You can also open a DDS game and have minty air
You've got the most pristine air out there though! Don't forget it!
@@solemnyugioh black label air
BGS 10 Black Label O2 XD Glad you got that sorted out though man.
How is the situation with it are you getting a new one?
@@yomama070 I don’t know of another for sale unfortunately
The Blue eyes white dragon with anime looks is the most gorgeous card ever
LOB is actually the most nostalgic for me personally. The LOB blue eyes art is also the pack art and everyone on the playground knew what it was, but no one had one because it was so hard to pull. I remember my first time seeing one and being amazed that it came from the booster pack. That made it have almost mythical status, similar to how the base set Charizard made us feel. Maybe it's different for me because I grew up in a poor neighborhood, and none of the kids could regularly open booster packs. The SDK and DDS blue eyes were cool, but because they were guaranteed it did not carry nearly the same weight on the playground as LOB. Same thing with the BPT - it was guaranteed and a reprint so it just didn't have that wow factor. A lot of the nostalgia for me comes from the way the cards made us feel when we were kids.
Upon returning to the hobby in 2019, it made complete sense to me why LOB was the most expensive, and it is still my personal favorite. I do agree that the art on the DDS/SDK is more nostalgic/objectively better, but I also like the LOB art. All of that said, no one knows where the market will take us next, and all three versions are obviously desirable for their own reasons. Just thought I'd share my own experience/memories.
+AC PokeMart That’s cool! Thanks for sharing :)
Ain’t no way you think the ugly ass blue eyes is the best. It ain’t nostalgic like the dds or sdk bro
I actually don't like the lob BECAUSE I never had one or even seen it very often as a kid. The nostalgia isn't there. I'd actually sell a 1st ed lob psa 10 and buy 3 sdk 1st ed. Psa 10 if I had one. So many fond memories with the sdk one.
Agreed! I’m nostalgic for both as I remember both arts from the playground back in the day. SDK/DDS definitely has the nostalgia factor and is the most attractive art by most people’s standards. The LOB however is pretty close to that nostalgia wise for me personally and is a card I’d love to own at some point in 1st Ed!
Blue eyes toon is the winner, lets face it
TRUUUEEEEE
I remember when DDS blue eyes was $100 and being a high school and being like dang that’s a bit expensive for 1 card
I would remember seeing mechanical chaser or gemini elf being displayed, yep that is one expensive card. Or even those test print cards, only if we have the foresight. now we're older we can buy sets and hold onto them and flip 20 years later, maybe.
Enjoyed this video ... I have just framed a perfect set of SDY and SDK 1st edition Blue Eyes and Dark Magician ; up on the wall next to my framed 1st Charizard/Blastoise/Venensuer. My son got really into yugioh on netflix and I just had to get the originals from Japan to have on the wall for the next 30 years. Waited 2 months, and then had to give them to the framing place for another 2 weeks. But they look great. THANKS for the awesome video.
Oh cool. BPT-003, I can just open a tin and get one.. and get a Summoned Skull
I have great BEWD luck
But you pulled 2 bewd from lob though :)
@@Russianboyz95 hehe true
biggest bruh moment
I just purchased a PSA 7 SDK. The SDK will end up getting the recognition it deserves. It is the card with the most nostalgia and overall that's what will make it consider it the holy grail. As long as the pop report stays low on it. Which I'm pretty sure it will because almost EVERYONE played that card hard when it came out.
What did you pay out of interest
Anything below a 10 wont matter 😂
Great video, thank you! Actually happy to have found your channel around 2 weeks ago, has been helping me quite a lot! Keep it up! :)
I have a pck Blue Eyes and I love it. The beautiful foil and the the text is great. I also love the artwork cuz you can see Blue Eyes in all it's menacing glory. However I love the sdk art more cuz of the nostalgia. I have an sdk Blue Eyes but it's an unlimited edition.
*Imagine if investing in Blue Eyes can make you as wealthy as Kaiba haha*
I just got a BPT-003 2002 Blue Eyes. At a PSA 9 and super excited about it! It also has the misprint with the reverse foiling so I think it gives it more unique rarity.
