 What's up guys today? We're going to be looking at what it was like to be a Yu-Gi-Oh collector in 2013 Seven years ago. So this is a video by old-school expert one of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh youtubers He's a vintage guy. He's posted a lot of old-school openings and stuff like that So this is his binder from 2013. He quotes a lot of prices at the time Which is what made me like fascinated with this video I was like this is hilarious The prices are just so much different than now and they're just almost comically low at the time I guess they were not low obviously there was a lot different But I thought you guys would get a kick out of this seeing what it was like seven years ago with all of our Cards that are hundreds and thousands of dollars. Some of these are just crazy low So let's let's hop into it. Yeah, and he's recording vertically. He doesn't normally do that This just shows you how old the video is so the video is like that. I know You've probably never seen so many awesome old-school cards all in one collection and everything is first edition and everything's English It's all mint or near-mint condition. Most of it being mint The cool thing about this video is there's a lot of mint candy He is like mint condition rock art Did you don't really see those anymore because they've all been graded but in like 2013 people weren't grading much I guess there was a couple of people doing it But for the most part hardly anyone was grading Yu-Gi-Oh cards or grading sports cards, but not Yu-Gi-Oh So a lot of his stuff is like mint condition. Raw, which is really cool to see. Here's where it gets interesting Mechanical chaser, morphing jar, needle worm Royal decree, luminous soldier, tomb canis soldier, dv warrior, magic arm shield, and another mechanical chaser That's what I pulled out of my box These obviously the first four are the real rare ones Royal Decrees are up right now. It varies in price according to the ban list because it's a pretty useful card But this is around like 65-70 bucks right now That one isn't too crazy because it was as he said playable back then so 65-70 I think it's probably like 120 now or something like that. I'm not totally sure. I'll pop it up That's how I'm filming this video, which was 2013 late 2013 something like that So this stuff doesn't fluctuate too much because it's older collectible and it's pretty steady steady in 2013 but not now Morphing jar for mint ones are about 150 $150 for a mint morphing jar if you guys saw my top 10 most valuable cards check it out Morphing jar was my number one card at about $8,000 and a 10 so $150 then 8,000 now here. We've got some promo cards. We've got the three. He actually has the DDS promos DDS promos Those are the big ones obviously really rare all in general condition That's really hard to find hard to find in the sealed games, too I can tell you he didn't say the prices of those but I was interested to see what they were going for I think DDS blue eyes was always still kind of expensive got the exodia set first edition This is gone up a lot. There's one on eBay right now by the time this video gets posted It'll be gone, but it's at $265. That's the auction. It started it like a hundred bucks Mint condition first edition legend of blue eyes exodia set $265 that is a lot currently at this time according to him. It was a lot at 2013 now Good luck getting even one mint piece for $265. That's pretty crazy. I would say the whole set is worth 10 grand and 10s maybe something like that. It's a lot So first set exodia sets are pretty expensive these days and this one is mint had for a while paid $55 for it back in 2007 He paid $55 in 2007. So if we go back 13 years you're paying $55 for a set three first-ed L.O.B. Blue-Eye Three first-ed L.O.B. Blue-Eyes. Let's see if he says the price. These guys are getting really rare Really rare. They've shot up to about $50 $50 $50 those cards in 10 are like what? One sold for okay. This price was questionable because there was some shielding, but 85 grand $50 So whether they're 40 or 85 grand, whatever the whatever the real prices they were 50 back in 2013 These are all this is I call this my gem mint page because everything on here has been pulled from a pack It's packed fresh perfect nothing wrong with it That's most of the binder, but this one especially this page because I pulled almost all this stuff So we've got four red eyes for blue eyes and a monster reborn. It's all First edition I did not pull the monster. Unfortunately. Hey, we pulled a monster reborn This page is also kind of expensive. The dark magicians are almost about $40 net 40 bucks three Guy the fierce nights First step they're about there's still about ten bucks. That guy was ten dollars This guy mint condition ten dollars now. He's about two thousand and we got the Mix of metal raiders supers and LOP supers couple dark holes. That's three dark holes I'm willing to trade any of this stuff. Please can I trade you please? Please but I don't usually sell Not big on selling it because see that's that's the thing about back then when the prices were like five bucks ten bucks or whatever I wouldn't sell much either I think trading makes a lot more sense because if you're gonna sit like why sell something for five dollars You can trade it for another card you want because five dollars. You know, it's just not much So here we've got metal raiders stuff three-time lizards All the metal raiders stuff has actually gone up in price leave your guesses in the comments So what it went up to? So I'm pretty much you said some of school. I just have it around Eight to ten dollars eight to ten dollars guys summon skull first-edition mint was eight to ten dollars But time was it used to be like four five bucks now these are about ten ten these skulls were about eight That's how much I pay for each of these eight dollars go for Twenty twenty five dollars twenty twenty five. All right. We're getting up there eight dollars barrel dragons These have gone up to almost 30 bucks 30 bucks well, they must have been like playable. There's like more than someone's called three times. It's crazy It's really crazy. I don't know. Yes, there are more collectors now So obviously the supply cannot get any bigger so the demand had must have increased Economics 101 so we got three buster bladers three got an attack force and then first I called the haunted Well, I don't know why I say first to everything in here is first-ed Seats fire chain destruction I guess I just say it cuz like unlimited edition is just not worth nearly as much with this older stuff I want to know what the unlimited price is where I'm guessing like a buck 50 cents $2 because this stuff I'm some of it's like five to eight dollars some of the values. So we got three Dark paladins up here. These are the arid ones. I've told you guys about Pretty rare about 40 bucks each 40 bucks for corrected dark paladin So whether you believe that's a overhyped card or not 40 bucks was a good deal They were 40 bucks for a long time and then boom Now they're in PSA 10 like four or five grand something like that And XYZ dragon and XY dragon funny thing is this is like, you know, five or six bucks first-ed men And this is like three first edition XYZ dragon cannon three dollars. That's pretty cool I mean, it's not still not that expensive now, but first-edition magicians force ultra rare $3 another corrected Dark paladin if someone wants to let me know I'll take it. I'll take it. I'm gonna send him this I'll take it. So that's what it was like in 2013 if you were collecting old-school cards The cards were cheap. We're talking $40 dark paladin corrected art. We're talking $8 sum and skull first-edition men. I mean, it's just crazy Can you guys even imagine that like right now what you'd spend on one PSA card could buy you almost every card in his Binder which this binder at this point, you know, what was worth a few hundred bucks now It's like this if this same binder existed be worth tens of thousands, you know It's crazy just crazy to see what's happened with Yu-Gi-Oh Hope you guys enjoyed that if you did make sure you guys like the video and go ahead and check out old-school expert I'll link him down below because one this is his video to he has a great channel and then Don't need a third thing don't really need a third thing. Yeah, so that's it for this video guys. I'll see you guys later peace Dark bright
