 Today I will be spending $1,000 on TCG player. What's up guys, we're back with another video. Today I'm gonna be spending $1,000 on TCG player and we're gonna see if I can buy the right cards that will go up enough in one year to beat in just a regular index fund. Usually if you invest in a regular index fund it goes up like seven to 8% per year. So I'm gonna buy some cards and see if the cards that I buy go up seven to 8% or more in the next year. That means that I wanna buy cards that I think have potential to increase in value over the course of a year. We'll probably check in on this maybe like at the six month period or something like that. How's the champs did something similar to this where he bought some cards, some ultimate rares and invested in them. I'm just gonna buy any cards that I think could go up and we're gonna check on it maybe at the six month, maybe a quarter and next January 1st where will these cards be? Did they go up in value? Is Yu-Gi-Oh a better investment than just traditional investing? But before we get into it we have a giveaway. I'm giving away these three foil bleed cards from the Brothers of Legends set. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed and let me know do you think Yu-Gi-Oh can be a better investment than just a general safe index fund or something like that? My first idea for an item was Blue Eyes White Dragon. Of course, obviously that's usually a good one but what Blue Eyes White Dragon am I thinking of? The ultimate rare Blue Eyes which only came in the started at Kaiba Reloaded. They are still very cheap. I think that these have good potential to actually go up. So we're gonna go through here and see if we do near mint. I think we want to do near mint. What is the first edition? It's $25, actually $30. Do we think we have a better chance with unlimited? These are only eight. Maybe we'll buy like a couple of each or one of each. So let's buy this and then let's get this one from Collector's Cash, this $30 one for first edition. So we're getting a first edition and an unlimited. Right now our subtotal is 33.93. So let's see. Another card of that I wanted to buy was the Brothers of Legend of Dusty Gold because I think this card's really cheap. It's very hard to pull. It's a much nicer looking version than the original because it's a secret rare. However, their Legendary Duel of Season 3 could come out and mess with this. But I think we're gonna buy one of these. It's $13. If it seems really cheap for the best looking version of a two print card, that's actually pretty good. Another card I really like is Silent Swords with level five. I don't know what it's gonna be priced at. Let's see if it's actually worth buying. Nirmit $75, $86. So I think that'll go up. That is a little bit high. I do really want this card though. So that might be like kind of the reason we buy it. It has gone down, it looks like. The unlimited is actually really cheap. Maybe we go with the unlimited. First edition, well, first edition was at 138. Interesting, this one's at 87. I think we're gonna buy it. All right, 133 bucks. All right, I filtered to the most expensive items on TCG Player right now. Someone has a Platinum Blue Eyes at 5,000. We've got a $4,300 deck, or not a deck of box. A Blue Eyes White Dragon from DDS. I mean, some of this stuff is crazy. We've got the Harpy's Feather Duster. Amazon is Chain Master from Retro Pak 1. 10K Dragon, Apollosa. I mean, these are above our $1,000 budget. So we gotta go to the next page to see. I would like to get something sort of expensive to add in. Ooh, Ecclesia is pretty nice. At that, I bet $750 now. That is insane. Max C is always just insane. Triple Tactics Talents, of course. DDS Silent. Nothing I think that we can afford there. Effect Valor. I would like another one of these. I wonder what the low is. Oh my gosh, they're $710. Oh my goodness. When I bought them, they were like $400. So yeah, maybe they're a little bit too expensive, I think, for us to go in on right now. Ooh, a Necroface. That would be fun. That would be fun to buy a Necroface. Let's see, it's hard. But at this point, when you're at $500 or whatever, how much more is it gonna go up in a year? Who knows? It might go up, but there's a good chance it also goes down. Okay, we've got a Prosperity. A lot of cool stuff here, but nothing. It's all too expensive. We gotta get to where it's like in the $300 range, probably before we buy something. Another DD Crow. I do have one of these, 424, okay. Too much. We could buy a DDS Exodia, a Retropag One Blue Eyes. Oh, it's Italian. I was gonna say 300. We're gonna buy that 1500. Probably not. Night of Salem is nice. Lumina's very cool. Ooh, ooh, ooh, a tour guide. That would be pretty cool. Lowest Nirmit is 450, okay, too much. We gotta find some cool card that I actually wanna