as a goat format player, the fact this set finally let me get a copy of dimension fusion for $3 instead of $15-$20 alone makes me grateful for its existence
I started collecting again for nostalgia and told myself I was really only interested in the Quarter Century Rarity cards. Didn’t think some of these cards would be so expensive 😅
The problem is they weren't. Blue-eyes was 60-70. All DMG were in 50-60 range, god cards were like 10-20, other older cards were way down the list from where they are now. I think its important to know that the highest rarity will never return again but this is absolutely insane.
@@mariorivera7969 All the platinums went down except Blue-Eyes White Dragon. No surprise really. The set had to have something of value when everything else is dirt cheap. Even a lot of qcrs are cheap, we see a lot under $5 because they are less desirable. Nothing insane about it. There are a lot of listings now stabilizing the prices.
Damnnn. I was Lucky enough to pull Caius & Dark Magician in QCR. I pulled them. Immediately Double Sleeved them with Dragon Shield Silver Inner, Gold Outer, and Brand New Toploaders. MINT!
I got my Blue-Eyes QCR at $60 and that was after I waited a few days thinking it was going to drop in price. The day it arrived i checked because I wanted another one and it was at $277... I refreshed TCGP a bunch of times because i thought it was a glitch... Couldnt believe it
honestly it says A LOT about how amazing thrust is that it's still in the first page given how much easier it is to pull than any given qcr in the nostalgia pool. a few others that're pretty high from the regular set are toad, monster reborn, and i think colossus as well.
I'm literally the guy who bought the QCR Blue-Eyes for 294 last week Ruxin, please stop shaming me lol it was the cheapest one available when I went to purchase it. Edit: Thanks for the likes, but 1) I'm just a collector, I don't play TCG, I only play Master Duel. 2) Do not worry about my finances lol I have almost all of the QCRs from this set already. I was going to buy it anyways.
Eh, I don't usually shame bros for their choices in hobby. I mean, we've all done it at least once. And I think we all have that one time that we bought something we later regretted.
I missed out on two blue eyes because I was in meetings at work 😒 one sold for 120 the other for 110, I don’t think the prices people are posting are all selling. I think people are posting them who aren’t big collectors and if they get an offer for 130 of a 5 dollar pack are selling them.
This set got me into collecting again, but the boxes are so random. My first box I got 2 dark magician girl QCRs, and I was so hyped that I got another one that had the worst QCRs. This set is a gambling man's dream!
I think the plat secrets are kind underrated, maybe I just really like them. Yes I know QCR is better but it’s so hard to pull specific cards if you get it but it’s plat I’m still happy. I pulled the plat blue eyes, I’m happy with that…
I bought 2 booster boxes when the set came out, I just unboxed 1 the other week and out of the maybe 5 QCR's that I pulled, I think 1 was from the nostalgia pool and it wasn't a super cool one. I'm kinda thinking of keeping the other box sealed and just sitting on it.
bought 3 boxes for 270, crazy to think that i made already 200 back with QCR jinzo, upstart, summoned skull, cyber dragon and soul servant. Also platinum thrusts and blue eyes and cheaper QCRs like heat wave neptabyss and the dragonmaid alt art spell. Hope i can grab BLS, emperor dragon and dark magician for my collection too....
The DMG A and C artwork are crazy expensive in the ocg in qcr. The movie art usually sells I think above 200 and the collector tin art was a world champion card and that sells for over 300. so, I imagine people want a cheaper alternative. Kind of regretting not buying those two cards at 40$ each.
I commented on about a 2 week old video on this bonanza, but I bought my first 5 pack box of this product last night at Barnes & Noble. My first pack i nearly spilled my drink. It was the Blue-Eyes QCR 😵 I nearly got all the god cards in the 5 pack box too. I am glad Ruxin did the math for me 😂 I'm just a slifer slacker and am so incredibly fortunate I guess, I don't really have the means to buy products straight up anymore, and this was just something to treat myself after work.
My first pack that I opened I got the qcr dark magician. Wild. The prismatic secret rare morphing jar #2 that I pulled next looks sick. All in all this set is the most fun I’ve had opening something in awhile
I dont think this is a bad thing. Just going by what u said if u pull 3 decent qcrs at around $30 each the rest of ur box, bulk wise and other qcrs, will get u the value of the boostwr box itself. So it makes buying a box feel worth it, idk when the last time buying a booster box felt worth it.
You're forgetting one thing: it's not always (just) buyouts. Everyone has their own personal favorite card(s). I recently bought Legendary Duelists II, and out of the three decks included, I was really after maybe.... ten of them (mostly the full Exodia set and the Egyptian Gods).
