 What's up guys rex and 34 back here with another video and today I'm going to be talking about Legend of blue eyes and if it's investable, so yeah It's a pretty it talked about question But first of all remind you guys to like the video subscribe and hit the notification bill and Yeah, let's get into this make sure you guys check out my TCG player affiliate link if you guys are buying cards on TCG player Then you do it supports me and my eBay link as well If you're buying some on eBay use my link buy whatever you want on eBay and it comes back to me and supports the channel So pretty cool. And yeah, that's it for the intro. Let's just get into some LLB discussion So LLB obviously is legend of blue eyes I had questions about this and obviously you guys have heard about legend of blue eyes We're gonna keep this this angle the whole video. Yeah, we're not even going over here I obviously have not even cleaned up right here. There's just stuff everywhere But I was just like, let's talk about some LLB I got a question about LLB and if people if they you should buy LLB first edition and if it's worth it Of course, it is worth it But It's just it depends on what you're getting so Legend of blue eyes first edition you want to buy first edition if you're thinking about if you're thinking about investing if you're thinking about Increasing in value of your cards. So I know a lot of people they don't care about increasing the value of their cards They are just purely in it for you know Nostalgia or they just like the cards or whatever and if you're doing that Clearly you want to go the unlimited route Because unlimited is just much cheaper. It's it's way cheaper But even opening the box like box we open it's about eight hundred nine hundred a thousand dollars The first edition box is seven six five thousand You know, why not it's gonna be hard to find one for five thousand, but everyone's asking like seven thousand now, but It's a lot cheaper. So and if you're buying the singles, it's twenty dollars ten dollars five dollars commons or one dollar 50 cents, you know ten cents whatever so you can buy that stuff super cheap So if you want if you're just in it for you know, the love of the the cards Just buy the unlimited because it's the same but just doesn't say first edition but if you're looking in it for investing purposes you have to go first edition and What what is the best first edition LLB to buy? Is it singles? Is it raw singles PSA PSA nines, you know sealed product for me. This is this is my I guess you can say it's my opinion, but also it's there's some facts supported it You want to get sealed boxes the best investment is a sealed for LLB sealed first edition booster box and right now it's wavy or First print or whatever. I guess first print is it's a just it's a word that means nothing So probably stick with wavy when you're discussing it. So wavy legend blue eyes for whatever reason wavy appears to have less box boxes printed so I mean, I'm not an expert I don't have the print numbers, but it appears that they're according to you know a bunch of people like Gezi and you know Everyone who is peddle. Oh, sorry not peddling last you got to confuse it But yeah, Gezi 30 you about 33% of LLB is this is approximation based off of PSA population. So like Based on like if there's a Trihorn dragon graded, you know 100 times like 33 of them are wavy usually and then you know like 67 ish are glossy So there's way more glossy than there are wavy Usually so that's where that one third comes from. So it appears that there's about one third of LLB is wavy So obviously one third compared to two thirds is much rarer than two thirds Even though there are both first edition and they're both legend of blue eyes It's up for debate if that should matter at all But it does in the market. It matters at first edition wavy goes for more right now because people realize that it is harder to find wavy But what is wavy versus glossy wavy is just it's just how the card stock looks So the cards are exactly the same in terms of text on the card and all that stuff You know, they still say first edition they still say legend of blue eyes. They still have the same name same text You know, it's the same card. It's not like in pokemon with those shadow lists shadow lists literally looks different It has a different, you know, it's a different color everything about it's different so Um That when it comes to wavy versus glossy, it's really not different. But yet it the rarity or the rarity I guess you could say of wavy is It's it's more rare. So that's why people are paying a little bit more for it But back to what I was saying about legend of blue eyes legend of blue eyes Um booster box that is the best investment you can make When and wavy at this point. So well wavy box looks different than a glossy box Um because of the larger text, I believe is glossy. I'm not 100% sure but you can tell there's a way to tell Look it up. You go to made a video on it. I believe some other people did so um, and then just ask somebody that knows if you need to figure it out, but um The this is why booster boxes are the best and for investment purpose booster box Has that um, it's sealed, you know, it's a sealed product. It has that mystery factor about it Um, it could have the blue eyes in it. It could have an error, you know, can have error packs There could be 24 hollows in there, you know, it has that mystery