I remember my dad saying no about 100 times. Then one day he snapped and bought them all in triplicate. Sad part, all I can find from that includes; one blue eyes, one dark magician, and a slew of commons from both decks. Sad.
@@nevmax9312 still have my starter deck Joey red eyes, and starter deck yugi dark magician to this day never got kaiba or pegasus always wanted the OG SDK blue eyes 😭
I remember when I was a kid and my dad bought me my first ever yugioh cards and its was the kaibas starter deck . Seeing this brings back soo many memories.
I remember having the Kaiba starter Deck 1st Edition as a Kid, when me and my Uncle randomly met a Friend of us, working in a Toys´R´Us Store. He reduced the price from 20 Bucks to just 50 cents for us ! It was that moment when that Kaiba Starter Deck become a nostalgic memory part of my life
I opened about a dozen of these as a kid because I was obsessed with Blue Eyes and was too young to understand that promo cards weren’t “rare.” If only I kept them sealed lol. I still have all of my old Blue Eyes but they’re certainly not mint anymore.
Yep, I remember opening Starter Deck Kaiba as a kid. I got that and Starter Deck Yugi together as presents for christmas the year they came out. Classic memories.
Damn, I had a first edition Yugi's deck. I have this memory where a friend of mine had a first ed Kaiba's. He was a kid, somewhere around 6 or 7. I was 9, I believe. And he had this idea that the older the card the more mystical and powerful not was. So his blue eyes was all beaten, so much that it would flap when you held It, so he put it in a hard sleeve. I still tell him about it, and he refuses to believe how much that card costs today.
I found one of these a few years ago, box sadly ripped open but some cards, even blue eyes white dragon were mint condition. Still keeping that blue eyes in a sleeve in my binder.
Never had this deck or any cards really when I was younger seeing that the franchise was frowned upon back then and getting cards in my country was hard to come by. It's only this year that I learned that this artwork is alt art for the TCG, which I found very interesting because I've never seen the LOB printing before. Everyone I knew who owned a copy of Blue Eyes [Even I owned a copy] was more than likely the SDK print.
This was awesome video, Ruxin!! Because it bring back memories, when I start collect Yugioh as a kid and the anime. "My first ever product was the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Master's Guide, because I ever own both with Kaiba and Yugi deck. Also, I still got the DVD too!! That's how I got fell in love Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Starter deck Kaiba was how I was introduced to the game. I remember my mother purchased it for my birthday around when it was released. Absolutely wild box that I wish was reintroduced for nostalgics like me. Great video!
THIS IS REAL YUGIOH! These cards are gonna be so valuable in the future. All old sealed yugioh will see a huge price spike in due time. I remember getting several starter decks of yugi and kaiba in walmart back in like 2002 or 2003. I think they were just unlimited boxes but what if at one point I held 6 1st edition starters in my life and played with em NO SLEEVES!!
I had 3 of these starter decks back when they first came out i also had 3 Yugi, Joey, & Pegasus starter decks... i never would have thought these cards would have so much value now... i stupidly sold my LoB exodia pieces a few years ago
My brother got Starter Deck Yugi, and I got Starter Deck Kaiba--so cool to see how far those decks have come now. Ironically, nowadays, I'm a bigger Dark Magician fan!
I literally had all of the starter deck's as a kid it was amazing when pegasus' came out with toon world and relinquished But there's nothing more nostalgic than that blue eyes right there
I love these so much more than the new stuff. Nothing is better! I remember ripping these decks open so fast to get that blue eyes. To think I have all mine to some lucky kid back in the day. Had to restart my collection
I think I had the Kaiba SD when I was about 13 years old. Dang I feel so old but the nostalgia is incredible. Love the content! Keep up the incredible work and God bless you, dude! 👏
I was too young at the time unfortunately. I started opening yugioh tins around 2006. I believe one of my first tins was the one with Neos on it! Brings back memories! Have a great new years Rux and everybody else!
I first got into YGO with the Deluxe edition Pegasus deck, but I did go back and grab the other three starter decks too. None 1st ed unfortunately, but I still have the SDK Blue-Eyes in one piece! E: wait..I never knew Dark Assailant used to be called Dark Assassin
so awesome!!! i still have my brothers starter 1st ed deck yugi and kaiba cards. heavily used sadly. starter deck kaiba's blue eyes is definitely my favorite. i really do not like any of the other art works of it. cant wait to see what you guys were doing in LA!!
I will never forget my grandfather coming home from work one day and placed Kaiba’s blue eyes starter deck on the table back in 2002. Forever one of my favorite memories.