buy that is, I think, a good deal. Droplet, I'm a little scared with reprints coming probably this year. This price is gonna go down, so I wouldn't buy that. Wait, Starlight Rare Lightning Storm? Is this low? 298. Hmm, do we buy a Lightning Storm? I kinda wanna buy a Lightning Storm because, one, I want this card. And two, 300 for a Starlight that's really good. I mean, I feel like maybe it's not being used as much right now, but if it goes back into the format and gets really good, I kinda like this card. I wouldn't usually recommend Meta to go up, but if there is anything, it's a Starlight Lightning Storm. Let's get it. All right, so we're at $432, so we've still got over $500 to spend. We will see if that Lightning Storm is a good investment, you know, at some point in the next time we check in. All right, let's keep going through here. We did about a $300 Lightning Storm. That's pretty exciting. Also really expensive. We owe some TurboPak Chaos Swords. Those are cool. Rose, we got a Frost Starlight Rare. Just a bunch of Starlights. I don't think we wanna buy another Starlight. We've already got one part of our investment in Starlights, so we're not gonna do that. Fakeville, wait, didn't we get to see this? Oh, it's $345 now, nevermind. So probably a Gold Rare Crush Card's that much. I almost bought these for like 40 bucks. Oh, that hurts so much. Duelist League Promos. Dark Revelation for Satellite Cannon. I was hoping that was the CP-01 because I do have the PSA 10 of that. There's a lot of World Championship-packed 2010 cards on here, probably not gonna pee what we're gonna buy. Foolish Burial. As low as $43, let's just get bought out. $290. Ooh, that's not happening. I feel like a Super Rare. Yeah, it's a Super Rare. Ghost Rare, wait, what? There's no way there's a near-met one on here. Oh, unlimited. I was like, aw. First edition's up at 500. Yeah, aw, man, that stinks. That would have been sweet. Wow, look at this Harvey's Feather Duster. It's, how is this the $209 market price? Wow, that's the game promo one. That is insane. Okay, I guess we could technically buy like a deck too. That would be kind of fun. Ghost Rare of that. Yeah, we're not too excited about that. White Hole from Tournament Pack 1. Wait, is there a near-met? I don't actually own one of these. No, there's not a near-met. Okay, yeah, I was like, that's actually cheap for that. World Chammy Chip 2004, GBA promo. Ooh, Strike of Nios, Air Nios. What do you think Air Nios is at these days? There's no way there's a first edition one for near-met. $800, okay, that sounds about right. Unlimited $350, yep, that's a lot. Unfortunately, no, not getting that. That's just too expensive. Hey, nice morphing jar. I have a lot of those, so probably not. Ooh, Drollin' Lockbird. I already have a playset of these. Yeah, $194, we probably don't want to buy that. Thunder King, Ryo Cool, Nibiru, Ultima Nibiru. That's a little expensive for that, I think. We need to buy something old-school, I think, because we haven't had a lot of old-school yet. Ultimate Rare Stratos. This card went way down. You think it was because of the Starlight? Probably not, but $145, no, oh, that was Korean. Okay, $145? Carl looks pretty nice, or $149, sorry. I sold mine for like 90, so this is gonna hurt, but I kinda wanna get this, let's get this. Okay, it's getting kind of expensive here. Magician of Faith is low at $650, but it's at $175. That's really weird, okay. Pot of Averus could be kind of nice with, you know, alt formats coming back. It's at $200 though, so probably not. Yu-Gi Evolution Box. We've got Ghost from the past. Ooh, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit Alties is nice. We've got some Monarchs, that's cool. Speed Dual Tournament Pack too. Is this some sort of reward or something like that? Why is that card so expensive? I think it must be some sort of like you win a tournament or something like that to get it. Miracle Fusion, DD Crow is here. DD Crow is not this cheap, I know that for sure. This is in the wrong spot. If it's like actually near mint, it's $379 for a first edition, wow. Dark Illusion Boxes are expensive, wow. I didn't realize that. The Creator, what's the creator going for? $14 for heavily played, wow. That's actually cheap. $110 for a first edition. Yeah, the problem with the near mint of that is the back is gonna be a little bit messed up because that's just how Rise of Destiny is. So you kind of get a light play even when it's near mint. Ooh, this looks, is there a cheap version of this? No, there's not. Ah, that's such a cool card. Okay, there's almost nothing cheap that's old school anymore. Everything is just insane. Let's see about the UFO Road Fighter 200 for a Korean version, I think. So Necro Valley is an ultimate? I didn't even realize that. That's from Astral Four, which is one of the hardest things ever to find. It's insane. 