What is the most expensive trading card? This is the billion dollar history of trading cards, from Baseball Cards to Pokemon to Yu-Gi-Oh. It's time to D-D-D-Duel. - Komedie
A grown man stole some of my rare Yugioh cards when I was at a Yugioh tournament at Toys R Us when I was a kid. But the joke was on him because they were fake and I was cheating.
XD The fuuuuuuu
Still mad at the broke kid at boy scouts that stole my slifer the sky dragon. Sure it was a legitimate Japanese fake, written in Japanese so our 12yr brains couldn't comprehend, but this was a honest street duel in our schools gymnasium while their moms were outside smoking meth together. I don't regret sending him to the shadow realm.
Man I had a friend who I found out stole when going to trades and gatherings. He had the nerve to steal something and trade to someone else same day and boom was in the clear after that. I was like man that's so fcked up
This had to potential to break my heart, but you did a pro move and made me laugh instead
@@kevincarrigan2798 literally the same thing for me but it was my own damn cousin. Called him out too and he already admitted to pawning my cards off to his friend. He never suffered the consequences.
Kaiba: That's an impressive card, Yugi, but it's nothing compared to my BLUE EYES WHITE MEOWTH!
that legit made me laugh a lot
@@OrdinaryThings I summon in face up defense position XD
I use pot of greed. Then i use another pot of greed. And another.
i tap 2 islands casting counterspell in response putting me with one card left in hand. uno.
There's a typo there. The actual name of the card is BLUE EYES WHITE LOTUS MEOWTH.
Some interesting Yugioh facts this video didn't cover:
1. The reason the series was so obsessed with Ancient Egypt is because in real life, some of the oldest war/board games on earth were found in Egypt.
2. The Yugioh card game was created as a literal ripoff of Magic: The Gathering because the manga author couldn't use it for his story.
3. The original manga actually featured the card game only sparsely. The manga's title was "King of Games" and was meant to be a protagonist who was fantastic at every game. But guess which game was most marketable?
Yeah the Yugioh manga is pretty great just for the sheer absurdity of Yami's games and the Kaiba bros murderous insanity prior to Duelist Kingdom. Really hate that the core of the story was abandoned for a card game yet I kept reading/watching it :/
@Chidori457 They have this thing called "Goat Format" that lets you play the game it used to be.
I wonder what would happen if we lived in an alternate timeline where instead of Duel Monsters, CapuMon became the franchise Konami wanted to bring to life.
@@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit I'm still sad about the fact that Dungeon Dice Monsters never took off. It was quite fun to play.
I remember the yugioh manga had a dnd chapter
Hitmonchan is Groot after watching the entire Rocky trilogy.
this made me lol
@@OrdinaryThings Thank you very much.
@@OrdinaryThings You're welcome.
There's more than 3 Rocky films though...
Yeah, but to be fair after Rocky III the term "film" becomes more....debatable
I'd imagine Black Lotus cards are also banned from tournaments due to the fact that walking around a convention centre with essentially a cheque for $150k+ in your pocket is probably not the smartest idea.
No it was banned because it was an incredibly broken card from when the game was new enough that they would print something so broken without realizing it. The price was high when it was legal, but it became astronomical after it was no longer usable, ironically.
It's one specific edition of the lotus that's worth that much, too. They're all expensive, but not quite that expensive.
Well, technically it's still tournament legal, but only in vintage.
@@darkdave1998 Well, yeah true. But vintage is pay to win (well, even more so than the current rule list). I fell out of Magik years ago, does the vintage format have any real tournament support? Because when I played a few tournaments like 15 years ago I never even saw a vintage tournament advertised (could be a regional thing, 10th Planet in the Chicagoland area is where I competed).
@@VaporeonEnjoyer1 Vintage only really gets play on MTGO: the old, clunky but still supported online version of the game. Paper Vintage is probably either dead or hyper regionalized
I cried when I saw the blood on the meowth card, it's lost all of its value now.
blood only makes meowth stronger. he secretly evolves into satanic meowth
@@OrdinaryThings Is that bearded Meowth from the new games then?
@@MrFutago87 Purrserker? Considering it's a Viking cat, I'd have to agree. As long as the blood is from Christian Monks who can't fight back.
@@OrdinaryThings Satanic meowth also known as Adrenochromeowth
@@OrdinaryThings Does it share the stats of a Persian?
I wonder sometimes what it would be like to grow up in a culture designed to guide your development as a human being, instead of exploiting it.
Look up socialist countries, Nazi Germany and USSR should be enough.
@@alexeysaranchev6118 Nazi Germany was completely profit oriented like any other capitalist country, however even capitalist nations weren’t built around exploiting the minds and attention of children until around the 80’s with the dawn of neo-liberalism, old fashioned capitalism just exploits the bodies of children
Cuba is probably the closest example of that you'll get. I wish more cultures were not profit oriented :(
@@jeffreylaporte6525 "culture designed to guide your development as a human being". Nazi Germany or USSR are great examples of a country-wise cultural and moral upbringing, where an individual's life is guided using an ideology toward a certain goal. We won't argue about whether you agree with their morals or not, it's not the question.
@@alexeysaranchev6118 USSR exploited labor and fear.
I was at a campout as a kid and one of my friends said he stopped playing Pokemon and gave me his holographic Charizard. I had nowhere to put it so I stuck it in my pocket, forgot about it, and promptly jumped into a lake. I still think about it to this day, and that was like 20 years ago.
Dude your density of jokes and throwing shade per phrase is so high, it's awesome lol
ah thanks so much!

