Top 10 Trading Cards in My eBay Store Right Now
People ask me all the time where the cards from my videos actually end up. The answer is my eBay store - every card I pull on the channel, every box a viewer ships me to sell for them, every weird import that follows me home from AliExpress. It’s the real backbone of this whole operation, and honestly most of you have never poked around in there.
A quick word on the store itself, since plenty of you are new here. It’s been running for over a year and a half now, with 1,200+ sales and 100% positive feedback - and if you’ve ever sold cards, you know that last number is not an easy one to keep clean. There are 500+ active listings at any given time and I add more every few days.
I also take the boring-but-important part - storage and shipping - genuinely seriously. It starts with the gloves I’m wearing while I open the cards on camera; everything gets sleeved the second it comes out of the pack. Every single order ships in at least a top loader inside a cardboard mailer, and anything over $20 in value goes in a bubble mailer, usually with a few extras tossed in (free packs and the like). These are the same cards I geek out over in the videos - they get treated like it.
So let’s get to it. This is a countdown of the ten cards I think are the coolest things sitting in the store right now. It is not a “most valuable” list - some of these are six bucks. It’s not even strictly my most-viewed listings, though a few of these have racked up a surprising number of eyeballs. It’s just ten cards I’d want to show a friend, with the lore behind each one and a link straight to the listing if it grabs you. A couple are from sets I’ve written full articles on, so I’ll point you there too.
Quick note before we start: everything here is live and unsold as of right now, but cards move, so if one of these is the one, don’t sit on it.

#10 — The Attack on Titan “Pizza Hut” Card
We’re opening with the one I genuinely cannot figure out. It’s an Attack on Titan foil card (SR-47) where the Colossal Titan is chowing down on a slice while Eren and Mikasa zip in on their ODM gear - a riff on the very real Pizza Hut Japan x Attack on Titan collaboration from 2013. Is it an official campaign card or a doujin tribute? I have stared at it and I honestly can’t tell. That uncertainty is exactly why I’ve got it priced at a silly $9 - if it turns out to be official, it’s worth a lot more than that. Either way it’s one of the funniest pieces of anime-card art I own.

#9 — Gundam E.F.S.F. Gold Coin Card
This is a MAX-rarity card from the same incredible LeCard Gundam set we’ll get to at #1, and it’s got a trick to it: that’s a real embedded gold-colored coin (not actual gold) stamped with the Earth Federation Space Force insignia, and the card is serialized to just 111 copies. Here’s the fun part - because the coin makes it physically heavy, anyone who weighs boxes before opening them already knows this card is inside. That means almost nobody pulls these “blind” outside of Asia; they get sniffed out by vendors first. Finding one loose in the West is genuinely tough. It’s $30, and it’s part of one of the best Gundam sets ever printed.
#8 — Spider-Man 60th Anniversary “QR” Chibi
Something a little more accessible. This is a “QR” (chibi) card from Zhenka’s officially licensed Spider-Man 60th Anniversary set - a legitimately Marvel-licensed product that sold in China a few years back, and one of the most fun sets I’ve covered. I wrote up the whole set here. The chibi rarity is one of the most popular looks in the set, but it wasn’t actually that rare to pull, so I can let this one go for $12. For context, the higher-tier cards from this same set routinely sell for $100+. A great, cheap way to own a piece of a set people love.
#7 — The My Neighbor Totoro Gold Coin
Okay, now the lore gets good. This is the top hit of its set - the single highest tier you can pull - a My Neighbor Totoro card with an embedded gold-colored medallion (Totoro and the soot sprites), serial numbered 040/188. Same heavy-coin curse as the Gundam: if you weigh boxes, you know it’s in there. So the only way to pull one of these legitimately is to either buy a case (where you can’t pre-weigh individual boxes) or get a vendor who genuinely doesn’t know what they’re shipping. The more common silver version is serialized to 499 and sells for $300; this rarer gold one is listed at $400, currently on sale for $300 - which sounds wild until you understand the provenance. And the provenance is airtight: I pulled this one live on the channel, on camera, from the exact box and set.
