How Much Are Rare UniVersus and UFS Cards Worth?
The value of UniVersus and UFS cards can vary depending on several factors, such as the card’s rarity, the set it belongs to, and its condition. Although there are exceptions, UniVersus cards rarely cost more than $20 US dollars.
For instance, in the My Hero Academia Collectible Card Game (MHACCG), an Extra Rare (XR) card like “All Might” can be worth around $11, while a card like “Midnight” can be worth as much as $500. On the other hand, a Common (C) card like “20 Meter Tongue Strike” might only be worth $0.25.
In the UniVersus Universal Fighting System Promos, some cards like “Fiddlestix (Champion Batch V Promo)” and “Judgment Day (Champion Batch V Promo)” can be worth around $7.00 and $12.00 respectively.
What Makes UniVersus Cards Valuable?
- Rarity
- Condition
- TGC Market Demand
The rarer the card, the higher its potential value. Rare cards are often sought after by collectors and players alike, making them more valuable in the market.
The physical state of the card significantly impacts its worth. Cards in mint or near-mint condition are usually worth more than those showing signs of wear or damage.
The overall demand for Universus cards in the trading card game (TCG) market can also affect a card’s value. High demand for a particular card can drive up its price.
Different factors affect the market demand for each card. For example, one card may play exceptionally well in a specific game format, thus it would be desired by players.
The current meta is often the most important driving force in the market. If a card is frequently used in winning strategies, it may be more sought after and thus more valuable.
How To Find UniVersus Card Prices Step By Step
- Identify the Card
- Determine the Card’s Condition
- Look up your card on eBay’s Sold Listings
The first step in determining the value of your UniVersus card is to identify it. This involves knowing the name of the card, its rarity, and the set it belongs to. It also helps to know how important it is to the current meta.
Next, assess the condition of your card. Is it in mint condition, or does it show signs of wear and tear? For obvious reasons, cards in better condition will generally be worth more.
Here is the condition scale used when buying/selling cards:
- Near mint (NM)
- Lightly played (LP)
- Moderately played (MP)
- Heavily played (HP)
- Damaged (DMG)
One way to get an idea of what your card might be worth is to check completed sales on eBay. Look up your card’s name and filter the results by checking the “Sold Listings” box. If you can’t find your card, look for cards that are similar to yours in terms of both identity and condition.
There might be additional factors that can affect the value of your card. For example, cards from older sets (such as those from the Universal Fighting System era before jasco rebranded to UVS Games) or rare editions might be worth more.
Expensive Cards To Look For
- One For All: Full Cowling 5% Strike (XSR)
- Nitro Explosion: Ignition (XSR)
- Selkie (Promo)
Although not usually the case, some rare UniVersus cards can become significantly valuable. This is true for the One For All: Full Cowling 5% Strike (XSR) and Nitro Explosion: Ignition (XSR) My Hero Academia Cards.
Both ‘One For All: Full Cowling 5% Strike’ and ‘Nitro Explosion: Ignition’ are classified as Extra Secret Rare (XSR) cards. Selkie is a promotional character card. Promo cards are typically distributed during special events or with specific products, often making them quite rare.
Understanding how rarity works in UniVersus can provide valuable insight into your card’s potential value, saving you time in your research.
Where To Sell Your UniVersus Cards
In this hobby, you generally have two choices. Either you sell locally to other people interested in the same TCG, or you list your card online.
Local options include selling directly to people through Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist or even your local card shops. The success of these methods can depend mainly on the popularity of the hobby in your area. It will affect how much you might end up getting for each card.
Online platforms offer a wider reach and potentially higher returns. Here are a couple of options you might want to consider:
Final Thoughts
Assessing the value of your UniVersus cards may require some time and research, but the effort can be rewarding, especially if you discover that you possess a couple of valuable cards.
Always keep your cards in good condition to preserve their monetary value but also their sentimental value to you as a collector. While a single UniVersus card is probably not be worth a lot of money, the cumulative value of your collection could be significant.
And remember, the worth of a card isn’t solely determined by its market price. The joy of collecting, the thrill of the game, and the satisfaction of owning a rare card often transcend its monetary value.
Especially when its monetary value is up to 20 dollars.