What i HATE is I can't feel safe buying a booster box cus I feel like it'd from a case that the seller knows the box is crap if that makes sense so Yyaaayay a box.... from.a case where the seller pulled a good pull so ODD ARE rest of case Is crap.
I just received a box i bought for 95, and got one of the nostalgia cards i wanted (Machina Fortress QCR) and a heavy storm QCR. Was thinking of getting another, but with the lrice being what it is, think ill just buy a single QCR machina gear frame and leave it at that. Also one box and only one TTT. Im not salty at all :))))
I got an entire case and didn't get anything i wanted. Got a few good pulls but nothing like i was expecting. Goes to show just how rare the top end is.
I have wondering about that too, especially getting a Blue Eyes White Dragon Quarter Century from the first time, and one person offered $200 for the card out of $250 think it over accepted his offer only to go for another offer can't blame them at all. Decided that grading it is the better option, and let's hope that the QCR Blue eyes is not like Dragon Master Magia price jumps up like crazy.
Okay now im glad i 'settled' for the platinum secrets. Now I'm a couple of my favourite cards weren't printed in Bonanza lol I don't think I could've gotten a Relinquished QCR if it were printed in this set. Maybe they should've put these nostalgia cards in the main set.
I was always gonna settle for the Plat secrets for my decks because I think they look better, personally I'm only gunning for some QCSRs for collection/monetary speculation reasons
I remember when Ra Yellow was the biggest set and I ended up buying it steadily for a couple years. So many popular new sets I would have thought that they retain more value even with retrains.
Ive opened alot of this product and even though Im not happy about the prices they are fair regarding the pull rates Ive opened 14 boxes and have only pulled 1 Caius an trust me Ive pulled good stuff but most are 1 each as well
I only have managed to get my hands on 6 packs of quarter century bonanza. And the only store in my city that sells Yu-gi-oh cards doesn't even sell that set.
My local shop had all dark magician girl arts and blue eyes for 25 bucks each. It honestly seemed too much and i let them passed Edit: I remembered only the blue eyes and one dark magician were QCRs the other ones where platinum
I had to jump on about 15 QCRs including all the six samurai cards because it’s my favorite deck. The main card I wanted was a QCR morphing jar 🏺 and Dark Magician the Dragon Knight QCR
There’s cards that are $3 qcrs so it kind of balances out. The cards seem to be settling with many listings now. Prices seem more fair considering most of the set is dirt cheap and these cards have stabilized.
I feel like the nostalgia stuff was downplayed pretty heavily and people are just realizing it now. $40 for the qcr dark magician girls on launch weekend was wild, this is a lot closer to what I was expecting
Why are the cards expensive? The answer is Konami at the end of the day. They made the card ratios, they laid the packs out, they made the decision to have 400+ cards in one set. Konami is the reason the cards are so expensive.
Idk I'm conflicted cuz they are hard to pull so it makes sense but at the same time I don't open boxs any more I just buy the singles I want so this just makes it harder/more expensive to pick up cards so I'ma just have to wait on bonanza
This is... getting bad. And I'm saying from both collector and player sides... I want to open a box, but now, I wonder if I'll be able to even get one sometime. And the prices are crazy bad. I understand the pull rates and ratio, and expected something like this to happen, but not that high of a price. I think this is getting out of control, not only for the meta players but now for the collectors as well.
the prices are the MOST justified for this- an already expensive set, OF COURSE the hard to pull cards are gonna be expensive? They have to be to justify the price of the product? That has ALWAYS been how sets work, why is ANYONE surprised by an expensive set having expensive cards ??
Days ago , people in my country/city were selling blue eyes around 400 and 600 pesos(between 20 and 30 dollars), seeing the price it have, i'm happy to got 4 🤣, good vibes and...prices?
got my tin hat on, but I feel like theres finally some trickling over from Pokemon, card prices for brand new sets have been going crazy so idk, I think there's FOMO and people are panic buying like with pokemon. Just my opinion, it's crazy cuz I still see tons of packs of QCB in stores
as for the np qcr's, they're too high for my wallet to be able to get several at once but they're about right for how hard they are to pull and especially the goat/edison stuff. sucks bc i have a bounty on 10 of the dm qcr's but i have to get them one by one. ftr they're sangan, summoned skull, mirror force, jinzo, obelisk, ra, injection fairy lily, ced, dmoc, and bls.
LOL! I had to laugh at myself when I saw that $39.99 on the Summoned Skull and performed a quick double take, since a PSA 10 on the first ed originals can go for TENS OF THOUSANDS. For a second, I forgot we were looking at reprints.

