I hope that you and Cimo do another auction series special but discussing this cards sale and comparing it with other high rarity/value sales. No duel needed :)
@@Ruxin34 He was once offered (if I remember correctly) $3.4 million for the card in like 2008. The other 1 of 1 cards have also gone for hundreds of thousands when they've been sold.
I love this whole story. What's amazing is that this card as you all know was a special gift because Tyler wasn't going to make it. Yet here he is, alive and well, and now that card being sold will help propel him into the life he wasn't going to have. That's actually incredible! I'd argue the only thing of any concern is that I wouldn't want to see the card be bought by someone who's sole purpose to try and turn it for profit by trying to resell it soon after.
The story behind this card is absolutely stunning. The strength this kid must have had to push through those difficult times. He truly is a great warrior and a great human as well as far as I could tell. Awesome that he is still with us and could share his amazing story with us.
@@ladybug2579 That card A) isn't known as well to people outside of Yugioh, and B) Doesn't have any emotional story behind it's creation. It's just a metal card some guy won at an old tourney.
Tbh It really shouldn't really matter since it's a one of one, with the history surrounding it. However, he should have just gotten it authenticated for aesthetic reasons.
I always said “man I wish I could find my old cards” but then I found an unlimited ring of magnetism from starter deck Pegasus inside of an old work out dvd case. And it showed me two things. 1. My cards were most likely not 1st edition and 2. They were not cared for at all! I kept my cards lose in old yugioh tins and wrapped rubber bands around them. I think if I found an old card in rough shape it would upset me so much. I’m kinda glad my old cards are nowhere to be found so I can now slowly buy and find the old cards I want and care for them the way I wish I did as a child.
My friend did the rubber band thing aswell with his old commons. He sold me a tin of old commons and rares recently for 10 bucks and maybe 10 cards in the entire box were near mint, all of the others had major edge whitening. 😂😂
I started collecting cards with the Star Wars CCG. I moved on to Japanese Pokemon, then English Pokemon and then YuGiOh OCG. Regrettably, I got rid of my 1st ed English Pokemon set for some MTG cards, and I believe I sold my OCG vol 1-7 cards on ebay, and I sold/traded my LOB/MRD/MRL cards too. When I found what was left, it was still in great condition. It still pains me to think I sold all those cards for pretty much nothing and that I ripped all those packs and boxes that are worth an insane amount now, but I was also a kid and none of us could really have known what the future would hold. The only thing I can do now is the same as you, hunt down all those nostalgic cardboard rectangles!
I remember his story from when I was a kid! I read about him in a magazine in elementary school! Happy to see he beat his medical issues and is now doing well enough he could consider selling it :) This was an unexpected but amazing update!
I think this is the rarest card in the world in terms of it being a single printing of a specific card. But I also remember there being like a black luster soldier printed and stamped on metal if I recall correctly that was rewarded to the winner of a tournament years back that is also considered a priceless card in that sense as well.
I'm gonna guess around 2 million minimum its a 1 of 1 in NM condition it may not be a bsg pristine 10 or black label but it will never ever get a higher grade so this is the highest possible grade for the card and the fact that its a 1 of 1 in confirmed graded NM condition already speaks volumes about how much its worth and any serious collector would undoubtedly pay top dollar for a card like this.
For the record there ARE other 1 of 1 cards but they are old World Championship Prizes. T3-01 Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, T3-02 Summoned Skull, T3-03 Kuriboh, T3-04 Gemini Elf and T3-05 Red-Eyes B. Dragon were all 1of 1 alternate artworks given to the top 5 winners of the 2001 Asian Championships. Masahiro the Dark Clown, Tomohiro the Mountain Warrior and Yasushi the Skull Knight were prize cards that were the top 3 winners of the first ever Championship, with their names and likeness merged with a card of their choosing. Tyler the Great Warrior is the only 1 of 1 card in TCG (I checked and even Match Winner prize cards have a copy at Konami making them 2 of 2) but it certainly isn't the only one of its rarity in the franchise.
@@chrisdouglas9733 I double checked and it appears that even the cards I was thinking of in the TCG are at best 2 of 2 with one copy being held at Konami. These include cards like Ulevo, Meteo the Matchless, King of Destruction - Xexex, Queen of Eternia, Testament of the Arcane Lords, Armament of the Lethal Lords, etc.
Looking back on this video, I don’t recall what the card went for but I do remember this card in 2006 when I was still like 3/5 years into the game and there had been a rumor going around about it and it’s cool to see the legend of the card be brought to light !! So glad the guy now man made it through his battle and got to hold onto the card as a memento of how hard he had to fight for his life and made it through the other side!! Such a feel good story!! Great job on this video bud!!!
Man what an incredible story, so cool how this comes to light after so many years! One thing I'm not a fan of is the fact it's getting graded. WHY!?! Why does it matter if it's a 1 of 1?
Yeah i wouldve left it in the original case, the grade is completely irrelevant. But they probably got it graded so its extra official and authentic and numbered.
Yeah, that makes sense! Tyler the Great Warrior is a card that has been faked probably thousands of times, the fact that this has been Graded and has Videoproof of the owner Actually submitting it to Beckett, is probably more like an Confirmation that it is Actually the REAL deal
I'm guessing the only big content creator who is interested in YGO that can afford this card is Charlie. Final sale price IMO will be around 500k, I don't see this card selling for over a million.
