My favorite part of old school experts error opening is him saying "wow this card is worth like $40" really shows how things have changed over the last eight years.
@@UWMania He probably doesn’t have that one anymore. He had a lot and I think he sold all of his PSA cards and a lot of his records and I know he kept the complete sets. At least I believe that’s what he said in the video. It’s the zombie deck profile video and it’s only a couple months old
I've always been team DDS Blue Eyes solely because of the limited print. Even though it was guaranteed in the first print DDS boxes, we can probably all assume theres LESS printed than there were with the OG boxes.
Plus since it was the first one to be released, every other kid was using it in their decks. Not a whole lot in mint condition out there. Luckily mine is still very nice
Chaebean Bak If you’re talking about the North American version of the DDS Blue Eyes (I assume you are) then you’re incorrect...DDS promo cards became available about 10 days after LOB was released in North America.
The old school expert error pack is absolutely hilarious. His reaction and the prices seems so quaint lol. Imagine if someone opened a pack like this today, the reaction would be crazy
I just want to say, assuming it wasn't short printed, the odds of pulling a Blue Eyes is actually 19%. There's no guarantee you won't get two of the same ultra rare when you pull. So you do the odds of each ultra NOT being a Blue Eyes, and subtract from 100%. (0.9)*(0.9)=0.81, or 81% chance you will not pull a Blue Eyes. So the odds are 19% that you will. As you can guess, I'm very fun at parties
@@dustincampbell265 You're right, I over simplified it. To be more accurate, you actually need the odds of not pulling a Blue Eyes per pack, to the 24. In LOB, the odds of any pack being an ultra at all are 1/12. The odds of a given ultra being Blue Eyes is 1/10 (assuming no short prints.) So the odds of one pack having blue eyes is 1/120, or the odds of not are 119/120. (119/120)^24 is about 0.818, so 18.2% chance you'll pull Blue Eyes in a box.
@@wesleyevans2981 The Blue Eyes White Dragon has been pulled 2 times in 360 packs = 15 boxes which rather supports the hypothesis that it is no short print. As you already said the chance per pack is 1/120 of pulling Blue Eyes. So the most and equally likely scenarios are pulling him exactly 2 or exactly 3 times (both 22% chance). Any other amount has way worse odds (exactly 1 time has 14% and exactly 4 times has 16,8% - and it get's worse the further we distant from 2 or 3). We would need a way way way bigger sample size to tell for sure though. But with this data it at least doesn't look like the odds for Blue Eyes are very different from other ultra rares.
DO MORE OF THESE!! This is such good content. Very interesting and oddly super relaxing. Love the ambient music in the background. Ruxin is out here changing the game I swear.
Blue-Eyes 1st Edition has always been pretty tough to pull, even waaaay back when it first came out (in the UK at least). I remember having to fork out £50 for one to complete my LOB set, and that was when Metal Raiders had just been released!
I actually remember a friend of mine when we were younger absolutely ruining his Blue Eyes White Dragon card. It was bent up and in such horrible condition because he could NEVER stop holding it and I honestly don't know what he did to it for it to wind up in such bad shape
@@johngaumond6237 that’s not the reason. There weren’t a lot printed of that either. But we don’t know the number of first edition blue eyes from the legend of blue eyes or the starter deck so there’s no reason to think there was more first edition starter deck cards printed. But it’s not because just as many people had first edition booster pack blue eyes but they didn’t want to play with it. I can guarantee you that’s not the case LOL you probably didn’t know anybody that had the first edition one honestly. You probably remember knowing someone but you probably did not. They weren’t common
@@TommyKills if you were talking about PSA graded the DDS card, those video game promos, they are more durable and resistant to scratching. Obviously you can’t put it in a blender or anything but in general they are more durable. Another reason the starter that card may have not had as many tins is because the printing quality may not have been as good or quality control or packaging. Maybe the centering on legend and blue eyes was a lot better than starter dick. But it’s definitely not because people just wanted to play with the starter deck and they kept their legend and blue eyes and their binder safe as a kid LOL that’s stupid and I don’t know why so many people say that. But even if a lot of people had the starter deck because it was plentiful, yeah a lot of people played with their cards so it wouldn’t really matter if they were more
I can’t imagine that being a throw in for buying some packs. I remember watching that video several years ago and thinking that was crazy. Even more so now. That’s some insane luck!
STORY TIME: It’s been roughly a year since a homie of mine not only got me back into YGO but introduced me to Ruxin’s channel. At that current moment, the Pokémon craze was happening and just like today normally a lot of stores were dried up and had tumbleweeds rollin around in the TCG aisle. After stopping at about 10 diff stores I had kinda given up because it was getting late, however my sister wanted me to stop at “Party City” (a costume shop) to get her a wig, low and behold at the front desk tucked in a corner near greeting cards…. I had to rub my eyes twice and pinch myself… unlimited LOB, Metal Raiders, and IOC packs…. They looked abandoned as if they were about to get tossed in the trash. I obviously bought them all for 3$ a pop! I get home, I start with my first LOB pack (hadn’t open YGO for 10 years)…. I pulled a BEWD! 😎🔥 the rest is History.
Were the LOB and MRD the old square logo? If so that is an insane story. I always think about random stores having old school, possibly 1st Ed, packs tucked away in some unnoticed place
I cracked a wavy box during the first covid lockdowns in 2020. I'll upload that to my channel soon. I had no idea only two bewd have been pulled in youtube history. Such a rare and amazing card.
SDK and DDS is still superior to me. Broken neck blue eyes art is my least favorite out of the 3, however being the hardest one to pull out of the 3 adds to it's "grailness." Still I would prefer DDS or SDK over it.
I love all those versions of Blue-eyes. My favorite art is the LOB art, but of course the classic art is amazing too. A cool video going over all the on camera Blue-eyes pulls.
Man this was an awesome video! I recently fell in love with watching summoning salt (he goes over the history of video game speed runs for those that dont know) and this video gave me similar vibes; keep up the good work!
Hi ruxin you're a passionate and inspiring collector. Just wanna share that I do have an lob version but it is a traditional blue eyes facing the left with some white edges
I actually have the LOB-001 card didn't even realise it was this rare lmao I'm sat here like grading my Charizard then realise I have a Yu gi oh card worth even more
I remember I got a blue eyes white dragon in a school field trip to the movie theaters we watch whatever yogi oh movie was out at the time. They gave us all a free pack now looking back I wish I would have kept all my cards
The nostalgia this brings back man..... running round trading at school doing big duels.... crazy to think what my collection would be worth if I still had them today.... og kaiba deck og yugi deck and Joey...... and pulled the Celtic guardian out of some packs. Moral of this is imagine seeing an 8 year old walking out of his local game shop with three starter decks and easily half a box of packs now 😂😂😂 rich kid.....
When I was a kid back in 2003. Over the course of a summer. I pulled 4 LOB blue eyes white dragons from my local circle K. I thought I was somehow connected to them somehow after that 😂
The one guy pulls $100,000 and is just like "oh wow what is wrong with this box. No way. Wow" with the same enthusiasm as someone who found two M&Ms stuck together
Being from germany, I always shed some tears when I see these videos. Not only didn't I get any promos with my DDS back in the days but all my other "rare" cards have little value because they aren't in english T.T
I am not a youtuber but i have pulled the first edition blue eyes white dragon 2 years ago and i was new to YU-GI-OH so I did not tink it was that rare but now i think,WOW my most fav. card now.
Very nice video Ruxin. I’ve not seen anyone really pull the blue eyes from LOB packs so I think it’s scarcity makes it all the more rare. I used to own three starter deck kaiba blue eyes (preferred the original art) but I lost them along with the movie blue eyes shinning dragon.
In 2004 I bought a lob box that was not 1st edition, the funny thing is that the same ultra rare and super rare cards came out as in the video at the beginning exodia raigeki blue eyes course of dragon flame swordman and celta warrior and the 2 ultra rare were right in the middle of the box, greetings from Mexico