I think almost everyone remembers their first starter deck as a kid... mine was Yugi's but Kaibas was definitely my favorite, and blue eyes cards are still my favorite to this day
Back in the day, I remember buying the Joey deck while my brother bought Kaiba one. I knew my Red Eyes was trash compared to the Blue Eyes, but I still loved playing that deck 😂 I recently bought a first ed Joey deck just for the red eyes ahah
I opened and played with that deck quite a lot as a child haha. Lots of fun, very few cards survived on good condition, but oh well. Completely worth it.
@@hunterhofman3555 They came in a long box with the starter decks, a few packs, and some card sleeves. It was the best way for kids to bring their stuff bc it had a handle too.
I remember getting the 1st edition when I was 8 years old even back then I would put the blue eyes in a DVD case to protect it while I played spiderman the movie game it's an epic experience
Man the nostalgia. I had the starter deck kaiba. It was my first ever yugioh product. Back then my love for the game started. Sadly I don't even have it anymore. That is on top of my wishlist to once again have one. But the prices are just to crazy. So the video was amazing. To see it once again being opened :)
Yup, had SDK and SDY when they first came out, still have a bunch of unlimited SDK blue eyes and 1 1st Ed, was my first intro into yugioh aside from the show back then. The comic book store I bought them from in my neighborhood is still here but they don’t carry yugioh products anymore
I opened starter deck kaiba as a kid. Most of the commons are in bulk ,but I still have the Blue eyes and other 2 holos in my binder they've seen better days tho. Happy to have them in my collection all these years later.
It was my first sdk ever 😍 shortly after I got pegasus's one 💘 yeah... I remember the days when battle ox and swordstalker were scary monsters to fight lol
This was my first Starter deck I remember i have to work like a month with my dad for it . Such memories men! ( Sorry for my horrible english greetings from México)
Loved this opening, really is a shame for the blue eyes! I got several of these packs as a boy just because of how amazing the blue eyes holo looked. My younger brother and I played Yugi and Kaiba decks late into the night. If only I hadn't given all my cards to my nephews a few years later!
In LA one time, my pops and I went to a gas station and at the register counter they had a Kaiba starter deck box with maybe 6 in a row. I pointed and asked my dad to get it for me (didn't always get what I asked for but hey why not ask) he asked for one and that was my first time opening up my Kaiba deck 🙏 i have very fond memories of my dad when I think of these Yugi and Kaiba starter decks. Thank you and have a good day bro
I’m sure someone’s tried it but when there’s smudging like that on the back I feel like Maybe taking a dry q tip and likely circle scrubbing may get it off but I’ve never tried
I have never opened a old gen deck ever since they pretty much expensive but its pretty good to have a original blue eyes art or having a blue eyes in general
I had at least 1st ed Kaiba, and later, two of the unlimited starter deck Kaibas. I just found my old copies of the unlimiteds sitting sleeved in my kiddy deck. My 1st has uber edge wear (but no creases or bends :) )
I’ve never opened a Starter Deck Kaiba, even when I was little I would pick the Starter Deck Yugi which I ended up losing all the cards back then when I was little lol. I wish I picked Kaiba’s and kept them sleeved up in a binder instead haha. Great video dude.
I remember buying 2 decks for my bday. Got money. Me and my brother ran to our local 99c store. And I bought both. Yugioh and Kaibas. Man if I only knew they would be so valuable.
I opened a SDK and SDY as a kid, unfortunately the cards didn't make it through childhood. The blue eyes had a huge crease in the middle and was traded off sometime in 2012. The Dark Magician is still in my collection, however, its heavily damaged.
I remember having the 4 original starter decks as a kid, they were the best bang for your parents bucks !
19.99 at Walgreens back then and yes best starter deck imo
I remember my dad saying no about 100 times. Then one day he snapped and bought them all in triplicate. Sad part, all I can find from that includes; one blue eyes, one dark magician, and a slew of commons from both decks. Sad.
@@nevmax9312 My first Starter was Pegasus :D
@@nevmax9312 I wish my dad snapped like that when I was a kid.
@@nevmax9312 still have my starter deck Joey red eyes, and starter deck yugi dark magician to this day never got kaiba or pegasus always wanted the OG SDK blue eyes 😭
I remember when I was a kid and my dad bought me my first ever yugioh cards and its was the kaibas starter deck . Seeing this brings back soo many memories.
Imagine telling someone in 2002 their sealed $10 starter deck would be $3,500 in 18 years
me 18 years ago :)
i cant :D
Imagine telling someone that Pokemon fire red and emerald would be worth 15,000 sealed in the box graded at only an 8.5
Only Bitcoin has better performance
My younger self would shit himself

