The cards were supposed to be worthless in the show too. In the original manga, Kaiba's inner monologue implies he was trying to scam grandpa.
*Patrick voice* : I knew it!
You do know the Kaiba from the manga, and the one from the anime are different characters, right?
@zimonzieclown1633 🤡
@@zimonzieclown1633yes but actually no
In the show he tries to buy it but the 4kids version changed the money for cards
I think most people have forgotten something. These are Yugioh Trading Cards. These are DUEL MONSTER cards. You can't just get a Blue Eyes White Dragon in this world just buy going to to the store and buying the starter deck that has a Blue Eyes White Dragon, any more than any trainer in the Pokemon Anime has a box legendary. There are FOUR, count that... only FOUR of these cards in the world. And Kaiba's got three of them. The other thing is that if it's a briefcase there is more than one layer of cards in there; there are probably a *LOT* more than initally displayed. Also the card game had not come out yet when the first season of the show came out, so the sacrifice rule, etc. was not a a thing.
Players started with 2000 life points in the first season, Red Medicine and other LP cards would be worth a lot more.
The sacrifice rule didn't exist in Duelist Kingdom, so the 5-6 star monsters didn't suck. (A lot of those would suck today).
Polymerization is garbage because it requires you to draw it AND have two other monsters before you can summon a generic monster with slightly better stats (there are some Fusion monsters that were objectively good). The only good thing about Fusion was you could have as many Fusion monsters you wanted and it didn't count against the limit of your deck or anything like that, but again, you have to actually draw the card AND the requisite monsters in the first place. There IS an effect monster that allows you to summon a Fusion mob of your choosing for 1 turn though...
While a lot of the cards in this deck aren't too special in the real world, they may have been Rare/Powerful, etc. in the anime. In the anime Stop Defense (the counterpart to Block Attack) was a permanent card. Block Attack in the anime would have made a player invincible. Also in Duelest Kingdom cards have powers/abilities the TCG doesn't have so we don't know what the anime versions of these are capable of.
Kaiba is the Lex Luthor of the Duel Monsters universe, so it's safe to assume those cards are worth a lot more than the RL versions we have in our world.
Polymerization isn't so garbage cause tecnically they could fusion any monsters in the classic era, they didn't exactly need to have the right pieces (like it was in Forbidden Memories). Same with Ritual Monsters, IIRC Yugi ritual summoned Dark Magician Chaos against Pegasus from nowhere.
I was going to say, there are confirmed in the show, only four blue eyes in all of existence in this universe (and he rips the fourth one up)
@@SonicLion2 That's a good point. But I don't like relying on a single draw out of a 40+ card deck to summon a monster.
Always appreciate a well thought out response. There are certainly more variables if we consider the impact that these cards had in the show versus the real world, as well as what these cards were valued at in the show. We know, at the very least, they were as good as cash, but we do NOT know what those prices looked like. I can't recall ever seeing cards actually purchased in the show, at least as far as DM and GX (haven't watched 5Ds and onward enough to be certain if it came up later). Someone pointed out in another comment that Grandpa did express that Kaiba's offer was a lucrative deal, so we can assume that dollar for dollar, Kaiba's briefcase was at least comparable with Blue-Eyes, if not exceeding by sheer quantity (even if those cards would've been a couple bucks each in the show), but Grandpa valued the meaning and sentiment behind the card more than the dollar, which muddies the argument a bit more because that becomes a reoccurring theme throughout the series; cards being worth more in meaning than value. A lot of people have pointed out that the Manga and original show in Japan may have had more means of valuing the cards as they would've been in their world, so I might have to get in some deep research and see if I can devise a way to value the cards based on how the show deems them.
@@burblebineabbletv Also want to point out the Curry card says you can choose which player to restore the 200 LP to. So if you are in a partner battle you can heal them.
Assuming they’re mint condition ocg series 1 cards, they might be worth a lot, but then again, maybe not because they’re all commons.
Bro doesn't even have ghost rares
@@jacobcoates7987 I don’t think ghost rares existed between 1996-7
@@MiguelMartinonhence why he doesn’t have any.
