Yu-Gi-Oh! cards: live auctions and direct sale

Yu-Gi-Oh! is a card game created by Konami and inspired by Kazuki Takahashi's manga. Released in Japan in 1999, it then spread around the world. Today it still brings together two communities: tournament players and collectors, who look for older cards as well as recent rarities.

The game comes in many rarity levels: Rare, Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Secret Rare, then more special finishes such as Ghost Rares or Starlight Rares. The same monster can exist in several rarities, editions and languages. The card code, printed under the artwork, shows the expansion, the language and the number: it is the best way to identify precisely the card you are buying.

The 1st Edition mention appears on the first print run of an expansion, while later print runs are called Unlimited. The two versions of the same card are generally not worth the same, so check the mention, the code and the language in the description or in the video before bidding. OCG cards (Japanese or Asian) are highly collected, but are usually not allowed in official European tournaments, which use TCG cards.

To spot a counterfeit, compare the card with a genuine copy from the same expansion: print sharpness, font, thickness, surface grain and the small Konami hologram on the front of the card, near the bottom. The holographic effects of Ghost Rares and Secret Rares are hard to photograph, so a video in natural light helps a lot.

On Blisterr, you can buy with instant buy, a classic or silent auction, a Drop, or join a giveaway, in a video Peek or during a live. Every seller application is reviewed manually by our team, and the 30-day buyer protection covers an item that never arrives, does not match its description or is a proven counterfeit. Graded cards, whose grade is certified by a third-party company, remain the safest choice for valuable pieces.
