"the Great Warrior Taylor" is a card in the card game "Game King". Its effect is mediocre and the number is not outstanding. But in the past 20 years, this card has been talked about by players, once won the "rarest card" praise, the reason is that the story behind this card moved everyone-this is a unique card for a cancer teenager.

In 2001, the then-14-year-old Taylor Gressel (Tyler Gressle) suffered from extremely rare cancer, and his symptoms were no more than 200 recorded cases across the United States. In order to give the little boy the courage and strength to overcome the disease, the charity Make A Wish has partnered with the American publisher of Game King to customize the only card in the world for the child who loves Game King.

Fortunately, Taylor met an experienced doctor, and with the efforts of everyone, he miraculously recovered and regained his former health, and "the Great Warrior Taylor" has been preserved today. it has become a story in the game king circle.

In the years that followed, there was nothing new about Taylor or his card, and it was widely believed that he was just living a normal life-until March 24, when Taylor, who had been out of the ring for a long time, reappeared in a video from tubing anchor Cimoooooooo, handed over the card that encouraged him to the regular review agency, and announced that it would be put on the auction platform next month.

Taylor shared with you a lot of secrets before the release of the card in the interview video of Cimoooooooo, and let us know his mental journey over the years. According to Taylor himself, his wish was to have a Porsche, but considering the age limit of driving, he chose to make a card. Out of his love for Dragon Ball Z, Taylor commissioned an illustrator to design a number of concept maps, which were finally completed by the original authors Takahashi and Xi, and the Great Warrior Taylor was published.

Although Taylor has not played Game King for many years, the Great Warrior Taylor has always been by his side. In fact, Taylor's life is not well-off. He faced an unemployment crisis as early as 2015 and was forced to sell his house to pay his debts. At that time, he also received the news of a high price, and the offer was "very attractive", but Taylor put up with it at that time. Recently, the weight of life was too heavy for Taylor to bear. This time, he finally opened the card that had been sealed for 20 years.

In order to prepare for the auction, Taylor chose to send the card to a professional institution to verify its authenticity and preservation. Unfortunately, the legendary card received a rating of only 7 out of 10 on the rating agency BGS, a slightly embarrassing score that may affect subsequent valuations, which somewhat lowers its value, given the uniqueness of the card itself.

Defeated the great warrior of cancer, but was defeated by a disease called life. When the fairy tale behind the card becomes unparalleled, the value of the Great Warrior Taylor itself is open to question. At the same time, from a realistic point of view, the European and American game king market has passed its peak, and the recent card price continues to decline. In such an environment, Taylor may not be able to get the offer he wants.

But in any case, the card was born to help Taylor. At that time, it inspired Taylor to overcome cancer, now it once again let Taylor out of trouble, after 20 years to protect the Lord again, "the Great Warrior Taylor" is also a good realization of its value.