"Analog loot-crates."
This is so ridiculously accurate, holy shit.
It's why I've never really purchased packs. If I was making a deck, I'd just buy singles online.
@@collinsellers4825 well sure, NOW thats easy AF. Then tho...
Aw yeah, cardboard crack!
@@collinsellers4825 Before the mid 2000's, many of us didn't have internet and many websites weren't selling singles.
i mean what else do we call them after loot boxes have been called "digital card packs" for so long
I remember that in Poland between 2014 and 2015 (at least in my school) we had this football player card craze, there were these cards with football players on them. You couldn't even play with them, there was no game, yet my entire school had tons of them, and my classmates would constantly get in trouble for trading them during lessons.
We had the same thing in Finland in the early 2000s with ice hockey cards. I always prefered Pokemon cards though
Same here, I also live in Poland and we also had a football cards craze. Some people owned a few albums of them.
Damn getting one of those black lotus cards is like getting a reservation at dorsia
Walking down to the newsagents, buying a pack of pokemon cards, and finding a shiny inside. That was a perfect day for 11 year old me. Thanks for the nostalgia blast.
Also, shout out to my boy Diglett. A true veteran of the game.

One year during my birthday party, I got some Pokemon card packs and managed to unwrap a Charizard. I was so excited and I showed it off to all of my friends at the party.
By the time the party was over, someone had stolen it.
that is all too real. I feel like that was one of the most stolen items by under 12s ever
Ya, my friend stole mine too. He admitted it years later.
@@GameFaceUMS you know what to do.
@@Francois_Dupont 12:33
I'm sorry I stole your card :(
Hitmonchan's face is supposed to be shaped like a hand, as with hitmonlee's weird foot body. It's the combat they specialise at respectively.
I had an entire binder filled to the brim with pokemon cards, 600+ easy, including a rare version of charzard and ninetails that I never took out of the binder and played with despite being like 8 when I got them. Then one day, when I was about 13, my older sister invited a group of people over, some of which played card games. I showed them the binder, and wouldn't you know it, the very next day when I go to look for the binder it's missing. Never got my cards back or found out which of them did it. Over a decade later and I'm still mad.

“Watch our for oil tankers, one drove me off the highway and forced me to stop then filled up my gas tank, thermos, coffee, cup holder and pen with gas and at the end he handed me 50 quid. Dangerous people.”
Very much depends on the card and quality
I won a MTG junior super series with a 1000 dollar college scholarship when I was 16 and still play from time to time. Those were some of the best times of my childhood!
Ironically, Digimon came before Pokemon in Japan, and was originally just a sequel to Tamagotchi, made by the same people, since it used to be a Virtual-Pet.
Yeah pokemon really did digimon dirty lol. Also was it just in the UK that the trend was that digimon was 'for girls'? Which really just made unappealing to both boys and girls lmao
Thanks for this, as a tamagotchi/digimon/general vpet fan I always hate when that gets thrown around. it's just similar names, people!!
No it didn't. Pokemon was released on Febuary 1996 in Japan. Tamagotchi was released on November 1996 in Japan. Digimon was released in 1997 in Japan.
You’re completely wrong, digimon did not predate Pokemon. Also the digimon that were a follow up to tomagatchi had no lore associated with them like the show where Red and Green had the story laid out which inspired the Pokémon show.
This is wrong and so is the UK 'only for girls' thing. Crusty just went to an especially weird school.
I love this guy! His blend of facts I can rely on and British humor makes my day.