I think it's hilarious that the Mooyan Curry is the most valuable card in there considering it has a strictly worse effect than the Red Medicine sitting right next to it.
I choked on my water when I saw that price. And who says Life Points don't matter? 😒
Likely due to print runs/availability. Also, Mooyan Curry can target your opponent to set off combos like Bad Reaction to Simochi, while Red Medicine cannot. Distinctions n functions like that can also matter for competitive play implications.
Kaiba being a con artist is hardly a novelty. It's what made him rich in the first place afterall
Great vid tho

Like others have said, it could have been there were multiple copies. And I was always under the assumption that there was over dozen stacks of cards in each spot... Because who's gonna have a briefcase of cards single filed like that and just 1-3 cards in each row? It'd have been more effective to stack them into one deck at that point. So around a deck worth of cards in each card spot would have made the briefcase an exorbitant amount of money.
There more than likely was, unless Kaiba was the OG 'Rug Pull' 🤷♂️ I may just have to do a Redux of this video with some more in-depth analysis
@@burblebineabbletv It's still very informative of the face value of the cards shown, but if you do redo the video and still get a low total add a "How many copies would be required to make this an enticing offer? (Either worth up to if not more than Blue-Eyes at Max value)" Because Gramps's reaction seems to say this was a lucrative offer and it would be in character for Kaiba to overbid for something he desires to acquire.
@@williamfalls The Blue-Eyes White Dragon was practically PRICELESS at this point. Kaiba literally KILLED people to get the other three (at least in the manga, maybe they just got sent to the Shadow Realm or something)

These cards were all made with OCG in mind, though. Using OCG cards and prizes would have been better. Should have assumed he had multiple copies of them, too.
Yeah, in retrospect, doing 100% OCG prices probably would've made more sense and gave us more consistent values across the board. And I'd originally wanted to do something to determine what cards may have been under that first layer that we see, but it became that I could basically value the briefcase at literally anything. No worries, though, Kaiba has plenty more briefcases that I can haphazardly evaluate 😂
I remember a lot of these cards from Duelist of the Roses so maybe thats where your Mandela effect comes from
That's probably what it was. I forget that a lot of the old video games still had the OCG card pools in NA releases. 🤡
A lot of these cards were in the GBA game The Forbidden Cards, so I was hella confused seeing some of these being OCG exclusive. And in all fairness to kaiba, in an era where the stars meant nothing and you could just play a card, big beaters were probably really valuable
Yeahhh, I completely forgot the card pool from the NA video games having OCG cards 🤦♂️
I always assumed he had either 1 copy of every card available to the public at the time, or perhaps 3 of each card depending on how big the briefcase was.
He more than likely did 🤷♂️ You think he had Exodia in that bad boy? 🤔
@@burblebineabbletv probably he clearly didn't think exodia was a big deal, certainly not strong enough to keep it in his deck.
Kiaba philosophy was about pwr I believe he probably had a set and never played it because he uses more of a beatdown strategy.
I mean could be this video goes off the assumption that the brief case is 1 card deep
@@streetguru9350 that checks out, considering the "nobody has ever been able to summon him!" line.
For those who know Kaiba pretty well to know how he got his other Blue-Eyes White Dragons and let's just say Yugi grandpa had much easier compared to the other.
Kaiba really had zero chill 🤐
I would imagine that the briefcase had differed layers of cards and maybe one way to speculate its value would be to figure out how many layers of cards could stack up on that briefcase and multiply the amount you got per layer (this would assumed that each layer would turn out rough the same).
I'll have to do a deeper dive and determine the specs of the briefcase and see what we can do from there! 🤑

@@burblebineabbletv you're a real funny fucker, keep at it, this is great content
So... if we're talking about the Literal Briefcase... it'd probably cost 40-50 at the low end to at most 100-200... Maybe more considering the exact dimensions it has for housing a 4x7 grid of yugioh cards... or less if we're assuming it's thin enough that it can only house 1 card on each vertical dimension.
If we're wondering talking about in universe the cards combined were possibly worth thousands to millions considering he had to bankrupt entire companies and make deals with yakuza/mafia types just to buy his original 3, and as an initial offer 1k-1000k sounds semi-reasonable.
