I was one of the best brawlers in my school back in the day. During lunch, we'd battle it out on the concrete. Set the Gate Cards and start rolling them. I remember opening my bakugan on my school desk and having it sit either magnetized upside down on the metal frame so the teachers couldn't see them, or hide them in my pencil case looking at me. Those were the days.
@@neverendinchaos4800 those were the days. I remember bakugan got big enough where everyone played it and our teacher in 4th grade actually let us play one day during a "free day". It was awesome
I was playin’ Yugioh against my friend outside this one time, and i literally watched a squirrel take my Bowganian, and run away. I was happy to see a squirrel so close but i was hella mad at the same time.
My senior year in my AP English class after writing a essay a few of us were playing in the back of the classroom, and my teacher took my deck. We continued to play all year, but towards the end of the year the teacher decided if we were gonna play she would understand the game so she watched tutorials and tried to duel us using my deck she had taken from me and wanted me to duel for it back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember my first tournament when I was like 7 or so; I showed up with a standard mix of everything deck. I sat down to play and tried to throw down blue eyes first turn; and instead of roasting me the older kid actually gave me an entire deck with sleeves, and taught me the basics of the game so I could play! when I went to give it back he told me to keep it. Ill never forget that lol.
When I was 8, my grandpa had bought me a Yu GI OH card from a shop, it turned out to be dark magician girl. I was dueling a kid from my block and he noticed i had the card he wanted and try to steal it from then. Weeks later I was bought a duel disk and felt pretty badass, same kid saw me and wanted it. Turns out one day I come back to my house and my window was open and my duel disk and magician girl where missing from my room. My uncle was able to recover the duel disk since it had my initials, but the dark magician girl? Never saw her again.
It's was 3rd grade. I brought my deck to lunch and wanted to play with my friend who was in my class and then my teacher came over and took mine and my friend's deck even though one of the 4th graders had a deck too and she didn't give them and I even had the chance to take it one time but I didn't and then later at the end of the year she actually gave them back and I even forgot they were mine when she gave them back.
I may have mentioned this WAAAAAY back in any older video, but one of my friend's cards got burned. His mother burned one of his Commander Gottoms because he got bad grades once. Can I get an R.I.P. for that?
I still always remember having my Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon stolen from me back in elementary school. And also how at on point the wind picked up and blew a lot of my cards into a sewer drain. I have never lost cards to a washing machine though
my friend just got thousand eyes restrict when it first came out back in the day, we were dueling on his patio and it slipped in between a cement crack and was never seen again
I have 3 stories: First in elementary school during recess I had a copy of The Unhappy Maiden which got blown out of my hand (it was a particularly windy day), no one was fast enough to catch up to it. Second (which is more of a mystery, though it probably just got thrown out while someone was cleaning) was when my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth disappeared; last time I saw it it was on my closet floor (this was a time when 10-12 year old me didn't care about keeping my cards in good shape), and when I finally decided to put it with the rest of my collection it was gone. And lastly; though not my own card, there was a day where this kid made some of my friends and I think he stole another kid's Armed Dragon LV. 5, we catch up with him and we find out he did no such thing and that he was simply messing with us. I punched him in the stomach and we never saw him again.
If only there was a way My friend dropped his deck in the rain after school and in the morning me and another friend found it all ruined. We scooped up what could be salvaged and gave them back to him to see what he wanted to do with them . So many foils were murdered that day So not washed but water damaged
Alec Fields the one time that I lost a card WBA’s when I put my deck in my pocket to take it to recess and the card at the bottom got bent in half somehow, I almost cried
My mother threw out my original Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards, funny thing is all my cards where crapy commons back then so I had to start from scratch and then I built elemental heroes
Same happened to me. A classmate and a friend of him stole a few cards from me. After that I met with the guy’s younger brother which was in my class as well. He shared a room with his older brother who stored my cards. One day he was out I took my cards back.
Man, I feel so sorry when I hear that you guys had so many thefts at school... For us it was a SUPER rarity and everybody would be on high alert if somebody had their cards stolen and we'd all help to figure out what happened to the cards when they went missing.
Gonna be honest, but during a later part of my childhood when I was into collecting each of the old school (GX) structure decks, out of the first 4 from Dragon's Roar to Fury From the Deep, I had always kept those in particular at home HOWEVER at some point and I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything worth a disciplined scolding for, I only had my Blaze of Destruction structure and the remaining 3 just apparently vanished and I never was able to find or get them back with the time I spent in that house
I remember in Elementary (Back when OG Yugioh was in its prime in America) yugioh and pokemon were everywhere. As a six year old, I was under the impression if I had every card Yugi Moto had i'd be invincible(we played with anime rules so I cheated a lot and won lol). I had all my 1st edition cards from all beginning starter decks(fake god cards too and yugioh poker cards that had stars and levels for some reason) and I bought my first issue of Shoulin jump which came with Dark Paladin. They lost their edges because i'd always keep them in my pocket EVERYWHERE i'd go. Hurts me to think about it lol Eventually they ended up getting washed up in the washing machine and I quit... Till Elemental Heroes became a thing. Then my collection got stolen by movers years later. What got me back into it was several channels like you guys, also the legendary yugi decks box tickled my nostalgia bone. Been collecting again ever since.
I think I'm the only person that never got cards stolen, I might have because I didn't use a binder back when I first started but they ALL sucked so if one was stolen I never knew... Also I've never had my cards taken by a teacher, all my teacher either told me to put it away (which I did) or they would ask me about it and let me explain to them why I play it and what it is and that it's not bad
was back in 2008, I was 12 back then, I just started understanding competitive yugioh..Me and my brother would go to locals, and we had a Dark World and a D Hero deck. During Summer, when I'd take a break from the game for "summer stuff", my 3 mentally ill and deaf cousins (no joke) visited us from Italy, they stayed for a while. During their stay, I hid everything that would be considered "entertaining" from them, cuz they'd either steal it or break it. Little did i know, they had a eye on me taking my cards out of my parents room everytime. Time goes, summer vacation ends, they return to Italy, and I can't find my Tin Box where I had all my yu-Gi-Oh cards. For some reason I never cared, thinking they'd just be there "somewhere". January, we visited them in their home during New year holidays. First thing I see as I step into their house : 1 half of "Silva Warlord of Dark World". In the fraction of a sec, I knew what happened that summer. Not only were my cards stolen, but they weren't in a good condition either...That day, i'll never forget..I beat the crap out of their eldest, front of her parents. Took a good beating from my parents as well. Then I quit the game for 11 years...Til this month.
the worst way I lost my yugioh cards was in a fire when I was 12 years old and 4 cards survived I still keep them since they only have the slightly burned edge
there was one class i played ygo in, and the teacher there was pretty cool with it once i explained the most baisc of game mechanics.and she realized the math and critical thinking skills involved in the game were actually helpful. (math teacher/class). also me an my opponent communicated our moves with notes, as a means of keeping quiet and not distracting any other students.
You probably helped someone get into the game. You may never know what kind of impact that had on them and it may have helped spread the game to more people.
(Kind of a long read) That reminds me of a similar situation with myself. I had decided it was time to leave yugioh behind, so I went to school one fateful rainy day and I gave my tin with most of my cards in it to my friend. Then some kid was getting annoyed at how my friend was getting all of my cards, so I gave him my best deck. I told both of them to just *keep them as they were in case I ever returned to the game.* About a year later, I returned to that room in the library and I asked if I could have my cards back. The friend I gave my tin to told me that everyone else in the room swarmed him and eventually everyone in that room took as many cards as they could from my tin until there was nothing left inside it. All my friend had was the tin itself. As for my deck, the person I gave it to was getting all worked up over it because he thought I was never coming back to the game. He was saying something like, "You gave it to me so it's my property and by law you have to pay me to have it back." I'd given my best deck to him for FREE and now he wanted me to PAY him to get it back... He was asking for $10. I basically sorted out with the friend I gave my tin to that we'd each give him $5 to get my deck back. That was such an annoying situation. I eventually got my deck back, but the deck WAS NOT how I had left it. He said he had put "upgrades" in it, but all he'd done was taken all of the good staple cards and replaced them for garbage cards. That was such a devastating time for me. All I had left was a worse version of my old deck... This is why I don't trust anyone with my cards anymore.
