Hey, can it be the blue eyes white dragon in a dump like this? It is the card I've been searching for.
This is ashley with watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 most expensive yu-gi-oh cards.
Now I activate a magic card known as gold sarcophagus mechanical chaser and ground attacker, barbara, more machine cards for this list.
We're going to be looking at some of the most priceless and expensive cards to emig from the yu-gi-oh trading card game, we'll be considering the estimated value of cards based on their rarity appraisal rating, as well as current asking prices of cards featured on ebay, which one-of-a-kind priceless card.
Do you think, deserves a spot on this list.
Let us know in the comments and as always, you can catch me on twitter at jbow, so head over.
There give me a follow and let me know which yu-gi-oh list you want to see next number 10 schooner the leonine rakon when it comes to priceless yugioh guards.
Schooner is just the tip of the iceberg.
This one is very, very hard to find and expensive item.
Indeed, it's I think, there's only six of this in the world.
Unlike most cards, you can find in circulation this ultra rare original print.
Beast warrior was one of the exclusive prize cards of the 2009 world championship.
As a result, only six copies of this card are thought to exist, making it pretty unlikely to find for sale online, which only further adds to its rarity originally valued at six thousand dollars.
The price of this card has shifted over the last decade.
In 2018, its value was estimated to be around 7 500, while it can't be used in official duels, it's still a unique card worthy of any collection, but the second prize has not been printed before.
So this one is still priceless: number nine blue eyes, white dragon as one of the most powerful and iconic monsters in the franchise, most blue eyes, white dragon cards, but with so much that only someone like kyber can afford them.
Hey.
Can it be the blue eyes white dragon in a dump like this? It is the card I've been searching for in 2017, twitter user at night, miyabi sold four secret, rare, japanese blue eyes, white dragons to pay for his daughter's education with each one being worth more than five thousand dollars.
Another rare type of blue eyes are those from the 2002 dark duel stories, valued on average, between ten thousand dollars to twenty thousand dollars.
However, the crown jewel of blue eyes are the first edition from the 2002 legend of blue eyes, which have fetched asking prices of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I summoned blue eyes white dragon in may of this year.
One of these bad boys sold for more than 55 000 on ebay guys.
This is the grail right here.
This is kaiba himself number eight mechanical chaser.
It may not look like much, but back in the day, mechanical chaser was considered one of the best four-star attackers.
One card in particular embodies the very essence of power creep.
Mechanical chaser, while most versions of mechanical chaser are pretty common, pulling the right copy can earn you thousands of dollars in the first season tournament pack, it's possible to pull an ultra rare version of mechanical chaser.
Oh mechanical chaser, no way 108 packs, and I got it a card which many collectors consider to be extremely valuable for most lucky enough to find it a mint condition.
Mechanical chaser's value can reach up to 20 000.
Most recently, this card was sold on ebay for more than ten thousand dollars, not bad for a car that was only summoned once in the anime number 7 gold sarcophagus, essentially the yu-gi-oh equivalent to the arc of the covenant.
The gold sarcophagus spell card is a one-of-a-kind artifact used by yugi to defeat the pharaoh in the anime.
The real-life version of this card may have a different effect, but it's still a game.
Changer.
Now I activate a magic card known as gold sarcophagus among all the different versions of this card.
There are two that stand out the most, the first being the promo card from the 2007 pharaoh tour, which reached an asking price of nearly 26 000 on ebay.
Then there is the shonen jump championship series version which recently sold on ebay for more than fourteen thousand dollars in june 2021 number six cyberstein, its ability may cost players more than an arm and a leg, but for the most loyal collectors, the right cyberstein is worth any price.
A bgs 8.5 near mint to mint near mint to mint cyberstein.
The most coveted version of this card is the one awarded to winners of the 2004 shonen jump championship even with a psa rating of 8.
This card is worth at least several thousand dollars, most recently, a cyber stein, with a bgs rating of 9.5 sold for more than 20 000 on ebay.
While another fetched an asking price of more than forty five thousand dollars for those lucky enough to own one of the very few mint condition, psa 10 rated cybersteins, they possess a card whose value currently surpasses thirty thousand dollars.
Number five dark magician girl, considering she's one of the franchise's.
Most iconic waifus.
It's no surprise that this charming spellcaster has become so valuable.
There are several different versions of dark magician girl with each one's value, varying from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
The secret red dark magician girl from the 2003 magicians force is considered one of the rarest behold dark magic energies.
Please hear my call one such card sold earlier this year for nearly ten thousand dollars on ebay.
While another fetched an asking price of nearly thirty thousand dollars.
There exist even more expensive versions of the dark magician girl, including a limited edition, one that was exclusively distributed during a japanese lottery.
That is said to be worth fifty thousand dollars.
This is actually kind of hard to get.
Well, it's not that hard to get.
It came with the dvd uh memorabilia release.
Number four kaiser eagle, the heavens mandate.
As far as championship prize cards go, they don't get much bigger or more expensive than kaiser eagle.
This extra secret rare link monster was the prize card awarded to the winner of the 2019 yugioh world championship, while its monetary value has shifted over the past two years.
Kaiser eagle was originally valued at more than a hundred thousand dollars.
As of this writing, a sealed version of this card has been featured on ebay, with an asking price of a hundred and forty thousand dollars a price worthy of an emperor, or in this case a kaiser number three tyler the great warrior.
When it comes to one-of-a-kind cards tyler, the great warrior is in a league of its own.
Unlike most cards, this one was designed in 2002 by a fan named tyler gressel, who was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer at the age of 14.
tyler in 2002 uh got a wish granted to him by the make-a-wish foundation.
At the time he was dealing with a really rare form of cancer, to my understanding and as far as history goes and the make-a-wish foundation decided to grant him one wish tyler's intense battle with cancer, eventually reached the make-a-wish foundation, who granted him the opportunity to design his very own yu-gi-oh card and thus tyler.
The great warrior was born many years later.
Tyler who has since fully recovered, has been offered more than 75 000 for his original card.
Considering its unique origins and the inspirational story behind it, one could argue that the cost of tyler the great warrior may very well be immeasurable number, two blue eyes ultimate dragon.
I create the blue eyes ultimate dragon, along with having the highest attack and defense of any non-effect monster blue eyes.
Ultimate dragon is also the key to summoning the equally powerful blue eye shining dragon.
While there are plenty of rare and expensive versions of this card, the t3 blue eyes ultimate dragon soars far above the rest, a prize guard from the 2001 asia championship series, this rare sealed blue eyes.
Ultimate dragon comes with a signboard featuring the signature of kazuki takahashi, the creator of the yukio franchise.
Now behold the power of my blue-eyes ultimate dragon, the strongest monster in kaiba's death, while the current owner of this card attempted to sell it for more than 900 million dollars in 2016.
It was later put on display at card shop spiral in tokyo, where it is on sale for more than four hundred thousand dollars.
