Top 10 Rarest Yu-Gi-Oh Items of All Time

[@jonathanmerklin]

I really hope I'm not misremembering, but I'm 99% confident that the SD1+SD2 Deluxe was a Wal-Mart exclusive, not a Toys R Us exclusive. As a youngster, I tagged along to my hometown Wal-Mart (and we did NOT have a hometown TRU, we had to go a few towns over for that) when we did our family grocery shopping, and I got my Yu-Gi-Oh related wishlist items from the card section while my parents were checking out (this was before self-checkout!). I distinctly recall seeing this, putting it on my Christmas wishlist, and receiving it that year - and it was important (to me) because my neighbor had the cards from SD1+SD2 from their original releases way earlier in 2005, except now *I* had access to Armed Dragon LV7. I tried googling the UPC and other data on the back of the box, but the only corroborating piece of evidence I could find on the 'net today is the Pojo thread (I don't think you can link URLs on YT, but it's the usual URL scheme that ends in showthread(DOT)php?p=2829488 ) where Wal-Mart specifically is being discussed and someone mentions that: "Wal Mart here has the Warrior Deluxe Dragon/Zombie Deluxe Now for $10 they're selling "3 Classic Packs and 1 Promo"(got IOC/AST/PGD and a TGAF) (...and more to the comment...)" Figured you might like to know! EDIT: I found another piece of evidence - if you google for "SD2-ENDE1 Wal-Mart" (without the quotes) (this is the Rope of Life promo), there are a few websites where the actual page itself does not have the text on it, but in the "description" meta tags in the HTML, it describes it as "Card Rules: Rulings powered by The Netrep API., Passcode: 93382620, Set: Wal-Mart Structure Deck Special Edition Promos, ATK/DEF: , Card Number: SD2-END...", - dnacomicsandgames and collectorscache both give it this treatment, which means someone, somewhere, labeled the "set" in their database as "Wal-Mart Structure Deck Special Edition Promos" for those cards. I'm 99.999% confident now.

Great info, definitely noted. Thanks for sharing and viewing the videos.

[@jonathanmerklin]

@@StrictlySealed You're very welcome! And thank YOU for sharing your collection, and making the videos!

[@explicitydash93]

Can definitely say I remember it being a Walmart exclusive. I still have my secret rare LV. 7 as one of my most prized possessions. (Granted younger me didn't really take of it, but I still got it.)

[@StrictlySealed]

@@explicitydash93 yes I looked at my notes and it is Walmart that I had written down. I just misspoke, apologies. Thanks for viewing the videos.

[@HistoryandReviews]

Self checkout existed back then, kid

[@DavyBrando]

Dude, your videos are quickly becoming some of my favourite content in KZbin. Just so, so satisfying and interesting to watch.

[@vayneml5080]

Same my friend

[@menowin7]

I was just going to write the same comment xD

[@StrictlySealed]

The Spellcaster's Command structure deck MUST have the STICKER with Magician's Valkyria on it to be the Special Edition. If it doesn't have it, it's not the special edition and it's not the one mentioned in the video. Thanks for viewing the video.

[@versaacollectables]

Not only was the GX anime the best but the products and cards are just amazing. So fun to collect, rare, and beautiful!

[@itachi-kun7736]

sadly, many fans left when original yugioh series was over, thus the product from Early GX was discontinued early, fans only went back when middle episodes of GX

[@Tobiii88]

@@itachi-kun7736 its cause Gx is trash. It looks, sounds & feels like for kids. The original Yugioh can be watched by an adult and enjoyed because it has a more “mature” vibe to it. If you kno you know. Characters like Bakura, Kaiba, Merik… They were never able to re-create characters who were as serious, sounded as cool, or looked as cool as these guys and thats just one example. OG yugioh willl never be topped

[@Ryan____Z]

@@Tobiii88 if you watch the original SUB versions, every series is better and more mature than the DUB. DUB is made for kids

[@Tobiii88]

@@Ryan____Z I’ll give it a shot

Bro the og is way better. U trippin

[@elliottjohnson6708]

Prisma was also massively hyped and became a staple in Gladiator Beast in 2008 when this tin came out, which would also contribute to that tin being ripped open

[@adv4236]

Absolutely beautiful camera quality and smooth transitions. Really levelling up the KZbin game

[@StrictlySealed]

Appreciate it man. Thanks for viewing the videos.

[@TranceEternality]

Spellcaster's Command was my #1 favorite structure deck and I've never seen that exclusive before. Wow! I'm glad I watched your video.

[@CasualYugiStuff]

Thanks for the feature bro!!!😍 Edit: double feature! 🤩

[@StrictlySealed]

Well deserved, thanks for putting out great content. Thanks for viewing the videos.

[@hnvb-8690]

I love those kind of videos. So informative and it never ceases to amaze me what the hobby has to offer. A lot of things I didn't know about. So, thank you Omar for this video. Looking forward for more videos to come!

[@hnnngv]

Hearing how rare the dragon and zombie deluxe is crazy. I got one of those when I was like 10 or something and I had most of the GX Target exclusives tins aswell as Chazz. Man huge throwback. Sadly I no longer own any of these cards anymore as mom either chucked them in the bin or lost when moving houses.

[@chibi211820]

Been really enjoying your videos the past couple days! One of the only sealed YuGiOh products I have is a 2006 Advent Calendar, I remember my mum getting me one as a child and it took me ages to find one, couldn't even find an image for a while. I remember the last door having an End of Anubis card. Not sure which version or rarity though but it's my favourite YuGiOh product because it holds a lot of memories but just can't find much about it.

[@franzjpacis8664]

Very informative details of vintage Yu-Gi-Oh boxes/cards as collections!!! Congrats sir, looking more videos like this.

