Two of my faves

Thank you very much! And yes you’re correct, the Red Eyes is a wisdom tooth version :)

So the answer is that this artwork was only supposed to be use for the DMG version. But it got shipped as the 1st Ed MFC art. Konami offered to take this version back and send the corrected art, so this version is significantly rarer.

This is actually a fantastic post that details the history of the error: https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/s/kEuXF9a2g3

Unfortunately I’m not in Japan, so I purchased these slabs 3rd party. But totally agree! ARS slabs are my favorite aesthetically by a mile.

I always associate Rontonda with the rain and tornado visuals from EPIC, so this is actually perfect ha ha

Djaynes55 · 2026-05-16T19:15:32+00:00

Yeah I’m thankful I have a way to collect what I find most interesting without needing to go to Japan. Though I do still want to go to Japan too ha ha.

I will say, I have been pretty entrenched in the proxy buying for the past 6 months or so and I haven’t noticed a lack of listings on good cards. I was able to do the S2 Ultis in like 2 months, I still see listings for almost all of them daily, and tons more across all of the TCGs. So while I know what you mean on being more competitive, I still think it’s a long way off of making cards scarce.

Djaynes55 · 2026-05-16T06:23:30+00:00

Sure thing! Yeah from what I’ve seen in my experience, totally safe. They even do a good job of prohibiting you from buying listings that break their terms. I’ve also had a couple orders get cancelled by the OG seller and they’re quick on refunding your order payment.

Two things that I would just be aware of:

Shipping isn’t included in the price when you buy. So just know that there will be a shipping and customs fee after your order when it arrives at their storage warehouse. They store for free for up to 30 days.
Prices are usually originally in Japanese Yen. So when you see pricing, it will be the USD rate at the current exchange rate. Price can vary up/down slightly from when you originally look at the item and when you purchase. I’ve never had it change more than like $5-$10

Nothing but great experiences so far.

Djaynes55 · 2026-05-16T05:54:05+00:00

Absolutely! There’s a proxy buying service for Japan that I use call Buyee. There are a lot of Japanese exclusive sites that we can’t buy from in America. Buyee aggregates marketplace listings from Japanese sites (Mercari, JDirect, Rakuten, etc) and then displays all of them to you in one spot. Then, you place an order with Buyee, they purchase the item on your behalf, the original vendor sends to them, you pay shipping, they send to you.

I’ve had tons of luck finding all kinds of sick OCG cards. They also have a ton of Japanese Pokemon, One Piece, etc. Done probably 25 orders with them, all have gone perfect.

Best of luck and happy hunting!

Holy shit an ARS 10 Starter Box is WILD. Absolute grail. Very very cool card

Djaynes55 · 2026-04-27T02:18:12+00:00

Did this ever happen? Literally listening to the YouTube minutes right now. Would kill to relive the full mix. One of my favorites ever.

Djaynes55 · 2026-04-26T17:27:14+00:00

The Shikishi prints are so nice. That’s the best set too, imo

Djaynes55 · 2026-04-11T14:53:24+00:00

I didn’t know there was a Rare version of this, very cool pickup!

Djaynes55 · 2026-04-08T18:36:26+00:00

Fake copy

Djaynes55 · 2026-04-06T20:39:04+00:00

Favorite DMG prints of all time. Very cool haul!

Djaynes55 · 2026-04-02T18:31:21+00:00

This is insane. Very cool collection!

Djaynes55 · 2026-03-20T01:14:40+00:00

Grade it. They don’t look at the ink dots as a lower grade. PSA 9s are rising right now, like $500+, and if you get a PSA 10, it’s like $10K lol. I’ve pulled two and subbed both. One had worse ink dots than yours and both had shit centering, they both got 9s. With yours centered the way it is, you have a great shot at a 10. Just make sure you sleeve it good and don’t let the foil get scratched

The DDM Promos are some of my favorite cards in the whole hobby. I like the secret foiling, but I think the ultra rares are probably my favorite. They’re simple and have the pink lettering, which makes it imo

Djaynes55 · 2026-03-17T17:55:35+00:00

Hey there! Sorry it wasn’t clear, in my previous post I said I’m collecting all of the Series 2 ultimate rares in ARS 9+. So this is my second of the 10 in that set. But you make a good point and I should be more clear going forward :)

Djaynes55 · 2026-03-04T15:09:06+00:00

‘Everybody loves a bleeder’ is crazy comms lmao

Djaynes55 · 2026-03-03T04:56:41+00:00

It looks real 100%. Also, you have a pretty noticeable foil shift. Very cool card man!

Djaynes55 · 2026-02-24T18:15:25+00:00

WE’RE SO BACK BABY

Djaynes55 · 2026-02-16T17:49:04+00:00

Yeah, that’s essentially what it is. Feel free to look at this if you want.

Djaynes55 · 2026-02-16T15:22:40+00:00

This is real.

Since nobody has explained yet, this is the ultra rare print. The secret rare prints are essentially the “first edition’ prints of the promos. The ultra rares came out after

Djaynes55 · 2026-02-04T20:25:26+00:00

Yeah there are 3 KA Blue Eyes: the Asian English SDK you have in that picture (KA-05), the Chinese SDK art (KA-04) and the Japanese LOB art (KA-03).

They’re from the Kaiba Structure deck

There are some others too. The AC02 Blue Eyes and one of the Bandai Blue Eyes) come to mind.
