If you want to cherry pick then sure but I already addressed this in another post: If cards are insanely inaccessible to the playerbase one reprint will cause the value to drop. Gold Sarcophagus was a relevant, played prize card and the only way to get it was winning an event. Of course it was going to drop when it got reprinted because you could pay $2 to play it instead of $200+. It’s value wasn’t derived from being collectible, neither was Trish.
You’re being ridiculous at this point.
Duel Terminal Trishula is six years old though, it’s been through all that and now the highest rarity print of the card is stable because it’s a desired collectors card. Further reprints of Trish will do very little to the price of DT Trish if anything at all.
If you don’t get this you have a terrible capacity for pattern recognition.
Reprints are definitely a factor why yugioh hasn’t been able to establish itself in the collectors market. You act as if I say reprint is the only thing. Read the first post I wrote. I brought up the issue with reprint is because the idiot you are said in an earlier post,
“reprints don’t affect the price”
and then the next post you say, " reprints do affect the price"
if you don’t want people to talk shit at you, at least be consistent
Now you bring up a point in my first post. Relevance to play and playability. What the fuck are you on? You say I don’t know anything about yugioh and then you are using he exact reason I stated in my first post?
Edited: removed that last little part of the post, argue all you want but don’t throw stuff like that out.
No harm done otherwise.
I’m not saying that reprints don’t effect the price of cards.
I’m saying reprints don’t effect every print of every card equally.
A reprint of something like Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring will make a $70 card become $20 in a week because it’s value is derived from playability.
A reprint of Blue-Eyes White Dragon won’t do anything to DDS BEWD because it’s the 1st Base Zard of yugioh
A reprint of Raigeki will cause the new reprints released in the past 3 years to drop but it won’t do anything to the price of Retro Pack Raigeki.
You also said Trish is worthless, I said $80 is far from worthless. That’s the only reason I singled out Trish. If you were to buy a DT Trish now it would gradually rise over time regardless of reprints because it’s old and hard to find.
Everything I’ve said about DT Trish has been talking about it as it exists currently in 2017, not when it came out in 2011. You’ve jumped to this conclusion that I’m speaking as if it’s 2011 and I think Trish is the greatest card in the world that could never possibly drop below $100.
What are you on about?? You clearly say here reprints cut the value of cards???

That worthless Duel Terminal Trishula sells for $110.
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."
and then you mention “reprints don’t affect price”
and then you say reprints donimpact price"
Furthermore I mentioned trish the first place emphasising its price was affected by playability and the ban list(look at the post I quoted myself)I never mentioned the word reprint for trish until you brought it up first.
My points I responded to you once you mentioned reprints was yes reprints affect price because people have cheaper alternatives which is exactly the problem of accessibility. So I don’t get what problem do you have with that statement?
If you look closely at my posts I call you out over and over for this inconsistency. I never targeted your opinion about trish,
i targeted your opinion about reprints cause you are saying a different thing regarding reprints every fucking post. This triggers
furthermore I’m saying $80 is worthless because I’m imposing my monetary value of money. It may be a lot to you. But it’s worthless to me. So there’s no point of you arguing with me $80 being worthless or not in the first place. Considering we are on a Pokémon collecting forum. An $80 card that’s been around for 10 years is considered really cheap to be honest
I’m going to break this down because this is where I think you’re confused:
“there’s still plenty of cards in the $50-$150 price range that aren’t really effected by reprints”.
I’m not saying that ALL cards that are this expensive aren’t effected by reprints.
I’m saying there are SOME cards which could be reprinted 20 times and it wouldn’t effect the price of the highest/most sought after print.
You’ve made the leap to think that what I’m saying is this;“card prices aren’t effected by reprints at all” which just isn’t what I’m saying.
Then the sentence after “Reprints only kill the value of a card based on accessibility” still holds true. Just going to take this from another post I made, “A reprint of Raigeki will cause the new reprints released in the past 3 years to drop but it won’t do anything to the price of Retro Pack Raigeki.”, The cheap prints drop because they’re all perfect substitutes for each other but the hard to find prints maintain their value regardless of reprints.
I’ll admit it’s not especially clear in the post you’ve quoted and I should have elaborated a bit more but I did talk about this in every post after that. I didn’t just leave you hanging.
The main problem here I think is the ambiguity when you use the word “Value” of a card. This can be interpreted as “monetary value” and this will throw everything off. THis can also be interpreted as accessibility BUT it sounds more like Monetary value when layed out in that exact wording you put it in the sentence. “Kill the accessibility of a card” would have been way better. Accessibility is not value
Attacking someone’s maturity level because they don’t think a word should be banned brings your own into question. I’m not going to turn this into an argument, it’s just a rule I disagree with.
I’ll leave the convo here, but this forum is suppose to be a friendly place to talk to like minded people about our hobby, if censorship disturbs you so much there are plenty of other (crappier) forums you can frequent
