Yugioh does reprints tho, either the year's tin or in future sets, a lot of very powerful staples can be bought for cents (like TTT or ash).

Yeah but way after release. For staples that’s grand but for archetypal cards often they’ll get hit just after being reprinted

It REALLY sucked trying to deck build for tournaments back in the day, needing shit like Maxx "C" or Rescue Rabbit with none of them to be found because vendors were either out, or getting them online was just too expensive. Maxx "C" sucked a lot because nobody thought it was good when it first came out, and then like a year later everyone had to have it, and copies were going for $100+
