Magic: The Gathering Variety Sets Sealed Booster Packs Group of 50
This auction has several lots in it, perfect for new collectors and players. I've long championed these types of lots, as they're fun and a great way to stretch your dollar. This lot set is for over 5 different Magic: The Gathering expansion sets. Booster packs included are from expansions such as Core Set 2020, Ultimate Masters, and even a pack of Korean Amonkhet cards.
Each booster pack is sealed and contains 15 cards. That gives you 750 cards to either play with or build a collection with. Plus you may even find a rare card or two thrown in.
Lots like these usually fetch a few hundred at minimum. While these are all modern cards, they're still fun to collect. There are also a group of three starter kits in this auction as well. So, if you're looking to play Magic, these two auctions are a great way to jump in. Heritage notes this lot as being in Excellent condition.
Yu-Gi-Oh Variety Sets Group of 5
Continuing with the group lots, there are also many great Yu-Gi-Oh sets in this lot as well. Starting off we have a group of five Open Structure Decks, including Marik, Machine Re-Volt, The Dark Emperor, Zombie Madness, and Invincible Fortress.
While these decks have been open, this could be a chance to bulk up a pre-existing collection you play with or to fill in gaps for a graded collection. Heritage notes these as being in as-is condition.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Pharaonic Guardian First Edition Group of Six
If you would rather collect cards that have already been graded, this is still a great auction to watch. This lot is for six graded first-edition Pharaonic Guardian cards. Included are:
Great Dezard CGC blue label 8.5
Guardian Spinx CGC blue label 6
Nightmare Wheel CGC blue label 8
Don Zaloog CGC blue label 9
Fushioh Richie CGC blue label 9.5
Helpoemer CGC blue label 9
While these cards aren't rare or immensely valuable, they are great for filling in gaps, or for anyone who is starting out with building a graded TCG collection.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Shonen Jump Toon Dark Magician Girl
This Toon Dark Magician Girl card was a promotional item from the Shonen Jump manga anthology. This card was only available via mail-in orders or subscriptions. This card is considered an Ultra Rare card, yet the median asking price for ungraded cards is only $12. That being said, this card has something many TCG, comics, and video games have a hard time obtaining -- a CGC 10 Gem Pristine grade.
But would the grade boost the value? Yes. A similar card was sold in November of 2022 for $264. By comparison, a CGC 9.5 example of this card sold for $73 in July of 2022. While I don't think it's jumped a ton in value over the last 4 months, this is still a reasonably priced card with the highest possible third-party grade one can obtain.
