Business Insider spoke with Roy Raftery, a trading card expert and manager of Sneak Attack Games London. He valued our childhood Yu-Gi-Oh! card collections and decks.
He explained how the original cards that were featured on the show tend to be worth more money, as well as some other things to look out for in your own collection - but how much were our cards worth?

You know, yu gi-oh might actually become a real thing in the future. Those devices that Kaiba had in the anime were basically projections of monsters. This technology is called augmented reality and can basically project things in the real world.

[@wesleychapman9001]

One of my best friends growing up had a holographic 1st Edition Dark Magician Girl that I wanted for YEARS! Almost a decade later we met up and he said "Did you ever get the birthday card I sent you?" I told him it never arrived, and he said in it was the Dark Magician Girl... That was probably the most generous act a friend has ever done, and I legit still think about where it could have gone 😢

[@Superbed3]

[@Rick020]

I sold my Blue Eyes White Dragon for $200 lmao. Messaged some guy on ebay who sold his for $800 and asked what mine was worth, he said 250 at max since mine was somewhat used... So I was happy that someone wanted to buy it. It had been dusting away for a decade.

[@ryanmarshall1883]

I 'had' three of them for the 3 headed super dragon thing I don't know where they are now :(

[@ShouldOfStudiedForTheTest]

Ryan Marshall Good luck finding them! If you never played with them, they should be in your basement amyways.

[@Rick020]

Definitely worth trying to find them. I sold all my old Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon cards for just over $400, with only one super rare. Still have some first gen Pokémon left, but none of them are rare. Also a bunch of Dragonball cards and figures from early 2000s.

[@Slays_Media]

You ripped someone off. The most expensive BEWD is like $40. That's obviously not counting the alt art BEUD from the Asian Internationals that only had one copy printed.

[@Rick020]

Not my problem tho. If someone is willing to pay that much for a card, I hope he has all the knowledge about it... I had no clue what it was worth, anything above $20 I would have accepted. But there were 3 people bidding for a few days long, and eventually I got a good and long conversation with one of them and we made a deal. I had this version: "Blue-Eyes White Dragon LOB-E001 Ultra Rare 1st Ed.'". And if I check prices right now they indeed never go above $80 lmao. Guess I got lucky, and the guy made a stupid deal. But who's fault is that?

Bro, this brings back memorys of mf watching the show, still play and collect to this day.

[@NK-iw6rq]

I miss YuGioH. Had so much playing this card game competitively and casually. I took so much joy in collecting all the highly sought after cards. It always felt like a mission and challenge, and once you collected some of the rarer cards there came this sense of reward.

[@dragocrafterr8286]

Nahin Khan you can still play the game

[@NK-iw6rq]

James Lee True , but I sold most of my cards and it may cost alot to get back into a competitive meta. Also many of my friends stopped playing , I know I can stop by the local shop and play people there , but I loved playing against my friends. We were competitive and always wanted to be better than each other.

[@daigustoemeral3710]

Just about to say is that 3x lair of darkness deck is a great way to start coming back into playing yugioh

[@josiahvock5675]

Nahin Khan Well 95% of the old cards aren’t all that used anymore for more than a single copy per deck, the most expensive things you need to get in order to become meta competitive (unless you really want to play sky strikers) is staples like Ash Blossom (which is going to drop in price drastically in a few weeks), for example ABCs is a deck that still regularly reaches top 10s at big tournaments and the skeletal structure required is just 3 copies of the structure deck plus a couple of the staple cards to fill out other areas of the deck, quite cheap to do as long as you’re not trying to max rarity the entire deck.

[@maxislas3141]

Yeah I played it a lot back then till Shaddolls, Burning Abyss, and Satellar Knights ruined the game. If you didn’t have one of those decks there was no point in trying

[@teatea4496]

It's extraordinary how these games and cartoon shows became so popular all over the world , breaking down cultural and language barriers . Kids all over the world whether it be in America, Europe or Asia watched these shows and loved them and they became a part of our childhood and a part of our identities as one of the first truly global citizens.

[@hollownecryb]

Ok it's bothering me too much not to comment. At 5:38 he says the first ever set was SAGA of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon (SDBE) when I'm sure meant to say LEGEND of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon (LOB). SDBE was a Blue-Eyes based structure deck that came out a few years ago while LOB was the first expansion of the game back in the early 2000's. The two Dark Magicians he's showing are from two separate starter (not structure) decks that came out very early in the game. He's right when he said that there were two different artworks for Dark Magician back then, the one like the anime (purple hair) coming from the very first Starter Deck Yugi (SDY-E001), and the blonde Dark Magician which was released in LOB. However the blonde Dark Magician they have in this video isn't from LOB, otherwise it would have the set number LOB-005 under the artwork on the right. The Dark Magician they have in this video is from another starter deck that came out slighty later which had a reprint of the LOB Dark Magicians artwork called Starter Deck Yugi: Evolution, hence why its set number is SYE-001. Even if it's 1st edition, it wouldn't have nearly as much value as a LOB 1st edition Dark Magician. Such a nitpick I know, but I couldn't help but point it out.

[@Horstmaniacman]

Brycen Snowden thank you!!! I had to scroll way to far for someone else to notice!

