Yugioh came out in 2002 and it's primary audience at the time was kids to teens. The big strike against this getting to the half million dollars like that one Black Lotus sold for is that I don't think there are enough middle aged people with a ton of money targeting Yugioh cards to get it that high. If he had done this in 2020-2021 when crypto was booming and super high end TCG cards were getting bought for insane amounts of money, he probably could have made double that for this. My guess is the card ends up selling for low 6 figures- maybe $150K. The actual number grades on this is a little weird though- it came out as a 7, but it also is the only copy of the card in existence, so does it really matter? Additionally, just proving that this card still "exists"- and that he didn't die a year after receiving it and the item vanished into the void, for example- is really important for a 1-of-1 item like this. Considering the card went directly into the container when he got it and came out of it damaged, the previous casing was probably not doing great stuff to the card. Getting the card authenticated and slabbed was also a good idea, though I don't know about actually grading it. He's also a man in his 30s now instead of a kid- a Yugioh trading card probably doesn't mean as much to him anymore as it did 20 years ago. I've only watched about half the video, but he flat-out says that at the time he "wanted a Porsche, but was told they couldn't do it because he couldn't drive", and this was a second choice for him, but he obviously was happy with it and how it turned out and getting to meet all the voice actors for the show when he got the card. and were given a tour of the Yu-Gi-Oh! facility. Tyler and his family were also invited to New York City to meet with officials from 4Kids Entertainment Inc. His detailed drawing depicts a warrior deflecting an evil monster's terrible weapons. "All I needed was a pencil and my imagination," Tyler said. The foundation's goal is to present each child, along with their family, with a happy experience to help them feel normal in the midst of a difficult time. The Make-a-Wish Foundation learned of Tyler and his family's battle and gave him the chance to design his own Yu-Gi-Oh! card for 4Kids Entertainment Inc. "We want other families to know they can have hope, and wishes do come true." Tyler had another wish fulfilled. "After a long, hard battle, Tyler is perfectly healthy now," his mother said. Fortunately, his doctor had seen a case once before and had been successful in treating the patient. The surgeon removed 25 percent of Tyler's liver, about 6 inches of large intestine and his gall bladder. During surgery, the doctors discovered that the mass had burst, which caused the terrible pain. His parents took him to the doctor, then to a surgeon. It was discovered when he complained of pain. In October 2002, he was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer called undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma. Tyler Gressle, 14, knows a lot about being a warrior.
