Yu-Gi-Oh Cards – $1K

Japanese manga illustrator Kazuki Takahashi created the game “Duel Monsters,” which inspired the Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards. Konami launched it in 1999 in Japan and made its way to North America by 2002. It was a massive hit across the globe that it managed to sell 22 billion cards as of 2009, which became the reason it was awarded a Guinness World Record.

To this day, the cards, albeit in newer versions, are produced and distributed. As of 2021, the number of cards sold has reached 35 billion. However, the first release card can be bought for $1K.