I can't eat kraft mac and cheese anymore. I used to love it but now it tastes like hot garbage and I feel sick after eating it. Besides, Spongebob shapes are basically the same thing.
I saw that and it felt like a shot of nostalgia straight to my bones
It’s Christmas, I got some MTG cards, saw this in my recommendations while unboxing them, and am still happy.
11:50 - oh boy how that statement has aged
I went to the continental yu gi oh championship for South America in Chile last year. As an outsider, only there as moral support because my best friend was playing, I gotta admit, it's a strange dynamic. Everything, from the little dice they give as a gift to those who sign up, to the collectible equivalents to pins and keychaings you get at motor shows, everything has a price. They even go as far as to sneak a handful of golden plastic dice into the bin full of blue ones, and if you get it, it's like 100x more valuable or something.

God Yu-Gi-Oh is actually such a fun game. I have so many great memories of playing with my brothers. And the anime rocked. So campy and dramatic!!!

When I was 12-14 I literally ran a business online buying and selling Yugioh cards on forums. My computer desk literally had a drawer full of patted envelopes, and plastic card holders, and I kept an invoice book. Those were the days lol.
Literally?
Yeah, my coworker still makes quite a bit of money by doing the same. He's doing it on the side while working ^^
"When I was 12-14 my parents were wealthy*"
@@99Plastics Quite the contrary, I was living with a drugged out stepparent that could barely keep the lights on and was mostly reasonable for making sure I had my own food and such - hence the running a side hustle for money instead of getting to be a normal teen lol.
When I went to college my mom threw away all my pokemon cards ;-;
My mom does the same shit. She has zero concept of being sentimental and will throw away anything that doesn't have a practical use or isn't obviously worth money and acts confused when I get mad that something I was saving was gone. She says I am going to be a hoarder when all I wanted was my Atari 2600 and Legos. Thank god I saved the Bionicles...
My dad says that when he first moved in with my mom he came home from work one day and found his yearbook and bunch of boxes of keepsakes next to the trash.
I was helping her move and she wanted to throw out a large portrait photo of her grandmother as a little girl... wtf mom that is a 130 year old photo!
@@SpencerLemay I feel you both bros, my problem is with my grandma when I was younger she throw my NES with my super mario 2 & 3, terminator, and my others games to the trash...and later manage to convince me to throw my all collection of Yugioh by pressuring me....because they were "satanic"
@@SpencerLemay maybe your mum is autistic. It's harder to detect in women than men

I remember my school banned Pokemon cards. It was probably for the best. No one ever actually "duelled," they were really just for showing off.
We tried to play one time in my school and thought the game was ass, although we developed an intricate black market of shiny cards that could easily give every crime organization a run for their money
@@giacomopiccinini9157 I remember in my school we made an abridged version of battling that was way more simplistic, where like the game we have six cards each and flip a coin for who goes first then just trade attacks back and forth till one makes the others entire team faint. That’s still how I play the game with my roommate lol.
My school banned it because it had Wizards of the Coast on the package and wizards are “the devil in disguise”
@@Machamp-ps7wx we did the same

I remember going to a card-shop in the mall when I was 12 or 13 and the guy there gave the exact speech you (almost) did in the last minute of the video, he even tore one of those 81 billion baseball cards in half to prove his point that ultimately everything is only worth the value we ascribe to it (or really, to get my dad to buy me more pokemon fossil packs)
During the baseball card craze in the States their was a hockey card craze that had a similar crash in Canada.
Magic is pretty much the reason I did not kill myself. Suffering mental and physical bullying from about the 3 grade all the way trough high school. Magic (and some Pokemon) was an escape from reality that forced you to meet other people to enjoy it. Heck even the bullies would accept you to play if there was a lack of players.
that's rad man. was fun to see how much these games meant to people (hope that gags are all taken in good fun)
@@OrdinaryThings Not to worry. This industry and community needs a good wedgie and you bought your A-game
Same, actually. It was something to get invested. Looking up lore, searching the wikia, brewing some decks, waiting for new set spoilers, attending pre-releases. It's really a fun escape for a lot of people.
Plus it was a fun way to absolutely dominate and embarass shitheads who were stronger than us.
Good for you, friend, honestly I am supremely jealous. I have yet to find a hobby that wasn't eventually riddled with stupid drama that ended up driving me back into hermitdom (including crocheting, ffs orz). While I never had the issue of bullying or being 'good' enough to be a target of the actual drama, it is immensely draining to witness. Find what you like, wring every last drop of enjoyment from it, and never, NEVER get into the actual fandom.
I’m surprised you didn’t bring up the Pokémon Illustrator card, that’s “The Card” in Pokemon, worth 100K
Imagine someone pulling out an actual 150,000 dollar card to whoop your ass in a card game

