 Today we're talking about the top five modern investments in Yu-Gi-Oh! What's up guys we're back with another discussion video where I'm going to be discussing what I think are the top five modern investments in Yu-Gi-Oh and of course this is not financial advice don't go on and spend all your money on the stuff that I'm talking about and let me know in the comments what you think you agree disagree on what I've decided on the top five. Now these won't be specific one cards it's gonna be like groups of cards for the most part sometimes there's two sometimes there's three or four that I'm talking about versus just five different cards before we do get into it I do have a giveaway I'll be giving away this display of ghosts from the past one to one of you guys all you have to do is like the video be subscribed turn on notifications let me know your opinion on the top five let me know your top five if you would like to or just some other cards that you like so to explain what I mean by modern I decided 2020 through 2022 so the last like three years could be considered modern some probably could go back farther but I just wanted to go to like the last three years and see like what was a decent investment what would be nice to pick up for the last couple years to maybe see if you can make some money and as you guys know I did the buy one thousand dollars and see what happens like the next year video series which is about to end in just like a week or two so keep an eye out for that we're gonna have the final results on if I even made any money so maybe you shouldn't even listen to me on this so when I was looking through all the different potential cards I was like are there any comments that are worth it no all the comments at this point are garbage you know they're worth basically nothing they don't even do rares anymore for like half the year so rares usually aren't very valuable supers are still kind of like rares so we're really looking at even like ultra rares mostly are not good I do actually have an ultra on this list so keep an eye out for that but it's pretty much like high rarity stuff we're looking like collector rares starlight rares ghost or stuff like that for the modern stuff it pretty much has to be a high rarity card to be worth it if you do want to go low and you can do penny stocks and buy some like 10 cent card that you think might go to a dollar but that's not what we're doing here we're doing more high-end stuff so at number five I decided to go with a set that we've talked about a lot this is not one singular card the exodia starlight set now we've already talked about this in my top 10 video where I was talking about battles of legend crystal revenge how much of an awesome idea it was we of course opened eight hours to try and pull the whole thing we still need the left arm I need to get more boxes I still I've been procrastinating a little bit it's an expensive set you know but I think that this is a really awesome set but I think we need to be careful to like maybe since it's kind of new you don't really want to go out and maybe buy them right now I think potentially it could dip a little bit before it goes up and it might never go up because these were actually higher pull ratios if you guys remember like basically one per case if you were at the us cases versus like normal it's like one out of two almost so it's usually a lot harder to pull starlights however there are more starlights so do with that way you will because that's kind of similar to how ghosts from the past two went prices were kind of down for that as well but in terms of actual collectability a set that I think a lot of people will want for a very long time the exodia starlight set really does it because exodia has been there since the very first episode of the anime it is of course iconic to people who don't even know yugioh they know exodia so having the absolute highest rarity in yugioh it is I think it's technically even higher than ghost because usually it's harder to pull but now we're kind of back to the same ratio so it's pretty similar to ghost at this point but one of the highest rarities for one of the most iconic cards even though the set comes out to about $1,150 if you bought it right now so we're not talking about like cheap like you'd have a high investment to get into it the chances that it actually goes up a lot within like the next six months or a year I was going through all the starlights like ever made and as of right now the top six most valuable are all from like 2020 or 2019 so if you're looking at a high-end starlight they're almost all at least two sometimes three years old so if you're buying a starlight now it's probably not going to become like crazy expensive yet it's definitely going to take a couple of years and also like the oppo and the ip are in the first two sets so especially the oppo loza like one of the very first starlights ever so that kind of bumps it up in a different way like when the exodia will never be the first starlight ever or anything but if you do look at these none of these are actual like old school collectible cards which could bode poorly for the the exodia because this is all like valer playable area i mean whatever you call that i it's not really playable either i guess waifu i