""At the time, I assumed he had won it from a tournament," Nick told 404. "I assumed it was obtained legitimately.""
""Man I've made over $60,000 off these f****** Yu-Gi-Oh cards out of the trash," the seller wrote in a Facebook post. "I'm fixing to go take a video of where I got these hoes from and let you hold it on that now you all pay the premium price.""
""Generally it's not worth the fury from a litigious Konami, who could cut off their supply or bar stores from hosting tournaments.""
""From what 404 could gather, including details about the seller's mother and statements from friends, the cards were likely discovered in Dallas, Texas, near a factory belonging to Cartamundi.""
Rare uncut Yu-Gi-Oh card sheets appeared on market sites and were presented as legitimate, but seller behavior raised questions about how the cards were acquired. A buyer paid $1,000 for an uncut sheet of Blue Eyes Silver Dragon, assuming it came from a tournament and was obtained legitimately. Uncut cards and misprints can sometimes be sent out by mistake, and stores may keep them if they are not worth legal risk. The seller’s posts and inconsistent responses suggested the cards were found in trash, with claims of making over $60,000 from discarded cards. Evidence gathered pointed to Dallas, Texas, near a Cartamundi printing facility contracted by Konami.
