TCG was fun before they went crazy with the OP cards and card strategy. All the rich kids, or the really lucky ones would dominate the normal guys like me .-.
You know, yugioh these days aren't for little kids anymore. That is if the kid is hella rich dropping money just like that for a single card. I mean come on, $40 for an Elemental Hero Absolute Zero? My friend sold 2 of them the other day to this guy for $80 and he was like that's a good offer.
I remember that my friend got a "Gold edition" of the "Crush card" that was worth 'bout...a lot. That was back then. I myself rarely ever got a card that's worth more than 15$.