If we're wondering how much the blue eyes is worth in the anime at this point... I mean that's more a question of how able you are to pry them out of Kaiba's cold dead hands since any number is too low.
I'd personally be willing to hold Mokuba hostage until he forked them over, 🤷♂️ as a joke in Minecraft.
@burblebineabbletv ah yes the old kidnapping Mokuba strategy. It will work this time I'm sure...Definitely
I actually wanted to make this exact video, so congrats on beating me to it, but the thing I was going to do was consider the time period, as you are taking the TCG into account and the current year (2024), where you have mega game busters to contend with, which is why many of these cards have dropped in price. Maybe these cards would have been worth more back when the game began, so I would have worked out the prices back between 1999-2003 and probably used the OCG as a basis.
You also missed Empress Judge. Other than that, you did a great job, nice to see someone else besides me had this thought, that moment with Kaiba's briefcase will always stand out to me =P
3:11 👀 Empress Judge was part of the speed run of a few cards 😅
It's definitely an interesting topic where we value cards VERY differently from how they did in the show.
@@burblebineabbletv Woops, sorry, didnt notice ^^;
I always assumed there were more cards underneath those ones. Would be kinda weird to have an entire briefcase with only one layer of cards
Kaiba is kinda weird 🤨
This is one of those videos you find and watch at 3am.
Hopefully I didn't keep you up 😴
That's a good estimation on how much his briefcase would have cost but as some pointed out, putting up ocg prices would have been better.
Regardless, it's a very interesting topic to talk about. Never crossed my mind to value his briefcase.
I might have to check out another one of Kaiba's briefcase and redeem myself 😅
Isn't the starter deck kaiba the cheap one? I've got like 4 of those not even sleeved from when I was 8 on the playground. It was a precon after all.
It is cheaper than say a 1st Ed LOB, I was just going on matching card art 🤷♂️
isn't this just the first row of the briefcase? I always thought there were a lot more cards underneath, boosting the value of the briefcase by a factor of 50 or so.
The rest of the briefcase was filled with Block Attacks...
I’ve been waiting for a video like this 🔥🔥
Hope that it met your expectations! 🤑
When you take into consideration that there were only 4 Blue-eyes in the world and what that would do to the price, we're talking jail time for this mf.
Straight up robbing the old man
But Kaiba doesn't play by the rules... After all, he has money 🤑
People forgetting that most of the best cards from the blue eyes white dragon set had been erated so the original text cards are worthless except for collector value.
THANKS KONAMI!
😑😔🤷♂️
Konami been trollin us from day one 🤦♂️
@@burblebineabbletv Man didn't have to go that hard speaking facts...
But he did!
👍😎
Aside from Kaiba being Kaiba here. Anyone else get reminded of the good old days when you pulled a super rare card and people would slam their binders on the desk in front of you like Kaiba did his briefcase?
Happened to me when i pulled a Jinzo lol
If I miss the desk and hit you, that Jinzo is mine... 😵
He didn't got rich offering fair deals
Understandable
The Blue eyes on the show probably was worth a ton of money. Just think about what happened on the La Jinn era, at that time a 1800 normal summon was the best of the best an then they released the Mechanicalchaser as a price card which is a 1850 monster that was really rare to obtain so the people got crazy to get even one, now think about what would happen if there only existed 4 copies of that card and that it had 3000 attack ☠️. On the early seasons the high level monsters didn't need tributes so the Blue eyes was the best normal summon on the entire game and it is one of the rarest cards on the world so even if Kaiba's briefcase was full of cards it probably was worth less than that single Blue Eyes Withe Dragon
I'd imagine so. Good thing the power of friendship saved Grandpa for like 15 minutes or so 😅
Kaiba was a con artist 100%. If you follow season zero, after his shitty deal backfires he proceeds to con Yugi into bringing the card to school and switching it with a counterfit.
Damn! I'll have to check that out. I haven't seen much of Season 0, but that actually sounds pretty devious. 😈
Oh He is in all his green haired glory. The show is definitly worth the watch if you want to get to know the characters a little better. If you want skip to the specific episode then look for episode 3.