I bought a dds game shortly after I saw an ad for it. The dds cards are still in my binder. And I pulled a BEWD from the 1st pack of LOB I ever opened. Having the BEWD trinity from the beginning is a nostalgic feeling.
My favorite blue eyes art is the Jump promo card which is the blue eyes in space with the earth in the background 🌎🐉
SDK will eventually win
I used to collect these when i was a kid, ive just recently discovered my old collectors book with all my old Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon cards. Flicking through i discovered i own a 1st edition Blue eyes SDK-E001, along with a handful of 1st editions and even a Limited edition diffusion card. As i've had no interest in these for over 20 years i wouldn't even know where to start when looking for value or even to sell. From your expertise do the cards i've mentioned hold any value?
Thank you for this great video! Do you happen to know if there are other options with the same artwork as DDS and SDK? BPT is an good alternative though.
great video! :) From a lower tier of collecting, any thoughts on future value for the ghost rare blue eyes from gld5?!
what's your thoughts on the god cards? mainly like the value of the GBI ones and so on
Your channel is great, think you’re gonna blow up 👏 Great stuff
i'm recently just getting into the collecting and learning. i've been looking on Ebay and there are graded first edition Blue eyes from 2020? surely 1st edition is from 2002? or am i missing the point here haha
I got 2 blue eyes white dragon one from sdk but it is damaged because the previous person didnt take good care of the card. My second blue eyes white dragon is from power cube comes with the lob pack it wasn’t used. None of my blue eyes are first edition. I wish it was first edition. Your video caught me a lot of attention about yugioh collecting and investing keep up the good advices on yugioh cards! ^_^
i like the lob art blue eyes the best, i was amazed when i saw that and the lob dark magician and i loved them way more
How long was the 1st edition run for the starter deck yugi and kaiba? You mention most had the unlimited, so Im curious. @Solemn Yugioh
Ive got a blue eyes white dragon 1st edition and when you showed those pictures it was the same as the one in the middle its in extreamly good condition but i was kind of reckless with it since this was my first time buying cards i just did it for the fun of it and decide to search one up turns out theyre worth alot how much is it worth if the conner is alittle white from rubbing it slightly.
Which place in the ranking would you consider for Retro Pack 1 BEWD?
I have a SDK and LOB and they are perfect I can’t wait to send them for grading!
what reliable place do you know of that does that? I have 3 blue eyes and i’m not sure where to send them to
@@dylanmarcus9221 haven’t found any without a 6 month wait!
sdk is the most nostalgic but it was always crazy when some kid would have an lob back in the day. just feel like i never saw those as much so they felt more rare. never once saw a dds blue eyes and i made a dumb trade for a jmp that i still have to this day. most of them are pretty nostalgic to me
I currently have a 1996 bpt009, looks super nice..... What's the best way to not get screwed on Price? Can you recommend anywhere near Branson Missouri? I realize it's a big ask.......
Blue Eyes Shining from Retro Pack has nice looking art as well
I agree!
I love the Shonen Jump BEWD, bought myself 6 of them in PSA 10. (Pop: 46). But as far i saw Shonen Jump gets more recognition atm.
How about the newer releases of the dds blue eyes? They have the same artwork. Would their prices go up over time?
I have the 1st edition LOB-001 Blue Eyes White Dragon (ungraded - decent quality), any tips to sell it high? Worth?
i have a blue eyes white dragon SKE-001 but it doesn't have 1st edition on it what is it worth contact me please for info
Um so I have a LDK2-ENK01.. is it worth anything? (I was just looking through old cards I had and haven’t played yu gi oh for like 6 years)
I have 3 holo BEWD! One is a 1st edition SKE-001 with the broken neck like you said you disliked and have 2 SDK-001 versions. Doesn't say first or limited edition unfortunately on those. Also got a REBD SDJ-001 along with Kuriboh, Relinquished, Monster Reborn, Rocket Warrior, Twin Headed Thunder Dragon, Griphon Wing, Dark Magician, Lord of D., Magic Jammer, The end of Anubis and many more!
