 In today's video, we're taking a look at my top 10 rarest and most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh cards. What's up, guys? We're back with another top 10 rarest and most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh card video. We've done this several times over the last few years. Last time I did it was early 2023, so it's been about a year. There's been a lot of changes in the Yu-Gi-Oh market since then. Back in 2023, everything was down. I think it's down even more since then. So we're going to look and see what I still have from those previous top 10s, the top 25s. You know, what the prices are looking at right now. And how where are these cards still? We're going to take a look at all the pop reports and everything. But before we get into it, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away this original print Red-Eyes Black Dragon. All you have to do is like the video, be subscribed to our notifications. Let me know down below favorite card in the top 10 and your rarest and most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh card. Or maybe it could be a different card. It could be Pokemon, whatever it is. All right. Before we crack the top 10, I actually kind of made this like a top 16 because I have six honorable mentions of nice cards. We've done top 25 before. I cut this down to top 10, but then I had a few that I wanted to show. So we're going to show those as well. So our first one is the PSA 10 Summon Skull. This is a pop 139. So that means there's 139. Jim meant 10 first edition Summon Skulls from Metal Raiders. And that means it has to be that specific version. So I can be like Euro version or anything like that. The first edition North American Summon Skull from Metal Raiders. There's 139 of them. This one recently sold for $1,417. This is all like eBay stuff. That is much cheaper than it used to be. Obviously it was up to almost a $5,000 card at one point. I did grade this one myself. I previously had another one I traded for. But when I graded this one, I sold that other one to TCA Gaming actually. So this is the one I have now because I graded it myself. I actually pulled this one. So you get a little bit more of a connection with it than the previous one that I traded for. I just love showing this card because it's a beautiful, awesome looking card. $1,400 is still nothing to like snuff your nose at. It's still pretty nice. The next card is the only PSA 9 in this video. And that is the Blue Eyes Shining Dragon. So it didn't make the top 10 because if it was a 10, it probably would have. But being a PSA 9 makes it a lot cheaper. But the raw card is still really expensive for the Blue Eyes Shining Dragon. The original print of the Blue Eyes Shining Dragon, if you're watching this, you're not a normal viewer of the channel, is from the movie. So you might think, oh, I had that one. The movie is a different print than this. The movie was widely distributed because obviously you just went to the movie and got it. This is a reprint of the card, but it was in secret rare. It was really hard to pull from RetroPak 2. So it's actually much more valuable than that movie version. The 9 is a Pop 61. I think the 10 is only a Pop 30. So it's pretty hard to get a PSA 10 of this card. Unfortunately, I didn't get a PSA 10. But this 9 still sold for not this specific one, but a 9 sold for $1,600 as a PSA 9, which is, and then this market absolutely absurd. And that was in like December, so it hasn't been that long. Then speaking of RetroPak 2, we have another one that we did pull and we did get lucky enough to get the 10 on the second try because they got the 9 the first time. Harpy's Pet Dragon. I pulled this one in an amazing moment. And if you guys remember that massive video where we pulled this, this Harpy's Pet Dragon was an amazing pull during that. I think it was the 200k special and then we were able to grade a PSA 10. This one has no sales, but I had to guesstimate. So like there's a PSA 9 sale for $475. So that should put a PSA 10 around $1,500 to $2,000 somewhere in there. And since it is only a Pop 10, there's not many of these. I mean, a pretty rare PSA 10 actually. I'm guessing the price is pretty high for someone if they actually want it. So maybe it could even be in the Top 10, but it's hard to really know for sure unless there's an actual sale. All right. Next honorable mention is one we have to show the Blue Eyes Tune Dragon. Everybody loves Blue Eyes Tune Dragon. I pulled this one back in 2019. I think I think it was 2019. It was a $300 card at the time, graded it PSA 10. It might have only been it. Wait, I think it was a $300 10. I graded it and got a PSA 10. It was then worth $300 like before a grade and goes not 300 bucks. So crazy times back then even now with like the lower prices, which right now this one has sold for a $1,825 for a PSA 10. It is also a Pop 214. So there are quite a few Blue Eyes Tune Dragons out there because Magic Ruler is not extremely rare compared to some of the other ones, though it is still a very popular set. This is still much, much more expensive than it was back in 2018-19, but not as expensive as it was during the boom was like $4,000. So very amazing card had to show it because it's just Blue Eyes Tune. It's awesome. Couple more honorable mentions. We have the Dark Paladin First Edition from Magician's Force. This is technically the error artwork because it was not supposed to be in Magician's Force. It was supposed to be the standing up version. We can show it on the screen that there also was a first-edversion, but you had to send this