I used to have an entire collection of Yugioh cards and I had lots of Pokemon stuff as well. What happened with that stuff was my dad had put that stuff in a storage unit since we didn't have room to put it anywhere we were living at. And according to my dad, some guy broke into our storage unit as well as other units that were holding stuff. And the guy just took boxes and boxes of things, which one of those boxes happened to hold my entire Yugioh collection and my Pokemon collection as well as other merchandise. It sucked, my dad tried to get them back and called the cops and everything but that stuff is long gone now. Ain't gonna lie, I had about 10 different Yugioh decks and about 2000+ Yugioh Cards including some rare stuff. For my Pokemon stuff I had 5 different Pokemon decks and 5000+ Pokemon cards including some rare stuff. Worked on the collection for over 8 years and it was really frustrating that it was just gone. Ended up starting over, I don't have nearly as much cards as I did but I'm getting there.
Imagine bring your deck to school on the week your teacher is not there and there's a sub and instead of reading you sat by the teachers desk and dueled! OH!! I did that!
Team APS when I was in the 6th I met my friend Wyatt was rebuilding a deck I asked him what it was it turned out to be Yugioh, I loved the game from the start watched the show as a kid started playing at 12 that was 9years ago. Also this happened to me in the 7th grade my friend Austin and I were playing in TAP class, and the principal just happened to be checking the door. While we were playing Yugioh in TAP class. Needlessly to say the very next day Yugioh got banned from PCMS that year. During my first Yugioh tournament I was looking at some people playing Yugioh and when I went back to grab my Yugioh binder some of my cards got stolen My Friend David knew who syloe my cards. A duelist should always stay alert and aware of their surroundings. RIP Formula Sychron!!!! Also great video guys!! #TeamAPSisawesome
Had all of my valuable cards in my hoodie pocket and my mom washed my hoodie. It was the only time I had ever put my cards in my pocket and I was trying to convince my dad that the cards actually had monetary value to them so we were going to a card shop the next day so I put my cards in there so I would be ready for tomorrow. I was devastated when they were washed and I didnt play yugioh for 15 years and now I'm finally back and I have to say if it wasnt for your channel and the character that you all display as well as your knowledge on YuGiOh I probably wouldn't be back in it. So, thank you.
Things that make it worse: >Ghost Rare >Guy who stole it refuses to give it back because "he found it on the ground" and "you have no proof it was yours" Both occured when someone in my middle school stole my ghost rare Stardust Dragon. He said those same things when I found the same card two years later
Seeing how your mom throws them into the fire, that was the worst feeling ever. Eventually I found out those weren't my cards, they were some cards that my uncle (who is a teacher) threw into the fire. I got mine back, I felt relieved but at the same time I felt bad for those kids who got their cards burned, and also because i wanted to keep those cards xD. Probably teachers who keep cards forever just give them to their nephews or sons so they don't have to spend money on an actual gift.
Miguel Mejia Dude seeing your comment just reminded me of how my teachers used to always take my cards or deck. And she wouldn't give it until Friday after school at 3pm 😢 man those were the days..
I once had a glass of white grape juice by my bed (I think I was in 5th or 6th grade at the time) and my Tempest Magician ended up spending the night in it; Tempest Magician was salvageable, and I still play it to this day, as a reminder to make sure my cards are safe. I did have a couple cards (if memory serves, there was a Relinquished, Black Skull Dragon, and Dust Tornado - all holofoil) stolen right out of my locker. I never got those specific cards back, but I did get at least one other copy of each over the years, so all's well that ends well, I guess. My high school boyfriend lost a Dark Magician that was in his coat pocket by using his coat to try putting out a fire in the engine compartment of his parents' vehicle.
traded exodia for god cards; then Brandon stole my entire collection INCLUDING the cards just traded. Made me quit YuGiOh! for 7 years straight. We even scoped out his house, had a third party confirm he stole the cards, brought up evidence to his parents, and they COVERED for him stealing they helped their kid steal... May he suffer infinitely in the shadow realm!!!
I remember my big brother bought me two Force of the Breaker packs from Target and they were 1st Edition for my birthday and I pulled an Ultimate Rare Gravekeeper's Commandant and my little brother accidentally spilled a glass of water all over it. 😭💔
DG Phoenix oh we were 99% of who it was, but we had no physical proof. We were sure it was him because we had caught him stealing cards before. Just never expected him to resort to Breaking and Entering.
TL DR - Nearly had 100+ cards stolen from me when I first started playing in 2002 by the granddaughter of my maternal grandfather's caretakers. I used to play Yugioh at almost the very beginning, from like 2002 to 2008 and always very casually. I grew up in a smaller town so there was no opportunity for me to enter a tournament. Anyway, back in the summer of 2002 when I had just started collecting and trying to learn how to play, I only had the Kaiba deck and 6 MRD packs worth at the time, my parents brother and I were visiting my maternal grandfather in another city for a few weeks and he had two caretakers that lived in a basement suite of his house that would help look after him. Their granddaughter was visiting them and staying over during that same summer. Right when I met her, I had a feeling something was off with her. My parents had taught me from the very very beginning to always be careful with my cards. To keep this brief, I decided to keep my cards in my parents suitcase while she stayed over, and I would always check on them a few times a day when she wasn't around. On the last day my family was there, I saw her saying bye to her grandparents and packed up ready to go home. I asked my parents to check my cards, and the cards are gone. Immediately my parents confronted her grandmother about it, she said she'll call her then and immediately they said we aren't calling her, they were going to go straight over there. When they got there, she had the cards strewn all over the table, meanwhile her mother didn't have a care in the world about where the cards came from. In the end I did get everything back, but according to my Dad the only thing the grandmother said to her was "You make a poor thief." And yes, before someone asks, I did get the Kaiba box back, and I still have the full set to this day, including the box, black plastic tray, manual and paper mat. I even have the Millennium eye stickers still half stuck on the top.
I had about 80 cards in 5th grade. They were given to me to start playing with about 2ish years prior. At the end of the year the computer science teacher handed me a box in front of all my yugioh buddies. It had like 500 cards in it. I instantly became THE person to trade with and I got soooo many good cards at the time by trading a handful monsters that I thought were bad. They were all so jelly of me lol it was great. I still have ALL of those cards that I didn't trade away. EDIT: the teacher said he's had the cards for like 4 years when he gave me them. And I at the time was just excited to get so many cards, especially bc allot were rare. But it is literal stealing. Ive always fought for my stuff if a teacher took it. They have ZERO right to take anything of a students unless it is dangerous to themselves or their peers. If it's not handing back at the end of class, then that teacher is a thief and an asshole. In my opinion at least.... maybe that's why they tended to just send my stuff to the office which I knew I could collect later with 100% certainty.
When I was a kid, I kept my small collection of cards in several booster packs, held together with a rubber band. After I went back home from my next door neighbor with my cards, I noticed my pack with most of my holos (including DDS Exodia and LOB Flame Swordsman) were "missing". My neighbor said he didn't find it and I never saw those cards again. It wasn't the only thing I "lost" either, a game of mine was missing too... months later.
