I got an ultimate rare it got torned up

[@ThatOneDudeAbe]

Does it hold value?

[@BopisTCG]

Depends on what card it is, but most likely not. If it is damaged, the value drops drastically, unless it's a 1st edition Blue Eyes White Dragon or Dark Magician from LOB for instance, or a ghost rare..

Thank you for showing examples with the conditions, I have been wondering more about this for a while as I have recently found a stash of my old cards. Sadly a lot of them are "heavy played" or "moderately played" at best, as a kid I never cared about using sleeves or keeping them in good conditions which now I really regret haha

I know the feeling very well.. haha But, even when played, some cards can still hold value! Good luck with the collection!

If you plan on grading them, go with BGS, PSA or GCG, the big three. Any other grading companies won't make you any profit. Once graded, look at sold listings on eBay to get an idea for the price you can get for the grade and company.

[@alexmh6131]

What I've taken from this video is - it doesn't actually matter about card rarity, what makes a card valuable is, playability, age and actual rarity in the real world. Of course condition comes in as well. But the difficult thing is that a simple trap card could be useless to someone yet invaluable to someone else. I've never played DNA transplant, but since grazing over it, I really want to try it with a certain card combo, not saying that card would be or could be valuable, but someone would probably pay 5 times more than someone else because they need the card

[@BopisTCG]

Rarity does play a factor with cards that got reprints in different rarities, however. A card that has only two different prints ever, one let's say a Starlight rare, the other an ultra rare, the latter will be less expensive simply because of its rarity being more common than a Starlight, even if it doesn't see a lot of play. So pull rate (thus rarity) does matter there. And DNA surgery can sure be a fun card! I do recommend testing it out, though not sure how well it holds up to today's decks!

[@mightymulatto3000]

What is your take on PSA 10 graded cards? Is this a different category from tcgplayer's "Near Mint" category?

[@BopisTCG]

Oh definitely. Near mint would mean a card can have some minor flaws (small scratch, some imperfection in the corner..). A graded card to reach a 10 would mean they're perfect in every way. Even a little whitening on the edges can knock it down a grade or two. For grading, I always only do so with cards I've pulled myself or have seen in person. That to me is the best way of making sure it's in a good enough condition to grade it. Sites like tcgplayer will often not offer pictures or just front and back. That's a gamble if you want to send it in for grading. Best to buy in person or seen in multiple angles, in my opinion!

what about dark magician LOB-001, all my yugioh cards are LOB-001, and most of them didn't ever see on internet?

[@BopisTCG]

LOB is the first set ever released in the TCG: Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. The only thing to look out for is if it is original or a reprint. The earlier sets got a reprint early 2010's. Some cards are very hard to distinguish from one another. Best way to do this is by looking up a LOB Dark Magician that is 1st Edition, as those are from that first print and original. For that same reason, if yours are 1st edition, ther're original, if not, keep reading haha. Compare the text underneath the card with the text on yours to determine if your version is indeed an original or a reprint. Some 2010's reprint cards got an updated text, changing it alltogether (an example here is Jinzo or Gate Guardian), making it obvious it's a reprint. If the text itself is the exact same, which for Dark Magician I believe is the case, pay attention to the position of the words. If for instance some words are closer to the border of the textbox, or further away, compared to the 1st edition, you have a reprint. Is the text exactly the same and in the same position as the 1st edition cards online, you have an OG card! And as Dark Magician is a fan favourite still, you've got a card with quite some value in your hands! I hope I was able to help you with this!

Outside of the 1st edition and limited edition do Yugioh cards old much value? Considering the condition nm to mint. I am finding lots of cards for sale but they often do not say 1st edition. Most say limited or don’t have anything written

[@BopisTCG]

If they don't have anything they're unlimited prints. Depending on what card it is, some can still hold value, but then it will mainly be old cards for nostalgia or new holos. In the end, it depends a lot on what someone is willing to pay for it as well of course :) I for instance am willing to pay more if it is something specific I am after but can't find many copies of, so when one does pop up, and the price is still acceptable, although perhaps a bit higher, I might still go for it!