copy into Konami and they would send you back the correct copy, but this was in all like the boxes and everything. So kind of a major error when you swap all the cards for the wrong card, but still an amazing looking card even though it wasn't intended and that kind of makes it cooler. A PSA 10 of this card recently sold for $2,000 and is also a Pop 102. So 102 is kind of a lot, but also not really like when you think about it. 102 total copies is not that crazy. It's more than some of the cards you'll see, but it's also significantly less than some of the others. And our final honorable mention, the Black Luster Soldier Envoy at the beginning. This is a card that I always feel like is too cheap for how hard it is getting Magician of Chaos. And the Pop is not crazy. This is a Pop 58, which is pretty low for a core set. Usually it's in the hundreds at least. So Pop 58 is pretty amazing and there hasn't been a sale since like mid-2023. That was $2,000. There's one listed for $29.50 right now. So it's probably worth, you know, $1,800, maybe $2,000, something like that. But an amazing looking card either way. This is one I got in a trade. I did not pull it. One of the few here actually, I mean, I guess these two are the two I haven't pulled, but wow, we've pulled a lot of nice cards over the years. We might need to do a compilation of our best pulls because we do those by year. We haven't really done them of the whole channel in a long time. So let me know in the comments if you want to see that. All right. We're finally onto the top 10. We have the Elements of a Hero, Flame Wingman, one that I also pulled. Got a nine, regraded it to 10 like two years later. Got this out of a booster box of the Lost Millennium Hobby Box, Jim Minton. This is a pop 38, which sounds extremely low, but you have to factor in that PSA did not differentiate ultimate rares and ultra rares for a long time. They only started doing it maybe two, three years ago. It was 2020 or 2021, maybe 2022. I don't remember. It's been a long time. So the 38 is since then there's been 38 graded in ultimate rare, but before that it would be in the ultra rare pop. So if you see the ultra rare pop, a lot of those are ultimate rares from before that. So it's going to be a lot higher than 38 though. That doesn't make it look really nice with the 38. It had a sale for like 3.5 K not that long ago, but there's one available right now on eBay for 2750 basically. So I value this at $2,500, just still pretty expensive for a TLM ultimate rare because they're not like that crazy hard to find. But PSA 10, you really don't know the pop. So maybe they are hard to grade at number nine. We have a TP ultra Royal Decree. So TP ultra is if you don't know tournament pack had three cards per pack, but the ultra rares were one in 108 to pull from these packs. So what you would get is you go to your local, you get a couple packs for playing in the tournament. The total boxes were only 20 packs. So you'd have to have like six or 5.4 boxes worth to actually pull one on average. So super, super rare. And then those, you know, a couple of the fact those are you can't really buy them because they're for tournament packs. And then even then they were super rare because everybody was opening them in their tournament. Somebody's really selling them. So they're super hard to come by. The pops of these cards are really low. This has actually gone up quite a bit since I bought this. When I bought this, it was a pop six. I bought this for 600 bucks. It's now a pop 12. So it's doubled since then and the price has gone way up. I was once offered like four or maybe even five K for this card. And I said, no, which, you know, in retrospect, you should probably have taken it because it's a lot of money. But at the same time, I don't want to sell my TP ultras. There is one available for 3000 on eBay now because I guess there's been a few graded since then. So I haven't valued about 2.5 K, which is, you know, a lot less than five K that I got offered. So if I was dumb for not accepting that, make sure to let me know. At number eight, we have another IOC card, the Invasion of Chaos. Chaos Emperor Dragon. This is another one that I did not pull, same with the Royal Decree really. This card is a pop 71. So it's a little bit higher than Black Cluster Soldier, but still under a hundred these days is still pretty impressive. We went through a Yu-Gi-Oh boom. People are grading everything and to survive at under a hundred still is pretty amazing. There's a PSA 10 listed on eBay right now for 5000. That was pretty much all the info I could find. There hasn't been any sales since like 2022 on eBay or at least that are listed. So I have this around 2.5 to 3K. It could be more honestly. It's just really hard to know. It's a really amazing card. You know, it's a secret. So you're going to get it one every two or three boxes something like that. But I mean, who's opening Invasion of Chaos? A couple of people have done it recently. Me being one of them. I didn't get one. So they're not that easy to get. Then they're not that easy to grade because there's only 71 ever pretty amazing card. I mean classic iconic playable just good stuff. So that one's a pretty solid one. It could be even higher up the list. Maybe if there's a sale soon, we're back to the TP Ultras. We have the magical arm shield, which is very similar to the world to create. This is TP eight. So it's a couple tournament packs later. So maybe I think that was like 2007. Maybe something like that. Not totally sure on that when the TP. No, that would be champion back. I'd be like 