 Today, we look at my $1,000 purchase on TCG Player from Twitch Chat. What's up, guys? We're back with another $1,000 TCG Player purchase. We did this last year, all the way through the year. We checked it out the whole time as a playlist. If you guys wanna check it out, it'll pop up on the screen somewhere. We also did it again this year, where I had my Twitch Chat decide which cards we were actually gonna buy. You can see the other videos here. We've opened the mail. We've done all that stuff, but we have not revisited them to see how the cards are actually doing right now. So in this video, I'm gonna be checking on the prices of everything we bought to see if we've made money or lost money. Probably that. Before we get into it, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away a $50 TCG Player gift card. Just like the video, be subscribed to our notifications, and let me know what you think of our purchases and how you think they're gonna do by the end of the year. Okay, so here is our spreadsheet of everything that we bought, our cost, $1230 price. Today, at the time of recording this, is $31623. So it's been about two and a half months since we started. I used to do these every three months, but now I'm just gonna kinda do them randomly a little bit earlier this time. Let's check in on how we're doing. We bought three Sky Striker Ace Rows. So let's go to TCG Player and see what they're worth now. Okay, so here's the one we bought. Sky Striker Ace Rows is the 2021 at Ten of Ancient Battles. Let's see what the lowest verified listing for near-mint is. So at the moment, it is 99 cents. So I think it's actually lower than what we paid, because ours were, we bought three different ones. $3.38 total for the three we bought. These are now at 99 cents. So basically, we can put this at 99 times three. That gives us a $2.97 total value, which is a little bit less here. All right, we've updated my spreadsheet and now we have a 41 cent loss there with a 14% decrease. So off to a bad start, but it's only a 41 cent loss. Not a big deal. We've got a lot bigger cards we have to worry about that hopefully are doing better than that. So let's go back and check on the Dark Arm Dragon Ghost Rare that we bought. Okay, Dark Arm Dragon Ghost Rare. Let's see if the near-mint's doing good. Okay, this is not a good sign right here, down, but we're coming back a little bit. Let's see, I think we paid like 40 something dollars. This one's now, okay, this is not verified. So we'll go here, 42.23. That's gonna be close to what we paid. Oh man, it's almost the same, but it's a little bit lower. So we lost a dollar and five cents and then 2% change on the actual value, but it was a down, you know, a negative change. So that's unfortunate, but that's okay. Still doing fine. We haven't lost a ton of money, just like a dollar 50 so far. We really need something big to show up. Maybe this Colossal Fighter will be the change. Let's check out the Ultimate Rare. Okay, so Colossal Fighter first one listed. Uh-oh, that's not a good sign. Uh-oh, uh-oh, that's not good. It's down, okay, wait, wait, wait, 85. Okay, so that is down a little bit. So it's down three bucks, exactly. So it's nothing crazy, it's 4%. We're always slightly going down at the moment. Nothing has actually gone back up. We're hoping to get something to go up. Ally of Justice Catastor. It's kind of in the same class as Colossal Fighter, so I'm not feeling great about it, but let's go check and see if it actually went up. Okay, so we got the Ultimate Rare. There's a bunch of different versions. Oh, I hope it is not $37. That would be a problem. Yeah, this is the same thing. It's an Edison card. That's just on the decrease. Let's see what it's at. $79.99, wait, how much was it again? Oh, look at that, $79.99. Let's double check and make sure that's right. $79.99, this one's $75, but it has $4.99 shipping, so it's really $79.99. And look, there's eight of these available from Core TCG. Okay, I was about to say there's only a couple listed before it goes down to $95, but they have eight available, so really there's 10 listed, because this guy has two as well. So you got the sales on this thing. The sales on the other hand are showing, like they've been bought out or something, because all the 50s and 60s and low 70s have been bought. The lowest right now is $80, so it looks like we actually have gone up $9.99. There's a 12% increase of our money, and at this point our net gain slash loss is, we can't see yet because we've got to do all this, but it looks like we've definitely made money throughout this. Once