don't know when we've got the 10k that's sort of a collector item that's probably the main collector item i think that one yeah that was 2020 wasn't it ip and an oppo were both playable but they're very early on so looking at the collectible ones they didn't do so hot so this was the highest and most expensive price of like the group of any of them that i did and i thought it was a little bit too high to put it above like number five because it's just too expensive you know you not everyone can buy this so i don't think it's the best option but i'm going to put it at number five because i think it's a great option if you can get it i think it's a really cool set at number four i did a group from two different sets i had the stardust dragon and the black rose dragon in starlight rarity now this one i actually decided to do like because i was doing some reshirts and i noticed that if you guys check out the stardust dragon it's actually gone up quite a bit it used to be 530 for a long time it was like 600 on release it kind of fell down around 500 530 and then it's had a pretty big jump here what's come up to around this says 599 but if you look at the lowest listed it's $789 for the near mint so this card's actually up toward the $800 range and i've noticed that these starlights tend to move like in couple hundred dollars worth of value so normally they stay around the same price like i remember the effect valer was like 400 bucks when i bought it then a few months later it went up to 600 and it kind of stayed at 600 for several months and then it's now it's at 800 so it's going up like 200 bucks it doesn't usually go up like 20 bucks at a time it usually kind of varies around there squiggles around and then it goes up a bunch like in a in a cliff it goes up a cliff i don't know what the word for that is it kind of spikes up and then plateaus spikes up again so that seems to be the way the stardust or the starlights work and the stardust seems to have spiked up about two or three hundred dollars and i figured it'll probably hang around this price for a while and then maybe we'll see it bump up again because this is now like a year and a half old or something it's getting to that point where like once it's like two and three years old you don't really find dawn of majesty people aren't opening dawn of majesty because the value is not there if you guys saw me open it the other day the best card's like a nine dollar card besides of course the starlights so no one's opening it for the stardust so what's out there is basically out there for the most part unless you're a crazy person like me who opens it up so i think it's getting to that point where it's a nice buy and it would have been a lot nicer you know when it was 500 but and of course just like the exodia set it was really it's a really expensive buy-in you know you're buying 780 bucks or whatever and this is also why i wanted to bring out the black rose so the stardust and black rose are both playable in edison format so you can use them in in formats they're sometimes even playable and like more current formats and then of course they're just collectible because of 5d's and stuff like that so if you check out here the black rose is not bumped up yet so it's in the similar range it's around 500 i think it's like 490 for the low it's around the same as the stardust but it hasn't gone up to 700 800 yet so i think i'm not saying it's gonna go up to 800 like the stardust but maybe this is the one you buy in and then you get it before the the next spike up to the next plateau or whatever and because it's so similar to stardust being playable in almost all the same decks as it is in edison it's not quite as good as stardust or at least it's not as quite as generic as stardust as i would say but it's still pretty good and it's also almost as iconic so it's like the the little brother or little sister whatever you want to call it to stardust but it's not that much farther down so i wanted to keep these in the same you know number four overall i think these are both pretty decent to pick up and i do not have the black rose myself i would love to pull it so maybe i should hope some lia for lightning overdrive probably not though all right now we're moving on to number three of our top five here it's a generic tune chaos collector rares it's not all the collector rares but there are several i specifically noted the chaos ember dragon the blackluster soldier tune bls and the stardust those four are pretty big and not only are they big they're pretty cheap for the most part i wrote down the lowest price available so for the tune chaos chaos ember dragon 94 99 we're talking first edition too near mint 94 99 less than 100 bucks that one's just insanely priced then the tune bls is 284 99 which is not that cheap but it's also like used in goat format quite a bit so it's a high rarity for that so that's like the more expensive one tune bls is also really collectible because tunes blackluster soldier collector rare just a ton of stuff going forward there that's 195 99 for the lowest and then the stardust which we just talked about in starlight it's only 139 99 for the collector rare so it's not quite at that 780 it's at 139 so you can get a much better deal for that one but you do have to keep