I ACCIDENTALLY Spent $7,000 At Collect-A-Con

[@pinksisraw26]

I think the signed card came out pretty nice. It fits the card well, and the colors work with it! I'm glad you did it on an MP/LP version for sure.

[@thyowen]

agreed. definitely one of the better card signings ive seen

[@danslife8326]

Getting a MP Black Rose signed was definitely the way to go. You don’t have to feel bad about having a NM signed, and it makes for a great memory of that fun event. Kudos!😊

[@Jason_Geddie]

Honestly, the best story you had is with TCA being so generous and caring enough to give yall free stuff just for the love of the TCG hobby. Thanks, Ruxin, for sharing your experience. I'm going to be going to Collect-A-Con Houston. Hope to have as great a time as you did.

[@BobCCLIV]

This video was a lot of fun. Ancient sanctuary has a beautiful box, I think it's kind of under appreciated. I definitely would like to collect the empty boxes from the 1st 11 sets even though that would take a lot of space. Not sure if you were talking about owning the empties or keeping them sealed but wow that Pharaoh's Servant box looks amazing. I wish when cards got signed they'd sign below the image, but I definitely agree that Erica made the signature look really nice with choice of colors. She does really nice ones on DMGs too I've seen.

[@OcelotOmega]

Honestly, I think that signature makes the Ghost Black Rose even better. Could just be me, but something special like that would mean more to me than just monetary value. I will admit, I am biased, Akiza is one of my favorite characters in 5Ds, but even so, the colors match the card so well, I could honestly believe that it was a special edition Konami put out, which would be pretty cool, a small collection of all the signer dragons signed by their owner's voice actor/actress.

[@chiyoleetch2041]

Getting the Blackrose signed just makes it more attractive for collectors that don’t have the opportunity to meet the voice actors or even the opportunity to go to a collectacon. You can even get it graded and authenticated.

[@alexG106]

That signed Akiza card looked like the signature was part of the card art. If I had the video on mute I would have assumed that it was a special edition black rose dragon or something. I definitely think that card will increase in value!

[@BattlePhaseCollections]

To be honest I think you opening someone else’s boxes is probably the best. The fact that you have people trusting you with their stuff and building such a cohesive positive community. I just started getting back into yu-gi-oh and your content is very welcoming.

[@YGOUnboxed]

You've spent quite a hefty sum on those products! 🤯 It's truly a delightful experience to see some of the oldest TCG items showcased in a single video! 😍 In fact, I'm gearing up to make a substantial investment in Yu-Gi-Oh sealed products myself! 😂 I've always entertained the idea of cracking these open, and recently, I've launched a youtube channel dedicated to precisely that. Who knows, it might even garner some attention..😅 Nonetheless, unboxing these products and capturing those moments on video is an absolute blast, creating lasting memories. 🤗 Now, as for the signed Black Rose Dragon, it's undeniably stunning. Although, I'm somewhat on the fence about whether I'd go for it myself! 😅

[@juannavarro8497]

Well it happens, you're like "no, I'm here to do this and this only" but then you see something crazy, get distracted... and yeah lol! Also, my favorite item has to be that signed Black Rose Dragon. I think it was a good idea, I mean signed cards are appreciated by a lot of people, and it's even more unique than the actual card itself. You can get quite a bunch of ghost rare BRDs, but you can't get that many signed ones, specially nowadays than the 5Ds anime has ended so long ago!

[@AshwinSelvakumar]

Tournament pack 6 is nuts! Ghost rare neo galaxy eyes and DaD were my favourite cards in here today. TCA Pokemon story was really cool

[@askebjerrepost183]

I think the best pickup/story here is the fact that you came with a purpose completely opposite of what you, apparently, came to do, but your love of collecting couldn't be stopped; that is true passion. I also think the signing of the Black Rose was a great decision, nothing beats a unique card. Really enjoyed the video.

[@IconicFootball-fx3we]

Very nice story from the 1st ed Ancient sanctuary booster box. Its very cool that poeple buy things for themselves and give them to you to open it.

[@vgmaster02]

Anyone who says you "ruined" that Black Rose has no heart. That is now a one-of-a-kind Black Rose you have. Pretty sure there is no other ghost rare Black Rose with dub Akiza's VA's signature on it, and the signature looks so good. She definitely has good taste in color choice. I say it was definitely worth it, and is something to hold onto now and forever.