we get through all this, we'll be able to see the change in price, total percentage and everything like that, and see if we actually made money. Okay, now it's time to check out the Ash Blossom. We have a lot more cards this year than we did last year. I think we bought like a total of nine or 10 products slash cards. This year I have a total of how many? 78 different cards, which is insane. It's a lot more cards. So 78 different cards. The next six are the Ash Blossom Enjoy Spring, which is Secret Rare. It also got a reprint recently, could have heard it, but we'll have to see if that actually did. The Ash Blossom Secret Rare, let's see if that was a good decision buying that one. I think it was. I think it was decent no matter what this says. Okay, so, ooh, this looks promising. Uh-oh, uh-oh, wait, wait, wait. Nirmit Lois, so these are Korean, so you always gotta check. There's like a description below that usually means it's a foreign card or something, or maybe graded or something like that. This guy is not verified, not verified. Do we just see that guy? Maybe not. So it looks like the lowest verified is 10. So there's some random ones that are not verified here, but they have shipping at it. This guy's shipping included, so it's $10.40 for the look. So with this one, since we did get 10, we gotta do 10.40 times six to see where we're at. We're at 62, so we've made $2.46, about a 4% increase, which is actually, I mean solid. If everything went up 4%, we do, you know, fairly well. But yeah, so not bad overall, not a huge gain on all of them. Seems like at the, when we first did it, we paid about $10 a piece and now they're slightly over that. So not bad on the Ash Blossoms. I can expect those to do well because those prismatic secrets look really good. And if you're gonna play like an Ash Blossom, if you're gonna play a common, you might as well play that one for 10 bucks because the common's like eight or nine. So you might as well get that really nice looking version. Okay, now we got the pot of desires. This is the one I didn't really wanna buy this one, but chat was insistent on buying this one. I think I checked this recently. I don't think this has gone up. I think it was around like 55 bucks last I checked. Let's see. Oh, maybe, oh, okay. Maybe it got a couple of days. Last couple of days. It did go up. No way. I just checked this thing. So it looks like all the fifties were bought and then now we're up to 65, 75. Because that's not verified. This is a Korean copy. Anything else? Yeah, 65, 75. Wow. Wait a second. Pot of desires Twitch chat. Shout out to the Twitch chat, by the way. And since this whole video was made because of Twitch chat buying all these cards, you might as well go check out Twitch, which is twitch.tv slash ruxin34. The links in the description. You guys wanna see me stream there, stream Monday, Wednesday, Friday. We do cool stuff like this. So go check it out if you guys are interested. Next up, the trap just trap whole nightmare, which the trap trick stuff has been doing good. So I have high hopes for this. Let's hope that it went up. It's not like, I think you usually play like one or two of these anyway, but it's still not bad to have this since we have like six ultimate rares, which is a hilarious purchase, but six ultimate rares. Look at this. Look at this, near mid 69, 99. We've made $246, 59% increase. Wow, when we bought these, we were like, well, they've already announced the trap trick, you know, structure deck. So it's probably not gonna go up that much. We'll buy it anyway, just in case. And like that deck has gotten really popular. People are playing it a lot because you can basically play it with just the structure deck, but I guess if you wanna bling it out, this is the way to do it. And wow, we have got a 59% increase, $246. Wow, that is insane. So we basically, is that right? 59% increase? Okay, doing that made me realize that I had my formula wrong because I was like, that 59% increase, that's not right, 141% increase. So some of these have changed a little bit from what we saw earlier because I was dividing by the wrong things, a little math stuff going on here, but don't worry about that. With that back in the accounting days, we cared about that. But yeah, so 141% increase from the 173 that we spent to the $420, $420, good sign. That is insane, a $246 increase. That's weird that it's exactly $246. Okay, we're looking good. I think we're gonna make money for once on this. But the question is, will this hold up throughout the entire year? Cause I'm guessing that they'll go down or like, what