1996 1st edition Yugioh cards worth hardly anything?

Hello guys I have abunch of first edition holo Yugioh cards. Abunch of holo dragon ones too. I’ll make a list when I get home. I went to Ebay to search values and on average each one is worth $2-$3 and their in mint condition on most of them. This almost doesn’t make sense to me compared to Pokemon. Anyone know much about yugioh cards value? And why I’m seeing such cheap results on cards from 25 years ago

The first yugioh cards were '99 or '00 if memory serves, and they weren’t TCG (Konami). Are you referring to these?

Or LOB, MRD, MRL, etc.?

Both generally would be more expensive than a few bucks a piece, to be certain. The less cared for commons in the first few TCG mainline sets would be cheap though, still at around that price.

I wondered the same a couple years a go when I sold most of mine (the ones that would sell for over 99p)

I remember seeing a ton of reprints when I searched up though maybe that had something to do with it

These are all Holo or it looks like holographic to me. Some have colored text. Others are just holo on the picture

@brendantheclayboy and @[Ash] I listed them all out if anyone knows much about them. And do people grade these?

Most of those are pretty recently printed cards. All yugioh cards say 1996 at the bottom, it is not the year they were printed.

Ahh gotcha I didn’t know that. Now it makes slightly more sense

Yea, it can be confusing coming from pokemon where the date matters

@pbali How long ago did these come out? I’m curious if I just hold them five years like Pokemon the value will change. It makes no sense to sell cards worth less then $50

Probably post 2010, I don’t know these cards well cause they are too recent. I doubt there’s anything above a few dollars though.

There is one pretty valuable Dark Hole but I suppose it’s not the one you have. What set did your one come from?

@jyscal I’m guessing if all these other cards that look sweet aren’t valuable I’m sure the black hole isn’t valuable either. I’ll have to look up the sets. Yugioh is confusing to me. I thought I could help a co worker sell them but it seems like it’s not even worth selling. There’s obviously plenty non Holo one’s I didn’t list but I was guessing holo’s would be the most expensive

Sorry but that’s essentially just bulk holos. Most of those are just from structure decks (theme decks in pokemon) so hard for there ever to be value. The others are just a variety of promos, holos from sets like Hidden arsenal (where every card in every pack is holo) or from reprint sets.