This happened to me as a 30 yr old adult, I got into playing to be able to do something with my son and at the time I had 2 ghost rare honest in my deck and another guy at my locals who I thought was a straight up guy wanted to take a look at my deck and I thought I had watched him closely but when I got home both the Honest were gone....I have had other experiences where cards were stolen out of mine or my son's binder and I have learned from those mistakes but nothing more devastating than 2 of the hottest cards of the time and by all means am I rich or well off I had to wheel and deal to get those in the first place so there is my worst way I have lost cards
I remember back in middle school I had a binder full of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and they were all asleep tub and one day when I was coming back home from school I was walking back home it’s starting to rain on me and I was dancing I was playing I was singing in the rain and when I got back home I took off my backpack and it was weird I went and took a shower and didn’t even think about the binder and then when I came back to the backpack I was like damn it’s kind of wet I opened up the backpack some of the stuff was dry but I looked and it was the binder the first thing that caught my eye and all of the cards were wet and there was water trapped inside the binder so there was cards still getting wet as I looked through the binder and it destroyed me lol so I started from the beginning again and mind you these cards where all the ones I loved so that sucks lol I’m glad I found this channel lol I feel like I’m back at that time where I didn’t have to care about anything but grades and games
I've had binders stolen from my bag when I went to lunch in middle school, and high school. I think the worst thing was when you would leave your stuff with people you considered friends and come to find that you're missing specific cards after having them watch your stuff. I had one teacher confiscate an all common water deck once as well because me and a few friends were playing when there was no more course work to be done (we had a habit of finishing all of our work quickly so we could play during class).
Has anyone just have a card vanish from existence. Like, you can’t find it anywhere, was sitting in a storage box, and when you want to go grab it to build a deck it just wasn’t there, and then you go online to find the exact one from the exact set you got it from and it just didn’t even exist in that set anymore?
when i was in grade eight i built a red eyes deck and one day i went to my bag to grab out my deck and realised my deck was gone, i dont know if i left it somewhere or, if someone stole it, but i never saw that whole deck again
I remember when i was younger, I had a deck that i think one of my friends gave to me as a present, and one day, me being clumsy, accidentally spilled water all over the cards and when that happened, i just started crying cause some of those cards were rare and they were special to me
When I was in like 2nd grade I was in this day care thing and at the time Yugioh was the big thing there, whenever I had to go do something I put my deck in a cubby that they gave us and every time I left someone would nock them over and make a mess, so since I didn’t want them to get tipped nocked over again I GLUED THEM TOGETHER, I had lost about 5 cards to it until I realized what I did and I was devastated. Now I look back and laugh at how stupid I was back then.
At school I was sorta bullied by some kids and I had a card in my pocket , they got to it and tore it apart . I was pretty much devastated after that , but since my mom was the nicest person to ever exist , she got me some new cards to replace the one I lost . :)
My machina starter deck was stolen when the class went to lunch. Not only my cards but someone else’s cards and some other people’s stuff. 😔 Fifth grade was rough.
never had any cards stolen, but then again i'm cautious as hell. never taking too many things with me to events. i misplaced a lot cards in various boxes. drove me crazy for days until i broke down and went through everything to find the cards.
I remember a while ago I had just gotten the dragon ruler tins for Christmas so i then took them to my friends house to play. They suddenly went missing so I had to go home without them. A couple of months ago I got invited to the same friends house to play yugioh. He pulled out his deck and showed me his “invincible” dragon cards and what do you know, the main boss monsters were ALL FOUR OF MY DRAGONS.
i remember during my last year in high school i learned not to use tins and a backpack for carrying cards on rainy days. i got to school and all the cards were stuck together. which inspired me to buy a waterproof bag.
When I was about 12 my family and I moved to a different city. After unpacking I noticed some of my rarest cards were gone, I thought maybe they were somewhere in our unpacked stuff. I eventually forgot about them. About a year later I visit my old nextdoor neighborhood from the city we used to live in because we were best friends. We dueled and I noticed they had a lot of the cards I was missing, even the Japanese cards. I called them out but they denied it.
I quit Yu-Gi-Oh! A year ago, now I am getting back into it. I hid a secret rare Borrelsword, Borreload, Colossus. I am currently on a quest to locate them. The first two for my B.A. deck, and the second for sentimental value.
My brother lost a White-Horned dragon and several other cards to a teacher in the third grade. It really sucked for him because he never got those cards back. He did eventually get another White-Horned Dragon.
I was in a part of the country called kenskof. Left my cards outside for 5 minutes as they called us for snack time. And it started raining so hard. By the time i got back, my ENTIRE wizards and dino decks were destroyed. Especially the ones in sleeves
When I was a kid, I'd play with my next door neighbor, and one day there was a downpour when I was headed home. I'd take a shortcut over the stream between our houses, and this time I sprinted, trying to keep my cards dry. By the time I got home, I was so soaked I forgot about my cards until the next day. They'd fallen out of my pocket, so all my favorites got soaked. I had to peel them off each other, and I still have a man-eater bug with a chunk taken out, and a masaki the legendary swordsman (or whatever his name is. The fusion materiel for Flame Swordsman) with a spell card stuck to the back. My ryu-ran got busted, too. But luckily that was when I was just getting started.
My brother lost a deck featuring summoned skull, holo blue-eyes, dark magician, magic cylinder. They were my cards. He also once lost my 5 pieces of Exodia
Here, on Brazil, some priest said (when yugioh became popular something like 15 years ago) that YuGiOh card are demons contracts and we gamble our souls while playing (maybe he watched some "shadow duel"?), and most of moms and dads from the time started to throw cards away. Lost a bunch of cards like this
I remember the time I lost all of my cards at school. There was two decks of cards and two deck boxes. It was gone for a whole week. I thought they were gone for good but one day one of my teachers asked me if these cards was mine, and they were all there. I was happy to get them back
My mom was cleaning out my room while I was gone and she put a box containing all of my cards in the garage. After a while, she cleaned out the garage and threw it away. When I asked about it she said they were in the garage and all I could find was a bag that had my main deck at the time. So, I had some saving grace.
I will always remember when i was at a friends house with the old megaman battlenet navie things, was getting into a car holding my deck box and the naive went off. Placed my box down on the water meter and just jumped into the car focusing on battling the "virus" that had popped up. We took off and i remembered on the way back that i left my deck behind. When we got back it was gone :c it was an elemental hero deck that i had spent a long time crafting. Ended up having to rebuild it from scratch.
I remember once when the coordenator from the school took not only mine but also my friends cards. During the break we went to his office when he was not there, i entered found the cards i got away, like a heist.
I remember once my friend got his new deck taken off him. And he just made the deck so he was really mad, so what he did was we snuck into the classroom when the teacher was gone and we replaced his new deck with his old one. And at the end of the day he got his old one back anyway
Bus driver took them. I had just finished collecting all the holos from Metal Raiders in a binder and passed them to a friend on the bus; I had extras of some and he wanted to trade for stuff. Another kid saw what we were doing and ratted on us. I was usually pretty sneaky with my cards, and only the "cool teachers" knew I had them. That binder though... I never saw it again...
Well my Yu-Gi-Oh cards weren't washed, but my gameboy pocket and pokemon red version was LOL (when the pocket was still new). However I did leave my two decks back then, Joey and Pegasus decks, in the back seat of my grandmothers vehicle when I went to visit her when I was young, and her car was hi-jacked that same weekend....
My grandma took my cards one day when I was a little kid. I didn’t see them again for 10 years because she had locked them in the safe in her closet, and there was an original print Black Luster Soldier in it.
The only time I lost my cards was on the bus, I kept my cards in a deck box and the deck, box, and sleeves were all gifts, so it hurt much worse when I forgot them on the bus, but luckily the deck box, sleeves, and all the cards were still on the bus the next day.
