Man this brings me back. In ‘05 when hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans my family was displaced. We moved to a small town in north Louisiana. There were so many people that tried to give relief to victims any way they could. When Christmas rolled around a couple reached out to my family wanting to buy us gifts. Me being a kid with good tastes asked for Yugioh cards. They gave me MC1 and MC2.
This comment took me back to waiting in the laundry room and eating military bag foods. But Getting that Joeys tin from Walmart put a smile on face. The Good Days
Ikr, if I'd known then what I know now I would have bought dozens of those and left them sealed. I got two secrets and an ultra out of MC1, but MC2 I only got trash pulls.
i feel like magics pricing is better, where unless its litterly alpha so Thiers 100k black lotus, any early edition bundles are generally fairly priced i.e you have a decent chance of getting your money back and then some. where the yugioh products seem high risk not even that amazing reward money wise. though i know that's not the point of this stuff.
Anything that gives me secret/prismatic rare I'm all for, what yugioh really needs is a good series that has real cultural impact and I think it'll have to have something to do with gambling within the series and hard struggles and emotional conflics for the protagonist
I remember getting my free Exclusive Packs at the cinema when I went to the movie in the cinema. The guy at the cinema gave me 8 packs because I was one of only 10 ppl who turned up to even see it. Getting all 3 Sphinx monsters but then finding out the pack does not contain Pyramid of Light or Blue Eyes Shining Dragon was a huge bummer. Luckily I did get 1 when the Movie Pack came out with the DVD release the following year.
packs back then were different. Look how he pulls card that are connected of some kind from the same pack. Insane. + now it is nothing special having ultra rare card, but back then it was hard pulling high rarity and this is what makes it special
I still use the folder to store my favorite cards in it. Plus I love shiny things. Absolutely and WoW Sams favorite two words. We all knew that anyways.
Thank you so much Sam for all the amazing content you bring to us YuGiOh fans. I absolutely love your vids and all the nostalgia it brings to me and I’m sure it brings to alot of other people too. Much love
dude this is insane I remember getting this for Christmas as a kid still have the breaker and the BLS envoy of beginning. just got back into the game recently
Many People don't know that the reprints from MC 1+2 and Forbidden-Legacy blister set are unique unlike the reprints from Legendary-Collection 1 Binder + Gameboard Edition. The difference is in the index number. MC1+2 and FL reprints have the modern EN- before the index number. The original 1st Edition and Unlimited and the recent Legendary Collection versions do not have the EN- before the index number. There is way to show the difference between the old school Original Unlimited Editions and the L.Collection. L.Collection reprints are thicker and lighter in color than the original old school versions.
Bro back in March of last year, it was only 200 bucks wow the price increase is crazy, good thing I still have the original gold master collection cards in my collection
Pyramid Of Light wasn't in the Exclusive Pack (oddly), it was one of the 4 promos that you received when you bought a ticket for the film in a cinema or with the home release, which was DVD and VHS at the time :)
Wait so you got a single Promo card at the cinema? I got the Exclusive Pack when I went to it here, got 8 in fact because almost nobody went to it and they wanted to get rid of the packs. Thats Ireland for you, back then we always got it different from everyone else lol.
It's not about making your money back on cards and packs.(real slim chance but u def could) It's a collector item anymore and rare when sealed. That what makes it worth a lot.
I remember when I was a kid I was at blockbuster I remember getting a yugioh pack opening it and it had exodia necross I was like I never seen this version of him on the show before. Two days later on Saturday they showed him on the show I was screaming I HAVE THAT CARD! Wish I knew better would've taken better care of my cards
Pyramid of Light was NOT in the Exclusive Pack set. However, it was one of four cards you could receive either when you saw the movie in theaters or bought the DVD, the other three being Watapon, Sorcerer of Dark Magic, and Blue Eyes Shining Dragon.
Nothing like those master collection binders. Seeing it in person is even better, all the hieroglyphs and details are raised and it feels so magical maybe that’s nostalgia talking but idk 🤷♀️
My kid's loved it when I judge the tourney's cause they gave us a choice of money or boxes and I would get 2 boxes per day depending on if I did both days or not then later on it went down to about a box but they weren't sealed. Kid's loved it when I got home and they with their friends be like can we open some of these and I'm like sure have at it but put aside those holo's lol. I miss a lot of those days honestly. Kid's grown up and 1 doesn't even have 1 care in the world for Yugioh and my younger son he still likes it but not in today's formats. You make me want to cry and excited about maybe picking up some packs again. I don't have the means to play again except for online but just having those cards I loved and my kids loved brings back so many fond memories you just can't even imagine how much a game can bond families and friends.