factor then the fact that booster boxes the supply of booster boxes is always going down booster boxes You're not going to get more first edition booster boxes. It doesn't it's impossible You can say this about you know cards to singles you can say well, you know, they're not printing any more first edition cards But usually when we talk about um investing in singles, it's with psa. So with psa graded tins That's what you really care about when you invest because if you invest in a psa nine Um, it it's just not really an investment usually unless the card just extremely spikes that 10 Then the nine will probably go up with it a little bit But I mean it's gonna be like this, you know fly it up at 10 and just kind of creep it up at nine So the tins Um are the investment piece and tins can go up. So so there's not actually more blue like let's say blue eyes There's not actually more blue eyes on the market, but there are more tins as more graded So there's not going to be too many more graded, but There will it will go up. So there will go from 80 ish right now 80 I think there's like 84 or something but Gezi goes on this big thing about you know, two of them are misgraded, mislabeled and you know, all this stuff So there's around 80 ish. I'm graded. So 80 now maybe in 10 years. They'll be 90 or 100 maybe more But in 10 years from now a booster box, there's going to be 10 20 30 40 less than there is now There's not going to be any more And as you open those or as those are open More blue eyes more psa 10 blue eyes. So the blue eyes price is going to be Still not going to go down But it's going to you know, it's like oh more blue eyes. So it kind of the market's not kind of you know exploding But when you open a booster box The other ones that are not open they just got rarer. There are less of them so booster box investing in LOB first edition Is a no-brainer to me. I think at the 7 000 honestly the 7 000 price point that people are asking To me is low. I mean I know right now. It's probably pretty fair But in about five years an LOB booster box It's going to be way way way over 7 000 in my opinion And I say that because I you can't linearly um compare Pokemon to yugioh because they're not the same thing but when I say linear I mean like Any something that happens in pokemon isn't going to happen in yugioh exactly the same but Pokemon and yugioh, they're both TCGs they're both Um, you know, they're japanese cheese TCGs. They have a tv show. They have a card game They're very similar very very similar Pokemon is a little bit different because pokemon is a huge brand and everybody knows pokemon So like you can talk to anybody and almost everyone has heard of pokemon unless they're like 60 plus years old You know, if you're if you're 40 or younger, you know, pokemon is you know, you've seen it You've heard of a charizard. You've heard of whatever yugioh is very popular, but not it's not to that level It doesn't have those video games that people are still wanting to buy in the 30s There's not like five year olds, you know, I want to get the new sword and shield game You know that pokemon has that going for it yugioh doesn't really have it has some good games coming out But like it's not the same level and then there's not just Like the newer cards are really like, you know, the shiny chars are fad like people went crazy for that Everyone was buying those cards. That's not really happening in yugioh. Like I kind of like how the prismatics Showed up. I do like prismatics it's just They're not doing it quite as well like I like the rarity factor, but they need to do something for Um, like collectors. I think I think that if they put like a blue eyes prismatic in a set I think that that would be crazy I think a lot of people would want to buy that because of the blue eyes, you know The kind of like they do with chars are in pokemon. So um Yeah, so that's kind of a tangent, but basically pokemon and yugioh So I was comparing those two why I think the booster box for legend of blue eyes is going to go way up Um, not it's not going to spike. I mean, you know, it's going to be years It's an investment. We're talking about an investment investment investment is not one year an investment is not six months Investment is three five years ten years, you know a long time. So Why do I think that legend of blue eyes booster boxes and Singles as well, they're going to go up to especially in 10. Um, I think that's going to happen because we you look at pokemon if you look at that base set booster box Three years ago two years ago probably like three years ago. $10,000 So why pretty close to what alibi boxes now, you know seven and 10,000 Three years later. There's been a lot of things. There's been you know, there's been pokemon go came out around then There's been the pokemon movie came out, you know detective pikachu 90 to 100,000 for a booster box three years So i'm not saying you can't compare you can't say okay. So that means in three years LOB is going to go up by 10 times so it's going to be 70,000 can't say that it's not going to it doesn't work like that but That trend that huge increase over years several years um I just feel like It's a no-brainer and and it's not just one example pokemon did that But if you go back to the older game magic theathering you look at silk product It is insanely priced now. It's pretty cool because magic came out in 93. So it's the oldest. It's you