My cards got taken away at the beginning of the year and I couldn’t get them back until summer. A few days later i saw them in the principle’s office, and when he was gone I just walked in and grabbed my cards
I think I never had the misfortune of having cards straight up stolen but of the times I did lose cards, 9 times out of 10, it was because of teachers. This was back in middle school. Initially, teachers had no problems with the cards, it was just kids playing games, but eventually, they got it in their minds that this somehow encouraged gambling and decided to prohibit us from playing the game on school grounds. That wasn't gonna stop us, of course. If anything, it made playing the game slightly more exciting. At lunch time, we'd meet in secluded areas of the school to duel or trade and we usually had people be spotters (aka the "kid that tells us when a teacher is coming"). One of my most cherished middle school memories was a trade conducted under the rain, in a secluded area of the school, during lunchtime. I remember almost everything about it but the actual cards involved haha. I do know I got Necrofear from it, but I can't recall what I gave in exchange. We had someone holding an umbrella over us as a group of five or six of us went over the cards. This memory just sticks with me for some reason. Maybe it was because of the rainy, gray day of a setting, coupled with the fact that we knew we weren't supposed to be engaging in such "illicit" activities, evoked a feeling of being a group of criminals in some noire movie hahah. That said, there were definitely instances when the "system" we had going failed us. Sometimes teachers would show up unnoticed and we'd be caught in the act. There was little use scrambling to gather your cards. They knew you had them, and they were gonna take them away, but perhaps you could salvage a few precious ones. Some other times, people who witnessed us play were just asshole kids and they'd go tell the teachers. It was just par for the course in this little YGO lunchtime mafia world we lived in. The rarity factor of cards when you were a kid definitely made the loss more painful. As you guys said, you maybe got a booster pack or two, so you really valued whatever you had.
When I was a little kid I put my cards in a drawer and forgot about them. I kept filling it up with stuff till it was “my junk drawer.” A little while ago I remembered they were in there, and wanted to get them out. But I couldn’t open it cos a box jammed it. I was able to fit my skinny arm in there and get 1 card back. The rest still remain in the junk drawer.
I was at a running event for my younger brother alongside my dad. I had a Rainbow Neos Deck in my jacket pocket and sure enough the pocket that the deck was in was too loose. I ran with my bro and cards started falling out. I came back home with at least a 30 card list and 10 card extra deck. That made me so mad and I decided to disassemble the deck and make a new one. Regardless of what deck I made, that was one of my favorite decks that I ever built and played with.
I had a yugioh joey wheeler deck with red eyes and baby dragon and more cards this deck I built and i left the deck in my bag and it was outside and it started to rain and i had forgot them outside but they had sleeves but more than half of the cards were very wet
Back when Invasion of Chaos came out and I was a wee lad, I had my deck in a plastic bag instead of deckbox. My dog associated plastic sandwich bags with food in there, an got it, biting clean through my 1st Ed Black Luster Soldier- Envoy of the Begining. Still got. Still hurts
In the 5th grade (early 2003) I had two teachers--Mr. Divelbiss and Ms. Skinner. Ms. Skinner was more serious and fun-limiting while Mr. Divelbiss was kind of goofy and relaxed. I remember him having a bunch of Simpson's collectibles on his desk. Ms. Skinner wasn't there one day and Mr. Divelbiss let me bring out my starter deck Kaiba and Yugi and spread them out on the floor to show them off. Not only did he let me bring my cards, he bought me them, too. I had ADHD real bad as a kid and he would bribe me to behave by buying packs and giving me a random card at the end of the week if I behaved. I remember getting an ultra-rare Seven Tools of the Bandit this way. Unfortunately, though, this girl in my class found out and wanted one. She ended up getting a Launcher Spider which I was really jealous of. I was thinking something like "This is bull-crap..she doesn't even like Yu-Gi-Oh! and gets a strong card like that?" I challenged her to a duel and some other teacher that overheard said "that's inappropriate" and I was so confused. I didn't realize at the time that she thought I was referring to a traditional weapon-based duel. Also, one of those random cards I got from Mr. Divelbiss was a common Type Zero Magic Crusher which I didn't like so I gave it to my friend. When we got off the bus there was this seventh grader who saw the card I had just given him and said "I don't have that yet, want to trade?" and traded him a damn super rare magical hats for it, which I really liked. Not a lost card story but thought I'd share anyway.
I worked as a supervisor as an adult, at the elementary school I attended when I was a child. On the playground I was in my sector, and it was during this one 6th grade classes’ PE time,the kids from that class had to do laps around the field, my sector was in the back by the softball kickball cage thing, and a kid wasn’t running, so I investigated to encourage him to get back into the excersize and keep running, as I got closer he shoved something into his pocket, I thought he might have just been texting on his phone, which is something you aren’t supposed to have out during school hours so I would have just said put it away, no big deal. But he was actually skimming thru his entire deck of Pokémon cards. I asked him to hand the cards over (with NO INTENT to get him in trouble) but he begged and begged and crocodile tears me to not take them, but eventually he did hand them over, I simply just explained to him, I’m literally just gonna hand them to your teacher, and she will give them to the front office and when your mom or dad comes to pick you up today, just have them get them from the front office, but he said he wasn’t supposed to have them because his mom took them, so I said, look, I have to give them to your teacher, I can’t just keep them or give them back, I told him I’d be in trouble myself if I don’t confiscate them because if it was found out that I talked to you about it without confiscating them, I’d be fired. So I ended up walking over to the teacher (who I actually personally know) ((my mother works at that school as a 6th grade teacher, so I know most of the staff at the school personally)) so I told this teacher, here are his Pokémon cards, can you please make sure he gets these back when school is over, his mom doesn’t know he has these and making his parents get these from the office will cause him to get in trouble outside of the class. Well I don’t know what happened after that, except the next day I saw the kid, the kid saw me and he simply gave me a thumbs up, I don’t know what that means but that’s my story.
Whats the whole point in taking the kids cards its not a gun or phone. Your kind of an asshole reminds me of the others who did the same thing but never gave back what they took plus no one would fire u for not taking a kids paper cards liar
Not YuGiOh but I had a big binder of Pokemon cards and my mother is a recovering drug addict so at the time, she sold my binder witch had alot of rare cards that alone could go for 5-10 dollars. And the binder was 27 dollars. She sold it all for 15 dollars and that's what stopped me from collecting pokemon. Now I collect YuGiOh and don't tell my mom about it.
My friend had his whole deck stolen by the popular kids and the worst part was that all his cards were given to him by me and another friend and his parents wouldn't let him buy his own. Luckily he got most of them back.
Hey guys, have you ever lost your cards in the grass? I used to play in the field during recess, and that led to...issues.
Darn Sogen
That grass looks thicker
No i use the paper mas from the structure decks
@@youranimeboi9640 paper mas?
You forgot one. Over-confident ante (or hustling). I'm certain there's a few of us who were hustled out of cards/decks because they conned us.
Anyone born between 1998 and 2001 will remember the struggle of playing underground Bakugan in Elementary school.
I was one of the best brawlers in my school back in the day. During lunch, we'd battle it out on the concrete. Set the Gate Cards and start rolling them.
I remember opening my bakugan on my school desk and having it sit either magnetized upside down on the metal frame so the teachers couldn't see them, or hide them in my pencil case looking at me.
Those were the days.
@@neverendinchaos4800 those were the days. I remember bakugan got big enough where everyone played it and our teacher in 4th grade actually let us play one day during a "free day". It was awesome

My senior year in my AP English class after writing a essay a few of us were playing in the back of the classroom, and my teacher took my deck. We continued to play all year, but towards the end of the year the teacher decided if we were gonna play she would understand the game so she watched tutorials and tried to duel us using my deck she had taken from me and wanted me to duel for it back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you win it back?

I remember my first tournament when I was like 7 or so; I showed up with a standard mix of everything deck. I sat down to play and tried to throw down blue eyes first turn; and instead of roasting me the older kid actually gave me an entire deck with sleeves, and taught me the basics of the game so I could play! when I went to give it back he told me to keep it. Ill never forget that lol.