What a banger this one was. Well worth the wait. If I may share a personal story, I was born in 1988. I know, very abrupt story.
Anyway, when Pokémon cards came out, I bought my first pack as a kid in the mall 30 minutes from my town. I opened it, and near the end of the pack, was a first edition, holographic blastoise. I had no idea what I had opened. But it sent me on a lifelong addiction to, as you put it, analog loot boxes. I’ve recently quit mobile games a few years ago, as I was dumping large sums into them a month.
It’s important to be aware if you had a problem, but it’s also important to enjoy these mediums we love in a healthy and balanced manner.
Dont tell me you accidentaly dumped water on the holo blastoise
I read a story someone posted on Reddit about how he is a married, 30 something year old with kids and how he went into crazy debt over a mobile game. It was a sobering read. Thanks for talking about it. 🖤
I had a very solid Pokémon collection in the 90s. They got wet when camping one day. All ruined. I consider it my contribution to the super dumb price bubble raging on eBay.
@@joshjacobson9846 man, what a bummer! Sounds like something many of us could have gone through. Did you give up the hobby at that point?
@@alexschittenden yeah! I collected games for a few decades though and have sold the vast majority the last two years for about 10x what I paid
11:56 time before NFTs
I had a Charizard once as part of a deck, it was given to me by my stepdad. Unfortunately, since nobody played pokemon cards in our area, I never figured out how valuable it was, I think it was a pretty powerful deck. I even had a Meowth as well, but I never thought that card was valuable either. So I just stashed the deck in my lower cabinet, eventually being lost to the floods brought about by the typhoons during the monsoon season..
5:36 This has now become the official way to say "planeswalkers"
Got somewhat into "Magic: The Gathering" when it first showed up because I'm a huge tabletop gaming nerd and it made such a massive impact on that scene.
I couldn't keep up with the hobby, though. It was either buy booster packs or pay rent & eat.
And it was no good trying to play casually if you couldn't afford the latest & greatest cards. I would walk in with my meager little box of cards and come up against guys with literal rolling suitcases full of cards.
Also,the social aspect suffered. I always seemed to find myself up against guys who LIVED for M:TG. There's no other way to put it. They were like those chess masters who see ten moves ahead and if you took "too long" contemplating your next play (i.e. two full seconds) they would lose their shit. They weren't there to talk about the latest film or comic book or TV show or whatever. It literally was not a game to them.
And I'm not talking about tournaments or contests. I'm talking casual games at nerdy parties & the like.
Yeah, that's shitty. I keep a box with 6 decks to play with my son or with friends, and they're all fairly balanced. I find the game really enjoyable like that, but as soon as boosters and competitive play are involved, I can't stand it.
That's why I like attending prerelease. It's not about who spent the most, it's who can build a deck that's good enough to beat 4 other decks that are similarly shit. Even if you pull some 50 dollar bomb rare, that's only 1 card in your deck so good luck using it.
You should get a group of friends who agree to play with proxies. And, preferably, that aren't jerks that will just print out a top tournament decklist from the web and instead actually build their own deck. That way y'all can have some quite expensive decks without getting your wallet nuked, and can have lots of fun.
Fuck Wizards of the Coast's intellectual property!

I forgot I had mine. I realized a year ago that I still had "Shining" cards from 1st gen, like "Shining Charizard" "Shining Tyranitar" "Shining Mewtwo" "Shining Leviator" and some with "stars" on them, that I understood to be a more modern "shiny" marker. I sold most of them for 200$+. I kept some by pure nostalgia.

Misplaced all my old Pokémon cards when I moved out to college but started buying some again out of nostalgia and to play a game or two with my roommate when we get bored.

I had a shiny charizard when I was a kid. I traded it for some other useless cards. Although it was probably a Dutch version of it which I suspect isn't as valuable as the English ones.
