KONAMI’s Yu-Gi-Oh booth was a hot ticket stop for New York Comic Con 2024 attendees this year. Fans kept the booth busy nonstop from Thursday through Sunday buying merchandise, looking at displays, creating custom Token Cards, and, of course, playing the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME.
Yu-Gi-Oh is a robust, long-running, and ever-expanding franchise that, after the launch of Kazuki Takahashi’s 1996 manga series, has since evolved into multiple television series, several video games, the iconic TRADING CARD GAME, and more.
When we asked our trusty KONAMI guide (who’s been playing Yu-Gi-Oh since he was 11!) what his most valuable card is after collecting for such a long period of time, he had the best possible answer. “Oh they’re all valuable to me,” he said with a smile, “It’s not about the value of the card, it’s about what it means to you. And that’s something you learn from the very first episode of Yu-Gi-Oh, actually.”
