1) Soldat du Lustre Noir (stainless steel)

To start this guide, we have the Soldier of the Black Chandelier (stainless steel), from its English name "Black Luster Soldier (Stainless Steel)".

The value of this card is estimated at 10 million dollars You're probably wondering what justifies such a staggering price. Well, you should know that there is two reasons to this:

In fact, the original cardholder would have sold it to a collector in exchange for 10 million dollarswhich explains its estimated price.

2) Ultimate Blue-Eyed Dragon (T3-01)

If the Blue-Eyed White Dragon is the card the most iconic by Yu Gi Oh, the Ultimate Blue-Eyed Dragon (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon) T3-01 stands out for being one of the most expensive.

As you can see, this is not just any copy of The Ultimate Blue-Eyed Dragon. In fact, we are talking about the T3-01whose value is between 300,000 and $400,000 ! There are several reasons for this price:

• Originally, it was only possible to obtain than by winning the Asian championships in 2001.
• She has resurfaces at Card Shop Sprial in Japanthen offered for 45 million yen, or $400,000.

Here, as you may have guessed, it's the signature of Kazuki Takashi which justifies such an exorbitant price. It must be said, he is the creator of the saga!

Not to mention the possibility of obtaining through a tournament at first, then the colossal financial resources to mobilize when it reappeared in a Japanese shop.

3) Tyler the Great Warrior

On his side, Tyler the Great Warrior (Tyler The Great Warrior in English) has sentimental value. as rich as its monetary value, because the story behind this card is so special.

In fact, this card was designed by a child named Tyler, who was suffering from cancer at the time. It was through the Make-A-Wish Foundation that the boy was able to design your own Yu-Gi-Oh card in 2002. The card now has a value of over $300,000 for the following reasons:

• This card is exclusive, printed in a single copy especially for Tyler.
• Its acquisition could not be completed when Tyler beat cancer in 2023, and that he decided to sell by auction.
• To acquire Tyler the Great Warrior, it was necessary to pay a sum of over $300,000.

That's the whole context behind the creation of this the world's only map which assigns it this monetary value.

But as you will have understood, the subject goes far beyond all that. It is a map that represents the victory of life over tragedymaking it priceless.

4) Tyr, the Victorious Warlord (WCPS-EN801)

The map Tyr, the Victorious Warlord WCPS-FR801 (Tyr, The Vanquishing Warlord in English) takes the eponymous figure from the Nordic mythology. The god of single combat, victory and heroic glory is also synonymous with monetary glory in YuGiOh!

The market value of this card varies. While its last recorded evaluation mentions 198,888 dollarsits current value would be around $300,000. On eBay, the card is currently offered at 219,999 dollarsWhat explains this price?

5) Dark Legendary Wizard (2012-EN002)

To conclude this guide, we have the Dark Legendary Wizard 2012-EN002 (Legendary Magician of Dark).

This Yu-Gi-Oh card is the cheapest on the list. As you can see, his current value is estimated 75,999 dollars. It's a lot of money, but relatively low compared with the other cards we've mentioned. Its price is justified by the following fact:

• It was not available what about winning the tenth World Championship of YuGiOh, which took place in 2010.

It is only ten years laterin 2020, that the cardholder (i.e. the tournament winner) has decided to to market it.

On this occasion, we were able to attend to the transaction of the latter, which amounted to 75,999 dollars, hence the origin of its estimated value.