I like SDK the most because of the iconic art and it has the most nostalgic value. Back then, I didn't even know LOB Blue-Eyes existed and I'm not the biggest fan of the art either. DDS just looks so pretty though, if people are looking for aesthetics, DDS is the clear winner.
I personally like DDS blue-eyes the best, then SDK then LOB. I am one of those that think nostalgia is one of the biggest factors. I mean the people who grew up with DDS and SDK that are CEO's or doctors or whatever are gonna want the copy they used to play with when they were kids. DDS and SDK both have that sweet nostalgia to them. I remember pulling my LOB blue-eyes and going wtf is this ugly thing. The bigger question is....will Dark Magician Girl MFC also become a grail? XD Simp power cannot be underestimated!
An What ist with the sm-51 blue eyes;-)
The twist is that all three, sdk, lob, and dds blue eyes are the grails cause kaiba used 3 blue eyes 😎
And What ist with zehn sm51
I had one of each in a binder I had as a kid. I don’t if I still have them or if they’re even holo
Duel Terminal Blue-Eyes & the Special Edition Gold Rarity from the movie pack Blue-Eyes I could see going up just for being exclusive rarities.
I have an sdk-001 1st edition blue eyes white dragon, i looked it up and was not really worth that much?
As somebody who used to love Yugioh and just getting back into it, I love your content. I do have a number of the older SDK and LOB 1st Edition cards, but wanted to get your thoughts on the 1st Edition SKE-001 as i've seen a bunch of these around on eBay and such, but are they actually worth anything?
I’m also wondering
@@samsilva4675 they’re trash
When he showed the 3 blue eyes pictures the one in the middle I have like 10 of them from like 2001-2002 that still look brand new so I wonder how much they’re worth I never played the game I just thought they looked cool so I collected the blue eyes white dragons I never even played with them I put them in a trading card sleeve book no bent corners or anything I wonder how much the set would be worth then?
I picked up a blue eyes Duelist Pack Kaiba (2010) unlimited PSA 10 a couple years back. Do you know you know a rough value estimate? i cant find any sales data
Cheers, Jesse
I find it very fitting, that we have 3 top contenders for BEWD. You know, since it's also iconic how Kaiba used 3 of them. Sort of wish it stays that way, just for the flavour :D
I also do have a question: I do have an old 1st ed. BEWD from SDK (not really mint condition tho) but, since I'm from europe, is this even the same card as the ones getting graded and demand such a high price?
What is bewd?
EU mostly sell for way less.
Kinda Stupid but are the same mostly.
@@halilacikgoz7865 BEWD = Blue Eyes White Dragon
Yo i really need help. i have a first edition, LOB-001 blue blue eyes white dragon but its completely different from the one you're are showing. the picture is of it in-front of a tablet. it is also very off center with more frame on the left to right. Is it a fake? please help me
My uncle gave me his old tu gi oh cards an it has 3 broken necks but they have bent corners and and one has a torn corner
Gotta ske blue eyes first edition. 1996. Do u got a ballpark of value bc its pretty confusing.
Great video man, super glad I found your channel. I agree that LOB looks like shit, but it’s definitely going to remain the most expensive version. This is my personal ranking.
1. DDS
2. SDK
3. LOB
4. Everything else
This is my opinion as well :D
same
I have a lob 1st ed I think would grade a 7 or 8 is it worth grading or should I just keep it aside?!?
i have a blue eyes, but i see so many prices etc.. right below the picture stands SDK-E001. is this card value? pls help me thnk you
What about the Spanish secret rare from DOR (Spanish DDS)? They are currently selling for little money on cardmarket.
I have a ungraded non first edition SDK -001 ungraded but I’d say pretty good condition can’t be lower than psa maximum 9 but I’m no pro. Moneys low how much could I sell it
Dds is the by far the prettiest. Sdk wins in the long run in my opinion! I don’t think the pop report will ever have a serious boom unless someone unveils a few skids of mint starter decks from some warehouse and they all grade well. We ALL played tf outta that card when it came out while most of us never even got out hands on the lob blue eyes.
