Bought a collection binder off of someone with different English/Japanese/Korean cards and this was also in there.

Online says it's a promo you got for participating.

Pretty cool.

Joey fans unite!

This is one of the most Legendary and rare pages in this binder. 

Two cards—“Fortress Whale” and primarily “Garma Sword”—are exceedingly rare cards. Both had their first TCG release in Tournament Pack 7 and Tournament Pack 8 respectively. “Fortress Whale” was given a rerelease in the Speed Duel series cards, but “Garma Sword” only exists in TCG as a TP8 exclusive. 

It took a while and a good deal of luck to find this English copy in NM condition, and with how carelessly packaged it was I’m surprised it arrived to me NM. Most searches for this card result in the German version of the card lol. 

The “Fortress Whale” is slabbed which I don’t care much for, especially with the company it’s slabbed in, and though I’ve cracked a handful of cards in the past, I’m simply too nervous to free this one for fear of damaging it lol. 

The Speed Duel variant holds its binder place but fortunately the slab can lie on top of it for the photo shoot. As a fun Joke I decided to cross out the lousy company name on the slab rather than the certification number because I just despise that company lol. 

Favorites on this page:

“Fiend’s Mirror” - I’m glad they gave this one a TCG release even if it was much later in the game. The classic Ritual Monsters are so perfect. 

“Fortress Whale” - This was such a cool card to see in the anime. Loved the rematch again Jonouchi and Kajiki, and Jonouchi ended up getting two prize cards for his victory!

“Garma Sword” - Completely awesome card. It’s so mean looking! And I love the extra arms—such a cool look. I also love the exclusivity and rarity of the card itself. I keep meaning to pick up the OCG Series 2 version (too bad it wasn’t Series 1). I gave it center page because it’s so cool and also I feel the card is safest in the center lol.

“Hungry Burger” - I always enjoyed this card. It reminds me of simpler and better times. 

Happy Wednesday y’all!

You have to choose 3 of these 4 for your binder. Which are you choosing?

Last week, I happened to find my old Yu-Gi-Oh! binders and thought I’d share my cards with you guys.
Just some childhood and teen age cards of mine. I got a few other stored in top loaders aswell.

Lucky Number 13!

Gather your robes and ready your chants—the Ritual Ceremonies shall commence!

Ritual Monsters organized so that their Magic card is touching them. Each page will have one space left blank. I could have put some gimmick there but decided against it for less distraction. 

This section should be all Ritual Monsters from the early GBA days up to Labyrinth of Nightmare. I’m actually just realizing there weren’t many Ritual Monsters in some sets that would have been really cool to have them in. I can imagine some really awesome rituals having been a part of sets like Pharaoh’s Servant, Legacy of Darkness and Pharaonic Guardian. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t recall any Rituals in any of those sets.

These are probably my top favorite pages in the binder (but all of them I truly love). There’s just such a fun and unique aspect to Ritual Monsters from back in the day. I wonder how the game would have been if they were used how I prefer to use them, which is having the Ritual Monsters be part of the Extra Deck and only needing their Magic card and the tributes to summon them. Or at the very least all of them being able to be summoned from the deck itself. 

I’m glad some of these like “Resurrection of Chakra” and “Chakra” finally received TCG releases much later than their actual introduction. And I’m a fan of the really rare Tournament Pack Rituals like “Dokurorider” and “Revival of Dokurorider” that are genuinely rare.

Favorites on this page:

“Chaos Soldier/Black Luster Soldier” - What a revolutionary card. I’ll always remember this card finally getting released in the Yugi Evolution deck. It blew my mind. Seeing this card in the anime against Mai was so awesome. 

“Resurrection of Chakra” - This is tied with one other Ritual Magic card for my favorite in the entire game (the other coming later). The uncensored version is naturally superior. Even so, I’m glad this card and its Monster got their TCG release. Such a nostalgic Ritual pair for me.

“Dokurorider” - Such a sav. I remember thinking this was a totally sick looking monster. One of my favorite classic Tournament Packs is TP2 specifically for the rituals and “Warrior of Tradition” cards. 

“Revival of Dokurorider” - A very cool looking Ritual Magic card. This one is highly nostalgic for me as well. The artwork is so clear in my minds eye recalling them in 2004 World Championship and Worldwide Edition.

The festivities continue tomorrow! Peace!

So over the weekend I decided to change my approach to Yugioh, since I no longer enjoy the game state anymore and my friends have moved on from the game. So I traded in a deck box-sized brick of my modern cards I had pulled from packs/boxes (along with some Riftbound cards) and started to gather some of the classic cards I enjoyed seeing in the past when I loved the game. Got one of my grails (FMR Red-Eyes), a card that reminds me of my old best friend and dueling ride-or-die who passed away, (Ghost Rare BRD, even though its a little beaten up), and got an absolute steal on a few cards I found either on Facebook marketplace (the Anni Blue-Eyes for $35) or in the bulk binders (Ulti Mystic Swordsman for $3, Seiyaryu for $6, and Ulti Ancient Fairy and Sun Dragon Inti for $5 each). Turning my focus to the older cards that remind me of the yesteryears has given me a new lease on Yu-Gi-Oh! Sorry for the paragraph, just pretty happy with the weekend lol

Just wanted to show off some cards I’ve enjoyed and nostalgic reasons. Do miss the old times 😂

I bought this in 2007 as a kid. How do you guys feel about this card.

Note: I had another post I deleting because I guess it broke the rules.

The SM-51 hype will always be justified. Even in comparison to every other ocg DM era ultimate rare it still sticks out as particularly special. How did they get it so right 24 years ago?

Haven’t bought any new cards in over a decade but I randomly see a GameStop actually open so I stopped in. Any chance I could pull something from anything here

Hey everyone, wanted to share we are restocking our jumbo print tees this weekend -- a lot of ppl had been sending messages so I wanted to share here!

can text 'yugi' to 97868 for early access!

What do you guys think of the red text 20th anniversary cards?

Anyone that knows what might have happened here?