How long do you usually wait to sell a card you pulled? If you were to sell it of course 🧐 or do you keep them for a while to see if the market is good
Honestly - a lot of card games are experiencing this ATM - Pokémon being a good example, I'm not sure where the huge demand has come from but it seems very aggressive 😂
When Bonanza goes so nuts, even Ruxin does a friggin' market watch lol.

Damn, the one time I didn’t go ham on a rarity collection… o well, money was needed for all of the house prep for winter

If you preordered the qcr nostalgia cards you made out like a bandit. I think I got 2 of the blue eyes for ~$70
Exactly, some of the Better or rarer cards were like $10-$30 at Pre order/ pre sale then prices went up (cause it was cheap AF)
Someone bought 5 blues eyes at $190! That's wild!! 😮
Dude’s lucky as hell…
That son of a Kaiba!
I got 8 total over a week for around $110-120 on average.
I bought 2 booster boxes when the set came out, I just unboxed 1 the other week and out of the maybe 5 QCR's that I pulled, I think 1 was from the nostalgia pool and it wasn't a super cool one. I'm kinda thinking of keeping the other box sealed and just sitting on it.
Good idea if you want to sell. Its value will be based on potential rather then whats actually in it.
bought 3 boxes for 270, crazy to think that i made already 200 back with QCR jinzo, upstart, summoned skull, cyber dragon and soul servant. Also platinum thrusts and blue eyes and cheaper QCRs like heat wave neptabyss and the dragonmaid alt art spell. Hope i can grab BLS, emperor dragon and dark magician for my collection too....

Rarity collection actually started off slow and low, which is uncommon for a reprint set. And now it has gone bananas
I commented on about a 2 week old video on this bonanza, but I bought my first 5 pack box of this product last night at Barnes & Noble. My first pack i nearly spilled my drink. It was the Blue-Eyes QCR 😵

It’s not easy to pull I bought a few boxes already probably just gonna buy it individually before prices increase again
I wanted BLS Envoy and CED Both in QCR but those prices are wild lol
Damn I pulled a qcr blue eyes on bonanza Walmart box and haven't sleeved it yet. I didn't think it was gonna be that expensive
What i HATE is I can't feel safe buying a booster box cus I feel like it'd from a case that the seller knows the box is crap if that makes sense so Yyaaayay a box.... from.a case where the seller pulled a good pull so ODD ARE rest of case Is crap.

Also one box and only one TTT. Im not salty at all :))))
Love the opening and pulls, Quarter Century bonanza has to be one of my favorite recent sets with the reprints and nostalgic cards!
Yup, each $100 booster box only comes with 5-6 QCRs. Bought 3 boxes and didn't get a single QCR I wanted (out of a wishlist of 127 cards).
I got an entire case and didn't get anything i wanted. Got a few good pulls but nothing like i was expecting. Goes to show just how rare the top end is.
I only ever buy singles and for once I’m glad I bought 3 qcr blue eyes at $75ea
I would rather have SDK Blue-Eyes QCR for $25 over LOB Blue-Eyes QCR for $150 any day of the week.
Konami has found a way to print money. I actually really like the model. Spreading the cards thin helps them retain value.
I’m buying QCB anytime I see it. The gems in that set are incredible.
I have wondering about that too, especially getting a Blue Eyes White Dragon Quarter Century from the first time, and one person offered $200 for the card out of $250 think it over accepted his offer only to go for another offer can't blame them at all. Decided that grading it is the better option, and let's hope that the QCR Blue eyes is not like Dragon Master Magia price jumps up like crazy.
Okay now im glad i 'settled' for the platinum secrets. Now I'm a couple of my favourite cards weren't printed in Bonanza lol I don't think I could've gotten a Relinquished QCR if it were printed in this set. Maybe they should've put these nostalgia cards in the main set.
I was always gonna settle for the Plat secrets for my decks because I think they look better, personally
I'm only gunning for some QCSRs for collection/monetary speculation reasons
I bought half a box and got two QCRs and one Red Eyes Black Dragon platinum
I want to buy more Bonanza but with holidays coming around the corner, I've had to hold off but I want it so BADLY!!!
I remember when Ra Yellow was the biggest set and I ended up buying it steadily for a couple years. So many popular new sets I would have thought that they retain more value even with retrains.
I think its okay cuz I agree its very hard to pull the QCR we want
I traded a friend for the blue-eyes and have just watched the price go up and up lmao
Here in NZ, the booster box is going for $US160 which is CRAZY. Even the loose packs are $US8.75 which is insane.
Dang, lucky i got my Blue-Eyes from the box when it was released.
Rux you could probably sell that complete binder for about $15 to 20 thousand
Sure buddy 😂
@@seafoodfun777 more like 5k at most
Bonanza is a fantastic set to collect, definitely my fav of the 3 rarity collection sets released so far!
Ive opened alot of this product and even though Im not happy about the prices they are fair regarding the pull rates Ive opened 14 boxes and have only pulled 1 Caius an trust me Ive pulled good stuff but most are 1 each as well
Prices will ALWAYS go down
i have a qcr blue eyes ultimate, should I hold and grade and then sell or just sell now
It makes me wonder like what would the price have been if they swapped this blue eyes with the SDK art from the tins?
The prices are going to fluctuate a lot before try stabilize
I only have managed to get my hands on 6 packs of quarter century bonanza. And the only store in my city that sells Yu-gi-oh cards doesn't even sell that set.