#6 — The Digimon Snow Globe Card
This thing is wild for about three separate reasons. One: it’s a trading card that is also a snow globe - the card is sealed inside an acrylic case filled with liquid and this gorgeous purple glitter, so when you tip it, HerculesKabuterimon looks like he’s floating through a sea of cosmic energy. (I have video of the snow effect.) Two: it’s freaking HerculesKabuterimon. Three: it was the top chase card of a beloved doujin Digimon set that sold a ton - but almost entirely in Asia, and that box weighed a ton, so the odds of one surfacing in the West are unfathomable. Good luck completing the set. This one’s a consignment card - I’m selling it on behalf of a viewer who sent me their collection - listed at $45.
#5 — A Lot of Arale (Akira Toriyama Tribute)
A deep cut for the real ones. This is a lot of four foil Arale Norimaki cards (LD-002, LD-003, LD-006 and LD-007) from a doujin set paying tribute to Akira Toriyama - the man who gave us both Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball. All four are bright, holographic, and full of that classic Arale energy, and the whole lot is $6. That’s the cheapest thing on this list by a mile, and probably the easiest yes if you’ve got a soft spot for Toriyama’s pre-Dragon Ball weirdness.
#4 — Gundam Freedom from Mechanical Story
A promo (PR) card of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam, on a stunning gold cracked-ice holo finish - and it comes from one of my favorite doujin sets, period. Mechanical Story is published by little frog, the same studio behind the wildly popular Goddess Story cards, and when I covered it I argued it might be better than the official Gundam Duel cards. That’s how good the art is. I’ve got this promo listed at $33.75.
#3 — The One Piece “Case Prize” Nami
Now we’re into the metal cards - the trend I think is the most exciting thing in the hobby right now, and the subject of my full One Piece metal card case break. This one is extra special, because it’s a Case Prize. That means it isn’t a standard card in the set at all - the only way to get one is to buy an entire sealed case, and even then which prize you receive is randomized. So if you want a specific case prize, you’d better be ready to buy a lot of cases. It’s an oversized, panoramic Nami with a hand-applied rhinestone border, serial 09/35, and it’s a heavy slab of a thing. This is literally a prize from the exact case I opened in that article. $30.
#2 — The One Piece Card eBay Hasn’t Flagged (Yet)
This is another One Piece heavy metal card (code ND NO-006, serial 52/60) from that same booming metal card category - thick, embossed, framed in green-and-gold. It is also, by some distance, the most NSFW card I have ever listed. It’s a “forbidden fruit” / Garden of Eden waifu piece, and to show it to you on a family-friendly blog I had to deploy the hot pink Hearts of Modesty:
…and yeah, that’s most of the card under there. Here’s the genuinely funny part, though: somehow, against all odds, eBay has not flagged the actual (un-hearted) listing. If you want to see what doujin sets are getting away with these days, it’s exactly one click away - you’ve been warned. Real, serialized metal card. $30.
#1 — The RX-78-2 Die-Cut from LeCard
My number one. This is a die-cut foil card of the legendary RX-78-2 - the original Gundam, the one that started all of it - card ZR-018 from LeCard’s Gundam Sentinel fan-art set (Series 3). It’s a rounded die-cut with a brilliant foil background and gorgeous retro-broadcast “TV test pattern” art. (The back is just as slick - a Gundam Sentinel mech head with circuit detailing.) LeCard has put out three series of these so far, and I’ll say it flatly: it is one of the best Gundam sets ever produced, official or otherwise. I loved them enough to write a whole “trading card royalty” piece on them. I pulled this exact card on stream, and it’s somehow only $22.40.
Shop the Whole Store
That’s the ten - but it’s a tiny slice of what’s in there. The Trading Card Archives eBay store is where everything from the channel lands: doujin Gundam, the whole metal-card wave, licensed imports, single hits and cheap lots alike. Every card is something I (or a viewer who trusts me) actually pulled, photographed, and can tell you the story behind - that’s the whole point of buying from a collector instead of a faceless listing.
And if you grab one of these, you’re directly supporting the channel that hunts this stuff down in the first place. So go browse the store, and if you haven’t yet, subscribe on YouTube so you catch these cards the moment they get pulled - because the best ones never make it to a top-10 list. They sell first.