[@fishthecat4084]

At 5:00 min what kind of sleeves are those?

[@ivan_bliminse8895]

Love the quality you keep delivering on a regular basis Omar. I think a top 10 most rarest price cards video would be also very entertaining and educational.

[@calallen8786]

Top 10 rarest card will be hard since there alot of SJC cards. But the rarest is Tyler the great warrior. Only one was made for make a wish foundation

I love your videos man haha. They are very funny and informative. I think you are the only channel of youtube I follow. Great content!

[@vayneml5080]

Just found your channel some hours ago, and I already loved your videos, really good content for YGO lovers like me who is been around this fandom for like 20 years (too bad I dont have any of these products, haha. Except a Dark Magician 1st Ed from the good old days) I want to guess you are way new on your own channel (I see you colaborate with other CCs), but I bet you gonna grow in no time, just keep the great work :) I will be hanging around your channel ofc. I asked on another of your videos about the media pricing for a Nephthys FET Ultimate 1st, on each grading from 7 to 10, I dont know if u may answer that :p but, anyways, I like the work you do and the quality of your videos. I hope you grow fast my friend. Greetings from Mexico.

[@jhoneism]

Fantastic video dude. Learned a lot more than I thought I would!

[@kdtrey5isabeast]

Wow I remember seeing some of these in store as a kid. Who would’ve known just how rare they would become. Awesome video!

[@deadcarpet]

Target had these special packs that had some packs and one of the parallel rare figure promos. I could have got the Cyber Dragon one, but I got the one that came with Water Dragon. I also got a cube at Target a few years ago and it had the Mattel Thunder Giant promo.

[@bubisha229]

[@Ryan-kl5pt]

You know what I find kind of crazy with yugioh and fans or "yugi-tubers" is the lack of videos talking about the artwork of some of the cards. Anyway, great video bro!

Allot of old school Japanese products are extremely rare from the vol. Series packs to boosters & even they're sets that made up our tcg sets.

neat i still have a mattel flame wingman figure (the one you put together that didn't have a promo that was the electronic giant flame wingman). it still has all it's parts i just played with it because i was still young then. also still have my red eyes darkness dragon from sd1 too.

[@aa-bu6xn]

Hey man, great video! One question: Do you know how much an Avian from the Mattel figues (without box) would usually go for? It was my favorite card as a child an still is, so it would be a dream come true to one day own one of these

[@SlashWest]

Dude I love your vids so much. Though I think you need to look into how to make your thumbnails *pop* more. Great content, but better thumbnails will do so much for your views man

[@ladybug2579]

I forgot what year but i was a kid looking at the figure with card. It was burstinatrix and wingman figure back then first release. It was cheap but expensive for me as a kid back then. Never thought that thing would be that expensive.

[@Priest6011]

There was a set at Walmart I saw way back that was just the exodia set in a blister. I've always wonder what it was never been able to find it. Wondering if it was that set repackaged

[@GamePieces]

Feels so bad when I bought that Structure Deck Deluxe back in the day and of course I opened it and played with both of them. The zombie deck was a lot of fun. Would love to go back in time and tell my young self to not open it at all haha

[@xsonarisx]

The Yugioh Gx Ultimate Beginners Pack is one of my faves. Remember seeing it when it came out & instantly bought for the awesome Elemental Hero/ Jaden deck, game- but also for the amazing Exodia Secret Rares! 🤩👏

[@tot3mpted]

i had the ehero collection box 1 i’ll never forget when i was in highschool a friend of mine saw the bubble man i had and wanted to trade so bad for it lol i still have it to this day

[@aStupidGecko]

Oh my god, seeing the structure deck deluxe hit me hard, got that for Christmas back in the day.

[@KINGJP14]

I Agree 100% on what said about the structure decks, tins, and booster box are hard to find. For the people who are looking for the old versions cards.

[@KINGJP14]

"You" my bad

[@OdachiTetsunoko]

Everyone wanted prisma not just because hes an E hero and its the first printing, but because he was a staple in gladiator beasts and that deck was top 3 at the time. Love your videos btw

[@Vashness653]

I remember the ani manga and the gx mangas were always ripped open to get the cards inside. No wonder it might be difficult to find them sealed.

[@thiccboicory9964]

I have the packs with the promos basically glued on them I found it easier to get them off with heat gun after you open the pack that how I got mine off worked just fine. Gotta heat that glue up dont blast them but little heat and they come right off.

I remember seeing the Dueling Deluxe boxes at K-Mart, ohhhh man the good times when I was younger

[@lilchaos4792]

Another day another excellent video by the king of Duel Monsters himself! Thank you for the countless hours of enjoyment and insight my friend. And for providing us with an opportunity to even view some of these notoriously rare products ! 😇

[@warsawx]

I bought the GX Manga Vol2 just for the Rai-Oh, since I was using some anti-meta deck at the time. I had no idea how much the card was worth, and someone at locals payed me double the amount for the card alone. I returned to the store next week just to get another Rai-Oh to maybe do some more profit, but they sold out and the second print arrived, which didn't have the card anymore. Everybody bought that manga as soon as it came out, so I can see why it would be really rare to find one sealed right now.

[@mkps1988]

I wish I never open my spellcaster command structure decks I had to go to maybe 5 or 6 target just get 3 them with valkyria so just to let you know they were Target exclusives cuz I remember driving back and four when those first came out just to get the valkyria ones

[@parkourguyyy]

what ive thought about a lot recently is how different the scene was back then. unless the card was was competitively viable or a prize card, no matter the rarity, nobody wanted it, so it was cheap. That probably has a lot to do with Konami/upper deck's decision to kinda short print a lot of these side products. There just wasnt that much of a collector market back then