Excuse my ignorance but whats a wavy print? And what was the other one mentioned! I have a psa lob blue eyes and someone once asked me if it’s a wavy print. Idk what that is
Ok wavy print is this instead a completely smooth surface across both the art print and the baorderin or even just in places....its more desirable across the entirety of the art work and then the whole card however...you can establish if one is wavy by doing the following. In a well lit area hold the card out of sleeve protection by fingers on outer surface embracing the card between your fingers holding it in place then move the card in a rotation so that the light moves up and down the holo if there are waves in the foil you will ne able to tell of not the entirety of the card is smoothed....
Yo the one your posting up in picture on lob is the 2002 reprint. Theres a 1996 version also
Wish there was a affordable sdk art one... is there?
i have a blue eyes white dragon DDS but says LOB-001 how is that posible, all my cards are LOB-001. i checked everywhere on internet never seen one ?
I have a mint blue eyes white dragon 1st edition ske, how much is worth
1:57 I didn't know revival jam was so popular :O
Checked my LE bpt-003 front and back, looks perfect to me.
SDK and DDS are the best blue eyes card.. you cannot underestimate the nostalgic factor of the anime.
I have a lob blue eyes white dragon card. I just recently came across the videos online how people are getting into these more and more and I totally forgot I had a pack of yugioh cards. I had them easily back in 2002. Does anyone have an idea what it’s worth?
I have a JMP PSA 8 hoping it will go up and some point.
What about first Blue eyes SYE?
Does anyone know how much a first edition mint condition exodia set would go for?
I have a limited edition blue eyes white dragon. I wonder how much thats worth
There’s also the ultra rare LCKC-EN001 that comes in both SDK and LOB art lol
Regarding the lob blue eyes - it's not about the art, it's about the fact that it's the from the first yugioh pack making it inherently more rare than the other two, which you can get from games. No matter how ugly the art, at the end of the day people will want the lob because it's harder to get (not in psa 10, just in general) imo.
Managed to dust off my SDK 1st edition recently. Wish it was in better condition XD
I have the 1st SDK but unlimited LOB. I want the DDS but that's out of reach by now.
If you look at real sales the DDS has had real sales of 20k and 25k when you cannot find a psa 10 lob 1st that has been sold they are only listing them at 200k and you can’t get one because there aren’t any listed at realistic prices. A listed item is not indicative of the price once a real sale happens that places a value on a card. Unless someone actually buys a lob 1st psa 10 then we won’t know what it’s actually worth.
I still have the 1st Edition SDK still in its factory sealed box. For investing purposes, is it smarter to keep it sealed over the next 10 years?
You're brilliant for keeping that sealed all this time. I can think of a million reasons to keep it sealed, but only one dumb reason to open it; this of course being that sweet nostalgic feeling that only a handful of people can experience 20 years later. That nostalgia can only get better as time goes on, so pls for both our sakes, keep that box sealed. Good luck!
I hope someone attempts to go full Kaiba and collect all 3 DUEL LINKS KC Grand Tournament Prize Card BEWDs in the entire world.
I have GBI-007 does it have some Worth?
Always love discussing investing in old school Yugioh! I've been investing in N/A unlimited LOB Blue Eyes myself. Got 3 so far lol, and I'm still looking to add more to the collection, because like you said, it is Yugiohs version of Charzard. I can't afford 1st edition so this is what I decided to invest in lol. Also you guys should look into investing in the 1st Blue Eyes White Dragon released in booster packs from Japan, you can find the original Blue Eyes LB-01 mint for $100 USD, which is the original artwork from the TV series + NA starter deck. (An unopened booster pack from that set goes for $50, so you guys do the math). Fun fact the Japanese version of Blue Eyes had the original artwork in the booster packs, and the alternate art (the N/A lob artwork) in their starter deck. It's kind of a shame they swapped the artwork when released in N/A, I still like the card, just not as iconic. Hope you keep discussing old school Yugioh in your videos :)
@@bananajoe69420 they've sold from 10>$ to $50 in less than a year
@@bananajoe69420 do yourself the favour and pull up sales history
@@bananajoe69420 Hey have a good 1 Solemn ;)
Solemn YuGiOh, thank you for your channel! I just bought a Blue-Eyes White Dragon DDS-001 in damaged condition (many scratches on the surface) for 325$, Im wondering if this is a good deal? Its a card Ive wanted forever, and its just for my personal collection. I think Ill still like it, despite the bad condition
Sadly the sale fell through, the seller sold the card during the day in person and did not update his online selling profile :/
Cyber-Stein is technically the most valuable. first ever prize card, extremely rare, and kinda nostalgic.
