Looking for advice on how to sell my vintage Yu-Gi-Oh collection
Hi all — I recently dug out my old childhood Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and I’m trying to figure out the best way to sell them.
I have 1st Edition SDY and SDK starter deck boxes. The manuals and playmats have definitely seen some use, and each deck is unfortunately missing two cards, but most of the contents are still there.
I also have some 1st Edition cards from LOB, MRD, and MRL as well as some vanilla ones. I cataloged everything in the Collectr app, and from what I can tell, the three cards pictured along with the starter decks seem to make up most of the value.
I know condition is a huge factor, so I’d really appreciate if anyone could:
- Point me toward a reliable condition/grading guide
- Or give a rough idea of condition/value based on photos (happy to provide more if needed)
I’m also trying to figure out the best way to sell:
- Is it better to sell the decks as-is, or separate out the higher-value cards?
- Best platform to use?
- Any tips on avoiding scams or bad experiences?
I’ve also heard about consignment, but I’m not sure how to find a reputable option — would that be a better route for someone without an established selling history?
Appreciate any advice — thanks in advance!