[@jameschristensen4028]

Very entertaining, I wish you had maybe included some video of the event. Overall some amazing stuff you have there, any Yugioh enthusiast would love to have that in their collection (or like me who can't resist, open all of it). Going to a event like this and be able to buy what you like on a whim. That's a fantasy. The signed card a good idea? I don't know, but it looks fantastic and will always bring you sweet memories of a great time as well as a conversation starter that most yugioh fans would appreciate. Great video

[@kmclean03]

Rux, that signature was the biggest brain thing you could have done with that card... looks amazing to me 😍 will definitely provide some extra value. Its super aesthetic too

[@tylergob9399]

October content is about to pop off! Love the Time Wizard😍

[@Fabinho-ez4xp]

legacy of darknes first edition display is crazy, never opened this set though

[@ProdigyWright]

I was under the impression the 1996 was for the source material (manga), not the card game

[@joeb7325]

You pulled the Umbreon reaching for the moon in just 18 packs while it took Leonhart over a year for him to pull it. That has to be my favorite story.

[@Ruxin34]

Of course I didn’t record it🥲

[@southparkgangsta100]

Your "mess up" is our entertainment 😂 love all the pickups

[@MARLON2467]

Those Cards are all looking crazy beautiful, but the Black Rose signed Dragon is fire not just the card itself but in this unique way is probably even worth more now & just super cool to have or show somebody

[@Bakingcards68]

Love the signed stuff and looking forward to the childhood collection always love to see what others collected

[@grit9740]

The coolest story is you going to my town and me meeting you. That was awesome and it made my week so much better you're down to earth as hell brother keep it up

[@lucaderighetti7653]

Legacy of Darkness is probably my favorite item from the video. I had a lot of luck back in the days with that set, and Last Turn is one of the coolest card to resolve imo hahaha

[@tonywerner4440]

Favorite purchase of yours was the Magic Ruler Booster Box! Nostalgia at its best. As always, thanks for the content!

[@shknnytim]

Black rose dragon autographed card looks amazing! Signature compliments the card well.

[@spikers6669]

13:21 nice pulls. I do have the umbreon myself in a hard case.

[@keithmoores6828]

Great getting the signature on the black rose dragon that is a smart move as not many people will have a signed ghost rare from the voice actor or actress if you got all signature cards signed from each character from each series that would be a cool collection.

[@christophermcdowell6704]

That Magic Ruler box and all of the other old boxes are really cool to see! The Akiza signature really looks good on the Black Rose

[@Risad]

MTG was the first set I started collecting. I started with Mirage, which was just before Tempest, so those packs bring back a lot of memories. I hope you get earthcraft or intuition from those packs. Autograph collectors will love that card.

[@peterparker5014]

I saw the thumbnail and saw idiot, i myself said not at all. Their is no price on sentimental and what it means. Yugioh changed my life entirely and it help me bond with my brothers more and make some friends and it was my very first experience going to locals and getting to open one of the very first tournament pack was a memory ill never forget. This was the time that actually gave a pack when you. Signed up for locals. Every little memory or big memory will stay me forever. A well worth value of my childhood has no price. Im so glad they made the 25th anniversary original booster box. I did wish it was mrd but i cant complain at all. I just started watching your videos and love the content =)

[@Mmmankey]

I love these types of videos. They’re super informative and it’s also fun to hear the stories. Excited to see what was picked up in the collection!

[@Masked-Hero-Acid]

Favorite story gotta be the ancient sanctuary guy

[@4StringBassMaster]

Everything looks so mintyyy! I used to LOVE the LOD artwork, so that's probably my favorite thing, but the story about TCA Gaming is so sweet! Super generous and so nice. Really excited to see the upcoming openings!

[@consciousness4721]

Fingers crossed for seeing the childhood collection you brought tomorrow, always love seeing those.

[@Tryptamind]

Grats on the moonbreon! I once got one of those "God boxes " of blisters from my lgs and almost every pack had an ultra + rarity. And even the few that had non holo rares had white code cards, I opened about 40 and have 36 still sealed for later, but oulled my moonbreon the same way! Eventually master setted all of ES

[@evanguzman938]

That black rose is beautiful! Definitely my favorite card that you got!

[@musc16s]

Rux you big spender 💰 I'm a big fan of TCA Gaming, been following him since covid times. Incredible generosity from him 🙌

[@Billy_Wyatt]

The ghost Black Rose Dragon signed by Aki voice actor looks pretty awesome. It's indeed a great souvenir from the event you took part of Ruxin so no worries. ✅

[@ApaulloYGO]

The tidal dragon tin was my favorite on art alone, dont feel badnon the 7k, you deserve the splurge king ruxin

[@StefanDillandMarcRIP]

Breh you got moonbreon out of 9 packs? That is insane! Also, in favor of the akiza signature. It looks good, and also is a cool piece for reminder of that weekend and event.

