For whatever reason, trading cards are a highly prized commodity in this pandemic age. Some scalpers rove through grocery stores on the hunt fo🐬r Po꧒kemon cards, while Target has stopped selling cards entirely 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:just as a safety precaution. And when rare and valuable cards are found, they typically sell for tens of thousands, hundreds of t🌟housands, or sometimes even millions of dollars.
In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Yu-Gi-Oh!, there's no card more prized than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The signature card of anime villain Seto Kaiba, a limited-edition Blue-Eyes White Dragon recently 16✃8澳洲幸运5开奖网:surpassed $13 million in a Chinese au⭕ction before the feds stepped in to shut it down under suspicion of foul play. Money laundering via Yu-Gi-Oh! cards? It's more likely than you think.
Konami recently released another limited-edition Blue-Eyes White Dragon called the Premium Silver Blue-Eyes White Dragon. As part of Yu-Gi-Oh's new Masterpiece Series, this Blue-Eyes White Dragon is made of 99.9% pure silver. It's also locked behind an acrylic case so you'll never actually be able to play with it, but to collectors, the use-case of actual gameplay is less important than simply owning one of the 1,000 copies produced.
Konami initially sold the cards for $1,000/€1,000 on June 14, and they all sold out within three hours. There was so much demand, in fact, that the site was knocked out "due to overwhelming interest and hundreds of pre-💖orders being place🦄d at once," according to Konami on .
Now, those Premium Blue-Eyes White Dragon silver cards are appearing on eBay for over ten times their initial price tag. Here's one selling for almost $12,000, and another one here for $8,300. Keep in mind that these are all promissory sales as the actual cards themselves don't ship out until August.