I remember when i was a kid there was a school bully that bragged about his FAKE exodia (infinite ATK) and said that hed trade it for all the cards i own. The dude was a jerk and was only a jerk to me because i had the same first name lol
The origin story of There Can Only Be One!!
@burblebineabbletv lol yeah 😆
So I looked for 2 prices nowadays, using the amounts from the video for the OCG exclusive cards.
Skelgon: $0.01/$7.06
Giltia the D. Knight: $0.13/$0.72
Punished Eagle: $0.11/$0.28
Roaring Ocean Snake: $0.15/$1.00
labyrinth tank: $0.16/$0.99
Empress Judge: 0.19/1.99
Block attack: 0.03/0.34
Mooyan Curry: 22.49/324.95
Red Medicine: 0.05/0.45
Polymerization: 0.75/19.53
Remove Trap: $0.02/1.18
Launcher Spider: 0.06/0.25
Flame Cereberus: $0.08/0.75
Millennium Golem: $2.22/2.22
Battle Steer: 0.10/0.24
Anthrosaurus: 0.14/1.05
OCG Exclusive Cards:
Bolt Escargo: 7.32
Cyber Soldier: 7.89
Monstrous Bird: $13.96
Boulder Tortoise: $14.64
Sea King Dragon: $12.00
Togeks: 10.33
Bee Dragon Jungle King: $7.95
Air Eater: $11.62
I also then looked at the price of a LOB 1st edition Blue-eyes, and the most expensive CARD (not the platinum "Card") with the same art to compare.
LOB BEWD: $85
Most Expensive With same Art: $267.46
Lowball Total: $112.40
Highball Total: $448.71
If Kaiba had the highball amount, Solomon would've been making out with $181.25 - $363.71 profit.
If Kaiba had the lowball amount, Solomon would have the trade as either a $155.06 loss or a profit of $27.40.
These are using TCGplayer as of late 2024.
So dont forget go for the 4kids edition and get the suitcase of money xd the cards are less value
Listen to me, old man 😒
@@burblebineabbletv ok im listening
amazing video, very accurate and comedy gold

Thank you! 🙏 More to come soon 🤙
Pretty sure Kaiba had cards stacked up as well, meaning there were more cards...
More than likely, but I didn't want to give an evaluation of the briefcase based on what *might* have been under the first layer. I'm sure there were probably some bangers, like Petit Moth
I just found out, Kaiba's briefcase is an actual product you can purchase and you get all ULTRA RARE cards... 61 exactly amongst them all Blue-Eyes White Dragons Kaiba owns. Which are... 5? Ok...
If you ever wanted to own Dark Energy in Ultra Rare to flex on your opponent, this is your chance apparently. Jokes aside, there are some good cards... but also stuff like Dark Energy... Sry, I just can't wrap my head around that freaking Dark Energy got an Ultra Rare reprint. 300 atk boost to my Summon Skull never felt this powerful. And Ultra Rare Rude Kaiser... This makes me really wish the actual cards in his briefcase were printed in Ultra Rare so we could brag about it. I will want my Thunder level 5 Escargot Normal Monster monster and, hey, some of these cards are OGC exclusive. But I guess it's ok because we got new Anime Cards... and Dark Energy. Sry, I just can't get over this.
48k views and still only 540 subscribers after I clicked it, damn underrated nut jokes in the middle of that video in sequence 6:42
Honestly, didn't expect this video to pop off as it has 😅 I'm appreciative nonetheless! And I'm glad you appreciated the goofs, at the expense of my nuts 🥜
It's ironic how kaiba pretty much knew the value of that card, before you had to sell your left leg to get one. Skelgon was in the games before it was released in the TCG, this used to happen quite a lot, but it seems like a lot more cards are reprinted nowadays.
I think that's why I thought Skelgon was a super old card and was confused to see it was only printed in AP5
I always assymed there was a complete playset of each under there, if not even more cards because the case itself looks decently thick but the cards sit at the edge of the case. So multiple this case by 3 and its worth $1,398.09
Nice video concept. But the value of Grandpa's Blue-Eyes White Dragon is priceless because it is the only one that wasn't owned by the eccentric Seto Kaiba. Also like I've seen in other comments; this is just the modern day TCG/OCG card values of the top layer with no idea what's underneath. I'd take a guess that there are at least 8 layers to that case based on card thickness (not taking into account that foam padding could have been used).
