How to store my cards?

Hey folks, new to collecting yugioh cards and really enjoying myself - I’ve acquired quite a large collection already (this hobby gets out of hand quick🤣) and want a more efficient way to store and sort them

I was thinking of sorting by set code in numerical order and using card deciders to mark the set codes but am unsure if there’s potential issues with this way of organising.

As for the storage I have no idea what to go for - I’ve seen large build boxes decided into 4 rows, single rowed stackable drawers. I just can’t work out the best option so please let me know what you use!

Since I’m new to it I totally welcome and advise, and I’m looking to make some new friends with the same interest so feel free to send a message too!

Cheers

Animal crossing holy grail e-reader cards

When researched, it says I have the forbidden four or the holy grail of the animal crossing e-reader cards. They are the Mario Bros and Ice Breaker cards in mint condition. I’m new to these cards and am wondering if anyone has seen them sold for what people are trying to get on eBay? I’m
debating on getting them graded now after seeing the prices. Any help is appreciated.

Final Fantasy TCG Card Of The Day - Terra

Today’s card of the day is Terra 15-037L from Opus XV: Crystal Dominion.

Terra 15-037L is a versatile Ice Forward that excels in summon-focused decks. When she enters the field, she rewards you for revealing Summons from your hand by dulling and freezing the same number of opposing Characters, creating powerful tempo swings that can shut down an opponent’s offense. She also triggers another control effect whenever you cast a Summon, allowing you to dull and freeze additional opposing Forwards and Backups. The result is a card that continually disrupts your opponent while enabling Ice’s signature strategy of limiting their ability to attack and generate CP.

Terra Branford is the central heroine of Final Fantasy VI, a young woman born with the rare ability to naturally use magic. Raised under the oppressive Gestahlian Empire and controlled through a magical slave crown, she begins her journey searching for her own identity after being freed from the Empire’s influence. Her struggle between her human emotions and Esper heritage forms one of the game’s most memorable character arcs.

As the story progresses, Terra learns that true strength comes not from her incredible magical power, but from the bonds she forms with others. Her compassion, courage, and desire to protect those in need ultimately define her far more than her Esper abilities. By the end of Final Fantasy VI, she has become a symbol of hope, proving that love and humanity can overcome even the darkest circumstances.

Final Fantasy TCG Card Of The Day - Tifa

Today’s card of the day is the coveted chase of Opus XI: Soldier’s Return Tifa 11-071L.

Tifa 11-071L is a powerful Category VII Forward that becomes significantly easier to deploy if you control Cloud, reducing her cost by 1 and allowing her to be paid with CP of any element. She grants your other Category VII Forwards +2000 power and Brave, making aggressive attacks much safer, and once you’ve dealt 3 damage she unlocks a powerful ability that prevents your Category VII Forwards from being broken by opposing Summons or non-damage abilities, making her an excellent centerpiece for FFVII-themed decks.

Tifa Lockhart is one of the central heroes of Final Fantasy VII and a childhood friend of Cloud Strife. As the owner of Seventh Heaven in Midgar, she secretly supports the resistance group AVALANCHE while fighting to protect the people she cares about. Despite her incredible martial arts skill, she is compassionate, thoughtful, and often serves as the emotional heart of the party.

Throughout the story, Tifa helps Cloud confront the truth about his fractured memories and identity, providing unwavering support during his darkest moments. Her determination, kindness, and resilience have made her one of the most beloved characters in the Final Fantasy series, balancing extraordinary physical strength with genuine empathy and loyalty.

Resealed TCG on WhatNot (removed by mods)

Hello guys,

i’ve tried to post this in the WhatNot sub but it gets removed by the moderators almost instantly, clearly they know what is going on or don’t want to accept the bad publicity.

Spent over 1k in the last few months on Rip n Ship and haven't got a single significant card (over $10).

Now, i'm not sour about it and I'm used to have bad luck streaks however that said, I've easily purchased 60-70 boosters, it something seems off and I would have expected at least a low value SIR or IR worth more than $10.

