What do you have here?
I've got a really cool collection I think
you might be interested in.
"Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Yeah.
So I have an unlimited sealed booster
box, also a glossy first edition booster box.
And then I have the repackaged packs
that you see there in the blisters
and then two of the unlimited blisters.
And then the last thing, the holy grail
of the whole collection, the one in the acrylic case
is the first edition wavy box.
It's dead stock.
You don't see it for sale often.
I played Pokémon.
It's a lot easier.
But I do know the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" players are pretty serious.
Oh, yeah.
I'm here at the pawn shop today to sell my one-of-a-kind
"Yu-Gi-Oh!" collection.
The products themselves are in pretty minty condition.
The wavy box is about as minty as you can get from a case
from back in the day.
I'm looking to get $100,000 today.
It's not something that's ever going to be made again,
and it's just such an iconic set.
Now, this is cool.
"Yu-Gi-Oh!" was originally a Japanese manga, which
is basically a comic book.
It came out in the late '90s.
And it adapted into a card game, video games,
and mini animated series.
So "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is one of the most
popular trading card games.
And this looks like Blue-Eyes White Dragon,
the first set of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" cards
made by the company Konami.
And this one would have been the first printing of it.
And this one would have been the reprinting of it, correct?
Correct.
So basically to play the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" trading card game,
you would take two players.
Each player would create a deck of 60 cards.
Then you would start with Life Points.
And the two players would battle with their cards.
Like I would attack you and try to take some of your Life
Points away until you hit zero, and you
would do the same thing to me.
Basically, the point of the game is for each player
to try to eliminate the other player from battle
by taking all the Life Points.
Sealed stuff like this is very, very collectible right now,
and the trading card market is just going insane.
So how much are you looking to get for everything here?
I'd like to get $100,000.
OK.
That seems a little high to me.
But some of these boxes can be very expensive when you're
talking about first edition.
So I really need to have someone come down,
evaluate the seals of the products,
and talk about the value of the products.
And then I think we could maybe negotiate
on a price from there.
Yeah, I have no problem with that at all.
OK. Let me get someone down here.
It'll be just a few minutes.
OK.
I am looking forward for the expert to come in today.
I feel like my valuation shouldn't be too far off.
So I'm really curious to see what his opinion is about it.
[cash register dinging] - Hey, man.
How you doing? - Hey.
Pretty good, Chum. How you been?
- Pretty good. - Excellent.
So this is what I called you down about.
We have some Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Yeah, this looks like a pretty cool collection, actually.
This stuff is incredibly rare these days.
As it gets more opened, there's less of it.
So overall, this is important stuff.
Maybe you can get into them and tell
me if you think these are all authentically
sealed from Konami.
So first, take a look the hanger pack.
You know, with the packs you really want
to be looking at the crimp.
So you have the crimp right here.
These crimps look absolutely genuine.
There's nothing wrong with these packs.
They're authentic first edition packs.
OK.
And then here we have a sealed unlimited booster box.
What you're looking for on these is the seals.
Basically, you want to look at where
the plastic is joined together.
This wrap looks great.
This is this is very, very convincing.
You know, I think it's completely authentic.
All right.
And here we go, the holy grail of the "Yu-Gi-Oh!"
collecting world.
Yeah.
First edition sealed booster box.
These are incredibly rare.
They very rarely come to market.
I'm amazed to see one in my hands right now, actually.
And I turned it over.
Right away, it makes me feel happy.
There's a flap on the bottom right here.
This flap is important.
Because without that flap, you know it's going to be resealed.
In my mind, this is a legitimate first edition box,
and it's from the first printing.
This is what's called the wavy set, the wavy cards.
It's a genuine item.
So what value can we put on the whole collection?
The ones that are sealed in the hanger
packs, those are probably about $1,000 apiece.
OK.
And the sealed booster box there,
you know, probably $4,000.
This "Yu-Gi-Oh!" box, this first edition box is incredibly
important, obviously.
I'd say the value of that box today is about $35,000.
Looking at it all together, I mean, if I price it out
in my head, I mean, $55,000.
All right, well, I think that answers
everything I need to know. I appreciate you coming down.
Thank you. - My pleasure, Chum.
And good luck with the sale. - Thank you so much.
Yeah. Take care.
All right, well, I do want this stuff,
but I don't know that I can pay that much for it.
I'm just going to try and offer you
$25,000 for this first edition box here and hope you take it.
Oh, man.
I've had multiple offers higher than that,
so there's no way I can go that low.
All right.
Well, it looks like we're not going to make a deal today.
But if you have anything else that you want to bring by,
I would love to take a look at it.
- Sounds good. - All right, have a good day.
Thank you. - Thank you.
It's obviously a lot less than what I was wanting today.
This is something from my childhood watching the show,
so it's really hard to let go of something
that you care about a lot.