As a kid, I'm yelling at gramps to accept the trade, thinking he could just go to Walgreens and get another $10 SDK, but keep in mind, this Blue Eyes gramps had was 1 of the 4 in existence, so if those quantities applied in real life, this Blue Eyes would be as valuable as a Pikachu Illustrator.
So I get the point but the big flaw to Kaiba being cheap is in the original cards like those weren't cheap most cards above 2000 were hard to come by and cost money that's why someone like Joey who didn't have money had a deck of generic monsters on average of less that 1800 points versus Kaiba's briefcase had an average of 2000. But is he still an ass yes, yes he is.
Wait did you count the cards under each stack? Those are 60 card stacks lol
There’s an episode at battle city where Kaiba tries his obelisk out on a random guy and he got to use cards from his briefcase and there were allot of cards in there and from super rares to secret rares
Definitely gonna check that one out for a Part 2!
Obviously this video is about trading the blue eyes for this briefcase of cards, but Kaiba did the same thing in Battle city to test out obelisk on a duelist and it had much more rare cards (graceful charity for example). That could be a cool video idea too, love the video man and you made a good point about the 25th anniversary of metal raiders getting released and I realized that when I found a sangan in my binder of old cards and I looked up how much it was thinking I found something good and it was like .50 cents lol
I can appreciate the 25th anniversary reprints for the nostalgia of packs I opened as a wee tot, but yeah, it ruined some values.
Loved this vid, I’m interested in later on when you see his briefcase (as he arrived at Duelist Kingdom with the proto-duel disk) cause I’m pretty sure the cards have changed at that point and there’s stuff like Crush Card Virus in there
Much appreciated! 😊 I'll definitely be checking out his other briefcases in future videos!
Random thing I just noticed, in the sub the artwork for Polymerization is the same as the first design the TCG got, they changed the artwork in the dub to the design in this scene and this artwork wasn’t released for quite some time in the TCG. Just seems odd as usually this happens the other way around aha.
I actually dont know which direction this should go. Im imagining down, because i remember seeing a lot of normal monsters. A lot of the old "beatsticks" that are worse than useless now
But age and rarity are more than small factors, in most collections theyre all that matters
And yeah, a lot of these ancient vanillas were likely in videogames, thus causing that confusion in your mind. I know almost all, if not all of these are available in Master Duel.
I always assumed each card we saw in the briefcase was just the top cards of entire decks, not just what we see.
Air eater is in duelist of the roses ps2 game
Air Eater has become the bane of my existence
Before watching I'm going to guess around 20 to 30 dollars on the secondary market.
Now, is that a fair trade for a Blue-Eyes? Considering I've seen LOB listings for as cheap as 13 dollars, I'd say yes, it was a fair offer.
Edit: oh crap, I forgot the stupid curry was a price card. RIP my guess.
😂😂😂 He wasn't ready! Yeah, even as a prize card, that Mooyan Curry price is wild
Besides the fact that, as someone brought up, its a different universe, I would at least think that Kaibas collection is the most pristine collection possible. Sure, in the manga, he was scamming people, but my idea of Kaiba is that he highly values collecting the original run of the game. The way he judges value is based on the game from that time period.
So I would say either use the OCG value or PSA grafe value of all his cards, at the very least. Sure, they dont show it as such, but thats because that would probably make everything look really weird. Becket was highly interested in games like Yugioh at the time though and I even remember as a kid in the 90s seeing graded Pokemon cards, especially Charizard, take on the same level of prestige, likely inspiring the hype around BEWD for the manga.
I agree! For the next one, I'm definitely gonna keep the pricing consistent (try to use a single site for pricing and such where possible) and perhaps take into account the time period of those cards and gage their historic value.
Well, we don't know what's under those cards. Maybe there are several decks of cards there including some high value ones.
incredible vid, laughed all the way until the end!
Thank you!
