Between being gifted over a month ago the YGO Link Evolution Switch game, and the recent name change for Red-Eyes Black Dragon, I started thinking on selling my old cards.

I used to buy and collect YGO cards since the early days of LOB, MRD and MRL. And I continued to buy and collect them until I graduated high school. I bought, traded and sold on the Pojo forums. I may not have the newer, most valuable cards, but I may have some older ones that could go for a pretty penny. And money is a bit tight right now, so I could use all the help I can get.

I've been checking market prices on tcgplayer, but is there some other site I should be using to get a better idea on what my cards' values are?

Checking out a buy list on something like troll and toad can give you a general idea.

Most super old packs like LOB/Magic Ruler are only really valuable if they're 1st edition cards that people like.

So according to trollandtoad and tcgplayer, I could sell my TP1 Mechanicalchaser for $250-$300.

Think I'm gonna use both sites to compare prices for now.

Thing is you gotta find someone to buy it

You can use the buy lists to dump it at 30% less than what they'll try to sell it at basically

I presume ebay would be the best place to try to sell?

Never done this before. Thanks a ton for the help, gravy.

I've sold on ebay before for newer cards that had a market since they were in the meta. I've sold alot of my old random cards through buylists, like old copies of staple cards. It's honestly not worth the hassle for alot of it, imo, but yes youd get a more fair price if you sold them as singles.

I guess that TC is a pretty unreliable source.

Well basically I'd look at your real high value prices and then check Ebay for completed listings.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=TP1+Mechanicalchaser&LH_Complete=1

A few have sold for various prices this year. In my opinion and in my experience it's hard to offload random valuable cards with no actual meta value because no one has nostalgia for Mechanicalchaser (at least I presume). Stuff people liked as kids like Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Blue eyes white dragon (especially when they made it meta for a bit) always have value, whether they are 2 or 3 bucks or 10, etc.

Well basically, when you sort through your cards, separate staple cards (even commons) that are splashed into every deck. Monster Reborn, Mystical Space Typhoon, stuff like that. When I went through all my junk from a while ago, it really surprised me how much stuff from Starter Deck Yugi/Joey/Kaiba would fetch on a buylist.

I'd then sort out the holos and check those out. A good chunk of them might have zero value, but you never know.

Anything that's a turbo pack/tourney pack/whatever pack holos are probably going to have value, like you noticed already.

I dumped most of any card that had value several years ago, so my buy list knowledge is pretty out of date, but I presume most of this holds up. I certainly wouldn't sell the bulk cards. Look up what cards are played in tournaments right now, and if they existed in the first few boosters they should at least be worth a dollar, or so.

I've had luck for another card game by joining Facebook groups and selling them there.

This seems like a good idea.