10 Key is an ultimate rare. We got Power of the Duelist stuff. We got a Ghostra, Honest. I know there's not a good price for that one. I'm not even gonna look. I would buy a Tsukiyomi, but I just got three of them, so I don't need it. Red Eyes Flare Metals, they're near mint for like an okay price. Near Mint Unlimited, what about first edition? $110, a guy with one sale? Do we go with the guy with one sale? Or do we go with the guy with 52200%, but he's $28 more? That's the tough decision here. I think we gotta go with this guy, one sale. I mean, anything could happen there. I don't know if we wanna do that. And by the way, if you guys wanna see me open up these packages when I get them for in a video, let me know. Yeah, we'll go with $138 just to be safe, but I like that card. I've always really liked it. $721, we now have $280 left. Let's see what we can get now. Oh, okay, we have Astral Leviathan. Look at this price. This thing absolutely tanked. That's what I like to see. Maybe we should buy one of these. That's a German one. We don't want that. I used to like to buy from verified sellers. These guys do not have good feedback. These guys just don't have a lot of sales. So let's go with, we'll buy one for $110. You guys think this can go up in a year? I mean, what has Utopia done? Has Utopia gone up? Let's check it real quick. Okay, let's see the Utopia. Let's go one year when it came out. So it started out at 435. It went up to 500. And now it's back down at 425. So it's about where it started. So that doesn't make me feel great. However, this was a $400 card rather than a 100. I wanna buy it. Let's go for it. $831, okay, we have $170 left. We are running a little low now. We have bought a lot of expensive stuff. So okay, we have forbidden chalice as a cool card. I think that might not be the best one to buy though. Not that we've necessarily bought the best stuff right now, but ooh, we could buy a structure deck. That would be kind of fun. This is a $100 structure deck, Warriors Triumph. Let's buy it. Let's get some seal. I like this. All right, we have $70 left now. Ooh, Dragon's Roar is 102? Well, I know it's unlimited. That's why, wait, was the other one we bought unlimited? If it was unlimited, maybe we should not get that. But we'll check it out in a second. Oh, the brain control, that's cool. Sacred Phoenix, there's no way there's a cheap, good version of this. Nirmit 100 bucks. It's not terrible actually. We could buy Halkofibrax. We've got a RetroPak 1 Sangan. I wonder how much those cost. Too much. Halkofibrax is 85. That's a little bit too much. I don't think we have enough for that. Solid morning, looking a little too expensive in first edition. You could buy unlimited for 70, which is about what we have left. Unlimited Ulti, definitely gonna be lower. Let's see. That puts us in exactly 1,063 cents. Let's see if that, was that deck first edition that we bought? Let me check out the cart. It is first edition. Is this what we wanna go with? So let's do a little review of what we're gonna buy. Not a lot of stuff. So we have a Lightning Storm. We also have the Leviathan Dragon Astral. So everything's Nirmit first edition if possible. Except here, we have unlimited solid morning. But it's a nice card, Ultimate Rare, that is used a lot. And if past formats come back, it could go up a little bit. Blue Eyes White Dragon, we bought one of these in first edition because it's just the only Ultimate Rare, very cool. Silent Swordsman, I just like this card. It's an Ultimate Rare. Kind of cheap for first edition Nirmit for such an old set, I think. A Dust of Gold is very cheap for how hard it is to pull. And if this is the only Secret Rare, like if they don't reprint this as a secret in Legend of Duel Season 3, this card will be really nice, I think, in the future. Blue Eyes, we got an unlimited one for eight bucks. I think that's a great deal because the Ultimate Rare is just really nice. It's the only option. We bought one sealed item. It's a Warrior's Triumph Structure Deck. Structure decks have actually been kind of going up recently, so I kind of want to hold on to at least one thing. And then we have an Ulti Stratos, very good. And then we have a Ghost Rare Red Eyes Flare Metal. This is a card that I've always wanted. And I don't own, so that's another reason I'm buying. I also think it's kind of cheap for a Ghost Rare of a really nice one as well. So that's our 1,000. It goes to 1,007, but the shipping doesn't really count the tax and stuff. So we will see what the prices of these go for in about a few months or a year when they actually come back. If you guys like this sort of shopping spree video and just seeing how the cards will do in the future, maybe we can do this on a different platform or something.