When I was 8, my grandpa had bought me a Yu GI OH card from a shop, it turned out to be dark magician girl. I was dueling a kid from my block and he noticed i had the card he wanted and try to steal it from then. Weeks later I was bought a duel disk and felt pretty badass, same kid saw me and wanted it. Turns out one day I come back to my house and my window was open and my duel disk and magician girl where missing from my room. My uncle was able to recover the duel disk since it had my initials, but the dark magician girl? Never saw her again.

Once I dropped mine on the street and my little brother ripped it, R.i.p my Holographic Dark Magician.
It's was 3rd grade. I brought my deck to lunch and wanted to play with my friend who was in my class and then my teacher came over and took mine and my friend's deck even though one of the 4th graders had a deck too and she didn't give them and I even had the chance to take it one time but I didn't and then later at the end of the year she actually gave them back and I even forgot they were mine when she gave them back.

I still always remember having my Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon stolen from me back in elementary school. And also how at on point the wind picked up and blew a lot of my cards into a sewer drain. I have never lost cards to a washing machine though

i'm happy you don't want our cards stolen.
i was actually looking for my old cards then I got this notification HAHAHAH
I have 3 stories: First in elementary school during recess I had a copy of The Unhappy Maiden which got blown out of my hand (it was a particularly windy day), no one was fast enough to catch up to it. Second (which is more of a mystery, though it probably just got thrown out while someone was cleaning) was when my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth disappeared; last time I saw it it was on my closet floor (this was a time when 10-12 year old me didn't care about keeping my cards in good shape), and when I finally decided to put it with the rest of my collection it was gone. And lastly; though not my own card, there was a day where this kid made some of my friends and I think he stole another kid's Armed Dragon LV. 5, we catch up with him and we find out he did no such thing and that he was simply messing with us. I punched him in the stomach and we never saw him again.
Does anyone know how to fix washed cards?!!! #AskTheSquad
If only there was a way
My friend dropped his deck in the rain after school and in the morning me and another friend found it all ruined. We scooped up what could be salvaged and gave them back to him to see what he wanted to do with them . So many foils were murdered that day
So not washed but water damaged
Alec Fields the one time that I lost a card WBA’s when I put my deck in my pocket to take it to recess and the card at the bottom got bent in half somehow, I almost cried
put it out in the sun and it became crispy
Put them on the radiator lol
Microwave? O.o
I once left mines in the pocket in my pants and took them to the laundry and well they were ruined. They were hard crispy cardboards
My mother threw out my original Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards, funny thing is all my cards where crapy commons back then so I had to start from scratch and then I built elemental heroes
Sorry about your old deck man also Awesome elements heroes are awesome.
Neither card is crap lol
Man, I had my Blue-Eyes Shining stolen when I was a kid.
Darkslayer289 that’s okay they probably never summoned it anyway 😂
I lost a secret rare god card. Try me I cried for half an hour
Same happened to me. A classmate and a friend of him stole a few cards from me. After that I met with the guy’s younger brother which was in my class as well. He shared a room with his older brother who stored my cards. One day he was out I took my cards back.
They are pretty affordable now.
Man, I feel so sorry when I hear that you guys had so many thefts at school... For us it was a SUPER rarity and everybody would be on high alert if somebody had their cards stolen and we'd all help to figure out what happened to the cards when they went missing.
Gonna be honest, but during a later part of my childhood when I was into collecting each of the old school (GX) structure decks, out of the first 4 from Dragon's Roar to Fury From the Deep, I had always kept those in particular at home HOWEVER at some point and I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything worth a disciplined scolding for, I only had my Blaze of Destruction structure and the remaining 3 just apparently vanished and I never was able to find or get them back with the time I spent in that house
I remember in Elementary (Back when OG Yugioh was in its prime in America) yugioh and pokemon were everywhere. As a six year old, I was under the impression if I had every card Yugi Moto had i'd be invincible(we played with anime rules so I cheated a lot and won lol). I had all my 1st edition cards from all beginning starter decks(fake god cards too and yugioh poker cards that had stars and levels for some reason) and I bought my first issue of Shoulin jump which came with Dark Paladin. They lost their edges because i'd always keep them in my pocket EVERYWHERE i'd go. Hurts me to think about it lol Eventually they ended up getting washed up in the washing machine and I quit... Till Elemental Heroes became a thing. Then my collection got stolen by movers years later. What got me back into it was several channels like you guys, also the legendary yugi decks box tickled my nostalgia bone. Been collecting again ever since.
I think I'm the only person that never got cards stolen, I might have because I didn't use a binder back when I first started but they ALL sucked so if one was stolen I never knew... Also I've never had my cards taken by a teacher, all my teacher either told me to put it away (which I did) or they would ask me about it and let me explain to them why I play it and what it is and that it's not bad
was back in 2008, I was 12 back then, I just started understanding competitive yugioh..Me and my brother would go to locals, and we had a Dark World and a D Hero deck. During Summer, when I'd take a break from the game for "summer stuff", my 3 mentally ill and deaf cousins (no joke) visited us from Italy, they stayed for a while. During their stay, I hid everything that would be considered "entertaining" from them, cuz they'd either steal it or break it. Little did i know, they had a eye on me taking my cards out of my parents room everytime. Time goes, summer vacation ends, they return to Italy, and I can't find my Tin Box where I had all my yu-Gi-Oh cards. For some reason I never cared, thinking they'd just be there "somewhere". January, we visited them in their home during New year holidays. First thing I see as I step into their house : 1 half of "Silva Warlord of Dark World". In the fraction of a sec, I knew what happened that summer. Not only were my cards stolen, but they weren't in a good condition either...That day, i'll never forget..I beat the crap out of their eldest, front of her parents. Took a good beating from my parents as well. Then I quit the game for 11 years...Til this month.
the worst way I lost my yugioh cards was in a fire when I was 12 years old and 4 cards survived I still keep them since they only have the slightly burned edge
there was one class i played ygo in, and the teacher there was pretty cool with it once i explained the most baisc of game mechanics.and she realized the math and critical thinking skills involved in the game were actually helpful. (math teacher/class). also me an my opponent communicated our moves with notes, as a means of keeping quiet and not distracting any other students.
Paul's still so salty about his Blue-Eyes 😂
When I was younger, my older brother sold all my yugioh cards on ebay. I've had my Bakugan taken by my teachers as well.
I turned 14 and gave mine away because I thought I outgrew them, one of the worst desitions I've made. NEVER GIVE YOUR CARDS AWAY TO A CHILD!
You probably helped someone get into the game. You may never know what kind of impact that had on them and it may have helped spread the game to more people.
(Kind of a long read)
That reminds me of a similar situation with myself. I had decided it was time to leave yugioh behind, so I went to school one fateful rainy day and I gave my tin with most of my cards in it to my friend. Then some kid was getting annoyed at how my friend was getting all of my cards, so I gave him my best deck. I told both of them to just *keep them as they were in case I ever returned to the game.*
About a year later, I returned to that room in the library and I asked if I could have my cards back. The friend I gave my tin to told me that everyone else in the room swarmed him and eventually everyone in that room took as many cards as they could from my tin until there was nothing left inside it. All my friend had was the tin itself.
As for my deck, the person I gave it to was getting all worked up over it because he thought I was never coming back to the game. He was saying something like, "You gave it to me so it's my property and by law you have to pay me to have it back." I'd given my best deck to him for FREE and now he wanted me to PAY him to get it back...
He was asking for $10. I basically sorted out with the friend I gave my tin to that we'd each give him $5 to get my deck back.
That was such an annoying situation. I eventually got my deck back, but the deck WAS NOT how I had left it. He said he had put "upgrades" in it, but all he'd done was taken all of the good staple cards and replaced them for garbage cards.
That was such a devastating time for me. All I had left was a worse version of my old deck...
This is why I don't trust anyone with my cards anymore.
NeverEndinChaos oof
@@neverendinchaos4800 I mean it's your fault dude for giving your stuff away
I used to have an entire collection of Yugioh cards and I had lots of Pokemon stuff as well. What happened with that stuff was my dad had put that stuff in a storage unit since we didn't have room to put it anywhere we were living at. And according to my dad, some guy broke into our storage unit as well as other units that were holding stuff. And the guy just took boxes and boxes of things, which one of those boxes happened to hold my entire Yugioh collection and my Pokemon collection as well as other merchandise. It sucked, my dad tried to get them back and called the cops and everything but that stuff is long gone now. Ain't gonna lie, I had about 10 different Yugioh decks and about 2000+ Yugioh Cards including some rare stuff. For my Pokemon stuff I had 5 different Pokemon decks and 5000+ Pokemon cards including some rare stuff. Worked on the collection for over 8 years and it was really frustrating that it was just gone. Ended up starting over, I don't have nearly as much cards as I did but I'm getting there.
There is is a guy at my locals who has two evenly matched fused together from rain damage
Yurisbest What does that look like? Haha
My friend accidentally left a Danger!? Tsuchinoko in his bag, unsleeved and in the rain. Luckily it was fine for the most part
Imagine bring your deck to school on the week your teacher is not there and there's a sub and instead of reading you sat by the teachers desk and dueled! OH!! I did that!
You made me scared when you said "you in the back "😨
Omg they highlighted me 😁
Hahaha love these guys! Much love from the UK!
When I was a kid I ate my brother's cards.
are they good
Team APS when I was in the 6th I met my friend Wyatt was rebuilding a deck I asked him what it was it turned out to be Yugioh, I loved the game from the start watched the show as a kid started playing at 12 that was 9years ago. Also this happened to me in the 7th grade my friend Austin and I were playing in TAP class, and the principal just happened to be checking the door. While we were playing Yugioh in TAP class. Needlessly to say the very next day Yugioh got banned from PCMS that year. During my first Yugioh tournament I was looking at some people playing Yugioh and when I went back to grab my Yugioh binder some of my cards got stolen My Friend David knew who syloe my cards. A duelist should always stay alert and aware of their surroundings. RIP Formula Sychron!!!! Also great video guys!! #TeamAPSisawesome
Katrina was the reason I quit playing for 12 years
I'm sorry your ex didn't allow you to play.
@@doomedhero9579 i-
Had all of my valuable cards in my hoodie pocket and my mom washed my hoodie. It was the only time I had ever put my cards in my pocket and I was trying to convince my dad that the cards actually had monetary value to them so we were going to a card shop the next day so I put my cards in there so I would be ready for tomorrow. I was devastated when they were washed and I didnt play yugioh for 15 years and now I'm finally back and I have to say if it wasnt for your channel and the character that you all display as well as your knowledge on YuGiOh I probably wouldn't be back in it. So, thank you.
Stolen :(
:( i know the pain
That's worse than a natural disaster. Sorry fam
Feels bad man, a moment of silence for your stolen cards.
I lost 3 decks at once. Luckily my school counselor gave me some of his old cards and I made a roid deck. It kept me from quitting Yugioh
Things that make it worse:
>Ghost Rare
>Guy who stole it refuses to give it back because "he found it on the ground" and "you have no proof it was yours"
Both occured when someone in my middle school stole my ghost rare Stardust Dragon. He said those same things when I found the same card two years later
Seeing how your mom throws them into the fire, that was the worst feeling ever. Eventually I found out those weren't my cards, they were some cards that my uncle (who is a teacher) threw into the fire. I got mine back, I felt relieved but at the same time I felt bad for those kids who got their cards burned, and also because i wanted to keep those cards xD. Probably teachers who keep cards forever just give them to their nephews or sons so they don't have to spend money on an actual gift.
Miguel Mejia Dude seeing your comment just reminded me of how my teachers used to always take my cards or deck. And she wouldn't give it until Friday after school at 3pm 😢 man those were the days..
my mom washed my Winged Dragon of Ra
@chimi flipin changas Naa when cards go through the washing machine they always go into a ball. He had the original sphere mode!
My brother kept stealing mine and eventually it ended up in the wash. I still give him shit for it
I fell so bad
Don't worry Paul I kept that card safe
My teachers think my cards are cool!! yayy
My college games dev tutor roasted me about playing Yugioh and told me to play Magic and Vaguard
I once had a glass of white grape juice by my bed (I think I was in 5th or 6th grade at the time) and my Tempest Magician ended up spending the night in it; Tempest Magician was salvageable, and I still play it to this day, as a reminder to make sure my cards are safe.
I did have a couple cards (if memory serves, there was a Relinquished, Black Skull Dragon, and Dust Tornado - all holofoil) stolen right out of my locker. I never got those specific cards back, but I did get at least one other copy of each over the years, so all's well that ends well, I guess.
My high school boyfriend lost a Dark Magician that was in his coat pocket by using his coat to try putting out a fire in the engine compartment of his parents' vehicle.
traded exodia for god cards; then Brandon stole my entire collection INCLUDING the cards just traded. Made me quit YuGiOh! for 7 years straight. We even scoped out his house, had a third party confirm he stole the cards, brought up evidence to his parents, and they COVERED for him stealing they helped their kid steal... May he suffer infinitely in the shadow realm!!!
I remember my big brother bought me two Force of the Breaker packs from Target and they were 1st Edition for my birthday and I pulled an Ultimate Rare Gravekeeper's Commandant and my little brother accidentally spilled a glass of water all over it. 😭💔
Someone legit broke into my house and stole my cards. They left everything else, they just wanted the Yugioh cards
Must be someone from locals
DG Phoenix oh we were 99% of who it was, but we had no physical proof. We were sure it was him because we had caught him stealing cards before. Just never expected him to resort to Breaking and Entering.
The same happened to me.😩 and some ps2 games.
TL DR - Nearly had 100+ cards stolen from me when I first started playing in 2002 by the granddaughter of my maternal grandfather's caretakers.
I used to play Yugioh at almost the very beginning, from like 2002 to 2008 and always very casually. I grew up in a smaller town so there was no opportunity for me to enter a tournament. Anyway, back in the summer of 2002 when I had just started collecting and trying to learn how to play, I only had the Kaiba deck and 6 MRD packs worth at the time, my parents brother and I were visiting my maternal grandfather in another city for a few weeks and he had two caretakers that lived in a basement suite of his house that would help look after him. Their granddaughter was visiting them and staying over during that same summer. Right when I met her, I had a feeling something was off with her. My parents had taught me from the very very beginning to always be careful with my cards. To keep this brief, I decided to keep my cards in my parents suitcase while she stayed over, and I would always check on them a few times a day when she wasn't around. On the last day my family was there, I saw her saying bye to her grandparents and packed up ready to go home. I asked my parents to check my cards, and the cards are gone.
Immediately my parents confronted her grandmother about it, she said she'll call her then and immediately they said we aren't calling her, they were going to go straight over there. When they got there, she had the cards strewn all over the table, meanwhile her mother didn't have a care in the world about where the cards came from.
In the end I did get everything back, but according to my Dad the only thing the grandmother said to her was "You make a poor thief." And yes, before someone asks, I did get the Kaiba box back, and I still have the full set to this day, including the box, black plastic tray, manual and paper mat. I even have the Millennium eye stickers still half stuck on the top.
I had about 80 cards in 5th grade. They were given to me to start playing with about 2ish years prior. At the end of the year the computer science teacher handed me a box in front of all my yugioh buddies. It had like 500 cards in it. I instantly became THE person to trade with and I got soooo many good cards at the time by trading a handful monsters that I thought were bad. They were all so jelly of me lol it was great. I still have ALL of those cards that I didn't trade away.
EDIT: the teacher said he's had the cards for like 4 years when he gave me them. And I at the time was just excited to get so many cards, especially bc allot were rare. But it is literal stealing. Ive always fought for my stuff if a teacher took it. They have ZERO right to take anything of a students unless it is dangerous to themselves or their peers. If it's not handing back at the end of class, then that teacher is a thief and an asshole. In my opinion at least.... maybe that's why they tended to just send my stuff to the office which I knew I could collect later with 100% certainty.