[@RedFaceeee]

@@BopisTCG I see. That makes sense. I am partially getting into collecting Yugioh for nostalgic reasons. Nevertheless, would you say any card from 1st edition and most limited edition cards would hold a good value? I am just trying to build a baseline for when I am making offers to people.

[@BopisTCG]

​@@RedFaceeee Depends a lot on what set they're from. I'd say that the earlier sets will get you a decent penny on quite some cards (going with commons), whilst later/recent sets won't. Compare it with Base Set for the Pokemon TCG. Even commons in that set still go for € 0,30 and more in a good condition for unlimited ones because they're what got it started. People love that nostalgia, and they're harder and harder to find with every year passing, especially in a mint condition. Same with limited cards, really. If you have a promo from one of the original tins, those are worth quite a bit, whilst later sets, again, depend on what card it is and what set it comes from, how often it sees use in competitive play, if there's a reprint.. simply because they're mass produced and still available for purchase today. Best advice I can give: sort your cards per set, find out when that set was released and then look up if the commons hold any value using the sites I used in the video. Be sure to sort on 1st edition, condition and language. If you see that the commons of the set don't have any value, move to the next one/check holos. That way you get a general idea of your cards' value and you can go through them faster.

My dark magician and blue eyes is first edition

[@MisterReginald141]

sure that last dark magician was in pretty bad shape but its almost cool t me like its been through the ringer

[@BopisTCG]

If anything, it holds a lot of emotional value because it's a card from my actual childhood :D

Forgive her, she didint know better. I had 4 dark magician girls 1st edition NM as a 9 year old. My brother and i got into a fight. He threw my binder away with the cards. I never forgave him lol

The near mint condition is BS for me, I´ve got ultra rares or secret rares right out the box and they´ve come with some little scratches from fabric.

[@BopisTCG]

Yep, that happens all the time unfortunately. Still counts as near mint though, as they're not mint.

[@julifer9211]

Good job

[@BopisTCG]

Thank you!

[@JESSEHXC]

i got a bunch of i think chines cards but don't know if there are worth anything

[@BopisTCG]

I am unsure about that, didn't know that they even printed Chinese cards! Maybe the earlier sets only, like with Pokemon. Just be cautious if they're legit though, as a lot of fake cards were/are distributed from China. Good example today is all cards from sites like Wish, AliExpress..

[@niceone4667]

Back in the day when I was a kid I just want to play duel so ... yeah if there is #10 of worst card you would see mine .if I could I want to post my full deck and some that I think is worth something but seeing this ... means they would never have value .if only I want to post it you can make fun of it .I understand .I hold on to my cards because I want to keep it as remembrance. I win more than i lose and was able to dmg a life points on one of my battle againts the top 2 duelist . I dont remember much.he congratulate me saying I was the only one who dmg him outside competition he joined .so that was my biggest memory when I was in my first yr high-school I started to collect cards back around 2002 ish 2003 up to 2007 then they start to fade

[@BopisTCG]

There sure is more to cards than their monetary value. I still have a bunch of my childhood cards, too. Most are completely beaten up, as you can see in the video, but thats okay. The memories are often worth more. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️

[@ΣπύροςΣαμαράς-ω7φ]

I have exactly the same card as you in 13:40 the only difference is that my card has blue eyes Can you please tell me how much is it worth?

[@BopisTCG]

You'd have to find out by using all tips I mention in the video. I don't know all prices by heart as there is simply too many and constantly fluctuating I'm afraid!

[@ELNeneRey360]

I feel like I have good value in my cards and looking to sale

[@BopisTCG]

eBay is your best bet! If you make it clear what condition they're in and what set they're from, people will bid the right amount for them. Might even be wiser to list the special ones as a seperate listing and just have bulk cards as a lot. You should get most money out of it that way, if you're willing to put the time and effort into it.

It isn't that expensive.

[@FireEmblemSOS]

So are YGLD cards not worth anything?

[@BopisTCG]

I don't know the prices by heart, but any premade decks are always lower unless they have specific cards. Sets that are out of production will also climb often due to them no longer being available on the market. Keep in mind it is constantly fluctuating too.

[@jgphantom6]

Hey Bopi! New viewer here I was hoping you could answer a quick question for me regarding some cards i have! trying to figure out if any of my cards from my childhood have any value to them and I've hit a road block of sorts

[@BopisTCG]

I suggest by taking out the holos as those are the ones with possible value, and then check them on the sites I've mentioned in the video based on their condition :)

I appreciate the info, I have very little knowledge as of yet, but came across red eyes b dragon sdj001, and a blue eyes white dragon bpt009, and both are very very nice. Need to do more research and find someone near me in Branson MO, and find out if its worth anything at all

[@BopisTCG]

SDJ is Structure Deck Joey and that card holds a bit of value, but nothing too crazy as it was so mass printed. 1st edition would make it more valuable of course. BPT are battle pack tournament and they tend to have a nice price tag to them depending on the card. Blue Eyes would definitely be worth a bit as it is such a beloved and iconic monster! I'm glad my video was helpful to you!

[@ryurc3033]

@@BopisTCG very helpful, honestly came across them in a storage unit, sold enough other things already(set of McFarland dragons, and original spawn violator) hoping for a little luck, with 250 other cards as well, all from 1996, maybe missed something.

I also have a double gold holographic red eyes black dragon I just found from my childhood set I’m just upset there’s a crease in the middle lol I’m pissed about that

[@ogkushbreathlvk3848]

good video but can the same card increase from 1€ to 50€ if its a holo? cause even on the internet page that you recommended you cant filter holos just any other aspect so how do i know if im not throwing away an expensive card that was on the side shown as 0,10€?

[@BopisTCG]

The only way for the price difference to be that big is to consider the other factors I talked about, such as language, print edition, condition of the card.. On Cardmarket you can indeed sort all of these except indeed for holo or non-holo. That is because it doesn't exist in Yu-Gi-Oh, unlike Pokemon where you have a regular and a reverse print per card in sets nowadays. Yu-Gi-Oh has plenty of reprints of the same artwork of the same cards, but they're all a different card. An example are the three Dark Magician at the start of the video. The rarity is different, but it is the same artwork every time. That's what the set numbers on the right underneath the artwork are for. If you search for Dark Magician on Cardmarket (I suppose you're a fellow European as you use euro) you get a list of all prints ever made. You just need to navigate to the card with the exact same set number as yours. Even one letter of difference (such as mentioned with the European/North American/Asian English sets) means it is a different card. So let's say you have found the card on there, you have sorted them on language and the condition yours is in.. prices are still completely different.. that's just what a seller asks for it. The exact same card, same condition, but one person asks € 5 and an other asks € 20.. You buy the € 5 one of course. This is why I also mention using eBay for older cards especially. They're harder to find, so you will see a huge difference in prices for them. eBay sold listings will however show you what people are actually willing to pay for that card. Because if someone asks € 50 for a € 5 card.. they will never sell it. Do keep in mind that there will still be some difference in prices here and there though, as eBay also has shipping and import costs. So sometimes someone will pay € 10 more for the same card that's located in Europe, instead of a cheaper version in the USA because then there's import fees and such involved. So, tl;dr: make sure you have the exact same set number you're comparing cards online with as they all are from unique sets, pay attention to the edition, language, condition (especially this!).. and then take a rough estimate of what the cards do sell for to get an idea of the value of your card. I hope that this helps you answer your question a bit, otherwise feel free to ask!

Hello Bopi's :) i just found my deck box with all my favorite cards from when i was a child. I've been saving those for 20 years but i do not know a lot about them or if there is even any value there. Is there any email contact of yours so i can reach out and try to understand if there is any gem there? i would really aprreciate it! Kepp up the good work :)

Hey there, thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I will have to disappoint you, as I do not have the time to look through collections. That is why I made this video, so people themselves can see if they have any valuable cards! I suggest you sort cards per rarity and look up all super rare, ultra rare, secret rare.. those are the ones that can hold value, common and regular rares won't. Best of luck!
