cards away when I stopped playing and collecting

[@bencheevers6693]

I know magic, I don't know yugioh, but I thought it was fishy, I searched through the video 5 times and checked the prices, they are insane, like for instance Cyber Barrier Dragon, they peg it at 70$, a near mint is 5 bucks on ebay, same set, set printing, same first edition, a graded version has sold for more but keep in mind grading costs 25 bucks per, it's a crapshoot, even with nm cards out of the pack you get back whatever from 7-10 the whole thing is a scam really, nm is supposed to be an 8 which is an unblemished card with no visible imperfections, so you lose that and then fees and then storage and insurance fees which are small comparatively but they're a few percent and there are only 15 graded copies sold on ebay in the last 3 years. So overall the guy pegs his value at 70 bucks, it really sells for 5, if he grades a 9 he could 70 maybe on auction after spending 25 and then spending on the fees I mentioned., I don't know what he paid, but it's not a good outlook

[@superbleifrei5882]

Konami doesn't want you to collect and buy from others, they want to sell their product that's why they reprint every card like at least 4 times and release cards that'll get banned 3 months in. I started collectin not too long ago and I'm honestly glad i didn't start earlier, most of the 40$+ cards i pulled last year are now 30 cent bulk cards. You can collect yugioh cards only for fun, in a game which is not very beginners friendly, all the pros switch to pokemon, Yugioh loses player by player. They reprint old sets to get nostalgia customers to buy, just to have them realise they bought absolute junk... and even if a set doesn't sell Konami doesn't care, cause all the card stores have to buy konami's sets and are then stuck with loads of worthless cardboard. There used to be a lot more card stores in my region, they are all gone now but one. Wouldn't surprise me if most of them had to close because of crap like that...

I know there are sites like cardmarket and etc, but when you can't see the card in-hand, it's hard to tell what any of these cards would be graded as. Heck, it's not even because the cards I want to buy themselves are worth that much. I just want to get PSA graded cards of iconic cards I like, for display purposes.

Everybody is gangster with their TCG collections until you actually have to sell them. Nobody will buy a fringe Ultimate Rare from you quickly. Nobody needs these cards, hence people will usually lowball you and the wonderfully high prizes on TCGplayer don‘t actually apply to your cards. What are good investments are cards people need where you can make short term profit. Let it be a card that begins to see play or older cards that become playable again. This is what most people don‘t get. My TCG collection is worth a ton, but I could never sell it quickly. Hence, it is simply not worth that much. If there is an emergency and I needed the money right away I would have to sell it what under marketprice.

I don't like the term counterfeit for the flame wingman. It's not a fake card. It is simply a licensing dispute issue. Yes because Konami didn't authorize it, it has less value but it isn't a counterfeit. That's like saying the record press company that handles the Beatles original tracks sent out unauthorized records, just because the Beatles didn't authorize it doesn't mean you don't own a record from the studio with their music on it.

[@StrictlySealed]

The card is different, even if you hold it in your hand. It was not printed by Konami, it was outsourced. It's not a leak on the market like Nike has, this is a complete knockoff.. That's extremely well made. Thanks for viewing the video.

[@Sagemod3_X]

@@StrictlySealed again it's a contract issue. Upper deck was the distributer for multiple regions but because Konami terminated the contract they weren't legally allowed to print these at the time. but they are printed as they would have been from a distributer (upper deck) up until the contract termination. Not konami licensed doesn't mean fake. Just not recognized but the Konami company due to contract issues. It would have been considered "real" if the contract hadn't been terminated.

[@Sagemod3_X]

It's the verbage I have issue with. It isn't like someone sat in their shop and custom made these.

[@StrictlySealed]

@@Sagemod3_X what you aren’t understanding is that Konami prints the cards not UDE. UDE arranges distribution only. If Nike produces shoes and sends them to footlocker. If footlocker takes these shoes and makes the same shoe but with slight differences. That is still a fake shoe lol. Doesn’t matter if footlocker distributes the shoe. Thanks for viewing the videos.

[@warriorofgod2700]

@@StrictlySealed probably a bad example. It's still a real shoe. Just not a Nike. So UDE made a card, a real card, just not a Konami card.

Wow I have that Magic Formula card too and many of the others but only the cards from Yugioh and Yugioh GX I have I didn’t realize my cards were worth this much now amazing thanks for the info

Due to lack of technical understanding of how to analyze the digital market , many people lose. More emphasis should be put into day trading and staking as I do with Maryjane Davies, Her skills set is topnotch.

[@henrysimon7213]

Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing Maryjane been mentioned here, didn’t know she has been good to so many people.

[@michaelparas1499]

She taught me how to utilize the volatility in trading and I make gain from trading despite the price chart. Also the fact that I was able to withdraw without any issues is what I love about trading with Mrs Maryjane.

I am just speechless how expensive those cards are. I still remember the most expensive card during my active time was Crush Card Virus which was like 150. I pulled Pot Of Duality and that was like 70 at that time.

Brooooooo I used to carry my decks in my pocket and stroll the neighborhood just in case…. It’s unfortunate you guys will never feel that feeling. Over 20 years ago. Just having in a binder but never thinking it would turn into a 2200 dollar card. The white cards are new. Never seen it. But each 1st addition he’s showed I’ve had at least 1 of them.

// if you sell german cards to germans etc. you can get quite a bit more - on european markets the German cards are usually quite expensive even compared to french or english //

why deleted your responds?

From my looking at the moment for the card i look ( not méta one's) it's the opposite french card are almost 2/3 times more expensive than the german or English ones

Since when do German cards go for less than North American printings? They usually catch a premium in Nort America for the novelty.

One thing is getting an estimate on the value of your collection and nother is thr actually sale value. Also some of the hight priced cards need to be graded and and hope is a 10.

tell me why i got some of these cards. made me dig up my old metal tins i kept them in… about to hit up a card shop

Does anyone use the Collectr app? Is there others similar to it? Maybe one that allows you to add the condition?

So what the fk was the grand total after the grading?

Wait the Hero cards are worth that much??? Need to find mine because I have a Hero deck and they’re at least mid condition and I could sell it because I never used it

If you are searching for more cards then please feel free to contact me. I collected Yu-Gi-Oh cards many years ago and I definitely have a lot to show.

@33:00 why is he giving a card that has scratches a 9? A card with scratches is NM lol, and their grading system says that also. So confused

[@nftmev]

They are referring to PSA, a card grading company. The NM to PSA grade can be volatile (even more so for Yu Gi Oh, compared to Pokemon). From StrictlySealed videos, NM can clearly range from PSA7 all the way to PSA10.

[@shaunslays2151]

@@nftmev Im aware, but PSA states that any scratches on the card make it fall down from NM , I'm aware of what PSA is and how theyre grading system works, just the information in the video isnt accurate

Since there is monster duel on pc and playstation , i don’t see the value in buying cards , i mean,it makes more sense to play online and you don’t need to go find a place where you meet other players … so i don’t see value in buying if you won’t use them ao often