[@derrickcollinsakaroyal626]

Ah man that legacy hobby box and the pharaoh’s servant box is insane I’d have to say it’s a toss up between the two of them for me on my top picks hoping I get to attend the Huston collectAcon in November to be able to make the same awesome scores great video as always man!

[@kingdomheart117]

That is the most beautiful BRD ghost rare! It value is priceless and I know it does have fans of the shower would love something like that in their collection and the voice actor did a awesome job to make it more memorable and her kind of art on it. That is to cool man.

[@TalonWinchester]

Cool finds! Looking forward to the Ancient Sanctuary and the childhood collection videos!

[@levito53]

The signed Black Rose was a fantastic decision, it is also a super nice signature tbh

[@redbird9911]

My favorite items are the Black Rose Dragon card and the Umbreon card. Cards that are signed by voice actors or artwork artists are definitely not damage to the card but rather a kind of trophy😍

[@sgz48]

Man, legends like Rusty TCA Gaming and cool TCG events really make me envious for not living in the US. The red and black signature really compliments the card!

[@s.plissken_91]

My favorite thing you picked up is definitely the 1st edition Legacy of Darkness box. Great box art with Last Turn as the cover.

[@paraladani]

1st Ed PSV box is the coolest pickup. What are the prices of box now compared to 2022.

[@ZackeroniAndCheese]

My favorite pickup you got was the Tactical Evolution blisters. I LOVE the Maked Beast Des Gardius!

[@chrislineberry511]

I think getting Black Rose signed was an awesome idea! Your face lit up just talking about it! Plus I think it looks bad a$$ her signature looks cool and the fact that it was in black and red makes it that much better

[@andrewlio8421]

Love the signed ghost black rose dragon and all the old school mtg booster boxes you picked up :)

[@totenkopf8814]

My favorite is definitely the signed black rose. Also hope you didn't pay to much for all those loose cards the guy sold you.

[@magic2millions]

Thanks for the shoutout! Ill set one of those tempest packs aside for you the next time we meet up!

[@DuncanMacBurger]

Oh Lord...The Yu-Gi-Oh stuff is epic...but for me those Magic packs...last year started to play again with my childhood friend after 20 years...those packs bring back so many memories. :)

[@811friday]

Legacy of Darkness was an awesome pickup. Ran the Injection Fairy Lily way back in the day.

[@ČlovekPač]

It was a really smart decidion to get a signed 1st edition black rose. It just looks so cool.❤

[@Noopcryd]

i love that black rose dragon, i’d be the one buying it if it was for sale..

[@catsponge_079]

That sinister serpent is 😗👌 I wish I could go to Collect-A-Con, but I don't think I'll be able to for a while. That Envoy of The Beginning 10 you got was my personal favorite-the Dark Revelation Vol. 2 version was the card that jumpstarted my interest in Yu-Gi-Oh.

[@Jesse31597]

I heard from those 600 error evolving skies packs 4 moonbrien were pulled...just for clarification,i watched somone open 2000 packss before they pulled 1 once.

[@JericoV]

Erica Schroeder (Akiza) has been one of my Favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! VA's.

[@evilmonarch6721]

That signed card looks absolutely incredible

[@Aries_Aria]

I'd personally never have a signed copy of a card in my deck. Personal opinion, I'd get that baby slabbed and hold onto it forever. Nothing but pure sentimental and monetary value honestly Rux. Having Erica sign that is even better.

[@drewsabilitytesting6845]

The Magic Ruler box of course is a favorite. That's incredible.

[@damiano_barbato]

You did it right. Having a signed card is pretty cool. Best purchases for me are the 1ed psv and the turbo packs

[@GateGuard]

the turbo pack 6 is without a doubt one of the coolest hauls here id love a dark armed dragon someday.

[@ryguy9664]

I did that same thing with signing a card by the gohan voice actor and man it is now my favorite card ever. So unique and glad she did it!

[@outscale_monarch4300]

Love the tactical evolution boosters just for the promo cards alone!

[@loganTwon]

I love the ancient santuary box. The art of the box is sick and the archlord of zerato is just a boss looking card.