I mean its a case full of cards and one would assume that theres more than one layer of cards in said case so the top layer being worth roughly 400+ dollers works for me
Im curious about the Japanese prices. As cards like Skeleton came out WAY before Astral pack in japan
Considering these are just the top cards we don't know what's on the bottom grandpa will easily get his money back no doubt
Sometimes I will put my money cards next to the bulk rares to make my folder look better
I guess Kaiba also pulls that shit too
PS Great vids will sub!
Appreciate the sub, man! Won't deny for a second that I do the same thing 😂 If I find a diamond in shit, I'm still gonna take the diamond 💩
I think the premise of this video is cool. However, a crucial detail that wasn’t taken into account is that there were only 4 copies of Blue-Eyes in the world, and as such, there is likely no way that briefcase could compare to its value
Kaiba shot his shot. I wouldn't say I respect him for it, though 🤣
The uhh...my dude
It heavily implies that there are whole decks underneath those cards imo. Just the face cards are worth nearly $500? 500 x 40~60 cards? Not too bad. I dont think he would have presented it like that if it was just the...24 cards? Or so?
You're right. When I'd originally thought of the idea for the video, I wanted to go full big brain mode and determine the size of the briefcase and relate that to (potentially) how many cards were in each stack and try to price it out that way, but I ran into the issue of ultimately just guessing what else was in the briefcase so I could've given the briefcase a final evaluation of pretty much anything and it was less coherent. So, I settled on this, and while it's the most concise evaluation, I feel better giving it a value based on the cards that we can see and definitively say "*these* are worth *this* much" Thanks for the comment! 🤙
to be fair, those are the only top cards. There are probably stacks of cards. I cannot imagine just 1 card on every spot.
More than likely 🤷♂️
You forgot to mention two things:
1. Do you really think that Seto only has one layer of cards in that briefcase?
2. Of course, cards like Block Attack are worthless nowadays. Hell, Mooyan Curry would be just as worthless if it wasn’t a prize-card! Those cards might’ve actually had a little bit of value back in the day, at least 5 dollars each.
I think Seto Kaiba was on that nut shit 🥜
In anime, there were only 4 BEWD in the world, making it definitely a scam, if that were the case, the 4th BEWD would be priceless. But he had to have it because...
SPOILERS if you haven’t watched the entire DM anime, BEWD is the soul of his past life’s love interest.
SPOILER ALERT ⚠️
This video was very well made and obviously took a lot of time and effort. Also a very interesting topic. I hope you find success on RUclips and start gaining a ton of subs!
Thank you for your kind words! If there's one thing I take pride in, it's the final product. I'm just getting started 💪
Even if we're presuming value, its worth remembering that for context there were only 4 printed Blue Eyes White Dragon cards in the Yugioh universe. Which means the singular copy not owned by Kaiba was effectively priceless. On par with the one off cards printed for the Make-a-Wish foundation or similar.
So, it's still somewhat comparable as far as the value I determined versus what we were aiming for as the 'example' of the BEWD from the scene
Now can you make a video about what deck would you use if you would be sent to yugioh anime
Rules are cards have anime effects
You cant use ra (since you dont have millennium iteam)
Characters have ability to draw any card they want out of their deck and anime "generic" cards (look at kaiba briefcase etc)
Some will do bullshit shenanigans like pegasus, marik, satorus, ishizu, whatever yuya did with action duels
And others rules that I forgot but you know happend in anime
Hmmmm, interesting discussion topic. Time to get to work! 👨💻
Wait wtf?? The 1st edition blue eyes from kaiba deck are worth that freaking much??? Man..I had 4 of em and the 1st edition blue eyes ultimate dragon..before I lost them all when we moved as a kid..
I always said "well I still got my pokemon cards, thoes will prob be worth more over time"
But shit man..guess I fumbled the bag hard.
I'm just glad Blue-Eyes cards never caught the Hype Disease like Charizard cards did 🤣
Damn bro, what a high quality material! You deserve more subs!
Thank you so much!
I haven't watched this yet but I'm going to take a wild guess and say not much for the amount of cards that he has.
Homie saw the future 👀
I'd actually presume based on the depth of the briefcase there were more cards stacked underneath. Even if its just 3 of each for a playset that still triples the value.