do you guys think we should do? Should we be able to resell in the middle of the year? Like, should I be able to post my trap tricks, trap hole nightmares and sell them and lock in our price? Honestly, I think we should be able to do that. It wouldn't make more sense, but I want you guys opinion. Let me know in the comments right now. Can I sell some of the cards in the middle of the year? Do I have to wait it out? We waited it out last year. I think it'd be a cool change in the second year to be able to sell some cards like while they're at their high. Cause I feel like the trap trick, trap hole nightmare, eventually the trap tricks deck is not gonna be as popular. Price is gonna go back down. We're not gonna make any money. So I feel like now is the good time to actually sell them. All right, time for the June Black Luster Soldier. Let's see what it's done. This is a weird one. I could see it going up, but I really don't know because it's still pretty new. I don't know if it's gonna hold on or not. Okay, so here we go. Not looking good from the outside. Let's see, 661, two lazy dogs is selling it. So I think that went down. Yeah, 661, so we've lost $1.23. This is my far, I'm still amazed by the trap tricks, trap hole nightmare. This is by far the biggest spike we've had on one of these videos. So that's awesome. That's a monumental occasion compared to the other ones, but we lost on a lot of the other cards, but only a dollar. No big deal. Let's go to Instinfusion. This is another one that we were like, this could get banned at any moment. So it's probably gonna be down at some point. Instinfusion ultimate rare. Let's see. Okay, check this out. All right, Instinfusion. I think that we lost some more money here. All right, $99.94. Not looking too good there. Well, someone bought one for 130. That seems like an outlier. That's kind of weird. Okay, so this is taking back some of our trap tricks, trap hole nightmare stonks here. We lost $22, 18%. That's our biggest loss yet in terms of percentage. Yeah, not great. We kind of knew when we bought this one, this was a bad idea, but they were kind of like, hey, do you own this card? I'm like, no, they're like, you should buy it then. I was like, okay, sure, whatever. The next one is a funny one. We bought 10 night beam. Very weird purchase. The funny part was I actually have a light play night beam listed on my own TCG player. We bought a bunch of near mint ones and a lot of them came in light play, but hey, we're gonna check in on them. 10 near mint night beam. Did you come through night beam? Ultimate rare, we bought 10 of you. So I hope you did. Oh no, oh no, guys. Not good, not good. Near mint unlimited. Wait, where's first dead? Wait a second, there's no first dead option. Are they bought out or something? Where are the first deads? Where do they bought out? I think they're bought out. I don't think there's a single night beam available in first dead. That can be right. There has to be at least a light play one or something. Oh, I guess they sold them on plays. Okay, I thought I had one listed but apparently it was unlimited. Also for some reason it's at 22 bucks. So I guess at some point it was $22. Let's see if we can find my listing. I don't see it. I don't even see my listing. It's on here somewhere. But wait, where's the first dead? First dead, look, there are first deads. Why would it let me filter? What's going on with TCG player today? Okay, well we can see here that the lowest list is 1349, which is a good sign for us. After all that work, we figured it out. Okay, so we have 1349 times 10, which is a 27% increase on our card because we spent about $10 a piece slightly over that. You can see $106 for 10. We gained $28 on this one, which made up for our instant fusion loss, which is not bad. So our night beams are actually paying off at the moment, which is a miracle, to be honest. All right, let's move on to Baxia. We're actually doing really well right now. We already have, wait, we already have $1,000. We're like halfway done. We look, we've had $999 on what we spent was $1,000. So we're literally, I've made our money back already. Night beam and trap tricks, trap hole nightmare coming in clutch. Let's go to Baxia up next. Couple of people tried to buy these off me after the video. I was like, well, it's kind of for the video. So we can't sell them. Okay, we got a $30. I feel like we didn't make any money on that. What was it? $30.50. Okay, so we lost 50 cents, but if you look here, that's the only one listed. And then they kind of go up to like 40 almost, like light plates. So we got a, you know, these are not verified. We go up to actually verified $44. Let's just keep going. Okay. $45. So if this it's me V over here, we'll just sell his copy real quick. We'd be up 15 bucks, which would be insane. Nirmit once sold for $39. So I guess this guy's just a motivated seller. But honestly, like this seems like it's doing fine because there's not a lot of listings. That's just kind of what it comes down to. But that's not too bad. Yazi's up next. Let's see if Yazi did as well as Baxia, even though it didn't make any money technically. I think it's actually doing pretty well. Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. First edition market price making its way up. Let's see. We got a $24.99 from versus gaming. Did we make any money on that? We did. A dollar 10, so a 5% increase. That's not bad at all. We'll take a dollar 10. That's pretty solid. Basically at this point, if they've made anything at all, I'm pretty happy because it's only been a couple of months. And if they've made anything crazy, like trap, trap, trap all nightmare, now we're talking rising energy coming up next. Let's see. No, rescue rabbit. Sorry, rescue rabbit secret rare. Let's see if that one's worth anything. It's a cool card. I don't know. Is there any demand for rescue rabbit? Probably not at the moment. As you guys can see, like the things that are doing well are the things that are like in the meta. So last year we were trying to do like old school stuff and it's like that works, but it takes a lot longer. The meta stuff can spike up really quick if there's like a good deck around it. First dead rescue rabbit. This is kind of one of the things that's not really in any sort of meta right now. $20.50, I think we lost on that. Yeah, we lost a little bit, only 80 cents. No big deal. So right, 83 cent loss, 4% overall. Not bad. That's pretty much minimal. That's pretty negligible to be honest. So it's not a big deal. Rising energy is up next. That was the one where we had like a return or something like that. We only have two of these. I think we bought three originally. Is that right? There's only a couple listed though. So I'm interested to see like if there are more listings. At the moment there is a first ed near mint. Whoa, there was the $4 ones we bought. Now they're $13.45. So it looks like we may have bought them out and it's kind of stuck because nobody has these, I guess. So $13.45 from Trollentode. You can see here like the light play first edition like $2, near mint, $7, near mint, first ed six, six. So they're selling. So $13.45. So this one's actually doing pretty good. But because we bought that one for like $14, you know, we're actually not really making much. So $13.45 times two, we made $3.17. Not terrible, we'll take it. All right, next up, the infamous fiber jar. Let's just, if you guys happen to miss the last video, let's just play that clip of when we opened the fiber jar in the package. Service actually looks pretty good, surprisingly. Not real. They did not ride on the car to call it near mint. So the story with the fiber jar, I did get my money back on this. It took forever. First of all, I'll say, hey, there's a star on the back of my card. And they were like, oh, okay, can we send you a replacement? And I was like, sure, why not? Then I'm like, hey, send me the tracking number when you do so I can know that you sent it. I then messaged him a few days later, did you send it? Yeah, we sent it. Okay, where's the tracking number? We didn't send one. So I'm thinking, okay, I don't think they sent it. So I'm like, okay, we'll just send me my money back then because if you're just gonna say you sent it, at this point, I had already heard horror stories of this place. And then I heard about how they say they're gonna send a replacement they don't actually. And it seems like I was right because it's been a couple of months and I have not gotten the card that was sent as a replacement before I asked for the refund. So they definitely didn't send that because I got the first card. I didn't get the replacement card. So yeah, it was a disaster. I did finally get my money back after messaging like 20 times and I didn't get another fiber jar. We're just gonna pretend like I have a fiber jar because these people, we had a fiber jar, okay? And then this happened. I do have my own fiber jar. We can just throw that in there. I bought my own fiber jar for $29.99 to replace it. So now let's check and see if we made any money on this thing. Fiber jar, let's see, first edition. So the unlimiteds are not too much. First at, oh look, card