      Yeah this was everyone. My friends and I all had insane book’s I remember everything on my front and second page. We all left them over at my buddies in like 4th grade and for years I’d see them laying around like ten years after we left em they were still there. One day when I found out they were selling for hella bread again I asked my buddy if they were still there and his mom had finally decided to throw them away lol I was kinda heartbroken honestly. First page was charmander, charmeleon, charizard (I paid $25 for in 4th grade.) second row was dark charmander, dark charmeleon, dark charizard. Bottom row Dr Blaine’s charmander, dr Blaine’s charmeleon, and dr Blaine’s charizard ppl used to go crazy over my front page. On the back of that page or the second page whatever lol I had all the legendary birds holographic it was all crazy I coulda sold that book for quite a bit if it wasn’t gone. But yeah I played the game like once, but one day I came over to that same friends house because we were all there like everyday and my two buddies were playing a game with cards I never seen or heard of. They told me it was kinda like Pokémon but it’s a new show called Yugi-Oh.. we started playing and it was awesome we started playing so much never having seen the show myself lol but I was loving the game.

    when i was nine going on ten, my older brother was moving out and left me his entire collection of pokemon cards. he was a super avid collector and had the original first packs from japan in mint condition as well as hundreds and hundreds of super rare US pokemon cards all in perfect condition- wrapped individually in plastic and placed into binders that were all organized by rarity.
    What did I do with these cards?
    I immediately took them all out of their protection cases + binders.... and taped them all.... to my door...
    I wanted to impress my two entire friends I guess??? so when they'd come over they'd see pokemon cards covering both sides of my door?? even tho one of these friends didnt even like pokemon??? after filling up my door, i still had so many binders of cards that i'd end up hanging them all over my room. I moved them around and re-taped them on the door so many times that they began to fall apart. due to this, my dad would then go on to throw them all out.
    i basically destroyed my family's future fortune in one day. i cannot tell u how many mint condition cards he had that are considered super rare and valuable. he had hundreds and kept them perfectly and i turned them into a pile of trash sent off to a landfill.
    don't give ur valuables to nine year olds

      Wow, you guys actually liked this style? I guess this is the new style of TH-cam videos, I've seen a lot of creators making these sorts of things these days but I find them quite boring and not as enjoyable as the comedy focused stuff where he is making lots of jokes non-stop about things that are already awkward and funny, this seemed to have a lot less of that and was also really long, so it was kind of tedious and boring for me. It is very interesting to see how people might actually be liking it, I wonder what the age difference is or what age groups tend to like this sort of thing.
      I come from a generation that might like more quickly paced stuff that has lots of great moments, each statement leading to the next joke and the next joke and providing a lot more entertainment in a lot less time. I've noticed even Netflix stuff and tv shows are getting long and boring and sort of serious too, its not to my taste at least, but very cool and interesting that there are some people (a lot apparently) where this is the thing they are really into. It sort of reminds me of boring podcasts I've heard even, where people are just talking about some technical thing or repeating a lot, I find it a pain really, and liked some of the older videos (even recent ones) which were shorter with a lot more jokes back to back. There were definitely jokes in here, but compared to some of the other videos, this seemed less funny as frequently as those.
      You wrote a nice comment though, he seemed to put a ton of work into this one for sure, but I wonder if he can actually manage to put in less work and end up less burned out with better results with one of the more comedy focused short commentary things rather than the documentary journey style types, that also cost him a ton of money in this case as well.

    When Kurtis started talking about being so excited you start shaking, it sparked a fun little trip down memory lane. I shiny hunt quite a lot in my spare time, and while I know it isn't physical, like cards, I still got super stoked when I found my first soft reset shiny, a beautiful Charmander in Leaf Green, and I shook so damn hard. Best feeling ever to see that little yellow lizard with the star and bright blue border. I've been shamed out of getting too excited when I find shinies nowadays, but I'll never forget finding that Charmander, man.

    I remember home-room in 4th grade when the kids who traded cards would all wait until the teacher stepped out of the room for something, and instantly maybe 6 or 7 extra large 3-ring binders would come flying out of backpacks and slam onto desks, everyone else pulling out what they had to trade from their pockets or card cases. They were so efficient at not getting caught that the teacher could have stepped right outside, and they had 3 or 4 kids in the room that acted as the lookouts at all times, and everyone else would ninja their way across the room to nab trades really quickly. Like, _almost the entire class._
    And then one day our teacher caught us, and instead of busting us she revealed she was a fan too and brought us over to her desk to show us the Eevee card she had taped on her monitor, since it was her favorite one because of the many evolutions. Mrs. Peters, one of the kindest and most gentle teachers I ever had in my entire scholastic career. If I could have just had her as my teacher for the rest of my life, I probably would have done a whole lot better and had a few honors degrees by now.

I remember having this rivalry with this one boy over who got to trade with her first and it was a blast. I think she gave both of us a little blind bag with Pokemon cards at the end of the year when we were going on to 4th. She was a great teacher and actually helped me figure out that I was nearsighted so I could get my glasses, so thanks Mrs. Jones, wherever you are.

    After I completed watching the entire video you managed to reignite the passion and love I used to have during my childhood + teenage years. I have always been a massive collector of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and any products in general throughout majority of my life until the final teenage years. ( I used to have the OG duel disk they made around the time they released the first movie- the one where they were handing out 3 card boosters that had limited cards inside and could potentially had the blue eyes shining dragon inside) that love for collecting the cards and playing the game, competing in tournaments would eventually end up fading away during a extremely difficult,destructive, and just all together unhealthy portion of my life. This happened when I had gotten engaged to the women of my dreams, who also eventually gotten pregnant against all odds and depsite the few miscarriages due to her endometriosis.
    However I eventually discovered she had been cheating on me for a large part of our relationship and the baby she said was my soon to be daughter wasn't even my actual child. On top of all that she was also extremely physically and emotionally abusive to me, and it didn't matter if I tried to tell anyone else that she was violent and abusivez or that she would drink 2-3 750Ml bottles of vodka daily, because when I tried to tell anyone they didn't believe what I was saying and would tell me "you're overreacting, you are a grown man she couldn't actually hurt you or do anything to you." Along with telling me "suck it up and grow some balls, men can't be the victims of this stuff"
    However I've been able to find the passion and enjoyment I used to have for collecting yugioh again, as well as potentially getting back into the competitive scene for the game again
