 I spent $1,000 on TCG player. Let's see how it's doing. What's up guys, we're back with another epic video and today we're gonna be looking at the $1,000 I spent on TCG player. We're gonna see how those cards are doing about five and a half months later, not quite six months yet. We did this at the very beginning of 2022. I'm interested to see if we made any money at all. But first we have a giveaway. Since we're talking about TCG player, I'll be giving away a $50 TCG player gift card. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, turn on notifications and let me know what you think about the investments that I spent on. What would you spend your money on if you had spent $1,000 on TCG player, et cetera? So here is our spreadsheet, everything we bought. So a couple of them came in light play condition, three of them actually. Well, that was an unfortunate, well this is the deck so it doesn't really matter that much. Here's what we have. Here's our original cost. Everything we spent, we spent 1,063 cents. We're gonna check in on all the prices. We're gonna start off with the blue eyes white dragon. So we're gonna type in blue eyes white dragon. I don't remember if they have like an ultimate rare. It's really annoying. I see, look, they have like random designation. So if I didn't type in this UTR part, then it just wouldn't come up. It wouldn't be an option. So it's like, you have to know specifically, yeah, they need to fix up TCG player. Group them all in the same thing. So let's see what we're looking for. We're looking for near mint. I think, was it near mint first edition? No, near mint unlimited and then light play first edition. So near mint first edition, the lowest I always do verified seller because some of these sellers are legit that don't have a check mark, but some of them are not. So we're just gonna go with fry boy collectibles here with 9.99. That's what we're gonna stick with on our price. So let's go back here. Let's go near mint. This is the unlimited. So this one actually did go up. So that's a good sign. I figured that what we spent on this ulti was supposed to be near mint. I bet the light plays not even close. So we're probably gonna lose all the money back on that. So let's go back. So we have light play first edition. Yeah, so let's see if it had actually been near mint. Near mint would be 27. So yeah, it would be 27, but unfortunately we got a lightly played version. I could have returned it. I probably should have, I just didn't feel like it. So we're gonna go 10.99. It's barely more. So we're definitely losing money on this one right now. This is a factor you have to take into consideration in investing in cards on TCG player. They might not come in the right condition. You probably have to return them. If you don't, you're just gonna lose a lot of money. Like I just did right there, basically. The silent swordsman level five. This is the iconic one that took months to arrive. It finally did arrive. So let's see if we've made any money. It was lightly played, unfortunately, but it's from Flaming Eternity. So they're often lightly played stuff like that. So let's check it out. Silent Swordsman level eight. Was it Silent Swordsman level five ulti? Yeah, okay. Okay. So this card first edition lightly played 37. Let's see if it was near mint. Near mint would be, yeah, 125. So like, we would be doing okay if we actually got the right condition that we bought. We would actually be doing pretty good. But these lightly played are really killing us right now. So this is 37-10. So like this 87 that we paid is great for if it's near mint. It's terrible if it's lightly played. But I still think it's actually okay condition. It's just Flaming Eternity is often very scuffed up. So it's kind of hard to tell. So we're not looking good so far. The rest of these are near mint. So let's see if we actually made anything. Number 17 Leviathan Dragon Astral from Brothers of Legend. Let's see if this thing went up. Number 17 Leviathan Dragon. Where's the astral? There it is. Okay, to the very top. Don't miss that. Okay. Oh no. Is this really this cheap? 64.94. Wow, you can get an astral card for 64.94. That was not a good choice for sure. So we are looking really bad on our money right now, guys. This is not good. We're four out of our 10 items through. I think it's 10. Yeah. So we're gonna need to really step it up even I've chance to break even. So let's go with Lightning Storm. I don't know if Lightning Storm's really gone crazy yet. Let's see if it has Lightning Storm. This was our big one actually for the Starlight Rare. Let's see if it's gone up. It was at like, oh, look at that. We finally have one that went up. Okay. This is looking nice. 363.95. OG Fats, I think actually I've bought from multiple times on Instagram. So shout out to him. Let's go. 363.95. Or he's bought from me, I should say. 363.95. Oh, there we go. That's nice. A $65.54 profit. That's not gonna cancel out everything, but it's definitely helping it with those Silent Storms in the number 17. Number 17 really killed us. Now let's go to the solemn warning. Okay, Ulti Unlimited. All right, let's check this thing out. Ulti Unlimited, we paid 69.68. I don't know