#YuGiOh - Hry
someone needs to make a video on the Amazon scams that have been going on forever with no consequences to the sellers. Happens with pokemon too.
@Alto Glow overpricing sucks too. The scam in question (just FYI idk if you're aware or not already) is the go-to listing when you search something up and they have tons of fake positive reviews.
But a few in there say their packs were resealed and all commons. Happens all the time and it's really sad. Amazon doesn't seem to be doing anything about it either.
@Alto Glow isn't that a scam in itself though? (No sarcasm intended)
Exactly! From what I can tell, Amazon doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it. So they either don’t know this is going on, or they do know and they just don’t care. Either way, it’s sad that so many people are getting scammed out of their money because they don’t know they’re buying fake stuff…
@@ultimatewitcherfan6677 I think they know. They just don't seem to care.
Sam should start a variation of Meme Review called "Card Review" with this concept where he hunts for fakes and makes a collection out of them.

I’m mad they reseal boxes with mix matched packs that have no holos and cause problems with the community.
I work with a lot of shrink wrap the only thing I can think they could do to fake it is decrease the tension when they wrap the product. This’ll give you more of a scrunchy feel to the plastic

Dude, such an informative video. Thank you for amazing content like this. So many people are getting scammed.
Grew up playing the game and watching the show, recently got sick and stayed in a week and binged a bunch of these guys videos. Genuinely happy I found them, they brought back so much nostalgia and to just see this guys high energy and the love he has for the game is really something exciting to see. I wish the best for this guy in whatever he does
BIG props for helping expose these clowns and helping people too know the signs of a fake. The DDS Blue-eyes scammer in Canada has apparently moved on too fake ghost's now.... Have had MULTIPLE people expose this guy but he just make's different account's.... With the price that a lot of these cards/boxes cost you should really be able too take legal action against these scum bags.
Are those like the fake dds you see on aliexpress?
How can people not tell those cards are fake? You'd have to not have eyeballs...even I can tell and I'm a filthy causal.
Good lookin out guys always appreciate when you guys make videos on this topic its cuz of you i avoided geting scamed for a fake card so thank you
Awesome video! You both are awesome thank you
They leave small clues so the people selling fakes know it's a fake to scam someone. That is crazy!! Learned alot, thank you!!
Hey Sam! Just wanted to say I started watching your videos a few months ago and got back into yugioh because of it. I have started a new collection and today I pulled 2 of my biggest cards Forbidden Droplet and Leviathan Dragon starlight rare from one booster box today. Thanks for getting me back into it.
I'm glad i seen this at the start of my collection, I fell like you just saved my dumb a** some money!.
Instructions unclear, my whole deck is ripped in half help
Simply Unlucky got scammed with some of these good fakes. Crazy.
The Old School Expert touched on this topic years ago.
Now that these boxes literally sell for more than a car, it's extremely risky to invest on these ultra expensive cards unless you happen to know people who own these boxes and wouldn't pull bullshit on others and of course have the $$$ to spend on ultra expensive cardboard.
The Sticker on top of cards surprised me the most..... that's deceptively genius and maddening
Lmao Sam saying that smells good bro killed me with the wish cards
Which is SOOOO funny to me because in my experience, fake cards smell fundamentally worse than legit ones lol
Dude I like this mini documentary style video. Pretty sick if you ask me
Bro i dont even trust buying anything online even newer sets now. I hate the fact you cant buy them from actual stores now. Most card shops are a drive away too.
Love your videos!
You can tell based how the text lines up on the dds blue eyes on determining if it’s real or not also.
Nice video, thanks Sam and SS.
They don't make them exactly 1 to 1 because if they did the market would collapse. If you couldn't differentiate between the two then cards would lose all value. Same thing applies to the fake shoe market as well. With fake shoes they can get super close nowadays but there is always a minor flaw
not flaws, signature touches, otherwise you wouldnt be able to figure it out, even as the creator yourself.
6:41 lmao I believe the word you're looking for is "compress." I like despand though.
i think i got my hands on some fake cards from Adventure Express in Texas, toy store. I was maybe 9 years old and even then i was like "yo this card feels bunk" and it's still in my bulk bulk to this day.
A while ago I got scammed on a starter deck yugi deck. Didn't realise until I opened it and all cards were fake.
Great vid
Yoo I didn’t know yacine had a brother jaja thanks for putting some exposure on this guys. More people need to get educated on these small details when making these big purchases
Great video thanks for the awareness ... I almost bought a fake 10k dragon so this helps everyone
Idk lately with the quality control I’ve had cards from packs come with the thicker font
Also some will feel flimsy thin and others a bit thicker. They’ll still have the same texture/scent tho
They left out minor details so that they can tell which is the real one even in case they can make perfect replica because once it found out the market will crash and destroy their fake business too
The problem comes when you don’t have an original box to compare it to.
yeah bc its too pricey
When I collected as a kid the only card I regret not getting is the gate guardian since I had all 3 to make the fusion
4:10 it protects them in court by making minor errors on logo and copyright related items. Obivously the entire box is a fake / copy right violation - but messing up the logo is a good place to point out it is not a perfect copy. Especially to Konami themseleves in some sort of settlement situation. Essentially if you needed a B+ for whatever reason on a test instead of an A+ , thats the exact theory.
