Anthony be like: “I knew yugioh youtuber would be weird but not this weird”

[@numberoneappgames]

haha

[@chuifongtam4703]

I think Sam has two personalities, one is his real personality and another is a more energetic one he uses for his videos. Im pretty sure Sam talked to Anthony before filming this video and Anthony knew how nice and genuine Sam is.

Literally Grandpa's card shop! 😍 Love niche little yugioh stores like these! Good find Sam! Also to the editor, the music was absolutely perfect thank you!

Well.. it was owned by a mom at one point. So.... Grandma's card shop technically.

[@rexwu7849]

He confused Anthony

[@matthewnahanee4676]

Anthony is super chill and a really nice guy. he seems confused a lot because of his language barrier he has to process what we say in English. hes very smart and kind. I got there to duel and attend locals only local I attend actually.

I drove over 700 miles to go to the card shop in Las Vegas you made a video about two years ago. It was definitely worth the drive.

[@lanceknightmare]

If you want quality do not purchase from any place which does not have their cards behind glass. If you do you are purchasing cards which have been malled by children.

I just recently started watching your videos but stayed because you remind me of my friend that passed away recently. Your content and personality have helped me get through this time. Keep being yourself.

sorry to read that, praying you get through it >.< Sam and Yugioh always help me feel more positive too

How did he die

[@jonesparza2323]

So cool you let him open packs with you. That's like %50 of the fun of trading cards. Whenever I host card tourneys I always try and get a box and charge $5 to play and you're guranteed at least 2 packs

My elementary school was only 2 blocks away from here and this card shop has been around forever. Most of my Yugioh collection came from here too.

[@BillyT886]

So they are legit?

[@jeffrey6611]

@@BillyT886 I mostly only get structure decks and singles from here, so can't really say anything about how "legit" they are. Though I do remember buying a Flames of Destruction special edition here and got a Ghost Belle from one of the packs, which was worth quite a bit at the time.

If I lived in Canada, I’d go there in a heart beat. That store looks awesome!

do not go to this shop dude, he scales his pack for sure, waste of money if you are there to buy packs

[@KC_604]

@@Jannatul.Firdaus.255 I live in van I was gonna go down there but what your saying sounds right and since the owner is a serious collector I’m guessing he syphoned all the good packs out of the box and then sells the others but what does scale mean ????

[@calmmind7619]

@@KC_604 Meaning that the owner probably weighed all the packs and takes out all the good ones and sells the shitty packs for profit. I wouldn’t recommend buying packs there due to personal experience Story I’ve heard from an friend saying that they never got any good packs and rarely pulled any holos. I would only go there to buy sealed product if possible and some singles. But I wouldn’t really go there. The owner should be more considerate and not do such sort of thing lol

[@alexandersaechao802]

Yeah they weighed eternity code and got all the good packs smh you can just tell they would do something like that

I haven’t played since 2003/4 i had Exodia, toon world and toons, and Egyptian Gods… and I gave them all away to a friend when I went to college as a gift. Love the videos. Makes me want to pick it back up, but I wouldn’t know where to begin.

No ultras for loose singles they might have weighed the packs and kept the ultras/secrets also the boxes were mappable. Never buy loose singles packs
