Wow. Dork check– know what I did last night? I started cataloging my Yu-Gi-Oh card collection to appraise them and start selling on Ebay. Mmmhmm, I played Yu-Gi-Oh. In my defense, it was my ex who dragged me into it. It was really just something else I could share with him, but of course, I got caught up in it as well. Now, for those that don’t know, Yu-Gi-Oh can be likened to Magic, and Pokemon. Most people see it as a kids’ game, but it’s actually a really complicated strategy game. Anyone who’s seen young adults play, and then a group of kids play, quickly realizes that the kids tend to make up their own rules, or just toss out the complicated ones. They’ll throw down any card regardless of star level or stipulations put on the card. It’s kinda cute, but frustrating when you’re trying to play with your cousin who’s 8 years younger than you 
Anyway, I’m a pack rat. I really am. And a nostalgia freak to boot, so it’s always hard for me to throw things out, but since I moved into this cramped apartment, I’ve been finding it easier and easier. I’ve been meaning to appraise my cards for a long time now so I can sell them off while there’s still a market for them. I ended up staying awake until 6am entering cards into the CardShark database. As of right now, I’ve got about 1200 cards entered at about a $600 value. I’m almost done, I just have to enter in my more prized cards which should add a considerable bit to my total. The current appraisal is actually before taking into consideration the 200+ cards I own that are 1st edition. I’ll have to go through and do a little more research on those before I come up with my final assessment. After that I’ll probably be breaking the set up into sets, or maybe rarities and listing them on Ebay. I have a few cards I plan to list individually. I’ve got a ridiculous amount of money invested into this set. I don’t even want to think how much. If I get as much as I want to out of this, I’ll probably be breaking even!
This will be my first time selling on Ebay so if anyone has any pointers, send ‘em my way!