When I was a kid, I kept my small collection of cards in several booster packs, held together with a rubber band. After I went back home from my next door neighbor with my cards, I noticed my pack with most of my holos (including DDS Exodia and LOB Flame Swordsman) were "missing". My neighbor said he didn't find it and I never saw those cards again. It wasn't the only thing I "lost" either, a game of mine was missing too... months later.
This happened to me as a 30 yr old adult, I got into playing to be able to do something with my son and at the time I had 2 ghost rare honest in my deck and another guy at my locals who I thought was a straight up guy wanted to take a look at my deck and I thought I had watched him closely but when I got home both the Honest were gone....I have had other experiences where cards were stolen out of mine or my son's binder and I have learned from those mistakes but nothing more devastating than 2 of the hottest cards of the time and by all means am I rich or well off I had to wheel and deal to get those in the first place so there is my worst way I have lost cards
I remember back in middle school I had a binder full of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and they were all asleep tub and one day when I was coming back home from school I was walking back home it’s starting to rain on me and I was dancing I was playing I was singing in the rain and when I got back home I took off my backpack and it was weird I went and took a shower and didn’t even think about the binder and then when I came back to the backpack I was like damn it’s kind of wet I opened up the backpack some of the stuff was dry but I looked and it was the binder the first thing that caught my eye and all of the cards were wet and there was water trapped inside the binder so there was cards still getting wet as I looked through the binder and it destroyed me lol so I started from the beginning again and mind you these cards where all the ones I loved so that sucks lol I’m glad I found this channel lol I feel like I’m back at that time where I didn’t have to care about anything but grades and games
I've had binders stolen from my bag when I went to lunch in middle school, and high school. I think the worst thing was when you would leave your stuff with people you considered friends and come to find that you're missing specific cards after having them watch your stuff. I had one teacher confiscate an all common water deck once as well because me and a few friends were playing when there was no more course work to be done (we had a habit of finishing all of our work quickly so we could play during class).
I lost a single Glory of the Noble Knights shuffling in my school's auditorium last year and I'm still not over it.
Has anyone just have a card vanish from existence. Like, you can’t find it anywhere, was sitting in a storage box, and when you want to go grab it to build a deck it just wasn’t there, and then you go online to find the exact one from the exact set you got it from and it just didn’t even exist in that set anymore?
when i was in grade eight i built a red eyes deck and one day i went to my bag to grab out my deck and realised my deck was gone, i dont know if i left it somewhere or, if someone stole it, but i never saw that whole deck again
My mom took a plastic bag, shoved all my cards, my brothers cards and threw em away at a park because we were playing too much video games😭💔
I remember when i was younger, I had a deck that i think one of my friends gave to me as a present, and one day, me being clumsy, accidentally spilled water all over the cards and when that happened, i just started crying cause some of those cards were rare and they were special to me
When I was in like 2nd grade I was in this day care thing and at the time Yugioh was the big thing there, whenever I had to go do something I put my deck in a cubby that they gave us and every time I left someone would nock them over and make a mess, so since I didn’t want them to get tipped nocked over again I GLUED THEM TOGETHER, I had lost about 5 cards to it until I realized what I did and I was devastated. Now I look back and laugh at how stupid I was back then.
the other kids did that to drain all of your good cards.
I love ur content keep up the good work and will u be doing anymore livestream duels
I have lose all my rare and strong strong cards.. I am dead inside.
At school I was sorta bullied by some kids and I had a card in my pocket , they got to it and tore it apart . I was pretty much devastated after that , but since my mom was the nicest person to ever exist , she got me some new cards to replace the one I lost . :)
My machina starter deck was stolen when the class went to lunch. Not only my cards but someone else’s cards and some other people’s stuff. 😔 Fifth grade was rough.
never had any cards stolen, but then again i'm cautious as hell. never taking too many things with me to events.
i misplaced a lot cards in various boxes. drove me crazy for days until i broke down and went through everything to find the cards.
I remember a while ago I had just gotten the dragon ruler tins for Christmas so i then took them to my friends house to play. They suddenly went missing so I had to go home without them. A couple of months ago I got invited to the same friends house to play yugioh. He pulled out his deck and showed me his “invincible” dragon cards and what do you know, the main boss monsters were ALL FOUR OF MY DRAGONS.
i remember during my last year in high school i learned not to use tins and a backpack for carrying cards on rainy days. i got to school and all the cards were stuck together. which inspired me to buy a waterproof bag.
I haven't played in years so I'm starting from scratch I'm excited!!
When I was about 12 my family and I moved to a different city. After unpacking I noticed some of my rarest cards were gone, I thought maybe they were somewhere in our unpacked stuff. I eventually forgot about them. About a year later I visit my old nextdoor neighborhood from the city we used to live in because we were best friends. We dueled and I noticed they had a lot of the cards I was missing, even the Japanese cards. I called them out but they denied it.
I quit Yu-Gi-Oh! A year ago, now I am getting back into it. I hid a secret rare Borrelsword, Borreload, Colossus. I am currently on a quest to locate them. The first two for my B.A. deck, and the second for sentimental value.
My brother lost a White-Horned dragon and several other cards to a teacher in the third grade. It really sucked for him because he never got those cards back. He did eventually get another White-Horned Dragon.
I was in a part of the country called kenskof. Left my cards outside for 5 minutes as they called us for snack time. And it started raining so hard. By the time i got back, my ENTIRE wizards and dino decks were destroyed. Especially the ones in sleeves
When I was a kid, I'd play with my next door neighbor, and one day there was a downpour when I was headed home. I'd take a shortcut over the stream between our houses, and this time I sprinted, trying to keep my cards dry. By the time I got home, I was so soaked I forgot about my cards until the next day. They'd fallen out of my pocket, so all my favorites got soaked. I had to peel them off each other, and I still have a man-eater bug with a chunk taken out, and a masaki the legendary swordsman (or whatever his name is. The fusion materiel for Flame Swordsman) with a spell card stuck to the back. My ryu-ran got busted, too. But luckily that was when I was just getting started.
My brother lost a deck featuring summoned skull, holo blue-eyes, dark magician, magic cylinder. They were my cards. He also once lost my 5 pieces of Exodia
Here, on Brazil, some priest said (when yugioh became popular something like 15 years ago) that YuGiOh card are demons contracts and we gamble our souls while playing (maybe he watched some "shadow duel"?), and most of moms and dads from the time started to throw cards away. Lost a bunch of cards like this
I remember the time I lost all of my cards at school. There was two decks of cards and two deck boxes. It was gone for a whole week. I thought they were gone for good but one day one of my teachers asked me if these cards was mine, and they were all there. I was happy to get them back
My mom was cleaning out my room while I was gone and she put a box containing all of my cards in the garage. After a while, she cleaned out the garage and threw it away. When I asked about it she said they were in the garage and all I could find was a bag that had my main deck at the time. So, I had some saving grace.
I will always remember when i was at a friends house with the old megaman battlenet navie things, was getting into a car holding my deck box and the naive went off. Placed my box down on the water meter and just jumped into the car focusing on battling the "virus" that had popped up. We took off and i remembered on the way back that i left my deck behind. When we got back it was gone :c it was an elemental hero deck that i had spent a long time crafting. Ended up having to rebuild it from scratch.
I remember once when the coordenator from the school took not only mine but also my friends cards. During the break we went to his office when he was not there, i entered found the cards i got away, like a heist.
I remember once my friend got his new deck taken off him. And he just made the deck so he was really mad, so what he did was we snuck into the classroom when the teacher was gone and we replaced his new deck with his old one. And at the end of the day he got his old one back anyway
Bus driver took them. I had just finished collecting all the holos from Metal Raiders in a binder and passed them to a friend on the bus; I had extras of some and he wanted to trade for stuff. Another kid saw what we were doing and ratted on us. I was usually pretty sneaky with my cards, and only the "cool teachers" knew I had them. That binder though... I never saw it again...