2005. So something like 2005 magical arm shield. This one I bought at a PSA or not a PSA of pop six as well. I think now it's at pop eight. So it's gone up only two in like the last three or four years. So this is still, I mean, under 10 copies of this grade at PSA 10 is pretty insane. As I said before, one in 108 super hard to pull. Then you got to actually grade it. You got to actually find all these. And this is one that you just don't see very often a PSA nine sold for 350. So it's not like the most desirable card because you know, magical arm shield, whatever, not that crates and not like blue eyes or something. But when you're trying to get that PSA 10 set so hard to come by, I was also offered like 4000 for this one didn't accept it. I still let's make this one around like 3000. Could even be 4000. I'm not totally sure. I didn't see one listed or anything like with the Royal Decree, but a 4000 is a lot in this market these days. But I did buy this for about 500 to 600 bucks back in the day. I think it was around the same price as the Royal Decree. So still happy with that. We're still doing okay there at number six. We have one of my favorite cards, the Cyber Dark Dragon ultimate rare PSA 10 another card. This is the third card. I've shown you that was a PSA nine. We regret to PSA 10 all the cards that I have regretted so far though, I think are really solid conditions or the 10, but then you had a factor in like, oh, it could have been a nine. It would be a way cheaper. So just keep that in mind. But just value of PSA 10. We're just kind of going with that. The Cyber Dark Dragon ultimate rare is a really awesome one. There's not a lot of sales for this card PSA nine. I think there's a $475 sales, something like that. You never see PSA 10s of this card. The pop is 17, but as I mentioned, the ultimate ultra split wasn't till recently. So it's probably a lot more than 17, but maybe not a lot more because I really never see this card. There's one listed at 5k, but because of the 9s like 500, I'm guessing it's not getting up to 5k. It's usually not 10x for a PSA 10. So I have it estimated at three to 3.5k. It's kind of where I've had it for a long time. And I haven't seen any reason to change that. And it's just kind of, it's kind of a weird one. You don't really see a lot of them. Kind of the case with a lot of these rare and expensive cards is when there's not many for sale, it's hard to really price them. On to the top five. We have Jinzo, first edition from Pharaoh's servant. This is amazing one. This one was up to absurd prices like, I mean like 10, 12,000 at one point. This card is a pop 92. I remember it being in the 50s. So it's a lot have been graded since then. Not the absolute hardest card to grade. But though it is not the easiest, I'm still under a hundred and there's a lot of Jinzo's out there. So it's done pretty well, you know, being fairly rare. There's been a recent sale for 3,500. So that made this pretty easy. There's also one listed for 3,600. So I feel pretty good at being about 3,500. Something like that. Secret rare. I did pull this one back in the day. One of my favorite pulls of all time back when my audio is horrible, my video is horrible. It was good times though. And that one did get a 10 on the first try. At number four, we have one I recently traded for. I traded a Jinzo actually. I had another Jinzo I graded and I traded it with a friend of mine, Gezi TCG for this Exodia, the Forbidden One. This is a glossy first edition Exodia head. So it's not wavy, wavy and glossy. There's a difference on the card stock wavy. Usually a little bit more expensive. This is a glossy version. So Jim Menten first edition, the pop for Exodia is actually pretty intrigued to see it's at 98. It's actually not at a hundred. So with, you know, LLB first, everybody wants to grade everything, even if it's like a PSA four. So you would think there'd be a lot of these, but not that many actually a 98. This is such a beautiful card, iconic Yu-Gi-Oh card. One of my favorite that I own. Unfortunately, I didn't pull this one. I have pulled one before it had a Nick in it. Rhyme style and I pulled it together. Fortunately, I didn't grade that one, but I was able to acquire this one in a trade. And Exodia head has sold recently. It was glossy as well. So pretty good comp for $4,119.69. So a little meme there, but pretty expensive card. I think I traded at a value of 5,000. So it's gone down a little bit since then, but one of my favorite cards, especially one that I have not pulled. I want to get that full set at some point. I have two pieces, three to go. Top three, we get to another one of my absolute favorite cards. This is one that I didn't pull. I bought, but I did grade it myself. The SM51 Spell of Mask Ultimate Rare Blue Eyes. So this is a pretty unique card and that is a Japanese card. I'm not exactly sure how this works, but the background color actually factors in how rare the card is. Sometimes if it's more purple, I think the purple is less rare. The blue is more rare. That's what I heard. It's a Japanese card. I don't know them as well as I know English cards, but it's beautiful nonetheless. I mean, just check it out. It looks absolutely amazing. Now, the pop for this one might shock you. You might think, wow, that seems like a rare card, huh? There's probably not many of them. The pop for this is 444. So there are a bunch of these out there and they might not all be the blue background, the purple background, but they are, you know, to Spell of Mask Ultimate Rare Blue Eyes. So they are out there and it's kind of surprising how