1st Tourney Prize Card BLS would like to have a word with you.
What about the Blue Eyes White Dragon (1st Edition SKE-001) ? Is that worth anything?
Any word ? I have a near mint one but no one talks about it 😅
I found a deck of these cards and I have a 1st edition idk how much it would sell for tho
Price of unlimited SDK?
Dark Magician Girl is yugioh's Charizard, fight me
id say 1st ed blue eyes takes the charizard spot, that’s my opinion thou, he sells for just a hair more then then dark magician/girl, then red eyes b dragon, usually those are top 4 then GBI secret god cards are right under there
@@WhoTao00 what if it had a vagene?
Yeah nah it's sdk blue eyes
Whafs the MINIMUM im looking at spending for an sdk 1st ed? I see so many different prices it gets me confused...I'm not looking for a mint 10 but I'm also not looking for something beat to shit I just wanna be able the own the card I used to own when my mom paid 20 bucks for my deck 😭😭😭
The differences in price you see is VERY often from:
- unlimited
- DIFFERENT LANGUAGES (Portuguese, Spanish, European, Australian, Asian-English)
- fakes
- awful condition
If there's a close-to-mint or mint 1st edition American SDK blue eyes for sale, assume it's gonna be 1k or above.
BPT 003 and 009 blue eyes are the most undervalued cards ever lol
I have 3 gem mt 10's Japanese Kaiba briefcase BEWD's. Likely not worth much right now, but they have that DDS rarity style. They look so good, I favor the SDK/DDS/Anime art. Anything else really doesn't appeal to me. Same goes for the stone tablet pose, used multiple times. in space, or on the tower. Just too many alt arts out now.
I own this specific PSA 10 LOB wavy bewd (28575383) copy you showed in your video and I also own PSA 10 SDK and DDS so lets say I am unbiased. LOB bewd is the actual grail not because it is the prettiest but because it is the only version of the card that combines relative scarcity, printing variations, being the first english TCG Blue eyes (March 8th 2002), being more likely to not grade well and finally being the only of these that you could only pull from a pack. I think people nowadays dont realize how important that is. Back in 2002 almost all the kids had an SDK bewd either 1st ed or UNL cause you could just go to the store and buy it but having pulled a BEWD from a loose pack (cause most kids where I am from couldnt afford a whole box) that was rare. Same with DDS. NGL, the DDS bewd is pretty af but it doesnt mark many boxes other than that. SDK is really nostalgic but its blessing and curse is that everyone had it. It is a pro and a con at the same time imho. Yes it makes it very nostalgic fs but trying to find it never had the "gamble" and "lucky" aspect of the hobby. And yes opening packs has always been a bit of a gamble. :) My 2 cents.
That's a funny coincidence! Thanks for your input. I'll try to give my views on that:
- The only one you can pull from a pack: I agree. That's its major selling point. The luck factor to pull it pack fresh right now is huge. That gamble aspect might just make it win.
- Scarcity: 1st ed sdk is actually still insanely rare. You may know kids who owned unlims, but there weren't many kids with 1st eds. Imo, LOB and SDK both win when it comes to scarcity. Saying "everyone had it" is the same level of disingenuous as saying everyone had charizard. Sure, everyone had base set unlim, but not everyone had 1st ed. That's a really big deal imo.
Regardless, here's my biggest issue: inherent demand.
