Why are First Edition yu-gi-oh cards more expensive than Unlimited Edition cards?
The First Edition cards are more expensive because there are fewer of them. They only make one First Edition release and after that it's all unlimited. Fewer copies of something makes it more rare and hence, more valuable.