When are or did you announce the winner for the black Friday giveaway?
great video bro, love to see something different
My buddies and I just buy proxy cards or oricas at this point because cards are so expensive. We don’t play in tournaments anymore though just for fun with each other
I did the same for a play set of pot of prosperity actually
Ripping stickers off gas station 02/03 knock offs was a big aphrodisiac in middle school for all of us who overtook lunch benches to set up.
Never forget
Great video
11:11 Edo tensei'd card
When I was a kid my friend from Mexico has plenty cards like this and he gave me a lot cards like this and when I was teen and started playing competitive for the first time I learnt very quick that they were fakes before then I thought it was just cards made in Mexico. Lol.
To be honest, i was expecting more of the auction scam type video but fake products is also bad too
I just went through my cards while watching this with after collecting my cards from my parents I found a SDK 001 Blue Eyed White Dragon 😮
It’s just like with rep sneakers , they can’t make something 1:1 the exact same and sell it or they would be sued. Something about it had to be a little off
I believe they leave small differences in the logo to avoid maximum punishment from the law. Technically that isn’t an exact 100% copy of Konami. Idk, seems like a loophole thing.
anyone else find it super fucking funny when the card ripped and a little bit of omar died inside even tho the cards are fake
Ya I'm calling out a scammer asking for 45k for a box they are really selective of what sides of the box they show and the images are hard to make out the konami logo
I wouldnt base anything on discoloration alone. Print quality yes but theres often a little bit of color variation in old product.
Thank you so much for video, it's helpful, Legends
I laughed at part of you sniffed test pack.
From Deaf Fan,
Richard
11:30 lol its fakeception!!!!
Good vid guyz, but that fake 10K Dragon looks nothing like the real one.
It depends on how you define too good to be true, It’s too subjective. For example, I pulled a second Accesscode talker from el dorado when I already had one and only needed one for my deck. I sold the second one on Ebay listed at $50/$55, but took an offer for $35 when TCG player was moving them around $60 at the time. Sometimes people will undercut the market just to make a quick sale. My buyer might have seen that as too good of a deal.
@Notorious 885 Yeah I know, I’m just nitpicking the wording.
How to spot a fake after I already bought it. Very clean
You can spot the LOB just by seeing the 1st Edition printing.
I feel some kind of way, cause I have cards still from LOB and there are some of them from back then that just look kinda fake. But they're real, from real packs, brought from the store...
Then there was the entire tactical evolution (TAEV) set that the first edition was all just had that weird slippery feel to the cards. Like they all felt plastic... And counter counter came without the counter trap symbol. Like that entire first edition of that set would flag as fake for them
Some of my cards from TAEV felt the same straight from the pack when I got them from Walmart a while back when they were cleaning out old stock
TAEV cards are like that that I called it the waxed set don't worry they are real!
Ripped up all my cards...
Turns out they were real.
I had some fake cards as child,one day one got ripped And i Saw It was a sticker in a Digimon card lol
Can you please make a video of you submitting these cards to psa and see if they can spot it. ?
Have cards from 2003-04 for sale nd idk how too sell them
Sam: let me smell this pack 😲
Sam: it’s smells good
Had me rolling 🤣

Bruh he been to the Bahamas he still there😅
The seller who sold Ruxin the DDS box was Sassyotto. Was he exposed as a scammer?
I believe sassyotto originally bought it from the unamed scammer to which he then sold to someone else not knowing it was fake. Then ruxin bought/ traded for the box off that guy so basically all 3 of them got scammed if im not mistaken
Thanks for the vid, I’m like super paranoid now to buy cards online 😅
Yeah literally, this video was extremely helpful. Also, when it comes to buying cards online I always make sure to look for ones that i can trust, reputation, and is officially an OTS store because as far as I know when Konami releases new yugioh products to the OTSs the products tend to be the non counterfeits.
thank you very much a friend of mine bought it yesterday and they told him that it is fake then he told me and I saw this video I will tell him
I once had this Galaxy Solder & Ancient Gear Gadget in which the foil cards reflected (were shiny) in the textbox. Is it safe to assume these were fake? I would think Konami only foil the corners of the artwork. (I bought them from troll and toad)
They probably have foil bleed which isn't uncommon.
I've got a fake ash blossom, what's funny is I didnt even know until a few days ago. I found it to be fake myself, and then realised I bought it last year off of some kid lol
Did you at least get it for a deal lol
Need help got a load of 2002 original cards but I have no idea the worth can anybody help me out
I own a couple of fake cards myself, nothing crazy. This just blows my mind how its like this and it gets worse each day, I'm almost scarred by this video lmaoo
Could you make a budget dark magician deck? Btw great video!