While LOB blue eyes absolutely has the gamble rarity to it due to being from a booster box, that alone isn't actually crucial. There's a bunch of Harry Potter and Star Wars cards from that era that are just as hard to pull as that LOB. Yet those are selling for pennies (so to speak). I can find sealed corn flakes boxes from 2002 that are incredibly rare to find sealed, but again; I couldn't pay someone to take those off my hands. You can have the rarest object in the world, but if inherently the demand is lower, that price isn't gonna move.
If we look at opinions about LOB blue eyes from a wide variety of people who grew up on YGO, collect YGO and invest in YGO over the decades, the general consensus has always been: "god that thing is ugly". It's only recently, since cards have gone up the past years and LOB is now at the insane price, that people -suddenly- claim they always loved the LOB blue eyes.
And now that new-found popularity creates a reputation that just feeds itself. The price is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's grail => price goes up => so it's grail => so price goes up.
You could argue the entire card game as a collectible market is currently functioning that way and I would, to an extent, agree, but if all of that is pulled away (and it could be), I believe inherent demand from the nostalgia-driven consumer will matter and I truly feel LOB has a really really big issue then. Meanwhile, even before the collectors market was huge, DDS blue eyes was already loved by many due to its fancy bling and iconic art, despite not being as rare as either LOB and SDK.
This is why I feel the debate isn't settled yet. All 3 have things going for them and against them. If this market stays completely speculator-driven forever, I believe LOB will win forever but I also believe that's incredibly dangerous.
Maximum gold blue eyes ftw
How much is sdk blue eyes (not 1st edition) ?
Whats the value difference between a PSA 9 LOB-001 and a PSA 10 LOB-001?
Probably double
I'll also say this now the first lob 96 card was made off of a sketch art of ...on the side of margin ....it was a sketch art make into the card re rated ever since ....
I would know.
.
I have both I just don’t know what one is what?
If I were to start collecting, I would go for the classic Blue Eyes, Dark Magician and Egyptian god cards.
Hell yea
Why are some SDK 1st eds having silver eyes of anubis the G aligns with the L properly
If the ‘1st Edition’ stamp is on the bottom of the card is that a sign of a fake?
No, that’s normal for modern cards
Thoughts on the Maximum Gold Blue Eyes? Do you think it'll rise in value in the years to come?
I don't rate it highly. It's modern and it's not even rare. Might it go up a couple bucks over time? Sure. Will it outperform a simple globally diversified index fund over time? HIGHLY unlikely
@@solemnyugioh Thanks for the insight man! As a beginner in yugioh collecting/investing, your channel is really helping me a lot. Subscribed :)
@@solemnyugioh you still feel that way knowing that production quality was trash for maximum gold? A PSA 10 from this set with low pop sounds nice
I just bought a 1st Edition (American English) LOB-001 Blue Eyes in a PSA 4 for about $1150 ($1300 after taxes and fees). Planning to hold it for 10 years and sell around 2032. Who knows how well this comment will age, worst case scenario it's just a piece of my childhood since I was a kid back when Yugioh first started and it's worth the sentiment for me even if it fails financially.
Hey I have the original blue eyes mint condition I have all three kind mint condition how do I get graded to sell
There are 2 companies that offer grading services in the US: Beckett and PSA. Both grade tcg cards as well as sports cards.
What you think about SDK Unlimited White Dragons ?
His last video actually covers this topic. He states it’s over priced.
What doesn't add up to me is that the BTP limited edition cards are just as nostalgic, just as pretty and just as old as many of the vintage cards rocketing in price in 2020. But the price for good quality BPT cards remains relatively low?? :o
They have been moving up a lot too. But yes, I feel they're undervalued. Regardless, there's some reasons. They're not as pretty as DDS, they're not from boosters so "easier" to turn sealed into the card and not everyone grew up on them like on the starter decks. All those tiny reasons definitely add up.
@@solemnyugioh interesting, seems like the solid buy for someone wanting that nostalgia/investment purchase if you cant afford 1st ed LOB. Better than unlimited LOB cards imo.
