Why are promos different from regular Yugioh cards?

Question

i got promos from video games etc. and they start to peel off as time progresses. Why does Konami make promos that are different from ones where you can get from booster packs?

Answer 1

Well, promo cards are basically cards that you can't find in booster packs and starter decks, but you can find them in specific location like the sheon jump magazine, video games and etc... That is what makes promo card unique from other normal cards.

Answer 2

Promos cards are used to promote things or are given if you participate in events (like tournaments)

For example Shonen Jump Magazine usually include promos every month, which would make more people want to buy it. Promos come in Special Edition boxes of Yugioh. Also, when the Pyramid of Light movie cam out in theaters they gave out promo packs of Yugioh.

Do you get what I'm saying?

Answer 3

its because promos are special and are given only in events. being a promo, it's valie will increase as time progresses. example, if you received a rare promo worth $20 today and kept it for, say, 5 years, the card could go for $500, depending on its rarity and condition.
