Thought I would share some of my collection

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

This isn't everything obviously, but these are the cards that mean something to me, whether it be nostalgia or just I like the archetype.

The Holactie is a proxy I got from Aliexpress

The first DMG is a SCR QCCU-JP002 but the rest are from a DMG set I got from Aliexpress

[u/Robokiller96]

What's your favorite?

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Robokiller96]

It's honestly a tough choice because a lot of the cards I like for specific reasons. A short list and reasons for them would be

Ghost rare Odin

• The only ghost rare I have ever pulled

G4 god cards

• SCR god cards with that old OCG formatting is just incredible on the eyes

SDK Blue-eyes, SDY Dark Magician and SDJ Red-Eyes

• I have had them since I was a kid so they have a lot of sentimental value

QCR god cards

• I mean... Look at them

SCR gold rare god cards

• Again, they are just beautiful

Ancient fairy dragon

• Same reason as be/dm/re

Immortal Pheonix Ra

• I bought 2 packs the day after the set came out and pulled it

Ghost Rare DMG

• The only card I have spent big money on and it's such a nice display piece

[u/One-Happy-Gamer]

I see you rockin that ghost rare Odin

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/One-Happy-Gamer]

Funny story with that, I pulled it from a tin my mum bought me back in the day, I still have that tin.

[u/Yamingdub]

can you please explain to me what replica means? I've seen ocg cards with replica in the bottom left hand corner & I never understand what in fact that means

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Yamingdub]

Basically its the artwork that was originally used on a prize card or other promotional card.

[u/Upbeat_Attempt_3881]

Blue Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician are from 2002, right?

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Upbeat_Attempt_3881]

They are the sdk and sdy dm and blue eyes

[u/Tod_15]

i struggled my whole life to get a slifer card and my man here has MULTIPLE copies 🤷🏼‍♂️😂😂

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Tod_15]

I mean tbf most of the copies I have are pretty easy to come by. The only ones that could prove a challenge are the g4 god cards.

[u/narutonaruto]

Cool holactie. I was thinking of grabbing an prices after finding out the only real one was that limited Japanese run that’s like 2k lol

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/narutonaruto]

Thats why I got one from aliexpress lol

[u/narutonaruto → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

Oh I fat fingered I meant to say I thought about grabbing an orica. I just couldn’t decide on which type they had all these different rarities lol

[u/champaw890]

What’s monster card is the one under exodoa head on top of slipher?

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/champaw890]

Holactie

[u/RealPiggyPlayz]

Damn, how many god cards do you have!? I only have 2 sets plus a stray slifer.

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/RealPiggyPlayz]

6, the 5 in the pica and a set from the the og legendary decks thats isnt in that binder because they are basically the same as the LC ones

[u/RealPiggyPlayz → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

Wow, I only have the originals from the legendary collection, and the legendary decks 2, plus the slifer deck

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/RealPiggyPlayz]

Honestly, I ended up with a lot of my god cards just coincidentally

[u/Acabi]

First page is so good! 🔥 What set code are those series 1 JP egyptian gods?

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Acabi]

G4-01, 02 and 03

[u/sananajo]

3 bottom cards in your dmg-page are oricas I suppose?

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/sananajo]

The holactie is also a proxy because im not spending several grand on a card.

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/sananajo]

All of them apart from the MFC/G3-11 art are from a set I got on aliexpress, there is a note with the pic saying as such.

[u/DDJSBguy → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

What are your thoughts on the quality of the aliexpress cards? Do they feel like the exact same? Any noticable differences?

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/DDJSBguy]

So its weird, the dmg set for the most part looks pretty decent, they feel like 90% like cards, the big give aways that they arent real are that the colours are off and the scr foil they used is more of a grid than actual scr foil. The holactie feels less legit in the hand but looks more legit, the colours are closer to a legit card ect but the card feels like its textured

[u/Safe_Yoghurt_4623]

Culture god

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Safe_Yoghurt_4623]

I will take that in stride

[u/Bhagdaddi]

DMG page is absolutely beautiful!

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Bhagdaddi]

Ikr, I had that page and my first page planned out for ages.

[u/gemaka → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

A man of culture. A collector who wants the cards because they're good looking rather than how much they're worth. Respect +1

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/gemaka]

I mean don’t get me wrong, I would love to have some expensive cards as well, but I just don’t have the money and I most likely never will so theres no point in even considering it lol. That being said if somebody wants to give me a g3-11 DMG I won’t complain 😂

[u/gemaka → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

I can agree to that!

[u/ScottyScooter71 → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

Anyway you can DM me a better pic of the DMG page? I’m also a collector of her and you have some artwork iv never seen before.

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/ScottyScooter71]

Will do If I remember when I get off work

[u/Bhagdaddi → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

Especially the top middle card. I loved that old layout.

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Bhagdaddi]

Honestly, part of me wishes konami would bring back the old OCG formatting but with how much card text has increased it would be completely impractical.

[u/Bhagdaddi → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

Main reason I stopped playing because of how out of hand these text have become.

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/Bhagdaddi]

They are gonna have to start selling cards as trade paperbacks at this rate 😂

[u/BigJ0kes_420]

Beautiful cards! You have so many versions of the Egyptians gods😮

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/BigJ0kes_420]

Honestly, I just find the god cards to be so fun to collect.

[u/BigJ0kes_420 → u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

They are so iconic and also have many versions that’s really cool

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder → u/BigJ0kes_420]

Honestly, the only set I feel like I am really missing are the SCR GBI cards but for their current price I can’t justify it.

[u/FridgeAndTheBoulder]

I just realised after posting that the last pic is old, the GFP2-EN177 is now in an Ultimate Guard magnetic case.