Also I remember most of those ocg only cards from my time with forbidden memories and falsebound kingdom. I could swear B.Dragon Jungle King was a regular tcg card.
Still not sure why some of those OCG exclusives didn't get dropped into some random Speed Duel box or something 🤷♂️
What the heck xD I did the same video too like 7 months ago xD Of course in my language.
Great minds think alike, brother! I went and checked your video out. Of course, the language barrier had me lost in the sauce 😂 but the editing is on point. All good stuff on there 🤙I subbed
To be fair, the series implies that some cards are super hard to come by. We only know of three existing Dark Magicians and four Blue Eyes White Dragons in the entire world. And we very rarely see more than one person use a card other than Pot of Greed or the like. That Blue Eyes would probably be worth millions. Though many of the cards in that briefcase are probably worth several thousand dollars. And I have to assume there are hundreds of cards we can’t see in the briefcase. Though probably still not a fair trade.
Kaiba was tryna hit a lick 👅
Kaiba owns the company that prints the cards. So why doesn't he just print his own?
That's far too High IQ for him, I guess 🤷♂️
I mean, the briefcase is a physical product now. It has depth to it. There is more than *just* the top layer of cards.
True, true 💼
I remember the one episode where Kaiba was gonna duel that guy and he's all
"Use these rare cards to improve your deck"
I just remember thinking you made his deck worse because those cards all sucked. If they're so great why don't you use them Kaiba.
Yeah I didn't have any friends
Honestly, same. I'll be doing a video on that briefcase too! 😁
But these be stacks so if the cards in each stack have the same value as the top card and lets say each stack is 100 cards (it’d probably be more with thickness of suitcase) that’d make the total $100,000+
Not bad.
(I was using a calculator when I realized it was a waste if time and instead guesstimated lol)
Yeah, this quite literally the 'face value' of the briefcase. I'm sure there were more cards in there, but I ran into the issue of guessing and could've valued it at anything in favor of Kaiba's end of the offer. I might try to look back at the original Mangas and Japanese Anime/Season 0 to see if there's any better indication of what Kaiba might have had in the briefcase.
Dude, that briefcase obviously has more than 1 copy of the cards, more like the price x3
Damn, Kaiba lied to me 😭
Kaiba would prob have full play sets of each card. so you could safely just tripple the final price, but that would just be by real world prices. In the anime all of his cards were pretty unique, in that he was the only one who used them. So in the anime the cards may have been alot more valuable than their real world counter parts when you consider pegasus did really over produce cards. Proof was that only 4 blue eyes were ever printed, and for the ENTIRETY of the series Kaiba was the only person to have the final 3 blue eyes after the 4th was ripped. So i would assume the cards in his brief case were also of similar rarity, but of course not as powerful as the blue eyes which was indeed the most powerful monster in the anime at that time aside from exodia.
Buddy had Block Attack and Remove Trap in that briefcase. Grandpa should've been paid to have to look at it 🤑
I'm not even upset that the cards don't have a lot of monetary value, but the fact that they're all awful is hilarious
"One man's trash is another man's treasure" is precisely what Kaiba was banking on when we walked into that Game Shop.
I don't think saying the Blue Eyes is near-mint and first-edition does it justice to how rare that card is, because there's supposed to be only 4 of them. So the condition honestly does not matter as much. I'm sure that one card is worth more than any Blue Eyes in our world, and it's not even close. Probably hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not a couple million.
Kaiba would've put his brother's life on the line for a Moderately Played copy. 🤷♂️
Those were only the top layer. that briefcase is THICK. i'd imagine thats roughly 1/20th of the cards in there at most is it still just a bunch of random fodder cards? Yes. would these cards sell at a game store? Yes.
Briefcase was *T H I C C*
No, not even close, Kaiba trying to ripe this old man off. That's just not any Blue Eyes, it's worth even more than a 1st edition LoB Blue Eyes, why would any sane person trade it for a bunch of useless trash?
Kaiba was betting on the dementia setting in 👀
I wanna say right now.
The emoji in the title almost caused me to not click.
