Rare Card

Did I lose you at the title? If you stick with me a little bit, I’ll explain. Rarity for yugioh cards is relative. Based on what a card does will actually affect how rare it really becomes in the market. First, there are basically two types of people who buy yugioh cards. The first is the player. Every single time a new yugioh set comes out, a player will go through the yugioh card list for the set and determine which cards will be beneficial to him. The second type is the collector. The collector collects according to his or her preference. Some collectors collect only the rare yugioh cards, while some collect the entire set. I’m a bit of both, I like collecting rare foil yugioh cards and using them to build a deck.

Although both the player and collector can affect the value of any one yugioh card, the player has greater influence on card value of a current tournament legal card. In short, if the card is playable in a tournament, then the player affects the value more than a collector. Another reason collectors don’t affect value as much is because they often just buy one copy of a particular yugioh card. Whereas the player will buy multiple copies of a rare yugioh card to complete the deck.

Now, yugioh cards are classified by the manufacturer based on the ratio of each print run and how much of each classification is placed in a single yugioh booster pack. There are eight common cards in every nine-card yugioh booster pack. One of the nine will be a rare. Sometimes, that rare is replaced by a higher rarity kind of card. In yugioh, there are super rare yugioh cards and ultra rare yugioh cards. There is one super rare in every six booster packs and there is one ultra rare in every twelve booster packs. These are just the numbers based on the print run. It doesn’t mean that if you buy twelve booster packs, then you’re guaranteed an ultra rare yugioh card.

When you’re trading your yugioh cards to either complete your collection or your deck, keep this mind. Not all rare, super rare or ultra rare cards are useful to a player. What this means is that the rare cards that don’t show up in tournament decks are easier to trade for when you’re trading with a player. On the flip side, a rare card that’s playable might be easily traded for when you are trading with a collector. The rarity of a yugioh card depends on the trader’s perception. Some players even trade away super rare cards to get a few rare cards that they need for their tournament deck. So the next time you’re looking to complete your yugioh card collection or tournament deck, find out if the trader is a player or a collector. From there, you’ll know the differences between a “rare” yugioh card and a rare yugioh card.
