Anybody know a major yugioh collectors site or any giant yugioh collectors.
I want to break out some incredible one of a kind collectible card items to share/sale;)
I agree with vodka, I love dark magician girl the best and have most cards and figures. There are 2 figures out now, 1 is so cool but too much $ for me atm (with all my pokemon and a pricey zelda link doll!)
I’d like to know the same thing as Gary — are there any sites where a lot of buying and selling of YGO cards takes place? I’m sitting on some super-rare Japanese items (Bandai beta cards, Jump promos, etc.) that I’d like to sell.
I call them “beta” cards, but they are probably better described as “unfinished printer’s proofs.” They are unfinished (no plastic coating) cards that the printer shows to the client (in this case, Bandai) for approval of the design/cut/color. They are already cut, just not coated.
They are supposed to be destroyed after the client approves the work. But, just as uncut sheets sometimes slip out of the printer’s hands, so too do these cut proofs.
I’ve never sold any of them before (nor have I ever seen any for sale elsewhere), so I really don’t know. I might try my luck with one of them on eBay
Here are some images. The first shows the gold foil in all its glory:
The next image shows a flatbed scan of the card. The light of the scanner bounces off the shiny gold foil, so the gold appears black.
Here’s a side-by-side close-up comparison of the artwork on the test card and the finished holofoil:
And a side-by-side comparison of the backs of the unfinished and finished cards:
