Question
Hello while i was going trought my attic i found a lot of yugioh cards from legend of the blue eyes metal raiders and the very first starter decks of yugi and kaiba. How much does soul exchange sell for if it is the original magic card that is magic instead of saying spell becuase my freind will give me 3 card tropper for the 5 soul exchange that i have also 5 card destruction should i do it? Where could i get a crush card virus for sale my freind has it and he says that it is worth about $1000 is it really worth that much?

Answer
Yes, an SJC Crush Card Virus -- not the Japanese one, but SJCS-EN004, the English Version, is worth about $2,000.

Soul Exchange is jank.  If your friend is stupid enough to give you 3 real Card Trooper for 5x Soul Exchange and 5x Card Destruction, do it.

Expertise

ON VACATION indefinitely. I have not had the chance to be competitive as of lately as there are no Regionals in the area and my work schedule has kept me from traveling out of state. If I expect to be more than a couple of months I will try to see if I can appoint a new guru for the category. My apologies to those seeking to ask me questions, but I am nowhere near as much help as I would like to be right now.
