The first card on this list is the one released most recently, which is unusual as rare and valuable Yu-Gi-Oh! cards are often older releases. In an effort to raise spirits during the COVID-19 pandemic, Konami launched the Remote Duel at Home promo, a promotional sweepstake in North America where 300 Secret Rare copies of the spell card United We Stand were handed to fortunate housebound duelists. In order to be eligible, duelists had to interact with either of the official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Twitter or Instagram accounts, providing a photo of their remote duel setup along with the hashtag #YGORemoteDuel.
The LOB card art is not the one shown in the anime. That Blue-Eyes White Dragon was released in Starter Deck Kaiba (SDK) in March 2002 where, as you may have guessed, it was the first card of the deck.
In 2002, a 14-year-old Yu-Gi-Oh! fan named Tyler Gressle was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer. Upon hearing of his ongoing battle, the wonderful Make-A-Wish Foundation stepped in to grant him a wish. Gressle chose to create his own Yu-Gi-Oh! card, which was ultimately made possible after the charity put him in contact with 4Kids Entertainment. 4Kids, who handled the North American production of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime from 2000 to 2012, gave Gressle and his father a tour of their Yu-Gi-Oh! facility in New York City in August 2005, where they unveiled the very card that he created: Tyler, the Great Warrior.

The most expensive Yu Gi Oh! card in history, this beauty is the MVP of Yu Gi Oh! cards everywhere. This one-of-a-kind stainless steel card was the exclusive prize card in the 1999 Yu Gi Oh! tournament. While it has been listed in the past for less, the highest transaction for this card was $2 million in 2013. It's not likely to ever sell for that high in the future, but it's the most significant in the list nonetheless. And for those still hoping to get their hands on it, they better start saving up!
It literally did everything, which is why the card was in the $100 range before, especially in the Link era where opponents had to Link Summon monsters to actually use their extra deck. It fell out of favor for a while with the change to Link Rules, but with Dragon Link so prevalent this card is almost a necessity again. And it can be gotten for much cheaper now, only costing $7 for a playset.