I had this started deck way back in middle school and played the hell out of it, it brings back so many memories
I opened it as a teenager. But I loved the starter deck. Seeing it opened again is such a great memory brought back

Damn so many memories from opening SDK with my older brother back when I was little :)
I had both Yugi and Kaiba starter decks, I played them so hard but in sleeves. Had I known these would get so valuable I’d have bought two sets each!
Sadly, I never have opened an "old school" starter deck..it must be quite a feeling!
Only opened the starter deck yugi evoltuion as a kid when it came out. But it was quite satisfying and I still got most of the cards.
Back in the day, I remember buying the Joey deck while my brother bought Kaiba one. I knew my Red Eyes was trash compared to the Blue Eyes, but I still loved playing that deck 😂 I recently bought a first ed Joey deck just for the red eyes ahah

Starter deck Kaiba was one of my presents for Easter as a kid after buying the Yugi starter deck a few weeks before. One of my fav holiday memories.

Never got my hands on the Kaiba starter deck. Wish I did though, it looks real awesome.
Yup, had SDK and SDY when they first came out, still have a bunch of unlimited SDK blue eyes and 1 1st Ed, was my first intro into yugioh aside from the show back then.

This was my first Yugioh deck. So much nostalgia

Back in the day when I was young I was lucky enough to be able to have both Kiba and Yugi starter decks
What a sick opening! I had all the starter decks as a kid! I actually ended up buying ALMOST all the structure decks for a while as well!
Thank you!!
Never had a starter deck. But thats a very nostalgic opening! Keep up the great content!
personally I've never bought a starter deck. Looking forward to your future videos!
I never had the deck but it looks so cool. Blue eyes are awesome.
I’ve never had Kaibas starter deck but it’s on my bucket list. Just recently started my yugioh collection while rewatching the anime:)
It was my first sdk ever 😍 shortly after I got pegasus's one 💘 yeah... I remember the days when battle ox and swordstalker were scary monsters to fight lol

The most Yugioh Deck ever 😍
Nostalgia at it's finest 👌
Starter Deck Kaiba 1st Ed Englisch is so rare these days, even hard to find it on Ebay
dude ive been looking for over a year for a 1st edition kiaba and nothing
Crazy how I had like three of them
As a kid lmao , truly wonder what would have happened if I kept them and never opened them
i bought one for 300 3 years ago. They're super rare
@@Tomb413 hope you still got it sealed
@@hunterhofman3555 yup got it and yugi both sealed mint condition straight from a case. It’s not bashed up like this one he opened is.
Definitely had that deck as a kid, one of my favorites ❤️
Behind the scenes. That setup >>>
Lmao amazing

