I can understand your point. I am actually considering selling my Yu-Gi-Oh stuff and keep only a few decks I love. I do know most of my cards aren't going to be that expensive since I have a bunch of commons and rares and for me this is a hard choice since I love all my decks I've built but I don't really play them often at all.
there's this book about decluttering your life that was popular a few years back, and while I don't agree with most of its mysticism and wooh, I stand by it's opening question "does the item bring you joy?" if you have all this yugioh stuff and it's just sitting there (or will continue sitting there after covid since the current pandemic makes face to face untenable) it's just clutter, and you're better off selling it and reinvesting into things that bring you joy, books, movies, games, vanguard, gifts for friends, meals, etc. but if they still bring you joy there's also no harm in keeping them.

Hey, are the SP cards from the original booster packs like Blaster Blade BT01, Dragon Overlord BT01, Blaster Dark BT04 a good investment? (how likely will these iconic cards be in the same level as vintage pokemon/ yugioh cards?)
I’ve got 19 different playable decks and countless extra cards for like 12 clans. I just keep decks I like/build and if I do want to get rid of it I’ll just sell a couple of the most expensive cards. A few of my friends lost a good bit of money selling off their favorite decks when they got bored and then buying them back and reselling them etc.
I mean, just look at VRs from last two sets and compare them to Luard, The X, Nightrose and other good stuff. It's as if, Bushi is trying to make weak boss units. Standard is gonna rotate.
A combination of CSPX (which tracks the S&P500) and VWCE (which tracks global). You could argue that I technically invest in America twice because of the overlap VWCE has, but I'm fine with that.
What are you have done RN is happen to me RN. I try to sell my Novas & Spikes Premium deck and my bunch of cards and now I only have 2 Main clan to maximized and just focusing in premium format so the money later on is for investing in High Rarity card(s) & trying to do a business... Nice move I think, bcoz I do the same thing also ... OOT, would you play versus DF again in the future?
Only sad reason why I sold all but one deck too is no community where I live or not as much people play it. Same with transformers after we had one person ruin it that was it for me.
@@azaizer Because the new cards are strictly better by such magnitudes that the older cards simply aren't usable in a meta setting, causing players to dump their copies onto the market where prices crawl lower until something is announced that MAYBE uses it. Since the reboot, Vanguard has also sold decks by the box, meaning that almost everything you need for the new stronger clan deck is right there in the new set, with older cards not being usable in it.
Because the only cards that retain value in the games you mentioned are vintage collectible cards. That requires a collectors/investors market. Just meta cards tend to depreciate as well. Vanguard has no collector market. Playability is its only selling point. If everything power creeps, that selling point isn't very strong long-term. Premium is kinda different since strides stick around, but the opportunity cost of owning thousands in VG cards is just way too big.
Well done Brother, I just focus myself to Spike Brothers, i'm gonna sell the Megacolony and Tachikaze. I'll buying boxes maybe but is much better buy entire collections just for spike brothers.
Actual video: got rid of most to keep my favorite premium decks and invest the money into things that tend to appreciate instead of potentially dead V cards
WIth Thavas just around the corner I'm just sad it sounds like you sold Aqf. Getting rid of the rest I totally agree with, but man what a fuckin' tragedy.