expensive they are. There is, there is some post where some guy posted where he had like 200 of them. So one guy has like half the pop. So keep that in mind. The rest of us plebeians only have 200, so it makes it more normal. So if that guy ever starts selling, the price is probably going to crash down on this card. But I have personally been offered like 4,200. There's also been a sale at around that was $4,120. I think that's what it was based on. So there is some sales, some interest, stuff like that. But I personally like this card so much. I don't think I'm going to get rid of it. I didn't pull it. Usually if I didn't pull it, sometimes I might sell it. But this one is, it's just pretty amazing. I got to hang on to it. So that's my top three card right now. But yeah, if that guy goes crazy with his 200 copies in Japan or wherever he is, that might be worth, you know, 2,000 soon. All right, two cards left. We have one of the most iconic cards from the channel. We've shown it many, many times. The Morphing Jar TP2 PSA 10. This is one that did not get regraded a nine to a 10. But honestly, this is one of my luckiest grades ever. So the story with this card, first of all, it's a pop 33, which when I got it was a pop 21. Pop 33 is still pretty low. It's the highest of the TP Ultras though, I believe. So the other ones like the magical arm shields at eight or a decrease at 12. I think mech chaser could be higher. Not totally sure on that one. Needleworm obviously is lower. It's like five or six. This one is 33. So while it is pretty low, it's still high for a TP card. Beautiful looking card. I acquired this in a trade back in 2018 or 19. I remember what year it was. I traded some wavy first ed raw cards. They were like mod play to light play and I got this card raw for $800 value. I then sent it into PSA is like, oh, this looks pretty good. And I was expecting like a nine, got a 10. So I got extremely lucky there because if you guys can look, there is a little bit of edgeware on the top of this card. It's not like the worst ever, but you can see it. So that these days probably knocks it down to a nine. So it's not a super strong 10, but it's been in my collection for a long time and that would knock the value. If I was trying to sell it, I would have a little bit on there. Though I didn't really factor that into this that much. I just kind of went off what I saw. So CGC 10, there's one listed for 5,250. CGC 10 is not going to hold up to a PSA 10 very often, even with their shenanigans of 9.5 to 10s and all this crazy stuff. They're usually still a little bit less kind of like BGS 9.5. So that's kind of what a CGC 10 is from what I've seen. There was also a nine sold for 2K in like 2023. So it's been a while since then. So I'm just estimating on this one at 5.5 to 6K. I think it's still going down. It was at 15K at the peak. So I mean, if I was going to sell, I should have sold then, but I just don't really want to. It just has so much a nostalgic value for me acquiring it. It was a great moment. So I have this at my number two card about 5,500 to 6K. Pretty expensive. If I did sell it, it'd probably go down because of that edge wear right there, but probably not planning on doing that.

It has changed up because we once had Cyber End Dragon, which I sold recently to help me buy a car. I haven't actually bought a car yet, but maybe we'll get there at some point. My Black Rose Dragon I once sold. I think I paid off taxes or something with that, which is a sad way for the Black Rose to go. But if you think about it, it saved me a lot of money. So here we are with our current number one. Another card that I was not expecting to get a PSA-9. Oh, I said earlier, those are only PSA-9. There's two PSA-9s. Here's the other one. We have the Blue Eyes Wide Dragon, a little bit faded, a little bit wavy. First edition, when I graded this card, I got it out of a collection. I thought it was like a seven, maybe an eight. It has like a little dot on the surface right there. And I was like, there's no way that's going to like hold up very well. I was like, this thing's not going to do well. PSA-9, absolutely amazing moment. And then being slightly faded and then being wavy. I mean, that adds a lot of value to a Blue Eyes Wide Dragon. And it's pretty cool that my most expensive cards know a Blue Eyes. I want to get a PSA-10 at some point, tried to pull it for years, never had the luck. This card is a pop 248 PSA-9 and there are 110s, exactly 100 on the dot, which is pretty cool. There's one listed at 6.5K on eBay, but it doesn't look wavy to me. And it's also doesn't have any fade to it. So I think this one would probably hold up over that one if it were to like sell. There's also no really other sales. Like there's been some random ones back like in 2022, early 2023. It's hard to really base those on there. The listed prices are crazy. So I have this estimated like 6.5, maybe 7K, probably 6.5K, could even be 6K, but with the fading, the wavy stuff like that, I think it's about a $6,000 card. So it's a pretty nice card overall, though at the peak, that card was 20K. You know, like the first add PSA-10 was like 100 or whatever, 120. That thing's like, was like 20 for a nine, maybe even more than that. So I didn't get that until later anyway. And I didn't actually pull that one. So hopefully one day I can pull one, get a PSA-10 and I can sell that one too. And I can replace it with that pulled one. So that's it for the top 10. If you guys enjoyed it, make sure to let me know in the comments what you want to see next. Maybe we'll do some other top 10s in the future.