in mind that these are a little bit easier to pull because there's 15 collector rares you pull four per case usually sometimes three usually four per case so it's about one every four cases you would get a specific one versus the stardust like in the starlight it's about one every 10 cases so it's a lot harder to pull but it's also much much cheaper and i mean just very accessible like if you wanted a tune chaos number dragon you don't even have to pay a hundred dollars which a hundred is still a lot of dollars for like a yugioh card but when we're talking in the grand scheme of collectible things it seems extremely cheap for what it is and if you remember tune chaos was actually somewhat short printed because of like the covid stuff going on at that point so it's a hard set to find in first edition so 95 99 i mean i think the boxes are 300 dollars or something that's a third of a box to get one of the best cards you could pull i don't know it seems like a really good deal there's also some other great collectors in here but those are like the main collectors ones so i wanted to highlight those and the cd is like the main like the standout i mean yeah you don't use this in go format because it's banned but you can use it in some other like older formats because people are getting in all sorts of formats right now due to like like cmo and some other people doing a bunch of really cool series so that i mean that just seems like a great deal and the stardust as i mentioned earlier playable in edison so i mean that's just a great card for as for the two black star soldier nobody's really playing it but it's just a really cool collectible card so i thought this almost seems like a no-brainer to go check out some of these singles because if you're if you're battling opening tune chaos versus buying tune chaos singles go with the singles i mean that's almost always true but in this case it's almost a no-brainer because you'd have to open four cases of 300 boxes we're talking 300 times 12 times four so that's 36 times 4 120 i always mess up this mess we're at like 144 something like that 144 150 boxes whatever to pull you know a $100 card if you're looking for like the stardust or the blockbuster soldier or i mean that's 300 but for like the stardust or if you're looking for the cd so like it's a no-brainer to buy the singles in this one and the singles are just really quality so i think it's a really nice number three and definitely we're checking out oh and i need to throw in before we go past that one first ever collector wears i mean first ever of a rarity so is awesome card first ever of a rarity in this set so just a lot of stuff going for this set let's go to number two number two we're talking about a set which has some disappointment with it and you guys already know we talked about this set it's not just this set but there's just few specific cards i think you should check out from ghosts from the past too i have some of the low prices written down again dark magician girls only $200 that's the most expensive one blue eyes white dragon sdk artwork that's important it's the artwork that everyone really likes 149 69 i mean that's not bad red eyes black dragon we're getting real cheap down 66.50 for a red eyes from the original starter deck joey artwork insane these are all ghost rares cyber dragon 48.50 i mean that's cheaper than the ultimate rares by a mile and there's two ultimate rares so there's one ghost rares bloods ultimate dragons 40.95 i've always thought this was a cheap card dark arm dragon 41.93 and you can use that in edison decks i mean for your dad decks i mean it's insane all those cards i mean we're talking four of them are under $70 i mean you want to go sure i have a card that you've always wanted and if you guys remember i mean there's nine ghost rares in the set so it's not easy it took me 13 cases to pull that red eyes which is worth 60 bucks so they're not easy to pull i mean they're pretty crazy this was a mass printed set unlike toon chaos which had like a short print factor to it this certainly did not i mean there was a lot of this set out there and there still is but these are all really iconic cards i mean they're very very cheap like even if you i mean you don't spend a lot of money on yugioh this is less than a box for a lot of these like cyber dragon bloods ultimate and dad are like two-thirds of a box red eyes by dragons comparable to one box so you just decide you know what i'm not going to buy my box you know this month or whatever i'm going to buy this red eyes you know you're you're you're spending the same amount it's insane and even if you want to go big on the dark magician girl it's only $200 and dark magician girl as iconic as it is it's just a really desired card and no matter where we go people are going to want it and if you are able to grab these are near mint prices because you know if you open this set a lot of the time they came out lightly played these are near mint cards you know you're buying like the best of the ones you would pull you're not buying mint probably most likely but if you were to open one of these you have to open a ton of boxes you get a lightly played card instead if you just buy the single then you know you get the best one possible which is much much cheaper