Here's the thing though, I stream with friends on discord and we watch hours of Rip and Ship footage every day, thousands of packs being opened, and very very little being pulled. Months on end and we've seen maybe two decent SIR pulls and 2/3 decent IR pulls.

Something seems off, and I genuinely am starting to think the vast majority of Rip n Shippers are just running resealed products.

What's everyone's thoughts here, I've actually stopped purchased from whatnot now for these main reasons:

  1. Vast majority of sellers are clearly scalpers, we can't get MSRP ETBs because these guys are buying them all up and then using them for their casino gambling breaks.
  2. Extremely low pull rates, I watch guys stream for 3 hours straight and not a single pull. I watch several streams a day, not a single pull, watched for months straight nothing note worthy.
  3. I buy a booster box and it comes with a SIR and a bunch of full arts, I usually get something decent every 20 packs or so... on whatnot, nothing in 60-70 packs. Watch other people thousands of packs and nothing.

Anyone else notice the same, or am I just reading in to this way to much.

Final Fantasy TCG Card Of The Day - Yuna

Today’s card of the day is Yuna PR-041/1-176H. This full art card was given as a monthly organized play promo in February 2019. It comes in both foil and non-foil versions. Foil being the most sought after.

Yuna PR-041/1-176H is a versatile Backup that provides both disruption and protection. When she enters the field, her EX Burst and auto ability let you return any Forward to its owner’s hand, breaking up attacks, removing buffs, or forcing opponents to replay key characters. In addition, if one of your Characters would be put into the Break Zone, you may remove it from the game instead, helping protect cards from effects that interact with the Break Zone and offering useful utility in decks that benefit from banishing their own Characters.

Yuna is the daughter of High Summoner Braska and serves as the central heroine of Final Fantasy X. As a summoner, she embarks on a pilgrimage across Spira to obtain the Aeons needed to defeat Sin, carrying the hopes of the world’s people despite knowing the tremendous personal sacrifice expected of her.

Throughout her journey, Yuna grows from a reserved and dutiful young woman into a confident leader who challenges centuries of tradition. Her compassion, determination, and willingness to forge a new future alongside her companions make her one of the most beloved protagonists in the Final Fantasy series, with her story continuing in Final Fantasy X-2 as she discovers her own path beyond the role of a summoner.

Final Fantasy TCG Artist Spotlight - Fumio Minagawa

Fumio Minagawa is one of the most recognizable artists associated with both the Final Fantasy XI universe and the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game. His artwork is known for its vibrant colors, expressive characters, and playful sense of movement, traits that helped define much of the promotional and event artwork for Final Fantasy XI over the years. Square Enix has highlighted Minagawa’s extensive contributions to Final Fantasy XI, including illustrations for seasonal events, promotional campaigns, and commemorative artwork that became beloved by the game’s community.

Within the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game, Minagawa has become a fan-favorite illustrator thanks to his distinctive interpretations of classic Final Fantasy characters.

Collectors often seek out Minagawa cards for their detailed character expressions, dynamic compositions, and the unique visual identity he brings to the Final Fantasy franchise.

Looked through my childhood collection for the first time in nearly 20 years.

Used to play competitive pokemon from roughly 2007-2010 but completely dropped the hobby and my cards sat in storage since then. Went through maybe 7-8k cards this past week and threw popular characters + everything that looked shiny into a binder.

​

(can only upload 20 pictures, but the last three pages are mainly gengar and pikachu)

Building a TCG community from zero - what I've learned after 925 visits and no established player base yet.

925 visits in 30 days. Zero registered users.

That's not a failure stat - it's an honest snapshot of where Auroria is right now, and I think it's worth talking about openly.

The platform is built. The lore map is interactive. The deck builder works. The combat mini-game runs in-browser. The forum, the shop, the roadmap - all live.

What I don't have yet is a community.

Building a TCG from scratch means you're not just making a game. You're asking people to care about a world they've never heard of, learn mechanics they've never touched, and invest time (and eventually money) into something unproven.

The only way I know how to earn that is to build in public, make the platform genuinely better than what already exists, and talk directly to the people who already love this hobby - MTG veterans, TCG collectors, lore nerds who've memorized the entire Dominaria timeline.