if it's gonna have gone up or not. Why did we buy an unlimited card? I don't know if that was a good idea or not. Okay, solemn warning, Ultimate Rare. We have, what was it, Nirmit Unlimited? Okay, so it looks like we lost. If this guy had not listed it, we would be fine. But this EJ Gaming is really killing us right now. It's 63.69. There's one option. Basically, we're broken even other than that. Everyone else looks like it's actually gone up. So I think we're actually pretty even on this one, but we'll put 63.69 for now. All right, 63.69, cool. All right, a Dusted Gold. I don't know how this one's done from Brothers of Legend. Let's go check it out. A Dusted Gold, first edition, Evil Hero, Dusted Gold. All right, so it's out of stock? Is that right? No, maybe for unlimited. There we go. Okay, Nirmit is 748. So this one has also gone down. So a Dusted Gold being so hard to pull. It doesn't even matter, apparently. It's still really cheap. I guess you only play one off in the deck. That was probably the mistake we made investing in that. Here's one that I have faith in. Elemental Hero Stratos, Nirmit Ulti from the OTS pack. So let's go see what this did. We paid $149.99. I have a good feeling about this one. I think it went up. I think, I mean, I don't know. I'm just guessing. I mean, we invested in it, so there's a reason we did that. Okay, I didn't see an ultimate. There's an ultimate rare. Okay, we have, okay, German. We're good, we're good. That doesn't count. It was $63.98, so it looks like it did go up a little bit. And that's pretty good. So we're up about 14 bucks on that one. That's not too bad. This is gonna help us counteract. If you guys can see down here, we're still minus 278, but we have two cards to go. So that's fine. We could maybe break even. Next one is our last actual card. Then we have a deck. We have the Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon Ghost Rare. Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon Ghost Rare, let's see. This one was first edition, so oh yeah, you can't put the dashes anymore, which is weird. Dragon Ghost Rare, okay. Was it actually near mint? I can't remember. Yeah, it wasn't near mint. That's cool. First edition near mint. Let's go. Near mint, first edition. Okay, that's Italian, $190. That's what I'm talking about. So we spent 138. This one's $190 now. So we're up $51. So it looks like we actually are gonna go positive even with these terrible ones right now. Assuming the Warriors Triumph isn't for sale, like 40 bucks. So we're gonna go into the Warriors Triumph. I'm not even sure. Can you just search these decks? I don't know. Warriors Triumph. Was it first edition? Well, we can check if it's first edition. Here it is. First edition Warriors Triumph deck. Pretty cool that we bought that. Let's see what else. It is now, nope, that's not verified. So we don't count that one. He's also 97% feedback, nothing good. 100%, this is legit right here, $115. And we bought this thing for 99. We would be breaking even on the other guy anyway. So it looks like, okay, that's pretty sick. We spent $1,000.63. We now have $1,027.12. So we've made $26.49. We're up about 3% on our money, which actually is not that bad for half a year. It's not like the worst thing ever. But it's not, I mean, it's not like, whoa, make crazy money. But it did go up, which is nice. And if we didn't make terrible decisions with our Leviathan dragon, and then we also returned these lightly played cards. So these lost us a total between Silent Swordsman and Blue Eyes White Dragon. We lost about $65, which could have been avoided just by returning the cards. And then I think we actually would have made money if we'd gotten a near-met Silent Swordsman instead. It would have worked out a lot better if I just, you know, bothered to return them. And then Leviathan Dragon, it's probably a bad idea to go with this one. I didn't think it would get to 65. This is way lower than I thought it would get to, but I thought $100 was extremely cheap, 110 basically. So I have faith that eventually this card will creep its way back up, being a pretty tough card to pull. I never pulled it out of all the cases we opened. So I don't think that 65 is like realistically gonna be the price for that long, even though it's not really that desired. So that could be really factoring in it. I mean, it's a rare card, but nobody really wants it. But overall, I'm pretty happy about how this is going. I mean, this is not that bad for how bad it started, like when we look through and we're losing a ton of money. I'm actually super happy about how some of these are doing. So if you guys are enjoying this kind of video and you wanna see more, I'm considering doing something similar to this, but with more people involved. So if you wanna see that, make sure to let me know in the comments. I'm really enjoying this. I think it's fun, even though we get to only revisit it like every few months, but it's still been pretty interesting to see how the cards are doing. I think I definitely could have made some better decisions. Let me know which cards I should have bought instead of these cards down below, and I'll keep those in mind for maybe a future episode.
