My $40,000 Yu-Gi-Oh Cards Investment One Year Later... 

@TeamSamuraiX1 Thank you also a favor is there any way I can talk to you in private please Sam

your investment will be worth a lot a long time down the road. keep them to sell them like old model cars 😂

i got texted by the fake you twice now... its so weird. I reported him but its not stoping :/

@@V1_Dragon nope lol

Damn.. I just got msged by someone else with ur name to text them on telegram lol was happy for a sec

Pawn star? More like prn star cuz he FUCKS EVERYONE HE DOES BUSINESS WITH!

There's just not a market here for it I've gotta find a buyer go to an auction I mean that stuff isn't free take it or leave it that's the best I can do I can't go any higher

Expert here… if you look closely at the edges you’ll notice most of these were pack fresh and fairly collectible… however they all seem to have white boarders now… so I’d put the value around $350-450… European cards just don’t hold the value English cards do…😂

Take my like you despicably hilarious person

Chum…. THIS IS MY PAWNSHOP !!!

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.

This should be top comment.

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.

What are you talking about?

I mean if anyone the guy that has a RU-vid Channel dedicated to yugioh I think it’s a pretty damn good investment he’s got a pretty solid following I wouldn’t doubt it one bit he would be able to sell all these cards cause you know you ain’t getting scammed 🤷‍♂️ it will end up paying for it self brings more traffic in to the channel like I said If anyone sam has a Better chance of making profit than just a random 😅

Definitely capping on some cards but mostly knowledgeable for the most part

Always the goat!

U undervalued some of sams cards lol 😂

U said rainbow reos ghost 1st Ed for 200 where tf can I buy one for 2 I’ll grab 3 copy’s if that’s the case

@@JesusFlores-zn7jq there are heavy playeds for less than 150 and lightly playeds around 200 literally on tcgplayer so I mean... it depends on the condition of them lol

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. 🥲

Exactly. Its not really worth anything unless someone is willing to buy them. They basically have to get super lucky and hope Logan Paul makes a video about buying exodia for 1 million dollars and dump everything before its too late.

@@samich7371 How out of touch is everyone here? People are willing to buy all of these cards every day. You guys are stuck in 2004 I think. LOL

That's cause the buyer finds you

​@@MRkriegsthey drunk

Yep, plus fees for selling. If he sold now, he’d break even. Only been a year, though, but a lot of people think the collectible market is a bubble. Time will tell

It would have added way more credibility to the video if they had used the actual app with actual numbers to value the collection. Makes only sense if they bother doing a collab video in the first place

@@rossbennett-kennett9764 People think eveything is a bubble these days

@@oHaste inflation numbers agree, though

Yah it's the seller price. Most of time you can only finds the buyer comfortably for around 2/3 of it's seller price. That being said, even in this video Sam only able to make lil profit thru dark magician girl tho and few others, he took Ls for almost everything else, so lil bit sceptical about that 40k to 54k claims.

honestly they should just allow you to buy the cards and yhou get a code that uploads the cards up to master duel. Pokemon was doing something like this. If anything it would enable people like me that like the cards but dont like to play in person. I would buy the cards more frequenly and then I would get them on master duel as well.

@@sr7olsniper good idea but i guess its a little too late for it and a whole new set of all cards would throw all values out of balance for a period of time. I am fine with buying all my DL Decks, which is around 150$ for each Deck with nice holographic cards :)

That's exactly how yu gi oh cards trend....always down

You dont even 1k to make a meta unless u buying max rarity

for real. i’m broke lol

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.

@@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. Usually I buy a core for $100-150 and the swap staples like everyone else but i though it'd be clear to insinuate I was talking about having 1 max rarity deck. That's my bad for not making that clear lmao.

@@res8791 cheapest meta deck from the past format would probably branded eldlich which is about ~$150. But if you want to run 3 prosperity it can easily be $500. The adventure package was easily $500 last format and that's only 8 must run cards in combo decks that don't rely on a normal summon (every modern combo deck)

Good thing she is your "ex", dang sorry

Dumb bsh man

Tht wht u get for being a simp tht was your wake up call don't let it happen again

I feel that man. me and my cousin had so many cards from the first sets that ever came out. my religious grandma threw them away cause she thought they were Demonic

​@@bryanboria608my mom threw all my cards away like 10-15 years ago because I "left them out" in my own room 🙄

u never noticed the silver eye before?

Neo-Spacian is the lamest archetype ever, even goddamn Performapals are cooler.

They need to do better with japanese pokemon too and distinguishing unlimited and first edition vintage

​Pokemon is yu gi oh rip off @@Doors067

Shining flare wingman in the video: $1.100 Im reality: ~$400 in english in german (where i come from): ~$200

Buy them psa graded then? Just look for bids and hopefully you get some low bar buys

u can only get 1st edition that way unlimited u can get from any pack

But what if you deck isn’t viable anymore such as branded I’m def not paying for bystial lubellion but thinking about paying $50 for cartesia

​@@ItsNSBI'm Branded player too , u ever get your cartesia ? 😅

@@rotwurst386 yeah want me to sell to you for $35?

he made much more than 15k from this video alone lol

thats still dope asf

U never sell it means it is not a investment

He never said it was lol. He said from his childhood lol

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

The funny thing is, even if you crack the boxes, it doesn't mean the cards would grade well if try to send them in. Being worth grading standards is also hard to pull.

@@gilbertoflores7397 true. They’re tedious. The centering from the factory and many other uncontrollable factors determine the grading.

@@gilbertoflores7397 I’ll potty never sell. I like having old cards. I still have cards so old they say “magic cards” instead of spell in their effect or as their card type.

They tried to stay realistic i guess.

Whts your Instagram

This is a year ago, prices went down a lot since then

these are first edition you cant find them anymore

Ghost JD doesn't exist.

@@thevintagevaluesexperience4302 I think he means Secret Rare. While Sept 2009's TU01 Ultimate's exist, which look obscured like Ghost ($450ish), I bet he is referencing the May 2008's LODT Secret 1st (original rarest from the pack $250ish ungraded). Ghost Rares were only the cover cards from 2007-2013, but people that maxed out their Lightsworn Decks used triple Ghost Rare Honest (cover card of LODT), and triple Secret LODT JD/CotLB, and Ultimate Solar Recharges, etc. By September 2008, Judgment Dragon, and Card of Safe Return were semi-limited (CoSR slowly banned a year later); Lightsworn survived nearly full power until March 2010 with hits to Honest, Solar Recharge, Necro Gardna, and Lumina, but Lightsworn had the least amount of competition from May-Sept 2008 before TeleDAD became full power with Duelist Genesis that Sept. So, Secret Rare is probably more nostalgic.

@@Goblin_Hands my mistake I meant ultimate rare from 2009. It's when I initially got into yugioh. Moment I saw it was my favorite card to this day

Rarest cards that have a monetary value I should add lol

People will buy them definitely

Sam bought them for a ton. People who think they can get a lot more for them might. If he cuts off $5000, they might. He can throw in his entire collection for that, even if they weren't worth that much, and someone might.

@@Matt-fe6wu At these price points? God no.

@@rjose705 I’ll take near mint gold stamp flame wingman’s at 400