Best thing to do is just buy from official tournament stores or websites like TCG player or troll and toad
Yeah I can concur with purchasing with online card store websites like TCGPLAYER and troll and toad. When it comes to card gaming products of all types. No mistaking that either site can be trusted. Plus quality check and satisfactory assurance or full refund is what I really like about these websites. No scam BS, honest, and reliable.
your videos are keeping me from being bored while i try to get over Covid :( thank you bro
Hope you feel better soon.
@@kirara2516 day 6 and i am starting to feel much better, thank you
How do you even find fakes of these booster boxes in 2021? I collect fakes and I’ve never seen one in 5 years.
I had this LoBWD box gifted to me by my mom decades ago when she was abroad
At the time I started getting into the anime and bought Kaiba and Joey's structure decks, and Pyramid of Light had just recently come out
When I saw the box, being young and all I didn't think much about it, but when I started opening the packs I immediately noticed that this was fake
The feel of the cards was so off, they felt different compared to the structure deck ones
I was pretty bummed out because I was getting some neat cards in the packs, but they didn't have the YGO logo on the back, and some had varrying degrees of fakeness
I pulled a few Blue Eyes, a couple of Ultimate Dragons, and even a Shining Dragon or two which was weird how this card was in the pack before it was shown in the movie when the pack logically came out much earlier than that
I never checked the card list, so maybe it was indeed in there, but it was still fake
While it was bothersome they were fakes, I still included them in my deck, and since i was only playing with a friend of mine only it didn't matter if we used f akes or not because it was just for fun
But now that im getting back into collecting these again, im going to sift through my deck and take out all the fake ones, even if i have no one to paly them with where i live, just out of principle I guess
Sniffing out the fakes
Dang tombox in the first clip
My friend have cards of yugioh but they are false and he don´t know it, how do I say it?
It’s sad cus counter fitting will evolve over time
SO, i think i can answer the question of "Why do replicator's leave tiny hints."
You can TECHNICALLY print fake money. IF it contains the words "This note is NOT legal tender." if you do that, and the person accepts it, you cannot be held legally responsible for what that bill is used for. Because it's obviously a fake and it's up to the person who accepts said bill to say no, not the person who printed it. Now, if you attempt to use said bill for a purchase, you can be held legally responsible but the person who printed it is not responsible as long as they didn't sell it to you because they covered their ass.
This is why, if i'm remembering correctly that is. That there was an arrest for counterfeit artwork in the past, the arrest was for the person who SOLD it, not the person who originally created the counterfeit to begin with. The knowledge of having a fake and selling it is apparently worse than making it and selling it. So if someone on Ebay was selling LOWD for like 25 dollar's, puts in the fine print that it's a fake, then you go and buy it thinking "This is a fucking deal." and sell it for 25k THINKING IT"S REAL WHEN IT"S NOT, the person who'd get in trouble is you, not the original seller.
But, also, sometimes they actually aren't trying to make it obvious. It's kind of a two sided coin, in some cases they want it to be as a real a counterfeit as possible to get as much out of it as they can and in other cases they want to make it clear it's a fake so they can't be held legally responsible after.
I have a friend who can replicate yugioh cards perfectly but only for proxies especially ultimate rare and common rare , rhe differences is that he left his mark below the konami logo in the back of the card.
my thoughts exactly and it is smart asf. Always learn the law
honestly it feels like a matter of time before they are able to replicate them perfectly, I know people get upset but the idea that something is an original and another is a copy is just abritrary distinctions we put on them, I don't honestly mind as long as the quality is good
You can also tell by weight and also color one is lighter then the other I would be sick asf if I got scammed 🤬🤬
See if Jesse can summon "Number iC1000: Numerounius Numerounia" with a single card and in one turn please
We can Nou watch out for scams but what about hackers
So, guys buy cards only from those guys! I'm shocked! What? Fakers make so many cards, hard to detect them!
The legend, the myth, ormar
Whoa!
00:46 Is that Ruxin ?!
Yes. Himself and I went to Goldin to authenticate the 1st Ed case of LOB boxes
Fakers have to change small details, because of lincense/copyright
DANG IT, MY BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON IS *FAKE* >:(
My god… 580k..
Sam sold all his fake boxes that he left in his shed as a kid now he has a legit Yu-Gi-Oh shed as of his video
When Sam laughed at "..so many people open these and don't know its fake" I died
oof that's terrifying
I’m scared to even buy any booster boxes now 😂 ones that are sold by Amazon them selves should be legit though?
Is a card that says 2020 studio dice a fake
Are you from Toronto?
Scumbags that cheat people should be collectively called out. Thanks for the video, Sam.
@6:42
Deflate or collapse?
Wow good eye by StrictlySealed
I really hope Konami know about this scam
Yeah i think everyone here can agree on that otherwise this scamming BS is just gonna cause backlash for them down the road if Konami doesn’t do anything about it.
OMAR (If yk yk)