DO MORE OF THESE!! This is such good content. Very interesting and oddly super relaxing. Love the ambient music in the background. Ruxin is out here changing the game I swear.
Thank you!!
Loving the documentary-style approach, really cool to see you branch out into new video formats like this
These were all impressive, but that free pack pull was wild🤯
I just wanna see what the guy pulled from his 1st LOB case for 550k
I doubt he opened it
He aint cracking that bitch, rest assured. For what, to get some man eater thug? Or even better, a trap hole?
An entire case???
Loved the history on this video! Really cool to see the growing cache of old school Yugioh, in no small part thanks to you Ruxin!
Don’t worry everyone, I promise when I get rich I will buy as much 1st ed boxes as possible and open them up until I get that Blue-eyes!
I was recently going through my dads old yugioh cards and I found a perfect condition 1st edition blue eyes!
I loved this video! I'm all for you experimenting with different types of videos. Plus the history this showed was awesome
Blue-Eyes 1st Edition has always been pretty tough to pull, even waaaay back when it first came out (in the UK at least). I remember having to fork out £50 for one to complete my LOB set, and that was when Metal Raiders had just been released!
It’s fascinating how the Kaiba Starter Deck Blue-Eyes is still the rarest version in PSA 10 by a good margin.
Probably because this is the one we all loved and played with as kids XD. They got destroyed. Lob copies just sat in binders.
@@johngaumond6237 and if i remember as a kid they werent packaged safely as opposed to packs

-Some of these sell for 15 to 20$ on eBay... :P
Yes ive seen that original video and its so wild especially with the error pack haha i love hearing the excitement in everyones voices
Never recorded any of the pulls but glad I still have my 15 1st eds
I swear I had like 10 of these back as a kid and threw them around like it's nothing lmfao.
I own the DDS version, and it's my favorite simply because of how the holo is. It's absolutely gorgeous
Really fun video to watch and learn about youtubes LOB lore. Love all the variety content you've been making.

