Unboxing Starter Deck Kaiba & Starter Deck Yugi 1st Edition! Best Products EVER!

[@jakethasnake3524]

my mom worked at Kmart (rip mom and kmart lol) and one night when my dad and I went to pick her up from her shift, she surprised me with the Yugi starter deck. I can still remember the street lights illuminating the packaging. It sounds silly i know, but it was the start of everything. Thanks mom.

[@lukeshaw4287]

That’s a really awesome story 😢 😍

[@lukeshaw4287]

@@r2gh44 yeah but then it would’ve just sat around and he wouldn’t have been able to interact with them and enjoy them. If no one enjoyed them they wouldn’t be worth anything.

[@bulbapig441]

⁠@@r2gh44memories of this will be worth more than the “5K” that would had likely been blown by now

[@michaelfellner9822]

nothing silly about it mate just an overall wholesome story. sorry that she passed, rest in peace legend mom. i got my first cards when i was shopping with my mom and sister. a random clothing store was selling the starter decks and lob. my mom got me the kaiba starter and five lob packs. tri horned dragon + monster reborn pulled, was insane :D i stopped playing before links dropped because i already disliked the direction the way was going and when they were about to introduce links with new extra deck restrictions it ended it for me because they killed off so many older decks which was always my jam .. but i still like watching some ygo content so im happy this opening got recommended to me, always nice to see what started it all. happy new year everyone, may you all have a good one.

You’re a wizard Harry 🥲

[@Yugigreg]

SDK is what got us all into YGO

[@ernestodeanda5251]

The memories and the smell those cards had 😂my childhood coming back!!!

[@nhc7772]

SDY Dark Magician is the best DM ever printed. I like it even more then the DDS version. It’s the best ultra rare in yugioh imo

[@stargazer4784]

If we're ignoring value then the starter deck versions would definitely be rank 1 for me. Just such a nostalgic feeling whenever I see them. I remember getting both of these decks on separate occasions and opening them at my grandma's apartment.

[@Yugigreg]

3:27 most iconic card in ygo history

[@meggsgg]

SDK Blue Eyes for me is the most iconic card in YuGiOh! That artwork just cant be beat!

[@chicagokyle5126]

I remember in the early 2000’s I was like 8-9 years old when I first started to collect pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, but my parents were really poor and they could never afford to buy me any cards, I remember I used to rip open all of the starter deck kaiba’s, yugi’s, joey’s, and pegasus’s, and just pocket the decks. I had so many of these, like literally about 40 of them all together, and I remember one time I finally got caught doing it, I remember the cops came and scared the shit out of me and my dad beat my ass really good when me and my mom got home from wal-mart. From that day on I learned a lesson that you don’t steal. Glad I learned the lesson early on, I was young and didn’t know any better.

[@edwardlara4271]

Although I’m very familiar with the card list for SDK and SDY, I still watched the video because of all the information you provide us regarding print runs, quality, different methods of packaging/display etc., that few other channels don’t mention, to keep other collectors aware. Also, you have an earlier print of 1st ed SDK because at 6:12 you got a “Dark Assassin” instead of “Dark Assailant” ;)

[@spm8675]

These are my favourite videos. Always love unboxing of SDK SDY. Reminds me of when I was a little kid.

[@maxthegamer]

What a way to end the year, some real childhood memories right there, I had the yugi box for so long, too bad I threw it away at some later point. At least I still have my OG dark magician.

[@miniMAXI16]

The SDK Blue-Eyes is simply awesome. The memories these artworks trigger make me happy, seeing them is 1st Ed is another level of hype! :-)

[@iland95]

Strong video to finish off 2023. Wishing your channel success 2024 bro ✊🏼

[@noxy005]

Man, i remember my first Deck ever was the Dark Magician Deck. I dont have it anymore but bought 3 classic Dark Magicians. I dont care about 1st Ed. Its just Nostalgia for me. Thanks for this Video!!!

[@gevinblazkowicz771]

I recently bought a Dark Paladin reprint. This card has fascinated me most as a child.

[@noxy005]

@@gevinblazkowicz771 Which Artwortk? I love the DRI.