I have an unopen Yugioh Starter Deck (Kaiba 1st Edition) too. Should I open and send the cards for PSA grading or sell it unopened?
Let’s go!! I never had it myself but it’s cool to see y’all open everything bec I was only two years ago at the time
I’m sure someone’s tried it but when there’s smudging like that on the back I feel like
Maybe taking a dry q tip and likely circle scrubbing may get it off but I’ve never tried
I was sadly not into Yugioh in my younger years, due to my parents and my love for Pokemon, but still, cool opening Ruxin!
My brother had the Kaiba deck, and I had the Yugi Deck! Always loved trying to outsmart his overpowering blue eyes!
I have never opened a old gen deck ever since they pretty much expensive but its pretty good to have a original blue eyes art or having a blue eyes in general
Definitely had sdk back in the day! Love that old artworks
Pretty much had all the starter decks back in 2002-2004. Back in grade 2
Absolutely had the starter deck! My friend had Yugi, a classic
Crazy to see how much your channel is blowing up Ruxin! Gives me motivation to one day start a TH-cam channel
Thanks Kevin!
My favorite starter deck. And I still have quite a few of the original cards from the deck. Including 3 of the blues eyes
I had at least 1st ed Kaiba, and later, two of the unlimited starter deck Kaibas.
I just found my old copies of the unlimiteds sitting sleeved in my kiddy deck. My 1st has uber edge wear (but no creases or bends :) )
I’ve never opened a Starter Deck Kaiba, even when I was little I would pick the Starter Deck Yugi which I ended up losing all the cards back then when I was little lol.
I wish I picked Kaiba’s and kept them sleeved up in a binder instead haha. Great video dude.
I had both at some point when I was a kid. Loved the og stuff!!
My first deck was starter deck Pegasus I believe. I remember dueling as a kid with it. Good memories !
Wish there was some new card game that’s created that’s as interesting as how yugioh was
I remember getting all of the starter decks for Christmas one year.
Use a microfiber cloth and tab a little bit of water and lightly touch the back should be able to get it off
Yes I had a starter deck of all the deck, include blue eyes, dark magician, pegasus, joey.
I had yugis starter deck and my brother kaibas, we dueled for hours, like rivals 👌 it was really balanced, loved this time 🥰😍
Starter Deck Kaiba was my first yugioh product I ever purchased. I think it was like S12 at walmart back then.
I remember buying 2 decks for my bday. Got money. Me and my brother ran to our local 99c store. And I bought both. Yugioh and Kaibas. Man if I only knew they would be so valuable.
owned it as a kid. still have alot of it sleeved and bindered at my moms somewhere.
The dueling mat, classic! I forgot about those. I still have like 4-5 of them haha.
I have opened all the starter decks back in the day and i also have many cards from then. I love them
I opened a SDK and SDY as a kid, unfortunately the cards didn't make it through childhood. The blue eyes had a huge crease in the middle and was traded off sometime in 2012. The Dark Magician is still in my collection, however, its heavily damaged.
Had a SDY, then got SKE. Great to see this opened.
Those evolution starters are gonna go up in value too. They have almost doubled in price in 2020. All old yugioh will.
I remember getting one of the starter decks, pretty sure it was Kaiba, alongside my friend that I grew up dueling/watching the show with
Never gotten a starter deck it's crazy knowing people still have them sealed
i have them all 1st edition besides kiaba all the way upto 2007
I never had the starter decks yugi and kaiba before just some cards from then btw very sweet opening man thanks for this!
The first starter decks of yugi and kaiba had only the cards sealed in plastic and not the whole thing.
Opened it as a kid. Remember my parents buying me the Kaiba deck alongside some Pokemon packs. Good times
Got that as a kid i got all the starter decks joeys yugis kaibas pegasus cant believe this is so rare 20 years later
Never had the whole starter deck Yugi, Kaiba, or Joey, but I did buy an unlimited Dark Magician, Blue Eyes, and Red Eyes from each recently!
Ah the days when i made a ritual monster deck with CRAB TURTLE and RELINQUISHED!
I never had a kaiba starter deck. Which and want badly. so many cool cards.