know, 27 years old this year um Pokemon is 99. So it's you know, 21 years old And then you got yugioh, which is the youngster 18 years old this year So you can kind of look at those other two games and you see what happens with magic the alpha sealed stuff the beta sealed stuff The unlimited sealed stuff all those first three sets Which are basically all i from my understanding magic Those are all like the same set kind of except they're like I think unlimited had a different colored border and then they were cut differently on alpha and beta I believe but they all have like similar cards or the same cards Maybe they had the power nine in there basically the big the big nine of the pulls Um those sealed packs are insane Like I don't even know what they like they go for like one pack is like two thousand five hundred bucks You know three thousand bucks. It's even more than the first edition pokemon stuff um So and if i'm looking at that as a yugioh guy i'm thinking LOB is the alpha the beta the base set of yugio And and i'm and i'm thinking when i'm comparing it to pokemon i'm like well pokemon is so big Like maybe that's why it went up then I go to magic magic is not big magic is big for You know the people that played it. There's nothing else. There's no video games There's no uh movies. There's nothing like there's no like anything else besides the card game Bringing up the value and the value is still insane So with yugioh having you know an iconic show It having um You know Uh it has a current card game, which is still pretty strong um going right now It has shows it has games still coming out it has dual links, which is you know done pretty well And they've even changed up the new rules to bring back, you know new new people with the new stuff It's just and no brainer to me that if you have if you want to invest in LOB first edition It's there's nothing like there's almost nothing to worry about You you and you buy that box you set it aside and in a few years you're going to make your easy easy money on it But obviously the problem with investing LOB is that it's $7,000. So if you don't have an extra 7k to invest and I mean this okay. This is let me let me say this You should not invest in it unless of course you have You know if you only have 7,000 bucks and you you want a quick flip or you need to get your money back quickly Do not buy that because it's a year. It's years, you know It's three four five years before you get big returns potentially I mean it's possible you could buy and it spikes all of a sudden But as you don't want to risk, you know 7,000 bucks on that but to me Um that booster box is a no brainer buy to invest in that's my personal opinion Based on how magic the gathering and base base that pokemon have done um Secondly, I believe the guy when he asked was talking about singles So um when buying singles for LOB first edition I would try to avoid play copies and stuff like that because that stuff will I mean it will eventually increase But it's just much harder to get your value out of played copies like play copies. I and even your mint I'd be looking for this these do not exist anymore raw mint copies. Those do not exist But if you can find those obviously you want to get those in great um, but ps a 10s are what you're going to want For best for for an investment purposes You want to have that ps a 10 that people will buy and even these days you're going to want to look You want to be careful with what 10s you buy because personally, I'm not a huge strong 10 guy But I know a lot of people are strong 10 guys. So if you have a week 10, they're not going to be It's not going to sell for as much. So if you buy your 10s and make sure, you know Be careful. Don't buy anything that got misgraded or something like that. Um, but yeah 10s are a very good investment Nines um are a great value for what you buy. Um, they're much lower, but they're not going to go up as much. So, um For me, I think l o b first edition booster box slash booster packs booster packs as well Will be very big because if you look at pokemon Um and magic there's their first edition or their alpha packs um Or I I'm trying to think if alpha alpha's weird. I don't even know if they had a box But like beta had a box into that um That stuff in individual booster packs is selling really well So if you buy first edition l o b pack and sit on it, that's still that's still a good investment While it's not a booster box a booster box is the best Obviously if you have an unbroken booster box if you have an unbroken booster case, you're insane Like just sit on that thing because that's going to be Big big money because the the less that's been open the better like in terms of old stuff. So Um, that's about it. I went on for a long time. I didn't realize I had that much say I had nothing. This was all just out of my Winging it brain, you know, I think about this stuff all the time. So that's why it was so easy, but um, I hope that helped out um For you guys who are wondering. I know a lot of you guys, you know, you guys big l o b guys you guys know all this stuff, but um Personally, I'm thinking l o b first edition booster boxes are the best investment Then if you get ps a 10's those are always going to be popular as long as you guill is a strong game And even on past that because you know the collector's mark is very strong right now. So that's it for today I'll see you guys later. Peace