[@gevinblazkowicz771]

@@noxy005 From "hidden arsenal" which is the same artwork as DRI, but not expensive. Would love to get also the other two artworks, though. Still figuring out the cheapest way to get them as well :D

[@prev]

the card is a beauty, but when you put it in that case... wow. such a nostalgic deck, a blast from the past for sure.

[@brysant_]

So awesome. Great job with the video as well! Loved the close ups. These cards will forever be nostalgic to so many of us who were fortunate to have them growing up

[@soulivan827]

Man, I remember getting the kaiba deck for christmas. I was in the 4th grade during the time when the decks came out. Good and simpler times!

[@Billy_Wyatt]

Epic opening Omar and you can't go wrong with those structure decks, they're part of the history of the game. It would be cool if you cover the deluxe editions of starter deck Pegasus and starter deck Joey.

[@XFEINX]

Damn bro... You revived me the nostalgia of these decks... I started to play Yugi back in 2009, I was 10 years old and my cousin bought the two pack combo, Yugi and Kaiba starter decks, these exactly ones, and he gifted me the Yugi deck, :,), that is why the Dark Magician es my favorite card from all Yugioh TCG, is so damn beautiful and nostalgic.

[@thorlord2544]

Thanks For Viewing The Videos!

[@Runescapeplayer2]

Absolutely ended the year with a BANG.

[@SonicLink125]

This made me remember when my parents got me the SDK; my first starter deck. It was the rare unlimited version with the black plastic. Good times! Also, have I been using the OCG Display Cases all wrong this whole time?!? Is that the correct way to put the cards in??? Thank you for the amazing videos of 2023, Omar! See you in 2024! Happy New Year!

[@707Tino]

I remember getting both of these in second grade 2002. A t shirt shop in my small town sold them I remember doing yard work to earn them my grandma bought them for me i still remember the smell when I opened the plastic

[@NitroNEXT]

Pet peeve: I wish people wouldn''t hold rare cards from their sides (like at 8:07) because skin oils are absorbed into the white of the card. It's why older cards can yellow with lots of use. Anyway, I literally started my Yugioh journey with these two decks. I was an only child so I convinced my dad to get me both and I still have most of the cards in decent condition to this day.

[@XFEINX]

How is the best way to hold them? :o

[@J1mmmmY]

Starter deck Joey and Pegasus next maybe? Would love to see you unbox them.

[@lukeshaw4287]

The best for sure. I find the unlimited have almost all the character as far as distinguishment of individual copies from each other via print errors and color tones.

[@mcmayfire]

What a treat for OG collectors and players!!! Nice Omar!!

[@Cash3rd]

Bad ass video, I remember buying these at K-mart back in 2002.

[@hunterhofman3555]

ive got all the first 8 starter decks made all in 1st ed. favourite thing in my collection

[@danielnicolas5049]

What a trip down memory lane.

[@DAWSN74z]

Can’t believe I used to buy these boxes as a kid and just end up losing all of them without a care not knowing in the future they’d be amazing to still have 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@appeljuicesurf]

you arnt a yugioh collector without sdk blue-eyes 1. ed. happy new year guys :)

[@Rko11148]

It’s depressing to remember when I was 9 years old getting these packs, legend of blue eyes box, ripping them to shreds and ruining the cards using my duel disk… seeing the price of them now

[@BetterYouNow]

I'd love the box for display omg yes please!!! I was thinking just that, cannot believe you said it and are giving away. I'm just getting back into Yugioh after 20 years and your channel has been such a big help, especially the market watch to learn new cards! Went back watching so many of your videos of recent, learning about new products like TCG Seto Kaiba case so I appreciate what you do! Bought Exodia in QCR and gods but want to start collecting vintage cards I played as a kid! =)

[@dontholdup]

You should definitely drop a collectors guide for Exodia sometime in the future!

[@aocampo53]

Ooh the boxes for display would be nice to have 😮

[@yot330]

these 2 are my main goals for 2024

[@andreafabris7436]

Hi, I am a big fan of yugioh and am getting back into collecting vintage cards. I would like to have the dark magician from the Yugi starter deck and the dark magician V1 Japan in good condition in my collection. Could you give me some advice on where I can look for these cards? Thank you very much and great videos

[@jinsu0504]

wow trip down memory lane..

