"Sold out!" When Lorita saw the sign, she was on the verge of tears.
There were only three people in front of her, but they were all sold out. A total of 100 packs of Yu-Gi-Oh first edition cards were all sold out.
When these card packs were first released, they were all priced at $10 per pack. However, after such a long time, Yu-Gi-Oh was now in its 32nd edition. The cards had become much cooler and the price was still $10 per pack. However, these old cards were being sold at a higher price than the new card packs.
Well, after thinking about it, it was normal. The rarer something was, the more expensive it was. Something from 16 years ago had already gone out of print. The Daqian would not be so shameless as to continue to print a new first edition … Even if they copied it, it would not be the old one and the players would not recognize it.
On the other hand, some of the people who bought the card packs left immediately after buying them. However, most of them chose to open the card packs on the spot. Naturally, the result was a series of cries. These people did not open anything good.
Only two shouts of surprise could be heard.
"Tsk tsk, these two boxes are so lousy. There is only one guaranteed card!" Seeing this scene, the girl smiled.
"What does guaranteed card mean?" Boss Jia asked, puzzled.
"Guaranteed card means that there will be a rare card in every box!" The girl had just suffered a loss from the Gin Wine. At this moment, she wanted to salvage her image as a fan of anime and manga. Hence, she hurriedly said, "We Yu-Gi-Oh fans have a habit of classifying the cards according to their rarity. There are also two different classifications."
"After the third episode, the officials have already specially created different card effects to differentiate the cards. The most awesome one is the holographic HR. The card will have different colors when viewed from different angles. It is very rare. Usually, there will not be one card like this in a hundred boxes.
Then, there is the 3D UTR, Gold USR, Silver SER, Diagonal SCR, Burst PR, Gold UR, Face Flash SR, Gold GR, Silver R, Pinghan NR, and Pinghan N. "
"This is artificially set by the officials. The value of the card can be judged directly based on the card surface. It's more convenient and can also represent the value of most cards. For example, after the twenty-seventh episode, there won't be any mistakes in distinguishing the cards according to this routine. However, this doesn't necessarily represent the recognition of this card in the circle. "
"In the circle of players, there is another set of rarity. This set of rarity is directly determined by the price of the auction house. According to some historical problems, some bonuses from the game's plot, and some feelings, so the most powerful cards are not necessarily the most valuable."
"For example, the most valuable card now is the Blue-Eyed White Dragon. Moreover, it has to be the first generation Blue-Eyed White Dragon to be valuable. As long as you have it, someone will buy it in minutes."
"But the first generation card packs don't have any distinction between the cards. All the cards are ordinary N cards, so don't be fooled by the Daqian's fancy things. The most valuable thing is still the N cards."
"Anyway, the rarity system between the players is directly based on the auction price. The Blue Eyes White Dragon is worth hundreds of millions of cards … Next up is tens of millions of cards … A million cards …"
"Wait!" Boss Jia knocked on his head. "You just said that a Blue Eyes White Dragon card can be sold for more than a million RMB. How did it suddenly become hundreds of millions?"
"Are you stupid? I said one million RMB, but this system was passed down from Fusang. They use Japanese Yen. A Blue Eyes White Dragon card in Fusang is worth more than a hundred million RMB. Is there a problem with calling it hundreds of millions?"
"No!" Boss Jia shook his head. Then, he eagerly walked in front of a counter. On the counter were boxes of brand new Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
"In this episode, according to the players, what's the best card level?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"The most expensive? Currently, the most expensive card is the only HR Holy Magician King. It's said that there are only twenty-four copies in this issue. In this animation city, there are people buying them for five thousand RMB each. However, if you were to auction them, you could probably sell them for ten thousand RMB! "The young lady said.
"Well, let's see if my luck is good enough to draw a Holy Magician King card!" Boss Jia laughed.
"Uncle, that's not how you get rich. You should just go back to work!" The young lady complained. However, Boss Jia simply took out two hundred and forty RMB and bought a box of card packs.
In 2010, Yu-Gi-Oh's sales strategy naturally underwent a comprehensive change.
In the past, there were different card boxes for gold, silver, and copper. However, after the market verification and communication with the players, Da Qian finally grouped all the cards together. There was no longer a so-called gold, silver, and copper version. There was only a public release of a certain number of issues.
However, during some special festivals, anniversaries, special events, dueling competitions, and other IPs, additional special versions of the card box would be released. However, this was not universal, so let's not talk about it.
There were a total of 24 packs in a box of King's Edition, and each pack contained 10 cards. Among them, each pack contained 5 N cards, 3 NR cards, 1 Silver R card, and 1 card that was completely random. In theory, there were all kinds of possibilities from HR cards to N cards.
So in theory, there were 240 cards in a box, but in reality, there were 241 cards in total.
This was because each box would contain an additional Holy Card Pack, which contained only one card.
This card was at least a Gold-tier card, and there was a high chance that it would be a higher-tier card.
When the store sold the cards, if they were sold separately, it would definitely be 10 yuan for a small pack, while the sacred card pack would be sold separately for 30 yuan.
So, for the players, it was definitely more cost-effective to buy a box directly. This was equivalent to getting a Holy Card Pack for free and earning 30 yuan.
This was also the Daqian's sinister trick, causing many players to buy boxes of King of Games cards directly when they bought them. After all, the probability of rare cards appearing in the Holy Card Pack was much higher. For those professional King of Games players, normal N cards were meaningless to them. Only high-level rare cards could make their hearts beat faster.
Back to the topic, Boss Jia really spent 240 yuan to buy a box of cards.
Well, although the cards were produced by his own house, and although it seemed very strange for a 40-year-old middle-aged man to still play King of Games, this could not suppress Boss Jia's desire to play.
Anyway, no matter if he won or lost, he would definitely earn and not lose!
"I'd like to see what you can open!" The little girl curiously ran to Boss Jia's side. At the same time, not knowing if it was because the middle-aged man rarely appeared here, many people came to watch the Boss Jia open the box.