[@sproutitoutloud]

Pharaoh's Servant booster box was my favorite that you picked up! One of the best vintage sets

[@YGO-Shant]

this type of videos make the best lunch break entertainment

[@TheLiverpoolOwen]

in my personal opinion i love signed cards, i dont care if its a common or a first ed mint card, when it comes to signed cards if your getting it signed for yourself and not planning on selling it i dont see any problem with getting expensive cards signed. i have a few signed cards, a sdy dark magican, my childhood nostalgic condition sdj red eyes, sdj scapegoat, a winged dragon of ra, revival jam, 1st ed mrl toon world, jump promo toon dark magician girl, 1st ed mrd harpie lady sisters and a lcjw harpies pet dragon. all of which mean alot to me, and sure some people might see it as defacing the cards, but i get them signed because i love the show, the cards and the VAs, having my childhood red-eyes signed means everything to me, this card is ruined, yet people who see it dont see the condition, they see the signature.

[@peterrodriguez9937]

Dude that Black Rose signed is dope hahahaha My only qualm with it is that I only watched the Subbed version, so its Aki to me instead of Akiza. Super cool!

[@johnny_s6890]

So when I went to nats, the VA for Jack Atlas was there. So I had him sign a ghost Red Dragon Archfiend. Not quite the same prior scale as that Black Rose but still really cool lol

[@guineagus9492]

Absolutely worth getting the signature on the card! It looks INCREDIBLE, especially with those hearts. Awesome picks up from the con man!

[@declanlaginestra1951]

Ancient sanctuary and magic ruler booster boxes are so nostalgic- Australia so much harder to access these old school packs

[@TRGNetwork]

The signature makes that card pop beautifully! Keep crushing Rux🙌

[@stevesRightArm2126]

First Edition Pharaoh's Servant! I love Thousand eyes and Buster Blader!

[@gibrilpolo7614]

I like the hobby boxes LOD and PSV first edition most. Very nice that you get a discount.

[@chrisbain5570]

Highlight is definitely the signed cards, really cool to see

[@nopicks275]

That 1st edition Pharoahs servant was definitely my favorite!

[@davidhartman5594]

I would definitely be interested in Shooting Majestic Star Dragon. It's one of my AND my sons favorite cards. 5D's is actually what got my son into watching and learning Yugioh with me.

[@chaimera086]

Man, the Black Rose signed is an incredibly cool collection piece! I don't think you ruined it at all, but it is something that limits options if you ever decide to divest from it. Nice haul!

[@tobparish]

You do you brother, i think the signature makes it unique and thus more collectable then it would of been. I recently got a MTG card signed by the artist which was extremely cool and i'm so happy i did it.

[@antoinedelime388]

The Time Magician and Black Luster Soldier are gorgeous.

[@karlokelava7343]

Thanks for such grind!! But don't forget to get rest when needed! ❤❤

[@beckeliasson8465]

i love all the lesser expense vintage yugioh boxes. LOD, AST the cards inside are just so unique and i lvoe them!

[@WillTNFmusic]

Love this video, good variety, good stories! Very nice

[@Akaiiro]

That tactical evolution blister really put me down that memory lane! Favorite item for sure EDIT: I LOVE THAT AKIZAS ENGLISH VOICE ACTOR SIGNATURE!!!!

[@TheBigDizz]

I was absolutely LIT when I pulled my Moonbreon 😂 I had about 20 Celebrations collection boxes that I broke down and got it from the ES packs in there!

[@189at]

Yo that titled dragon tin was hype man the art on it alone looked amazing and it’s very rare

[@paolotavera]

absolutely the signed black rose.. amazing card and impressive colors

[@austincorreia53]

That Black Rose Dragon signed by the Black Rose herself is badass!🖤🤘

[@Mikeysvge]

Magic ruler has to be the coolest buy to me personally since the name change to spell ruler! great video as always

[@ernestodeanda5251]

Crazy stuff , honestly black rose is one of the best looking cards and being moderate played I would’ve done the same thing

[@BluBerriKush420]

Wow! Such generous people in this community. Those giveaways are nuts! I like the auto, on card (no sticker), signed very well its neat, clean, red and black, looks good overall and good on card

[@imp0]

The signed card looks dope mate, but that umbreon...oooff...insane pull !

[@blaqthunder2472]

As a collector and a tcg enjoyer, everything is valued at the eye of the beholder so I think if you love the signed Blackrose then there is nothing you did wrong. I personally love it, the signature is really nice and well placed

[@gavinw9970]

I would say the signed card is my favorite part of this! It looks great and makes the card more unique than just buying a normal copy of the card for your Edison deck
