2. Tyler The Great Warrior

After the Tournament Black Luster Soldier, the second most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh card ever produced is the "Tyler The Great Warrior" card. In 2002, there was a boy named Tyler Gressle who had a rare form of liver cancer. The 14-year-old boy had to fight for his life. The Make-A-Wish foundation found out that he was a big fan of Yu-Gi-Oh. He was allowed to design his own card together with the producer of Yu-Gi-Oh. This became the "Tyler The Great Warrior" card, a total of 3 were made. The value of this card is unknown as it has not been offered on the market before. The boy Tyler Gressle beat cancer and is healthy today.