[@alextogo8367]

His pricing for raigeki is also off. Starts on cardmarket for 6,50€ in poor condition and the raigeki in the video looked at least played, maybe even lightly played, don't know if it is bent or something. Edit: And he also doesn't seem to be aware, that 1.ed doesn't really matter unless you're getting into the high prices.

[@Dommshorty]

"First edition, mint cards are worth maybe 40, $50." Made me realise how expensive Magic is.

[@aspenwatson2116]

I think Magic also has a larger player base and the cards seem to hold their value better if kept in good condition. Wizards of the Coast also put a lot of thought into the balance and mechanics of the sets and the story, so the game plays really well in my opinion. I think that Konami hasn't done as well and that may be part of why they're cheaper - the game overall has become less desirable. Even the prices stated in the video are higher than they actually are, as many people in the comments have pointed out... many of these cards wouldn't sell for quite as much as this guy quoted...

[@ComDenox]

I think the main reason is not for the bigger player base or better balance of the game. Mainly it is beacuse of power creep, old Yugioh cards are just like 10 times weaker than the new ones (or are so good to be banned). The playable ones have been reprinted, so only collectionists look for the old ones. I believe Magic doesn't reprint too old cards (correct me if I'm wrong on this, I do not play Magic a lot). Also, Magic has formats that use old cards, while Yugioh has not (at least not offical ones).

[@andrewzheng52]

Old school mtg or go home

[@Slays_Media]

Alessandro Mazzacani Magic doesn't reprint very often like Yugioh does, either. The viability of older cards never really withers either.

[@chiquinarco55]

Konami reprints cards, they recently re released the first starter decks. Magic is lame because they have rules against the reprinting originals and shit. Just makes players shell out a lot of money if they want to play their old school cards.

[@Joever5634]

Saga of blue eyes white dragon was made a *decade* after the yugi/kaiba sd’s

Im hungarian and i have the hungarian translated version and they are so bad man i cant even describe how shit the translation is. the sentences doesn't make sense the worlds arent written correctly. For instance there is one where there is a picture of a pumpkin and the cards name is lizzarded tomato. The diference between lizzarded and killer in hungarian is 1 letter so i can imagine the problem but how did pumpkin become tomato? No idea.

I played yugioh before the english version even came out, so I still have my old japanese cards. but I really got into the game once the English cards hit America, taking 1st place in a regionals in CO back in 2004/05 can't quite rem. But recently I went to a store to play some yugioh (the meta is disgusting now hah!) I thought it was a bit funny hearing many people saying "oh wow is that the original version?" mirror force, raigeki black hole, mystical space typhoon etc etc. to me they are just standard cards but I guess they are fairly rare considering they all got reprinted in common versions etc.

I never heard of judges denying damaged cards. Also the blue eyes structure deck didnt have a dark magician.

[@MorallyAmbigousEnby]

They only deny them if they're damaged to the point that you can use the damage to tell what card you're about to draw, sort of like marked cards. Also you're right, the blue eyes structure deck didn't have a dark magician, but the first booster pack set in yugioh was called "Legend of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon" it did have a dark magician in it, and that's what he was talking about.

[@Jacooey]

@@MorallyAmbigousEnby that alternative art dark magician is from the SYE set as stated on the card which is Starter deck Yugi Evolution

[@patton3rd1]

Yeah, he misspoke. He meant (I assume) the "starter deck evolution" which had a Yugi and Kaiba verson and came out 2 years after the originals.

[@ZetaByt]

Also, judges are not *_that_* strict on the condition of cards, if you're using card sleeves (which you probably should do anyways). The only thing you really can't have in the main deck is a card so ultra-screwed that you can tell what it is by feeling it through the sleeve (examples: Cut corners, creases from being folded, etc.)

[@dustindey7612]

The reason Chaos Emporer's price has been fluctuating is because his text has been errata'd and been taken off the ban list in the OCG. OCG= Japanese print. (Meaning he has been made less powerful and that fans here are waiting for his inevitable reprint and unbanning here in the TCG. TCG = languages most everywhere outside of Japan) Lots of player's like the vintage feel and coloring of older cards. Also, the older cards are sometimes worth less because the game is based more on what's popular than nostalgia. (Don't get me wrong, lots of people play because of the feels!) -Pricing of individual YGO cards changes often based on what's popular at the time you are pricing it. All of the cards in this video looked pretty damaged to me, including the ones in the sleeves. The OG Relinquished and Buster Blader are worth $1 if they aren't in near-perfect condition. (If you took them out, I imagine they'd have some marks on back & dents here and there considering the players took minimal care of them.) I'm a hard core player of the game and fan of the original anime. There were lots of minor errors in this video that no one but an Yu-Gi-Oh! fan would notice.

I purchased a book of banned cards from a guy at a card store when the most recent Meta deck was Lightsworns. He sold me the entire binder of cards w/the binder, which included 3 Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning. I still have many original banned cards from when the game first came out to around the time the ban list existed, so I owned one prior (4 total now). A little while after I purchased the book, Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning was announced to be removed from the ban list and they skyrocketed to $200 each on eBay.
