The game Games existed in Japan as it hadn't made its way out of there yet and while many of the cards aren't too rare, this one is. For many children Games the early s, the first exposure to the whole Yu-Gi-Oh! It was the first game released in North America and as was the case with most Yu-Gi-Oh video games, came with free cards.

One of them was a super rare variant which goes for a few hundred dollars alone. Pretty good, pretty good, but now let's get into the ultra-rare variant. If you go for the prettiest version of the card, you're going to have to pony up around USD to get this synchronized fiend. But hey, he actually has a decent effect and is easy to summon for a synchro. Probably not & 72 Collectible Playing Cards the cost of a used car, though.

Anime fans will remember that this card was used by Kaiba to completely cripple Yugi and Ishizu's decks. Games card has fallen out of favor because of an effect change to the card, but let's go back to when only 40 copies of this card were made You kinda have to be Kaiba to justify spending this much money on a Games card.

Zexal anime, this creepy looking appendage was also given away as a prize card at the Yu-Gi-Oh! In its initial run, there Games two versions of the card; a super rare which can go for a couple of hundred bucks and an ultra-rare variant But is that really too much to pay considering you & 72 Collectible Playing Cards own the son of Master Hand from Super Smash Brothers? This He-Man villain disguised & 72 Collectible Playing Cards a Yu-Gi-Oh fiend effect monster might have some of the coolest artwork on this entire list. It was so cool that perhaps & 72 Collectible Playing Cards released that the world wouldn't be able to handle too many copies of this card so it was only given to winners of the Shonen Jump Championships as a prize card.
