Chapter 428 Rare Value (for Subscription)
The popularity of the first volume of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga booklet exceeded Nan Tong's and Gu Miao's imagination.

before this.

The estimated sales volume reported by Nantong to Gu Miao is about 5 to 10 copies.After all, this is only the first volume, and the initial sales will definitely not be too high.

After this comic series has a certain influence, the second and third volumes may have good sales.

But no one thought...

It's just the first single-volume manga, and it's selling so well in bookstores and newsstands everywhere?In just one week, it was reprinted three times in a row, and the total sales exceeded 20.

This is also selling too hot!
If it continues to sell like this, the sales volume of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga booklet in the first month may not be heading for 100 million.

What is the concept of monthly sales of millions of copies?
best seller? !Shit!
No bestseller can do it. Such an exaggerated sales data can't even be compared with the recent popular youth pain literature.

of course!

The sales are so hot, behind it is actually the credit of the student group "word of mouth".Out of curiosity, Gu Miao also visited several surrounding schools to investigate.

It seems that the manga "Yu-Gi-Oh" is really popular in school, especially boys, who are basically discussing the content of the manga.

It seized the student market and became a popular trend on campus. It is no wonder that the sales of comics are not high.

And this is on the premise that some students like to "borrow" other people's comics and don't like to buy books to read by themselves.

If students, instead of borrowing comic books from their classmates, choose to buy one to read, the sales will only be higher, and it is estimated that they will all reach the top of the annual bestseller list.

I can only say it's a pity!
Gu Miao sighed at the trend brought about by the "Yu-Gi-Oh" comics, but was also curious about one thing.

Many copies of the manga have been sold.

So as a core derivative of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" card, has anyone bought it and played it?

"Yes, and many."

Mr. He of Wanbao Toys had a smile on his face.After hearing Mr. Gu's doubts, he said with a bright smile: "Our cards were originally intended to be sold together with comic books, that is, when you buy comic books, you will get a bag of cards."

This is normal.

Because at the beginning, no one was sure how big the market size of this unique card would be?To be conservative, selling comic books together is the most correct choice.

But the result was unexpected.

With the popularity of comics, more and more people began to ask, where can I buy the "summon monster" card in the comics.

Driven by profit, Wanbao Toys printed a batch of Yu-Gi-Oh cards with the idea of ​​“trying it out” and made them into card packs worth 10 yuan a bag, and sold them in small batches in some dealer stores.

This batch of card packs was snapped up by enthusiastic comic readers and sold out quickly.

Reprint!Keep printing!
In order to satisfy hungry and thirsty consumers, Wanbao Toys subsequently carried out multiple batches of reprinting.

As of July 4.

Mr. He told Gu Miao that the sales of Wanbao Toys had exceeded 500 million yuan only in the "card bag" business.

This also means that while the comics are popular across the country, 50 bags of derivative card toys have also been sold.

Just outrageous!
In Lao He's original words, someone would buy a piece of thin paper that costs only a few cents for one yuan.This kind of sales data is simply picking up money with sacks.

"It's not enough to pick up money in a sack."

Gu Miao waved her hand and said with a smile, "But this thing is cheap, so it's really a huge profit."

"That's right, Mr. Gu!"

When it comes to the peripheral derivatives of "Yu-Gi-Oh" comics, that is, the game card of the same name as Yu-Gi-Oh, Lao He quickly explained: "When making the cards, we didn't have time to distinguish between rarity and value. What do we need to do?"

Rarity distinction?

Gu Miao stroked her chin and thought for a while, then said, "This is where the printing process needs to be upgraded, and more patterns should be made on the card surface."

"That kind of gold card and silver card, I believe you can't be hard. The key point is that kind of flashing process on the card surface, can it be made now?"

"You can try."

Old He pondered: "In terms of difficulty, it's actually not particularly high. The main reason is to do this kind of card face processing, and the cost will increase a lot, so the price..."

"The price doesn't matter."

"This kind of rare card can't print a few copies. Strictly control the packing rate of rare cards and common cards, and the price can remain unchanged."

After saying this, Gu Miao paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, then added: "Oh, that's right!"

"In addition to the normal way of distinguishing the rarity of the card surface, you can also make another way of distinguishing the rarity."

"How to distinguish?"

"Try to print as few monster cards as possible that have special value or great significance." Worried that Lao He wouldn't understand the meaning, Gu Miao specifically pointed out, "For example, the blue-eyed white dragon must not be rotten on the street!"

"I hope that the blue-eyed white dragon can maintain its status. No matter what it becomes in the future, this card is still rare. Only one or two out of ten people have it..."

This is also Gu Miao's bad taste.

In the "Yu-Gi-Oh" animation, and in the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga, the first monster card that readers and viewers come into contact with is [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] that was certified as a "rare card" by the original Takahashi Kazuki.

For this card, Haima even ran to rob Yugi's grandfather and tore up his [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] to ensure that the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] card in his hand was unique.

This episode left a deep impression on Gu Miao.

He felt it then.

Fuck!Is the blue-eyed white dragon so powerful?How could Haima, the young master of a big consortium, do such a "shameless" thing?

It can be said that the card that Gu Miao longed for the most when she was a child was the Blue-Eyed White Dragon.

And this kind of desire, he didn't realize until he grew up that he had been deceived when he was a child, whether it was the blue-eyed white dragon or the three phantom gods, it didn't seem to be a particularly rare card?
Do not misunderstand!
The rarity he mentioned refers to the rarity of ordinary cards, not the version with special card surface treatment such as gold card flash.

In the animation, only Haima has three blue-eyed white dragons, and the three phantom gods are extremely rare.

But in reality...

It's really meow, but every card player has the blue-eyed white dragon and the three magic gods.Although it's not a particularly rare gold card or silver card, he at least has it!
Who does this make sense to?

Gu Miao, who was deceived by the animation plot, suffered a huge blow to her young heart.To use Internet buzzwords, that is the state of "has been blackened".

Now that he has the opportunity to personally formulate the rarity and rarity classification method of "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards, Gu Miao will certainly not let go of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon].

Not to mention meeting the standard in anime and manga, where there are only three copies in the world, and all of them are in Kaima's hands...

At least it can't be a bad street. Out of ten people, only one or two people own it at most. This is the most suitable rarity.

　Zhuo!I don't know who it is. When filling out the epidemic prevention registration form, I filled in the phone number and name as mine. I was stunned when I received the call from the village...
