I'm here to stand up for the premium gold rare cards. I think they look cool and the texturing is nice. They're usually the cards most commonly remarked (positively) on by people who look at my binder. To each their own, but I think they're neat!

15:41 Disregarding the golds is silly. I love golds because its one of the very few ways to have border foiling. Finding clean copies of the maximum gold style golds is actually pretty tricky because many come chipped or printed with too much ink. I love how they have the raised lines in the art. Well worth the search

@REIDAE 11 ай бұрын

The gold rare is silly. They look like someone took a common and stuck dollar store crafts section shiny crap on it. I'd rather take a common over this mess that looks like it was exclusively made to attract kids who think more shiny=more cool

17:49 - I once saw a PSA 10 Duel Terminal Preview Blue-Eyes listed for $40K on TCGPlayer during the coronaboom. Seller said he would personally drive and hand-deliver it if the buyer was within a 200-mile radius of him. Crazy stuff haha. 27:53 - the Spell of Mask and Labyrinth of Nightmare Ulti OCG reprints of Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician are like the DDS prints' big siblings. Equally collectible, incredibly sharp, almost as valuable.

There's the World Championship JPP sets -- in 2018 they released a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician in a black envelope with shiny red stamp given out at OTS stores to celebrate the World Championship. Each envelope contained both cards, and the cards were individually sealed in plastic (also with the Yugioh World Championship 2018 logo on it). There were 2 envelopes given to each OTS store across the US and were supposed to be raffled away, though some stores would use 1 of the envelopes as prizes for 1st place. They did the same thing in 2019 but the stamped envelopes were gold stamped and had Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Monster Reborn. The cards are Japanese and in hieroglyphic secret rare (I think BEWD and DM have red name text though). The secret rare is a strange kind of prismatic secret, and there's a glitter accent that spans across the entire card. The attribute and level are foil, which is at this point normal. You also can see hieroglyphic text subtly span across the entire card depending on the angle you shine it at. On the bottom right of the 2019 envelope, it says, "One of 9000." I'm not sure what the 2018 one says, because I don't have that one.

I had my DDS Blue Eyes, Dark Magician, and Exodia stolen when I was a kid. Still mad at my younger self for being so carless with such goregeous cards. I also pray daily that the person who stole them from me stubs their toe.

@nathansinghal5598 24 күн бұрын

I had the Japanese Kaiba Structure Deck Volume 1. It had three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in common rarity. Each of the three had text in a different language, and there were at least two different art styles among them (LOB and anime). That was a long time ago, maybe before 2000, and I stopped collecting cards shortly after the 2004 movie packs with Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon were released; however, seeing the Kaiba deck from Legendary Decks 2 reminds me of that Japanese deck and has been tempting me to get it out of nostalgia. I think collecting full sets and card variants are equally valid, but I'd prioritize cards that look good and/or play well over collectability.

I think LOB unlimited Blue Eyes should be a recommended collectible AS LONG AS it is a graded 2002 copy. They’ve reprinted LOB a lot throughout the years such as in Legendary Collection 1 with the updated holo that takes away from the OG vintage feel. But a PSA/BGS that says 2002 on it is a very nice looking card for a small fraction of the cost for 1st ed.

This was a great list, but there are still some missing such as the Rush Duel Blue Eyes which has really good artwork in my opinion including two different rarities last I checked. Plus the LDS2 Blue/Green/Purple Ultra Rares which look amazing next to the DL09 ones. Also worth mention is the PGL2 Tablet Blue Eyes. A note for the movie Blue Eyes-it came in 4 different rarity printings for MVP1 which is the Ultra, Secret, Gold, and Gold Secret. Additionally, I think the Japanese parallel rares for some of the Blue Eyes are really cheap but unique copies to pick up. I have a few more obscure but cool Blue Eyes cards including the English and Japanese Dungeon Dice Monsters Blue Eyes plus a few others that were limited promotional runs. Lastly, the Dice Master Blue Eyes are just a fun variant to collect. Very cool list, I actually learned of a few new Blue Eyes cards I didn't have so thanks so much!

You should also talk about the layout of the cards too. I mean, the so called "series". For example the DDS is series 3 (small text box, small artwork and small name box) and the adidas dark magician you mention is series 10 (huge text box, huge artwork, huge and defined text box and as you mentioned holo stars and atribute). That changes the look of a card A LOT and can be a factor in how someone wants their cards

25:50 The artwork used here is the very first time Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared in any media. Drawn by Kazuki Takahashi himself in the 2nd chapter of the original manga. It is one of the coolest artworks for this card in my opinion because it was the very first time we ever got to see Kaiba summon this dragon. Honestly, kind of disrespectful towards the art.

Clicked on this video so fast! Been highly anticipating this one! You probably already know from my previous comments that I am a Blue-Eyes collector. Love the card and everything about it. I’m still missing some here and there, but I’m getting closer. The problem coming up is affording the more expensive ones. Haha. Fortunately, I got DDS. Heavily played, but looks great from a surface level. Already secured my TCG KC Briefcase. Can’t wait for that and the slabs you made for them. There were a few Blue-Eyes cards you missed mentioning I noticed. Like the other “Earth” reprint (LCKC-EN001) version which shared its code with three other Blue-Eyes in that set. But of course, mentioning EVERY card was not the purpose of the video. Haha. Very curious what you think about the OCG (AC02-JP000) Starlight Blue-Eyes anime art that was printed in English. I was fortunate getting one and it looks gorgeous! Btw, for those reading this, GET THE BLUE RAIN SLEEVES! They are so good! They really make my Blue-Eyes cards pop so well!