If that's you, I'd genuinely value your read on what Auroria is missing.

Not asking for hype. Asking for honest feedback from people who know what a good TCG platform actually needs to feel like.

What would make you bookmark a new TCG hub and actually come back?

Final Fantasy TCG Card Of The Day - Tidus

Today’s card of the day is Tidus 16-116L from Opus 16: Emissaries Of Light.

Tidus 16-116L is a disruptive Water Forward that excels at pressuring opponents who rely on blockers to stabilize the board. His inability to be blocked allows him to attack freely, creating constant damage pressure and forcing difficult defensive decisions. When he leaves the field and returns to the deck, he rewards his controller with card draw, helping maintain resources. His ability to punish opposing summons and abilities by removing an opponent’s Forward from the field also makes him an effective answer to targeted removal, giving Water decks both aggression and resilience.

Tidus is the protagonist of Final Fantasy X, a talented blitzball player from the futuristic city of Zanarkand. Thrust into the world of Spira after a mysterious attack by Sin, he finds himself far from everything he has ever known. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his journey, Tidus remains optimistic and energetic, bringing hope and humor to his companions during their pilgrimage.

Throughout the story, Tidus develops a close bond with Yuna, the summoner tasked with defeating Sin and bringing peace to Spira. As he learns more about the world’s history and his own connection to its mysteries, Tidus matures from a carefree athlete into a determined hero willing to make enormous sacrifices for those he cares about. His character arc remains one of the most memorable in the Final Fantasy series, blending adventure, romance, and personal growth into a compelling narrative.

Found my Old Cards. What should I do?

Hey everyone,
I recently found my old Pokémon card collection and started going through it. It turns out I may have found a few gems, including a Mew Gold Star (101/101) and several holo rares from the Delta Species era.
As a kid, I never actually played with my cards—I only collected them. After opening packs, I always put the cards straight into protective sleeves, so they’re generally in very good condition.
I was curious what people think what I should do with These cards. There are like 30 more cards I’d appreciate any advice or opinions. Thanks!

Card Of The Day - Cloud

Today’s card of the day is Cloud 11-127L from Opus XI: Soldier’s Return.

Cloud Strife is the protagonist of Final Fantasy VII. A spiky-haired blonde mercenary from Nibelheim, he wields the massive Buster Sword and claims to be a former elite SOLDIER. He joins Avalanche to fight Shinra’s mako exploitation while projecting a cool, detached loner vibe.

Beneath that facade, Cloud battles severe identity issues, false memories, and trauma from the Nibelheim incident. His journey with Tifa, Aerith, and others focuses on self-discovery, overcoming guilt, and confronting Sephiroth. He grows from a reluctant anti-hero into a resilient symbol of determination.

Card Of The Day - Rinoa

Today’s card of the day is Rinoa 22-036C from Opus 22 - Hidden Hope.

Rinoa (22-036C) is a low-cost Backup that shines in decks built around Squall. If you control a Card Name Squall Forward, her deployment cost is reduced by 1, allowing you to establish support more efficiently and conserve resources for larger plays. Her Break Zone ability is particularly disruptive, forcing your opponent to discard two cards when she is removed from play. This creates a valuable decision point: opponents may hesitate to remove her, while you can intentionally send her to the Break Zone through your own effects to generate hand advantage and pressure your opponent’s options.

Rinoa Heartilly is one of the central protagonists of Final Fantasy VIII and serves as the emotional heart of the game’s story. As the leader of the Forest Owls resistance group, she initially appears carefree and impulsive, but her determination to fight for her beliefs and protect those she loves reveals a strong and courageous spirit beneath her cheerful exterior.

Throughout the adventure, Rinoa develops a deep relationship with Squall Leonhart, helping him gradually open up and connect with others. Her optimism, compassion, and willingness to put herself at risk for her friends make her one of the most memorable heroines in the Final Fantasy series, while her personal struggles and growth add depth to the game’s themes of love, destiny, and human connection.