If you ask me the 1999 Yu-Gi-Oh tournament in the OCG which was the first tournament ever gave out four price cards. All one of one! one of them was black Lester soldier metal card. That is probably the most valuable card
It is mainly for the sake of authenticity, it makes it much harder to try to sell a fake when the card has a grading with an identification number attached
Awesome he's doing well! This is such a niche collectable though, I would feel weird owning it since it's such a personal card. Not that I could ever own it xD
The card is amazing but I think that the fact it was made for him a dying kid(at the time) is truly amazing and that he’s still with us. He deserves that card and I don’t think it should be sold. His decision though.
This! No matter what ridiculous price they give that card, he's making a mistake to sell the item, it's something personal and it should not have a value based on rarity or whatever, he might regret his decision later but then again, the card could be sold after his own death and that would be even worse without any of his consent, at least that's what i think and what he might fear in the future...
@@Widderblader you say that, but even half a million is LIFE CHANGING for not only him, but his entire family, and i easily see this going for 2 or 3 mill... No sane person would let that opportunity go by
I remember hearing about this card on your channel a long time ago and other channel as well. I thought it was such an awesome card, and especially an awesome meaning behind it. They really did a great job designing it and I’m super happy to hear that he is doing well.
I’m honestly just happy he’s alive and happy! I always thought he passed away! ❤ This card is gonna hit the 1 million dollar mark no question. If we weren’t in a market downturn, it would easily have fetched that 2 years ago.
There will more then likely be a retainer on the auction.. meaning that there will b a minimum amount he will accept.. i wouldn't take less then a mil if i was him!
My wish from Make A Wish was to become a Chef. I could have met someone for a day or went to Disneyland for a week. To this day I still cook. And I get to be a cook everyday of my life. I even made Head Chef, Exect Chef. Etc. I always knew of his wish because I thought about if I did the same for Magic. I'm glad he made it. I'm happy to hear he's still kicking it and wants to do more. Make A Wish Stories are so amazing. Let's hear it for Tyler The Great!
This card is probably worth at least one dollar but probably won't be worth more than a billion. In all seriousness I just hope whoever gets it manages to keep it in good condition for decades to come.
Personally if I had the money I wouldn’t even wanna buy this card. It has a special story attached to Tyler yes it’s a 1 of 1 but it should belong with him.
I don't think the card needed to be graded just like you said, the condition of the card doesn't matter so why did it have to be graded? It was sealed in the casing pretty much as soon as it was printed. Tyler mentions in the video that no one had ever physically touched the card after it had been printed. I just think it never should have left the casing
IM CALLING IT NOW.... NOTHING LESS THEN 500K. That's what I would pay if I had the money. To be honest 500k should be the min of this bid long live TYLER!
Should have kept it in it’s original case I feel like that would add to the appeal of never been touched especially if the grading doesn’t matter. I saw another comment say someone offered over 3 million at one point but that was in its original case so as is I would say for sure a million maybe 2 but in its previous state I’d say he coulda got closer to 5
Glad he made it through cancer and held on to the card as well. Any type of cancer is terrible, that is probably far the biggest W in anyone life that has dealt with it, was definitely for me.
This car and the original blacklister soldier are the holy grails I feel like Tyler the great Warrior even more so because it was made for a specific person where his blackmuster soldier it was possible to win
I don't understand grading it, like grading a 1st ed LOB Blue eyes makes sense because you can compare it to others like it, but this is the only Tyler the Great Warrior. The grade obviously shouldn't have any impact on the price.
That is a great story, with even better ending! Also, there is that Ring card from Magic the Gathering , which is also printed as 1 of 1. This one from the vid is way more interesting tho
Apparently there has been new information on Alpha MTG cards that's come out recently... 1008 for each Alpha rare... Idk, but some prominent and knowledgeable MTG folks seem to be accepting that # as the actual production run. Enjoyed the video! ✌
Cannot believe he is actually selling it. I personally think it would have been worth more upgraded and left in the original case. However I believe that this card will go for somewhere around 100k being reasonable. There are a lot of people that want it that have a lot of money.
Maybe is just me, but grading this card would stain it's legacy. Just leave it inside the case they gave it to him. It's "the original" case, a 7 on it would just give something to frawn the card on. People would only say "image if it would have been a 10". I don't know, to me it makes it less to have it graded but i could be wrong here.
What's crazy is I don't think they will do this for someone else again, they might turn down another make a wish because of the fact that there is already a 1 of 1 card
Anyone hating on him selling it is either jealous that they are not the one buying the card because they can’t afford it or just jealous cause it isn’t them selling the card and acquiring a life changing amount of money. I’m so happy for Tyler, get that bag.
A kid getting a car sounds like wishing for something he wouldn’t ever use, the card is something to leave behind, something that remains after he died. This has some serious sentimental value, but viability is what makes black lotus what it is. The 1996 World Champion card is a one of one, and 11 the magic invitational winners/world champion winners for more recently got to give input, have their likeness as a legal card that became part of the game, some are staple! The Pikachu Illustrator card sold for 5 million, there are two blastoise card wotc made for Nintendo to show they can make good cards, Tsunekazu Ishihara black star card signed also. I’m seriously shocked we never had more of these make a wish cards from any tcg. Having your card added to the set immortalizes you in households worldwide, I like that idea more.
That is the coolest 1/1. I think it is possible that it is sold for more than the alpha black lotus but probly not the signed artist proof post malone bought. I think 650,000 big ones