game Colosseum, $29.99. The exact same price. This one's $29.22, but it also has shipping. So it's about the same. $29.99, exactly what we paid. This is the first one that is the exact same price. We made no money. All we did was have a huge hassle and make some cool videos and hilarious reactions out of it. Okay, now we got rare droll and Lockbird. I don't know how this is gonna do to be honest. A rare droll, okay? There's a lot of drolls out there at this point. And also this is kind of a newer one as the rare but we'll have to see where's the rare. I think it was the tactical masters rare, right? Okay, so this one's kind of gone up and down, up and down and you're meant 74 cents, not good. That is not gonna make us money. So, oh wait, we only paid less than 50 cents for these. Wait, we did make money. Now it's 222, we actually went up 59%. That's actually a crazy increase in terms of percentage. Only 82 cents overall. So negligible in terms of the actual money, but the percentages is pretty crazy. So I guess when tactical masters is now not so easily accessible, it's harder to get your hands on those rares and they're actually going up. That seems like that was a good choice. And now the meme purchase. This is the gate guardian from Simply Unlucky, not just the gate guardian, 23 gate guardians. Now we find out if Maze of Memories helped us at all because you don't even play this gate guardian unfortunately. If you did play this gate guardian, this would probably would have spiked, but you don't play it. So maybe this reminded some people, hey, I want a gate guardian. Let's get a cool secret rare. Let's hope so, let's see. All right, speed dual paradox midterm. What are they worth? Oh no, they tanked big time. Oh, 333, no, not like this. Top cart shop has 198 listed. Oh my gosh. Oh, we lost 24% of our money. Oh, not like this. If you included like the shipping though, cause like, so it's like kind of, you know, I don't really know if I should include the shipping cause some of them I do, some of them I don't. It just depends on what the first listing is. This guy has like this shipping and then, well I guess actually everyone else has a shipping. So if there was like one that included shipping right next to it, then maybe a, yeah, so I think this is the right price to do it at, three, whatever. So we lost 24 bucks and 24% of our money. Very, you know, consistent numbers there. And whatever, we knew that, we knew that was a meme purchase anyway. Let's go to the battle fader. Let's see how that one's doing. Ultimate, we are unlimited. 30, okay, it's got shipping. That's not verified. 34.98, so 34. Oh yeah, look at that. We went up $4.98, 17% increase. That's not bad. We'll take that. Very solid before we head into the Picanha moth, which is about 14 of. If you guys remember these ones, none of them were in Nierman basically. Let's see, unlimited Picanha moth. Let's see, come on, metal raiders. All right, Nierman unlimited 50 cents. Wait, is that an increase? 50 times 14. No, it's not. Okay, we lost money on the Picanha moths, unfortunately. Okay, so I fixed these bottom numbers. We gained $252.80. Basically, all the work was put in by Traptor Trappell Nightmare Night Beam. It looks like basically those two, I mean, really Night Beam only made 28 bucks. So it was the Traptor Trappell Nightmare at $246 that really carried us through some of the losses. Like we lost 22 bucks on the Instifusion, 24 bucks on the Gay Guardians. We lost a couple bucks on other things, but really that $246 increase, I mean, it's almost the entire profit that we made. But if you take that out, we still made six bucks. So we actually did pretty well in everything else too. It was pretty consistent. And that just like really like shot us above the moon and a 25% total increase on our money, which is pretty awesome. So this is probably the most successful check-in we've had. I want you guys to let me know, am I allowed to sell the Traptor Trappell Nightmares and stuff like that? Like if I think it's at like a P, because I think right now, if you're buying a Traptor Trappell Nightmare, it's probably the most expensive it's gonna get unless Traptor Trappell becomes like literally an amazing deck, like somebody wins like the YCS, then it might go up more. This was a fun check-in video. It's more fun when you have a lot more cards. I kinda like that we have 78 different cards here so I can go through and like check in on a bunch of different prices. Like last year it was like eight things. It took like five minutes. So it was not as interesting. So this was a lot of fun.
