Yeah they’re impossible to find but with the exception of Cyber Harpie Lady and Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon ALL of the RP01 and RP02 secrets sell for much less than what they’re listed for on eBay. eBay isn’t the best place to look tbh. Facebook groups are much better.
@budget I Read op, just not all of the pages after. I’m just stating some points about yugioh. Don’t expect people to read it… I don’t care if anyone reads mine or not lol. I’m not an expert on yugioh, just saying general points…
T.T
You reiterated the OP is my point.
Being YuGiOh collector myself, I will say collecting YuGiOh is really painful and stupid. the dilemma is that in the US, North American English YuGiOh cards are more demanded than any other versions. However, the North American market of these cards is just so small compared to the OCG(Japanese) counterpart. Furthermore artwork does not have much variation in YuGiOh because most of the time each card only varies by a simple Serial code center-right of the card. Yes, 1st edition can be more bling but the demand is not high.
The collectors willing to actually spend in YuGiOh go far back before 1st edition American cards were printed. I.E. Japanese Tournament secrets, fest promos etc… those have way more collectible value compared to 1st edition. Counterfeit in YuGiOh is a problem as well. Dave and adams have a stock of fake LOB 1st edition booster boxes.
Unless you are collecting the iconic cards. i.e. blue eyes, magician sets, etc… I would recommend to stay away from YuGiOh because ,English cards specifically, prices go up and down not because of collectible aspects but because of the ban list and play ability. I.E trishula ice barrier dragon was a very expensive card when it came out. You could only obtain them from Duel terminals. Now given its limit and ban, its practically worthless.
Reprints are also very frustrating in YuGiOh because its more targeted at the players. old cards get devalued when there is a newer reprint. Especially reprints with 5 secret rares in 1 pack(which I find is stupid) making the secret card rarity pointless. Reprints again only differ from the original by set number center right of the card.
That worthless Duel Terminal Trishula sells for $110.
Wish I could grade my 1st Ed. exodia and Ultra Rare UNCUT sheet. It’s amazing I don’t get more love for that #1 yugioh collectible;)
That’s the whole point of this thread. Items/cards like that are worth it to grade. They are rare.
But many of the old cards have been reprinted to oblivion because everything is still playable in any type of tournament setting. So, grading a promo tin promo of Blue Eyes really holds no value. The original 1st edition print does, even with 20 reprints out there.
No. $30 for Japanese and in English why get the $110 when players can just get the $20 alt from hidden arsenal? 110 to 20. Absolutely no value there. And 110 isn’t the selling price. They are listed at $110 but no one is buying them so the actual value is much less.
They were up there a while ago, still it sells for $80ish which is far from worthless. Yu-Gi-Oh! doesn’t have all the $200+ cards pokemon has but they’re still plenty of cards in the $50-$150 price range that aren’t really effected by reprints. Reprints only kill the valuable of a card based on accessibility. People want the DT Trish because it’s DT Trish, they collect the card and more reprints won’t hurt the price of it. Trish is irrelevant in the competitive game but the high rarity print of cards that were popular or relevant at some point in time still hold value even after they’ve reprinted.
My point is you sound like you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not like DT Trish is some obscure card that nobody ever sees, they move quite frequently.
"$80 is just enough to prove that there is no collectible value. The card was released almost 10 years ago.
“More reprints won’t hurt the price of it”----- this is the most retarded sentence coming from you. You Are The One Who Doesn’t Know Anything.
In YUGIOH A lot of cards aren’t able to reach a premium price is because of the massive amounts of reprints. Saying reprints don’t hurt the price just shows how incompetent you are in understand supply and demand and that the majority of the yugioh market has long been shifted to players and not collectors. you sound like you are new to YUGiOH to be honest. Compared to people who have been collecting it prior to the first release of English card. Please do more research
And just to demonstrate my point. I used Trish as an example. And you went full retard just on one card. Who knows what stupid shit you’ll say about all the other massively reprinted unplayable cards out there
They don’t grade uncut sheets though:(
Maybe we should start an efour sheet/poster grading service:)
Ummm…
Yu-Gi-Oh! is definitely making a comeback on the collectable front. You just have to go and look at the rate at which prices are rising for prize support, iconic cards and a lot of core set ultimates pre-2008. You have to be blind or not engaged in the playerbase at all to notice this lol.
Reprints obviously do have an impact on the prices of cards but with the example we’re using (DT Trishula) They could reprint it 5 times and any decrease in the price for the DT print would be minimal because it’s sought after by collectors and also players that like blinged out cardboard and need to have everything in the highest rarity. The HA04 and DUSA prints would drop but the OG print would be more or less fine.
And before you want to throw around the R word on a Pokemon collecting forum I am right. You didn’t articulate your point that well, you got a few things fundamentally wrong and I’m calling you out for it.
I’m calling you the R word because only Rs contradict themselves. It doesn’t seem you are capable of having a logical discussion to be honest. You are hypocritical that’s why you think my points make 0 sense.
Oh so now you say reprints obviously do have impact…
enough already
I said DT Trish wouldn’t be effected by any reprints in both posts.
DT
Duel Termnal
I’ve been consistent.
You do realise the OG print was at least a strong $300-$500 in 2012? Saying its still fine at $80 after 10 years is going against collecting value

It has though. How is $300-500 → $80 not affected?
It was in that price range for a few weeks when it first came out because there was a huge rush to get the card. People knew it would get reprinted because it wasn’t actually legal for play when DT Trish came out so only a handful of bought them. It wasn’t a reprint that made the drop in value it was just that the price naturally declined in price. The card definitely didn’t hold a $300-$200 price tag for 3 months.
Stating raw values as “oh reprints destroy the value of everything” ignore other factors in price changes.
The card became obsolete as well then eventually banned.
Same goes for gold sarcophagus