I had this box an traded it away for a deck that revolved around Orichalcos shunoros when I was a kid so smart I thought I was. I can still hear the evil laugh I did when he walked away thinking I had won
Exodia Necross was also easily the hardest monster to pull from a booster. Don't even want to think about how many I bought, before buying it mint, first edition from ebay for 20 bucks back then... What I gave it away for back in school, is something I want to think about even less.
i found one at the flea market for 8 dollars but it was empty :/ so i bought it and now im buying each product separately. i could actually do a video on how much everything is actually worth .. should i ?
Can’t believe I don’t remember this ever being a thing, yu gi oh cards got banned at our school around that time so perhaps I was buying football cards then lol
Got this when i was a kid. I was the happiest kid on earth that my mom buyed me this. I can remember it to this day and still have the binder. For me the prettiest yugioh product ever. We need things like this and not that new garbage. Btw i got like 2-3 holos back then. Absolutely worth it!
Bro the way you sniff everything is priceless I myself do things like that cause I’m weird but you make it look so funny my man! Been watching your videos for a while and your awesome, definitely subbed for a man like you!!!
Damn Sam take me back into my yugioh history. Smh I really wish I would have gotten 2 of sets I bought over time and not open one of em but hindsight is 20/20 I guess lol
Pyramid of light only came as one of the cards if you bought the movie ticket as well as yugis new sorcerer card and blue-eyes shining dragon. Other wise the exclusive pack was always the same.
Dunno why this say's $1000 when it's nothing close to that price right now. Still pretty expensive in 200 range but that's a massive difference to 1000 lol
Old school sealed product is never worth it In terms of the value of the cards you’ll probably get, a lot of the price comes from the nostalgic value of opening the product. Also I think you missed a zero on the value of the magicians force pack 5:00, lol, I wish they were only $10 each.
Oh, do old sets go for a lot or is this cuz this particular item is rare? I still have legends of blue eyes to like ancient sanctuary complete sets laying around in a binder somewhere. Lol
Hey Sam. I'm going to post my new speedroid synchro deck sometime in the next couple of days. Would really appreciate it if you watched the video when I post and maybe give me some advice
Back then when getting a holo card was special. Nowadays every card is holo and therefore worthless. (of course some are good and worth a lot, but overall is the feeling gone when all cards are the highest rarity.)

Man...you must had your best day in your life ever.
This comment took me back to waiting in the laundry room and eating military bag foods. But Getting that Joeys tin from Walmart put a smile on face. The Good Days
Yoooo eyyyy nice man !
I remember being at my cousins house in New Orleans pre Katrina playing yugioh and freaking out over his Toon summoned skull.
Can’t believe this “box” was worth 1k. I remember buying this for about 20-30 bucks and being mad for spending that much money just to get 2 rares
lol
Ikr, if I'd known then what I know now I would have bought dozens of those and left them sealed. I got two secrets and an ultra out of MC1, but MC2 I only got trash pulls.
i feel like magics pricing is better, where unless its litterly alpha so Thiers 100k black lotus, any early edition bundles are generally fairly priced i.e you have a decent chance of getting your money back and then some. where the yugioh products seem high risk not even that amazing reward money wise. though i know that's not the point of this stuff.
Such an insane yugioh product of all times. They should bring master collection back but with modern day packs and cool promos cards.
Except they aren't doing promos in the tcg anymore just like how they discontinued the special editions 2 years ago.
@@TobikunOuO They really need to bring pack promo cards especially with the mega tins. that's one of things that makes a tin a tin.
Anything that gives me secret/prismatic rare I'm all for, what yugioh really needs is a good series that has real cultural impact and I think it'll have to have something to do with gambling within the series and hard struggles and emotional conflics for the protagonist
agreed
Bareback, Order to Smash, and Lord of D are my absolute favorite cards
That moment when you’re living your sexual life vicariously through Yugioh cards.
Pyramid of light was 1 of the promos from the movie. It was blue eyes shining dragon, pyramid of light, sorcerer of dark magic, and Watapon
I remember getting my free Exclusive Packs at the cinema when I went to the movie in the cinema. The guy at the cinema gave me 8 packs because I was one of only 10 ppl who turned up to even see it. Getting all 3 Sphinx monsters but then finding out the pack does not contain Pyramid of Light or Blue Eyes Shining Dragon was a huge bummer.

Order to smash and Blowback dragon come in the same set😂. That seems completely appropriate
packs back then were different. Look how he pulls card that are connected of some kind from the same pack. Insane. + now it is nothing special having ultra rare card, but back then it was hard pulling high rarity and this is what makes it special
Exactly!
I still have both of these binders on my shelf. Such nostalgia and they look so good!
Same here. 🙂
I got it for $50 as a kid it was amazing blew my mind
Wish they had something like this for 5Ds
I still use the folder to store my favorite cards in it. Plus I love shiny things. Absolutely and WoW Sams favorite two words. We all knew that anyways.
Thank you so much Sam for all the amazing content you bring to us YuGiOh fans. I absolutely love your vids and all the nostalgia it brings to me and I’m sure it brings to alot of other people too. Much love
Pyramid of Light wasn't in the pack, it was in the Pack you got with your movie ticket :3
dude this is insane I remember getting this for Christmas as a kid still have the breaker and the BLS envoy of beginning. just got back into the game recently
Fun fact, I had like 2 of these binders. Man this takes me all the way back to my childhood. Thanks for the memories flooding back!
Half of my college yugioh group bought this on release, cannot believe how expensive it is these days
They aren't being produced anymore is why, what ever is out there is all there is.
I got two of these for Christmas the year it came out. Best gift ever at the time. 🙂

Konami probably tried to replicate the Original Unlimited version in the Legendary Collection-1 by not adding the EN- before the index number. 🤷🏻♀️
Good eye 👁 👌
Bro back in March of last year, it was only 200 bucks wow the price increase is crazy, good thing I still have the original gold master collection cards in my collection
That's is infact pretty wacky

I remember getting this at Walmart for like 30, those were the days!
I bought the first and second master’s collection when they first came years ago. Still have all the cards from both and still have both books.
hurts more knowing i had the chance to get like 10 of those back in the day.
Pyramid of Light was NOT in the Exclusive Pack set. However, it was one of four cards you could receive either when you saw the movie in theaters or bought the DVD, the other three being Watapon, Sorcerer of Dark Magic, and Blue Eyes Shining Dragon.
I still own 16 of these from back in the day
oh this brings me back, we used to buy a couple feel of those packs a month and structures for staples...good days, i don't miss them though.
I remember opening these packs in middle and high school. Thumbs up to the video. That was a great nostalgia trip. RiP your wallet though.
13:23 *When konami scams you for the billionth time*
I need that as a print out and display it every time a friend open a pack XD
Nothing like those master collection binders. Seeing it in person is even better, all the hieroglyphs and details are raised and it feels so magical maybe that’s nostalgia talking but idk 🤷♀️
Let’s all be real if they made something like this again scalpers would just buy it all up and sell it at 10x like they did the blue-eyes
My kid's loved it when I judge the tourney's cause they gave us a choice of money or boxes and I would get 2 boxes per day depending on if I did both days or not then later on it went down to about a box but they weren't sealed.

love the ridiculous foiling of the case
I remember getting one of these for Christmas. actually got a few dope pools.
I remember getting one when it came out. I’m so mad my 9 year old self didn’t keep it packaged lol
@ortomy that’s the goal at least
You still pulled some pretty fun cards regardless of how expensive they are.
Fun?
I love the pack sniff, absolutely essential. No greater scent…
Exodia Necross was also easily the hardest monster to pull from a booster. Don't even want to think about how many I bought, before buying it mint, first edition from ebay for 20 bucks back then... What I gave it away for back in school, is something I want to think about even less.
If you use Order to Smash on Blowback Dragon then it's definitely worth the $1,000
1:6 packs used to be a super card, 1:12 UR, 1:24 secret in the old packs
A lot of these cards I remember from when I was a little kid but had no money to buy them 😭
I'm so jealous I want to buy a sealed version of this product
i found one at the flea market for 8 dollars but it was empty :/ so i bought it and now im buying each product separately. i could actually do a video on how much everything is actually worth .. should i ?
Most of my cards are from the first 5 years. All 1st edition. Pokémon too... I’m so lucky I held on to them 😃
I used to go through these on the regular. Good ole days
I never thought I’d make it into a TeamSamuraiXI video…😍
Also me: IS THAT ME in TeamSamuraiXI’s video!!??😱
Thanks for the shout out dude! 🙌🏻
Crazy like buddy 🐺🤯🐺
Wow I still have the original binder I got one these for Christmas as a kid
You got pyramid of light at the box office at the theater as a single I believe
1000$ for something that costs 390$ (without opening the packs).
I opened my first Ultra in IOC, it was DMOC. I was super stoked and ran around the mall bragging my pull to passers by.
Later on it was stolen in my then LGS, and I had to buy another one from a dude at my LGS.
Imagine having a nightmare about Ash Blossom and waking up to that huge card staring at you.
I appreciate your taste in motion array templates
Remember getting this for christmas. Still have a lot of cards
Can’t believe I don’t remember this ever being a thing, yu gi oh cards got banned at our school around that time so perhaps I was buying football cards then lol
Got this when i was a kid. I was the happiest kid on earth that my mom buyed me this. I can remember it to this day and still have the binder. For me the prettiest yugioh product ever. We need things like this and not that new garbage.
Btw i got like 2-3 holos back then. Absolutely worth it!
Omg these cards are so nostalgic 😭😭 damn im so old its gross
Bro the way you sniff everything is priceless I myself do things like that cause I’m weird but you make it look so funny my man! Been watching your videos for a while and your awesome, definitely subbed for a man like you!!!
So happy I found your channel dude! Awesome content an you helped me big time with my dark magician deck thank you!!! Stay awesome!
I own master collection 2 as well as the binder lol, worth the money or not they are great collectors items to put on display.
My grandma sold my old Collection at her garage sale , had those cards since I was 8 or 9 , now I’m 22 ….. L
When he said "I love venus" I had to go back cuz I swear I heard something else
That's crazy I didn't know Gagagigo was from Dark Crisis!
This is why you should teach your kids to collect things. "If you gonna get this toy, we are gonna buy two. You play with one, never open the other."
My man took a bullet for the team in this one
Yes pyramid of light is in that exclusive pack also blue eyes shining dragon
Bro I say we create a format known as Pharaoh where only sets that had Yami Yugi on the front are legal. Just a thought.
Damn Sam take me back into my yugioh history. Smh I really wish I would have gotten 2 of sets I bought over time and not open one of em but hindsight is 20/20 I guess lol
Sam ty for inspiring me to build cydras and fluffals love you man ❤️
You deserve my likes mann. I came here for your master duel content but you growing on me as a content creator in general🖌 keep posting gango
Growing up we bought 4 of these my sophomore year, all because the card store near us was closing down. Lmao…imagine if i saved them
As a DIE-HARD Destiny Hero fan, that playmat is a MUST!!!!
The honesty in this video was hilarious.
Pyramid of light only came as one of the cards if you bought the movie ticket as well as yugis new sorcerer card and blue-eyes shining dragon. Other wise the exclusive pack was always the same.
I really must get my cards valued at some point. May even be able to afford a competitive deck AND lessons on how to play it! Haha
Dunno why this say's $1000 when it's nothing close to that price right now. Still pretty expensive in 200 range but that's a massive difference to 1000 lol
I might be wrong but I think videos like these knocked the price down greatly
My problem is the cam ratio... Taking up 1/3 of the screen during the unboxing
I cried when Sam realized he wasted big money
ikr this was sad
A walk through the past, legit. Thanks for saving me money! ;p
the new yugioh card smell in itself is the best feeling
Old school sealed product is never worth it In terms of the value of the cards you’ll probably get, a lot of the price comes from the nostalgic value of opening the product. Also I think you missed a zero on the value of the magicians force pack 5:00, lol, I wish they were only $10 each.
Now I wish I didn't open my master collections when I was a kid
Props for taking one for the team
He got a holo at the cost of the price, that's Yugioh description on the fine print but in real life.
you know what would be a cool video or short would be opening your own mystery box
Oh, do old sets go for a lot or is this cuz this particular item is rare? I still have legends of blue eyes to like ancient sanctuary complete sets laying around in a binder somewhere. Lol
Hey Sam. I'm going to post my new speedroid synchro deck sometime in the next couple of days. Would really appreciate it if you watched the video when I post and maybe give me some advice
I remember buying like 10 of these at 20$ ea. Now theyre 1000 ea. Lmfao
Order to smash reaction tho. Lmao. You never failed to give hype and laughter on my face. Keep it up bro.
at my place, someone selling All Volume 1 - 3 factory sealed for 1.5k usd. But i still cant buy it lol
i remember my brother giving me the first edition one i still have it somewhere
its really sad how many times they have reprinted the orginal sets... but hey at least they're affordable for casual collectors who want to buy them
Sam: Ik how much this pack is, its like $75
Real price: $10
The sniffing part is always the best
Lp BLS is around 30 bucks right now.
Back then when getting a holo card was special. Nowadays every card is holo and therefore worthless. (of course some are good and worth a lot, but overall is the feeling gone when all cards are the highest rarity.)
"I never have opened this pack ever in my life." Thats cap you opened some in Old Man Milans shop awhile back.
The cover alone, make me go hype🔥
It’s not worth it, but nostalgia still hits hard ngl
I never sniffed new cards before. After watching your videos I cant stop 🤣
