No, negative attention is still bad. You can be blasé about it but reputational damage still holds true, if people know you aren't good for business they're more likely to withhold business, it's probably better to be known than not known at all, but it's still worse to have a negative reputation. Returns from cardboard investing are still lower than S & P, most assets, take up physical space, and are illiquid, so it doesn't help that he occupies a narrow, less profitable niche.
When you factor for inflation the game piece era is worse than you think. Money itself is worth less, packs cost more, and the game pieces have lower values than they used to. If the cards retained the same value inflation means they're worth less than they were a few years ago. That they're going down in value while prices are inflating is a double whammy.
@@SnotFroth not really, because the sealed packs are more expensive than ever, and the "buy singles" concept relies on boxes being opened in mass to be readily available. But if the prices of singles collapse (endless reprints, power-creep, too many variants, etc.), then stores will have no incentive to open boxes to sell singles at a loss, hence the availability of cheap game pieces will be negatively affected. Also, players won't be able to trade cards they no longer need, getting only peanuts in return.
Not going to lie, I watched this video hoping uncle Rudy was actually going to do a pink visor talk about bankruptcy. As a person going through one, I really would love to hear the perspective of someone educated like you on it.
Imagine getting a chicken sandwich meal from Chick-fil-A and not getting your waffle fries and going up to the counter to get them and they go sorry we didn't get the shipment so we charged you for it and didnt give it to you, and don't give refunds.

@@fezzytronv4520I got the update. The first one said, not my problem. The only reason it will be resolved is that Eric decided to compensate... as he should. Rudy did not care at all because he felt $640, way over MSRP, was a good deal
I think this is a good time to buy for those people that simply wants to collect the cards and/or boxes for pure collecting purposes, irrespective of any future financial value. But as an investment, I may be wrong, but I believe that apart from very specific products (maybe some crossover IPs), Magic as a whole is done. Modern cards are reprinted into oblivion and/or power-crept into irrelevancy. The majority of vintage cards have been left behind within the game to such extent that are only desirable for old-school collectors; and even for the few top-tier chased power-pieces there is still the risk that WotC will eventually find a way to reprint them as part of some special premium product. As for sealed product, supply will only decrease over time, but pricing is also determined by demand: how many people in 5-10 years wil be interested in buying a collector box of some New Capenna or Winds of Eldraine set and pay an extra for those?
I agree. I will be buying more set boosters for myself. However I am only buying two of each. The idea is/was to hold on to them and have one to sell for later (ideally for +$200) to cover the cost of both boxes. I did start with just doing the yearly commander release, but it grew to every set and I stopped that somewhere around the New Capenna. It feels like why even bother if they are going to reprint everything and I can just buy stocks/bonds and not have to worry about shipping and waiting and selling.
“Magic as a whole is done. Modern cards are reprinted into oblivion and/or power-crept into irrelevancy. The majority of vintage cards have been left behind within the game to such extent that are only desirable for old-school collectors“ It’s uncanny how perfectly this sums up Yugioh as well 💀