if standard rotates soon i am quitting the game or at least going super duper casual, because bushiroad doesn't have any staple cards like pokemon or MTG which means that your collectiong would just immediately die when it rotates, cardfight does not have cards like DCE, switch, or Lands and mixing in clan formats that to make it harder to stay F that
I mean it's not that vanguard value is that high yknow, if i want money i would invest in pokemon. I love vanguard, especially granblue since the first ep vanguard anime aired
3 of my Vanguard decks Kagero,Cresent Moon, and Gear chronicle got confiscated in school when i was Grade 5 and now im gonna be Grade 10 in september. F*ck
what I'm more surprised about is that you were able to sell all your stuff and got 4000 out if it xD because to many broke boys looking for cards asking for prices just to remember "oh I don't have money" and before anybody says that no my prices aren't to high I usually always am a bit under the actual value of a card or a deck, I don't necessarily need to make a profit and usually are willing to negotiate prices, but sadly people forgot how that whole trading works in the last few years I have the feeling. I can still remember when I tried to sell my whole Royal Paladin Collection which was a lot of stuff, probably worth around 900 Euro going by high rares and single prices and it was a nightmare to sell the amount of frustration I got just by talking to some people that were "interested" in the stuff because they come in like "Hey I give you 150 for the stuff" and being totally serious with it... bruh
@@SolemnVanguard ah ok yeah sometimes it's really sad on how cheap you have to go for large amounts of cards. I mean 4000 is still awesome but it still hurts a bit if you know that it actually would have been 8k
@@Albireo20 The amount of time (and shipping costs) I would've had to spend to move all the cards individually to get the 8k just isn't worth my time haha
not true since gold is really another form of currency. That is like saying Bitcoin can't go down in value. You don't need that much gold to make products in the things it is used for. Most of the gold price is based on speculation between various governments. Gold is good in that it can be converted into any currency and therefore every country should have reserves in gold.
I'd tell you to check out Ben Felix' channel. People call gold a hedge against inflation, but historically, that hasn't worked all that well. It's fine for a little bit of diversification, but it's not this end-all-be-all that some claim it is.
Aside of high rarity shadow paladins and ultra, super special Blaster Blades, the rest just keeps falling in price. There's this Promo strategy that Bushiroad is doing, the game also doesn't have cards in many other languages ( i never saw a Spanish, Portuguese, French or German cards), neither i see new countries with potential TCG comunities having official tournament support. So, yes. Looking as an investment, Vanguard is an awful game. As a competitive game, we're seeing how diverse the meta game is... In standard. And it is a "fake diverse", because the most rexent supported clans are usually the best, while decks from collections like V-EB13 or V-EB14 see little to no play until they get a new upgrade. So, if you got all the Altmile support from V-eb14 or the medical Gundam deck from V-eb13, well... Yeah... Look at their win rates before and now, and yeah, they were released this year. Same thing with Revonn and Vanquisher, btw, and even God hand that was released like 1 year ago.
😂 I snagged ya OTT stuff and I’m actually happy as all heck cause I finally have OTT now. I’m gonna stop buying shit once I finally update shadows with PBO, build nightrose, chrono, Shiranui and whatever megas is (probably Gredora) cause my original decks were Palemoon Nuba Granblue and Megas. So I’m almost done with Vanguard hallelujah
Only in Vanguard would someone say they sold their entire collection, make it sound huge, then say only $4000. Meanwhile, in MTG.... "I sold it all.... for a mansion, 2 airplanes, and 6 ferraris"
@@SolemnVanguard You must have missed Masterpieces then. Very expensive. Also there were plenty of other random cards worth big money in the recent years. Modern Horizons Foil Wrenn & Six is $1300/playset. MTG has a lot of premium priced cards recently. Actually more than what you'd find in older cards unless you're talking strictly power/duals.
@@ManateeGamingRunescape Again; few outliers. 99% of cards most people have in their collections are not worth all that much. I'm well aware of the outliers, but they're not the rule. Btw, this vg collection was worth about 8000, but when you sell to a vendor, you usually only get 50% value. In MTG, surely some cards are mega expensive, but it's not the rule. If you're a standard MTG player and you built your standard decks without any vintage or high-end modern, your "collection" generally gets absolutely slaughtered over time. If you then sell off to a vendor, you're likely not getting much more for it than Vanguard cards. Not that VG is all that great or anything, it's just that modern-day MTG value isn't great either.
@@SolemnVanguard I'm just going to end this with assuming things are very different in your country, so I apologize for not making that connection earlier. In the US market, MTG is not cheap, even for recent cards. Honestly if you can play MTG as cheap as you're saying, sounds like a win for where you live! Also vending for 50% sounds horrible. Our vendors here typically offer at least 60-70% of TCGplayer. Best of luck on the projects man.