I was hoping to collect the QCRs, but I don't think that's going to happen lol
This set is fun as the others curious about how it will do in the future
I think there’s nothing wrong with it it’s perfect besides the main set being a lil to small
There’s cards that are $3 qcrs so it kind of balances out. The cards seem to be settling with many listings now. Prices seem more fair considering most of the set is dirt cheap and these cards have stabilized.
I feel like the nostalgia stuff was downplayed pretty heavily and people are just realizing it now. $40 for the qcr dark magician girls on launch weekend was wild, this is a lot closer to what I was expecting
I predicted when it first came out that those cards will get higher when it gets low product in 3-4 months.
Im getting the booster box in a couple of days should i open it or should i keep it sealed
On Cardmarket the prices are a bit lower, but I am not sure how they delive and if to the US.
Why are the cards expensive? The answer is Konami at the end of the day. They made the card ratios, they laid the packs out, they made the decision to have 400+ cards in one set. Konami is the reason the cards are so expensive.
Going to be real interesting revisiting this set in a year.
I still have my packs to open... Let's hope I find something good
To be honest when I see a broken art like the first time it looks like a fake Blue Eyes White Dragon! 2:43
I think the prices are justified given the pull rates. I’m happy settling for PSR though because I don’t want to break the bank 😂
Ruxin you should definitely grow a beard! You have amazing beard genetics, I think it'll look really good on you
Yeah the prices are crazy to me!! I still prefer rarity 1, but this set is really cool!
It’s a Great set for everyone
Yup. I bought 3 maybe 4 boxes by now
its the same here in the EU, i bought a display and pulled the 25th blue eyes
Idk I'm conflicted cuz they are hard to pull so it makes sense but at the same time I don't open boxs any more I just buy the singles I want so this just makes it harder/more expensive to pick up cards so I'ma just have to wait on bonanza

I bought my QCR BEWD for 65 omg thank God I did
Yeah as much as i really really really like this set... it should've been named platinum bonanza. And i pulled almost all of my QCR chases
I know what you’re saying I bought your listed QCR Naturia Beast off of TCG Player. You had one of 7 listed QCR nat beasts when I bought yours
This set kinda has something for everyone and the crazy price fluctuations show it
Bonanza is my new favorite pack
It’s not surprising the Nostalgia side set is retaining value. You’re only getting 3 QCRs out of that pool and a box is $100+
It’s because 25th century coming to an end soon. And this set is hardest to pull as well. And blue eyes is iconic
got my tin hat on, but I feel like theres finally some trickling over from Pokemon, card prices for brand new sets have been going crazy so idk, I think there's FOMO and people are panic buying like with pokemon. Just my opinion, it's crazy cuz I still see tons of packs of QCB in stores
$190 for the blue eyes art? People are crazy
as for the np qcr's, they're too high for my wallet to be able to get several at once but they're about right for how hard they are to pull and especially the goat/edison stuff. sucks bc i have a bounty on 10 of the dm qcr's but i have to get them one by one. ftr they're sangan, summoned skull, mirror force, jinzo, obelisk, ra, injection fairy lily, ced, dmoc, and bls.

tens of thousands? do you even follow the market? because it's not even close.
You forgot to look at the rarity, man. It's definitely not the same. You can't get Summoned Skull QCR from the previous set.

Kinda insane for the lob blue eyes to be higher than the sdk art from the tins
Because SDK Blue eyes are easy to pull compared to LOB blue eyes. So many people have SDK blues QCR already.
Honestly - a lot of card games are experiencing this ATM - Pokémon being a good example, I'm not sure where the huge demand has come from but it seems very aggressive 😂
Money calls money as always 🤑
Wow such a wonderful blue eyes card oh my
1:07 lmao 😂
Hopefully they go back down in price
Technically this is a Ruxin market watch.
It's insane! I should have got some!