[@prev]

8:18 the asmr though 😂😂 it is a beauty indeed.

[@austinfair23]

Appreciate the opening man, nothing beats these 2! Happy holidays and thank you for all the content this year!

[@javiuno2610]

When I was a kid and these came out. I bought 3 Kaiba starters and 1 Yugi , my Yugi came with 2 Dark Magicians

[@shinarupu3545]

Great video! I would be interested in the Deck boxes if you still have them laying around :)

[@Yugigreg]

There’s so many short printed commons in SDK & SDY

[@iicundyzz]

i have the SDK-E00-1 blue eyes along with the IOC emporer dragon i think they'd both rank like a 5 in PSA do you think it's worth it

[@thehomelander1146]

the OG ultra rares are so high quality, the modern ultras look cheap af

[@zeeition]

Awesome video bro. I been looking for a 1st edition Kaiba and Yugi starter deck but it’s really rare now.

[@Yugigreg]

I need the Card destruction / flute / lord of d if you’re trying to offload those

[@cosmic_kid2868]

I sold both my 1st edition Kaiba and Yuki decks in a garage sale to some kid in 2008. Hope he made something of them...

[@lavendertown8883]

the SDY dark magician is the best looking yugioh card ever imo

[@DerNesor]

My first deck was Joey's because my shitty store only had that one left... I corrected that mistake and still own that dark magician and blue eyes.. nostalgia

[@brendantimmons2957]

wow those sleeves are soo sick

[@leebug3424]

What kind of difference are we talking about with centering, like a couple millimeters? Any plans to do a short video on that?

[@AMK316]

My first ever product I had bought for me as a kid. I got kaiba and my brother got yugi. My dream is to at minimum getting an unlimited Kaiba but 1st edition would be the ultimate dream

[@wolfgangfegelein2450]

We really should've gotten SDY and SDK reprints for the 25th anniversary.

[@halomyego]

Can’t wait for those new sleeves brother!!

[@davidconnell7615]

I have the 1st edition SDK/SDY, 1st Edition LOB, and DDS all in hand. I would rank 1st Edition SDK/SDY > DDS > 1st Edition LOB.

[@skeletor1177]

I’ll happily take that box :)

[@kevmart7579]

Where can we get those nice cases that you put the blue-eyes white dragon?

[@achillekeramekis5926]

I have a Blue Eyes White Dragon SDK-E001. No 01st ediction, Ultra Rare. I want to know if Is for sure from 2002?

[@missintegra0]

Those pictures are the best of those cards and are the reason why so many people started yugioh, like me :*). They r beautiful Pd: do u have an idea when u gonna replace ur binders? 🙄🥰🥺

[@neutralups]

How much do these worth now? I have the SDY deck. 1st edition, excellent condition.

[@DVDHDBLURAY]

I traded my Dark Magician, and ever since then I regret it. It's the best looking one, same with Blue Eyes. I don't even play any more, but keep obsessing about having it.

[@Z1pZ1p3r]

Lets say I want to find an original reprint of the first edition german decks of YUGI, KAIBA and JOEY for a reasonable price. Where would I need to start searching at?

[@ruby20003628]

How could I get both of the boxes? What would you charge?

[@michaelperez-salas3335]

cool video i just started watching your content its awesome! unrelated but as someone whose only started collecting old sets this year who cant seem to find some of these older near mint first edition cards on TCGplayer and wants to find a reputable site to get them from what would you recommend?

[@CharlesDMT]

How i wish i got blue eyes white dragon starter deck in my childhood 😢.

[@imurked1878]

Memories.

[@RoyaltonDrummer922]

I don’t really fall for nostalgia bait but if they reprinted these, I’d probably pick them up

I have both. never opened in mint.

[@20tetsuo77]

One day I'd love to be able to afford one of each of these, even if just unlimited, but as of right now I'm too poor to justify the price. One day, if any still exist by then, or if I canfind them cheaper than $500 lol

[@carmemlc]

hello from brazil. I have a starter deck yugi 1996, 51 cards that came with, but i can't remember if the cards are aleatory or if it's the same for everybody
