Yu gi oh cards series#

We're starting out this list of most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh! cards with the promotional version of the 'Doomcaliber Knight' card from the 2008 Shonen Jump Championship.

Please note, in doing research for this article, I arrived at final price information by aggregating and averaging a mix of valuation resources to give you the best price detail available at this time. For this article though, we've published this list of the most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh! cards of all time. In a follow-up article, I'll return to discuss a breakdown of how Yu-Gi-Oh! has fared in comparison to other collectible card games like Pokémon, Magic: the Gathering, Naruto, VS System and, of course, Duel Masters. It is this story element that spawned the real world collectible (also know as trading) card game that quickly took the world by storm. In the manga, Duel Masters causes players to use cards to duel each other in mock battles utilizing fantasy monsters. From there it evolved into a broader franchise rolling in spin-off manga, further related animated series, video games and, of course, a trading card game which is the focus of what we’re discussing in this story. What began in the pages of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine (between September 1996 and March 2004) grew into two anime adaptations (one by Toei Animation and one by NAS). The manga itself is very gaming focused and the in-story fictional game of Duel Monsters becomes a narrative element driving the broader tale. Here we follow the trials of Yugi Mutou, a young boy who unlocks an alter-ego version of himself after solving an ancient puzzle.

Yu-Gi-Oh! began life as a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi. What happens when a fictitious game within a much-loved Japanese manga spawns a real world card game that becomes almost as culturally important as the manga that started it? This is the story of Yu-Gi-Oh! and the trading card game that grew out of it, eventually going on to sell over 22 billion cards (and counting).