Might not be the case for everyone. I'm just trying to give creator feedback here for me and the demographic i come from (the "go to sleep to youtube video essay" audience)
Always appreciate feedback! Can I ask why? Did it give a preconceived notion of what the tone of the video would be?
For all we know, there couldve been cards underneath the shown cards. We'll never know
Something that always annoyed the hell out of me that was never mentioned is that Kaiba himself had a Red Eyes Black Dragon
And it was shown in his BC briefcase but he never mentions or used it for anything espically against Joey
Kaiba was a third rate duelist with a fourth rate briefcase
How is mooyan curry so fucking expensive? It hardly does anything & can be easily power crept by just about ANY other life point increase card.
Mooyan Curry is the iPhone of Yu-Gi-Oh cards... It's a status symbol 🤷♂️
I have a spare Red Medicine lying around. Next time I go out to eat I'm going to pay for my food with it. Don't worry, don't worry. I'll leave them a Sparks as a tip.
Seems fair to me 🤷♂️
We need to find card values for the time the show came out. I feel like some of these would be worth more back then, after inflation adjustment of course, because they were the new cards. Also I think there's only like.... 4 or 3 blue eyes white dragon cards in the lore
Right, I do think the briefcase would've been a better match if we looked at historic values.
You are pricing this with our world's value of the cards
In that scene the sacrifice rule hasnt been set yet and they started with 2k hp
Basically they were able to summon a 2k beatstick with no costs what so ever
So the value of these cards may suck irl but in the first season of yugioh it is pretty expensive
I don't live in the DM world, though...
No I think kaiba had every card in the game to that point with the exception of perhaps that final blue-eyes (and maybe exodia)...I think this moreso illistrates how rare the blue-eyes is in the shows portrayal
Yet he still refused to change his Deck when he was getting clapped 🤦♂️
LMAO, Kaiba was like that one kid in the playground that was trying to get a shiny from a kid in exchange for all his bulk. Quantity over quality.
Look, I'm not gonna say that I wasn't that kid at one point in time... But I'm not gonna NOT say it either...
You have a really nice voice, I honestly think you should tone down the constant meme edits. Just having information and nice music would work really well for you. Good video!
I appreciate that! I just want to (at least) try to distance myself from being a clone of other Yugitubers, namely DuelLogs because he kinda has the corner of 'cards over animated background with easy listening music' locked down 😅
Yo, really well made. Earned a sub here, hoping more people see your content!
I appreciate that! Here's hoping 🙏 😊
Did you seriously say talking about money will ruin a video when it’s about seto fucking kaiba and his brief case of rare cards. Also I always thought that was just the top layer
Money is the root of all evil 🤷♂️
In all honesty, this doesn't really work. For one, we don't know all the cards in the briefcase, just the possible front row of cards. For all we know, there are multiple copies of each card or other cards in general.
Yeah, Mushroom Man was definitely in there. 🍄
You know its funny uou mention his briefcase (proceeds to cry over the $1000 kaiba english 25th anniversary briefcase)
😭😭😭
I like to think he brought a lot of not so valuable cards because he wasn’t expecting to find a blue eyes, he thought the shop was small and dumpy so he probably didn’t expect to find much
Bet he felt real foolish after that move 🤦♂️
lets be real, we only saw 1 card on each brick, that case couldnt have been holding just one card each
Probably had stacks of Mushroom Mans behind each card 🍄
@@burblebineabbletv Tearlament Players would've murdered for that briefcase when it was full of mushroom man2 and the Card was once hyped for Tearlament a year ago or so
I have a lot of those LOB and Metal Raiders fusions in a box somewhere. Had no no idea they were actually worth a few dollars lol. I assumed they were worth like 2 cents each.
The more you know! 😅
I always assumed the briefcase of was full of cards, not just the visible cards. Kaiba probably brought 90% of the cards.
You're probably correct 🤷♂️
It’s funny to think about, kaiba really just showed up with a 10k of bulk and said give me your prized possession
Quantity over Quality 🤣
To be fair, the briefcase is probably worth more than what most people make in a year. Have you seen what designer and high-end ones cost?
I can't even think about those brands without going into debt
You should probably multiply the total by the likely thickness of the briefcase (approximately 40 cards deep)
Always next time!