I've been watching since Force of Will, which unfortunately died, but I stuck around here because I enjoy keeping up with the TCG scene through your analysis and wit.
Hi, discussion point possibly. Older people like the nostalgia of the older cards, the younger people don't collect like we, I'm 44 used to. Do you see the older cards holding value? Other then a collector wanting some nostalgia, will the card have value as we older people die off? Yes, I understand such things do hold value and you said you want more black lotuses, but who wants them and why? I don't have the reach and not in that upper line of magic like you are, but not many people I know can afford a black lotus or care about getting one. A box of Urza Saga? It would be cool but seeing it as an investment with how many cards are being printed isn't what I would consider a good investment. Interesting times indeed, not being negative just picking your brain possibly. Do your thing dog, I like to see people prosper.
To be honest, I am also skeptic regarding the majority of old cards retaining or increasing value in the long term, saying this as someone who enjoyed collecting them. Apart from the iconic power-9 cards and few selected Vintage & Legacy staples, the only value of older cards lies in their rarity and nostalgic value, but newer MtG consumers seem to be more interested in seeing their favorite tv show, movie or videogame being turned into MtG cards, and I doubt they could care at all about weak cards with old looking artstyle. And game-wise, what drives sales now it's essentially Commander, which not being sanctioned allows people to just print proxies of difficult/expensive to get cards, further decreasing the demand. Pre-Modern sealed boxes have the wildcard of how rare some foils are, but even then, it is interested to consider how much actual demand exist for those and how much people are willing to spend for their foiled Cradle or Gilded Drake. But I cannot see younger folks spending a lot of money for the experience to draft some Urza box. Just my opinion, anyway.
Does anyone remember Mad tv? There was an antiques roadshow skit where Will Sasso asks "What's the value of something once you completely destroy the value of it?" Wizards... reserved list... game pieces 😢
We're nowhere near a bottom yet - there's new green initiative fees coming for shipping in 2024 set to spike prices for everything (Maersk laying off 10,000 recently), so there's more pressure against discretionary spending and existing debt on the way. If you have lots of spare cash, the dip will keep dipping, but most consumers are going to have to avoid buying. Bitcoin jumped due to the etf's going on the market, but the sec never approved them, just didn't say no. Yet. Wheeeeeee!
Yes. He knew for at least 2 weeks ahead of time that he wasnt going to ever get the playmats but kept it listed in the beta bundle and took the money for it. Then started auto-banning patrons and auto-canceling orders for anyone who called him out on it in his patreon. Kinda scummy. Idk.
Remember the X-men cards in the 90’s Rudy? Man I would love to have a set of the first series of those. I have a signed imperial guard card by Jim Lee, literally the only card from that set I still have 😢
Rudy when is the new Alpha investments shirt dropping is it gonna say Heavy bags for life on your chin? 😂 love you Rudy stay the course stay positive folks
It truly is. I heard "factory sealed Alundra" and got giddy. I had a plan to collect all the disc variants (think there's like 8) when it was a $25 title. Then it became way more expensive and that plan went out the window. Great game though, and I really should play it again.
All this talk about intent to induce strong reactions and manipulate 'feelings' of the patreons, prefaced with a prediction that I assure you is 100% on... is exactly why I continue to pay for my overpriced patreon, when I don't even order products from Rudy. My LGS/business is only in month 8 and we are wildly successful. I too am SURE we are bottomed out, and for us this will be the perfect storm of time and place. Thanks Rudy for being the taco brain you are ❤
The funny thing is that what Rudy is saying is just a fundamental lesson of any buisness that wants to grow. If you want to succeed big you take risks, you gamble. On the other hand if you have your livelihood at risk you diversify in other avenues to never be hosed... Don't be Timmy be like Rudy. Long video loved listening to it in the background. Rudy will alawyas be the Alpha dog! :)
People assume that as soon the economy is great again people will put massive amounts of money in collectables again even after they got burned and jaded by the boom.
It is true, literally a hamburger, large soda and fries is like over $20…idk if this is the bottom though Rude, I hope it is but be careful because no one knows
Hey Rudy! I was a Patreon back In 2018/2019 era and had to stop because of money issues. I decided to check your page again and it says you blocked me? Is this just a mass thing or did I do something wrong? Sorry if i did!
I had an experience where I wanted to sign up and place an order there was confusion on which level I needed to be in order to place the order size. So I had to switch up a level. I sent the money then he accused me of starting at the high level $15 and switching down to $5 level. But that wasn’t the case and if I did some how switch back down by accident he wasn’t even giving me the chance to explain. So no you didn’t do anything wrong. If you don’t do anything perfect or you leave for any reason and try and come back. There are no flexibility to his rules in my experience. I am not saying you shouldn’t try because I don’t know if he might treat you different since you were a former patron. If it doesn’t go well it’s not your fault. It’s a do everything I say or I will ban you forever and for some people they take the deal. Just don’t feel like you did anything wrong because I did when I hadn’t after he accused me and banned me without even giving me a chance to explain, and by saying this I hope I can help someone feeling they did something wrong when they didn’t
When rudy says "the game piece model" is the problem just note that hes completely ignoring the fact that wotc has moved from a rotation model (with standard being dog shit) to power creep. so old magic cards are all a weak investment because they are being crept out of relevance. A year ago there werent enough reprints, now suddenly a ton of cards that havent been reprinted have collapsed. Thats not gamepiece product design doing that.
Market liquidity is the reason I didn't buy rhodium in 2016. The few buyers are going to set the price, and I only have the option to hold without ever making a profit.
Kind of hard to buy anything in bear market when all your money is tied up in mtg sealed boxes from 2015. 😢 plus Wotc and hasbro overprinted everything to zero
Wouldn't the wars, economic depression, and federal deficit not extend further downward pressure? I would think a relapse of inflation would also be a future factor as well.
It’s all about labor market for whether we are at bottom, bottoming process, or still have a large further drop ahead.. make no mistake, a much worse outcome is more than possible even after the current down cycle. If the “soft landing” can occur we are probably in a bottom process.. if increased rates for longer leads to job losses we are in for a lot worse. So FAR people have been able to keep their jobs. That will not stay true forever in a rising rate environment On top of that we now have student loan payments back for 40+ million people that have t been paying those for 3 years. Disposable income will drop from that alone. Overall job losses will determine the depth of the coming crisis

Wouldn't the wars, economic depression, and federal deficit not extend further downward pressure? I would think a relapse of inflation would also be a future factor as well.
This one is so "There is no spoon" Who loves ya baby, the algorithm that's who!
How did the serial killer collector cards do?
I'm still here buddy, been watching you for years, I don't do anything with Magic but I need my taco fix.
Tl;dw - Rudy is eternal...and this isn't even his final form.
It’s all about labor market for whether we are at bottom, bottoming process, or still have a large further drop ahead.. make no mistake, a much worse outcome is more than possible even after the current down cycle.
If the “soft landing” can occur we are probably in a bottom process.. if increased rates for longer leads to job losses we are in for a lot worse. So FAR people have been able to keep their jobs. That will not stay true forever in a rising rate environment
On top of that we now have student loan payments back for 40+ million people that have t been paying those for 3 years. Disposable income will drop from that alone. Overall job losses will determine the depth of the coming crisis
ah yes, my favorite type of rudy video
Please more of these type of videos was a great watch :)