and no brainer in my opinion you guys know i love to open stuff but if you're looking for value in your cards you of course buy the singles and these singles are really really cheap from ghosts from the past too and we're still in the first year so i think that there's still time for this to grow i can't imagine like a red eyes going down much more for 66 bucks i think eventually you know a couple of years from now we're going to be looking back like wow red eyes was 66 out of this set you know blue eyes ultimate dragon was 40 cyber dragon people still play cyber dragon decks and the meta they could run three ghost shares for you know 150 bucks that's the whole play set that's insane so i think this is a very nice value set in terms of buying singles let's go to number one and let's see what topped it oh and i know i'm not supposed to be talking about the set but i'm just talking about engine in general most of the ghost rest from this set are some of the best investments at number one here's the only single card that i did for this it's just one card and i kind of mentioned it in our top 10 the other day go check out the top 10 best sets of 2022 if you guys missed it you guys can see it pop up right here this one i mentioned specifically the dark magician from battles of chaos and i kind of went through why i thought this was such a nice card in that video but i want to go through it again because i think first of all let's start with the price it's an $88 card this card was pulled about once per case usually sometimes it was you wouldn't even get one so they weren't even guaranteed per case but usually you would get one every case so we're talking 12 boxes to pull one of these so 12 boxes is 700 plus dollars for like retail and you get to like you know the the set's been gone for a while you know almost a year at this point maybe like two-thirds of a year probably not that cheap to buy a whole case of this set and you're getting an $88 card this card was also randomly inserted which i thought was really really cool they've never done this before that i know of to my knowledge i don't think they've ever randomly inserted a card not in like the rare slot it's like it could be you could pull a star light in the rare slot and then you could pull the dark magician in the same pack so that's not even an error that just happens so i thought this was awesome and really cool like value for opening stuff up and really awesome just like a chase for stuff you could get and not only that it wasn't just any dark magician i know yeah there's a lot of dark magicians out there it was an artwork we'd never gotten before so it's a new artwork it's randomly inserted it's super cheap at $88 and one cent don't forget the one cent i just thought this was one of the coolest ideas they've had in a long time and i think that as i mentioned before the negative press of people thinking it was a $600 card saying it was really hard to pull i was part of that that made people they soured toward it they're like ew that's the card that everyone said was really rare but it's not really that rare in reality it's still a rare card it's one every case i mean that's pretty rare and in reality it's also still it's not expensive but i think it should probably be more than $88 but people were just they're put off by it they didn't they're like oh my goodness i saw that it was supposed to be one in whatever we said six cases and it's one in one cases way cheaper it's not 600 bucks anymore 700 bucks it's you know 80 bucks but i think that stigma as we go throughout the years is gonna go away because only the people who are around for that like initial hype are gonna care about that eventually people are gonna look at and be like oh that's a cool card how do you get that oh you get it in a random pack you know at the back of the pack of the front of the pack and you never really know where it's gonna pop up that sounds exciting you know it's a new artwork i mean i guess if they reprint the artwork that could hurt it but if they don't reprint the artwork it's like oh that's the only place you get it that's really cool so i thought this was a really really cool card i think it's super unique i hope they do it again and maybe this will be the first of something that we see maybe we start seeing blue eyes red eyes other artworks come over in this way as well i think that would be pretty awesome and this would then become the pioneer of those kind of cards which we don't actually have a name for those maybe you guys can take one in the comments like you know floater cards or something i don't know they're just randomly in the pack i just think they're really awesome i think this is a great buy at 88 bucks and then that's that's near min of course so you're in great shape for great condition as well all right guys that's my top five modern investments in yugioh let me know what you think about them in the comments of course don't go out and spend all your money on these thinking that they're gonna go up because in reality yugioh cards don't go up that often but these are the ones that i think have great potential in the next couple of years but if you do go buy these i have a tcg player in ebay affiliate link down below that you can use and it'll support my channel so it