Keep up the great work , looking forward to the 100k special

I just found two of the “big 3” in my attic in a binder today. Sad to see they’re not as rare as I hoped based on the comments.
Yo who else remembers eaglefans classic unboxing with his dad from ebay... that was the most insane Yu-Gi-Oh unboxing to this date
Thank you Ruxin, this video is pure gold! 💯💯💯
15-20 bucks for a first edition LOB pack in 2013 😭😭😭
Definitely a crazy cool story and that error pack was insane!

Love these short videos about history of yu gi oh cards.
Looking forward for more epic content like this
Awesome video. Very cool information. If tht Blue eyes was pulled today in age they’re reactions would be a lot more hype.
It’s probably just small sample size, but wow, I didn’t realize so few had been opened on youtube

Thanks to this video, I realised my Tri-Horned Dragon LOB-E000 was also valuable in monetary terms 😂
Looking forward to the day you open one ! 😀
i actually have 4 1st edition blue eyes from when i used to buy packs when i was younger, one of my favorite cards
Bro they were both so chill 💀

love this twilight zone video about blue eyes
Yes, we like this format of video as well, man!
I pulled one during middle school....in that days no one think that some day the card could be expensive
This would make for a great Playlist
When I was a kid back in 2003. Over the course of a summer. I pulled 4 LOB blue eyes white dragons from my local circle K. I thought I was somehow connected to them somehow after that 😂
Liked the music in the background. Very interesting video!
Recently sold a damaged (crease in lower left corner) DDS-001 for ~$650, but no one seemed to want my (non-1st ed, not damaged) LOB-001.
I would take it for $650 ;)
Love the content bro keep it up
Cool little documentary piece
Kinda off topic but your new series with Cimo is awesome!! Can't wait for Thursdays now!
Thank you!! It is gonna be so fun!

Just getting back into yugioh and I have to start my collection over I’d be happy for any blue eyes😭
What an awesome video man
“Some of these sell for $15-$20 on eBay, I’ve seen them go for that much” crazy how times have changed
As a kid I use to have like 6-10 of those same blue eyes cards. Wish I still had my collection

OH MY GOD I HAD NO IDEA THAT WHEN U SAID SASSY THAT U WERE TALKING ABOUT EAGLEFAN!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You could make a documentary out of this. Nice vid!
Mind blown. Awesome video
I pulled a 1st edition Spanish blue eyes back in the day.
Awesome informative video!
I have A holo blue eyes first edition :D
Should grade it. Might get lucky and get at least a 8-9 if it’s already not so good condition at least you’ll get a protective case for it regardless.
Very nice video Ruxin. I’ve not seen anyone really pull the blue eyes from LOB packs so I think it’s scarcity makes it all the more rare. I used to own three starter deck kaiba blue eyes (preferred the original art) but I lost them along with the movie blue eyes shinning dragon.
Great video. What about DTP1 BEWD?
This video definitely makes me appreciate my 1st Edition BEWD even more. Plot twist, mine is also “faded”…. 😱
Really enjoyed this!
I like this it's like a summoning salt video
I heard that BEWD was usually paired with Exodia in terms of the two ultras of the box.
Awesome to go through the history of yugioh openings
Can someone explain to me the difference between LOB 001 and LOB E001? Is the later an earlier print?
If i ever got a hold of an LOB sealed box. I probably would never open it and keep it as a trophy.
Out of 15 lob boxes I have only ever pulled one blue eyes. Althought it is Spanish it's 1st edition
In 2004 I bought a lob box that was not 1st edition, the funny thing is that the same ultra rare and super rare cards came out as in the video at the beginning exodia raigeki blue eyes course of dragon flame swordman and celta warrior and the 2 ultra rare were right in the middle of the box, greetings from Mexico
Dude channel blew the fuck up 😂 I remember when you had like 2-3k subs
For me it is LOB Blue-eyes , all the way
I have a blue eyes white dragon lob, but is not 1st edition is that any value?
Where can I buy one box
I agree - Ive always been on the fence with the debate of the DDS/SDK Blue Eyes vs LOB purely because of the artwork (the DDS/SDK artwork is my childhood). However, pulling something from a pack is going to give you the potential for such a higher rate of return. Let's look at it 'glass half full' and say that we have two great versions of Blue Eyes for different reasons!