Well my Yu-Gi-Oh cards weren't washed, but my gameboy pocket and pokemon red version was LOL (when the pocket was still new). However I did leave my two decks back then, Joey and Pegasus decks, in the back seat of my grandmothers vehicle when I went to visit her when I was young, and her car was hi-jacked that same weekend....
I was playing with my frend and a old man rip the crds up and said ‘im gonna sit here’
My grandma took my cards one day when I was a little kid. I didn’t see them again for 10 years because she had locked them in the safe in her closet, and there was an original print Black Luster Soldier in it.
The only time I lost my cards was on the bus, I kept my cards in a deck box and the deck, box, and sleeves were all gifts, so it hurt much worse when I forgot them on the bus, but luckily the deck box, sleeves, and all the cards were still on the bus the next day.
My cards got taken away at the beginning of the year and I couldn’t get them back until summer. A few days later i saw them in the principle’s office, and when he was gone I just walked in and grabbed my cards
I think I never had the misfortune of having cards straight up stolen but of the times I did lose cards, 9 times out of 10, it was because of teachers. This was back in middle school. Initially, teachers had no problems with the cards, it was just kids playing games, but eventually, they got it in their minds that this somehow encouraged gambling and decided to prohibit us from playing the game on school grounds.
That wasn't gonna stop us, of course. If anything, it made playing the game slightly more exciting. At lunch time, we'd meet in secluded areas of the school to duel or trade and we usually had people be spotters (aka the "kid that tells us when a teacher is coming"). One of my most cherished middle school memories was a trade conducted under the rain, in a secluded area of the school, during lunchtime. I remember almost everything about it but the actual cards involved haha. I do know I got Necrofear from it, but I can't recall what I gave in exchange. We had someone holding an umbrella over us as a group of five or six of us went over the cards. This memory just sticks with me for some reason. Maybe it was because of the rainy, gray day of a setting, coupled with the fact that we knew we weren't supposed to be engaging in such "illicit" activities, evoked a feeling of being a group of criminals in some noire movie hahah.
That said, there were definitely instances when the "system" we had going failed us. Sometimes teachers would show up unnoticed and we'd be caught in the act. There was little use scrambling to gather your cards. They knew you had them, and they were gonna take them away, but perhaps you could salvage a few precious ones. Some other times, people who witnessed us play were just asshole kids and they'd go tell the teachers. It was just par for the course in this little YGO lunchtime mafia world we lived in. The rarity factor of cards when you were a kid definitely made the loss more painful. As you guys said, you maybe got a booster pack or two, so you really valued whatever you had.
When I was a little kid I put my cards in a drawer and forgot about them. I kept filling it up with stuff till it was “my junk drawer.” A little while ago I remembered they were in there, and wanted to get them out. But I couldn’t open it cos a box jammed it. I was able to fit my skinny arm in there and get 1 card back. The rest still remain in the junk drawer.
Break the draw
I was at a running event for my younger brother alongside my dad. I had a Rainbow Neos Deck in my jacket pocket and sure enough the pocket that the deck was in was too loose. I ran with my bro and cards started falling out. I came back home with at least a 30 card list and 10 card extra deck. That made me so mad and I decided to disassemble the deck and make a new one. Regardless of what deck I made, that was one of my favorite decks that I ever built and played with.
5:44- i'm bringing my cards everywere I go.
I had a yugioh joey wheeler deck with red eyes and baby dragon and more cards this deck I built and i left the deck in my bag and it was outside and it started to rain and i had forgot them outside but they had sleeves but more than half of the cards were very wet
Someone once stole two slifer the sky dragons, one winged dragon of Ra, and one obilisk the tormentor
My mom burnt my Borrelsowrd in front of me, that was cold 😔
Back when Invasion of Chaos came out and I was a wee lad, I had my deck in a plastic bag instead of deckbox. My dog associated plastic sandwich bags with food in there, an got it, biting clean through my 1st Ed Black Luster Soldier- Envoy of the Begining. Still got. Still hurts
In the 5th grade (early 2003) I had two teachers--Mr. Divelbiss and Ms. Skinner. Ms. Skinner was more serious and fun-limiting while Mr. Divelbiss was kind of goofy and relaxed. I remember him having a bunch of Simpson's collectibles on his desk. Ms. Skinner wasn't there one day and Mr. Divelbiss let me bring out my starter deck Kaiba and Yugi and spread them out on the floor to show them off. Not only did he let me bring my cards, he bought me them, too. I had ADHD real bad as a kid and he would bribe me to behave by buying packs and giving me a random card at the end of the week if I behaved. I remember getting an ultra-rare Seven Tools of the Bandit this way. Unfortunately, though, this girl in my class found out and wanted one. She ended up getting a Launcher Spider which I was really jealous of. I was thinking something like "This is bull-crap..she doesn't even like Yu-Gi-Oh! and gets a strong card like that?" I challenged her to a duel and some other teacher that overheard said "that's inappropriate" and I was so confused. I didn't realize at the time that she thought I was referring to a traditional weapon-based duel. Also, one of those random cards I got from Mr. Divelbiss was a common Type Zero Magic Crusher which I didn't like so I gave it to my friend. When we got off the bus there was this seventh grader who saw the card I had just given him and said "I don't have that yet, want to trade?" and traded him a damn super rare magical hats for it, which I really liked. Not a lost card story but thought I'd share anyway.
I worked as a supervisor as an adult, at the elementary school I attended when I was a child. On the playground I was in my sector, and it was during this one 6th grade classes’ PE time,the kids from that class had to do laps around the field, my sector was in the back by the softball kickball cage thing, and a kid wasn’t running, so I investigated to encourage him to get back into the excersize and keep running, as I got closer he shoved something into his pocket, I thought he might have just been texting on his phone, which is something you aren’t supposed to have out during school hours so I would have just said put it away, no big deal.
But he was actually skimming thru his entire deck of Pokémon cards. I asked him to hand the cards over (with NO INTENT to get him in trouble) but he begged and begged and crocodile tears me to not take them, but eventually he did hand them over, I simply just explained to him, I’m literally just gonna hand them to your teacher, and she will give them to the front office and when your mom or dad comes to pick you up today, just have them get them from the front office, but he said he wasn’t supposed to have them because his mom took them, so I said, look, I have to give them to your teacher, I can’t just keep them or give them back, I told him I’d be in trouble myself if I don’t confiscate them because if it was found out that I talked to you about it without confiscating them, I’d be fired. So I ended up walking over to the teacher (who I actually personally know) ((my mother works at that school as a 6th grade teacher, so I know most of the staff at the school personally)) so I told this teacher, here are his Pokémon cards, can you please make sure he gets these back when school is over, his mom doesn’t know he has these and making his parents get these from the office will cause him to get in trouble outside of the class. Well I don’t know what happened after that, except the next day I saw the kid, the kid saw me and he simply gave me a thumbs up, I don’t know what that means but that’s my story.
Whats the whole point in taking the kids cards its not a gun or phone. Your kind of an asshole reminds me of the others who did the same thing but never gave back what they took plus no one would fire u for not taking a kids paper cards liar
Parents was major hit for me, my mother would take them and she'd forget where she put them...lost so many good cards...
Not YuGiOh but I had a big binder of Pokemon cards and my mother is a recovering drug addict so at the time, she sold my binder witch had alot of rare cards that alone could go for 5-10 dollars. And the binder was 27 dollars. She sold it all for 15 dollars and that's what stopped me from collecting pokemon. Now I collect YuGiOh and don't tell my mom about it.
My friend had his whole deck stolen by the popular kids and the worst part was that all his cards were given to him by me and another friend and his parents wouldn't let him buy his own. Luckily he got most of them back.
