My wife bought me a foil og tarmagoyf for my birthday and when we went to pull it out of the sleeve it stuck to it... they put it into the sleeve while the ink was still wet... got her money back and got a real one but bro... they don't even try to hide it. Weak.
I feel the pain. When i was 13 my mum and step dad threw out all my cards into the trash after they became Jehovahs Witnesses... they told me they were evil and i had brought evil into the house.... i lost everything that was even remotely fantasy based or referred to as "magic"..... I don't know what my collection would of been worth today but i definitely had some spicy cards. Lost it all to a crackpot religion. :(
"There's just so much glue!" Rudy exclaimed, ripping through the real Alpha Shivan in his hands. "One less Shivan out there, my collection grows more valuable" He thought to himself as he fooled the masses.
After never ending $300 collectors boxes, I have justified moving more into beta singles and appreciate these vids more. Just had one swamp have the two white dots near the bottom corners NOT there...thought it was fake, but then saw the dots had been inked over. Bought from one of the big companies on eBay
I tend to buy from every seller who shows an open box of magic cards and says "unsearched" or "got these at a yard sale and I know nothing about magic, my loss is your gain". It's working out real well!! :)
clicking on this channell while u're on outube kinda feels like going into that old and dirty room in your house that you've been forgetting for a while but you can't stop going into because you feel you forgot something pricy in there and you kinda can't let it go. that's what magic is to me
Yup. I fell victim to an amazon masters 25 booster box. Listed for somewhere around $240.00, advertised as factory sealed (new). Did not realize till i opened it , the wizards fact seal was replaced. Inside was cut open not even re sealed boosters. Amazon did return my order. Must had been someone who returned it before, cause the seller was CFB. Buyer beqare. Great channel. Love the endless boxes of love in each video.
if the card was ironed, it is likely the glue is hotglue of some variant. the weapon of choice would have been a hot iron or hair dryer instead of a box cutter.
If you want to separate a card's layers, you need to moisten the edges first. Then once you separate enough, you pull it apart. Edit: (iv been taking apart a lot of magic cards lately, and thats how i get just the back of the card, which I'm using to turn the MH1 Art Cards into full art alters.)
When I was a kid, I had 1 Unlimited card, a Shivan Dragon, but it was stolen from my binder at some point (I still have everything else in that binder). Apparently it would be worth 220 dollars today.
I'd be first if youtube wasn't lazy..omw to the post office cause I made my first sale on ebay😎. You inspire people more than you know Mr. Rudy aka chalupa master
Hey there, got a question mate, would be very grateful if you could give me a hand. I played Worlds '98, in Seattle, Washington. Mark Tedin was there among other artists, so I came along to say hi, had my playing mat (was part of a kit they gave to each player), not many people around, so he asked (super kind dude) if I wanted something drawn, or an autograph? And I said... What about a Juzám? And there he went, he took his time and drew a huge, amazingly detailed, Juzám Djinn, that occupied over a quarter of the mat, along with his autograph. And obviously, still got it, so do you have any idea if those kind of things got a place in the market, and around how much it would be? Thanks again in advance, may you have a great day!
I just bought an alpha lord of the pit for 900 on ebay, it's going to ebay authenticors first before being shipped to me. Soon as it arrives I'm sending it to either psa or bgc for grading, I'm still nervous. I had a bgc 8 alpha shivan dragon and stupidly sold it for 2600 2 years ago. Now I just want to buy more alpha cards 😩.
I was just so ready to spend my Timbucks on an Alpha Mox Rudy, but now that I've seen this video, I'm going to save my tacos for another day. Thanks to my A.I.
Could be worse...I lost my collection when my ex had me arrested on a bogus charge, at which point she then had a judge grant her a restraining order. Which meant I could not get my collection without having the means of storing the collection or any of my other possessions. At the time, I had about 20 Path to Exiles, having collected them from playing Alara Standard, among other cards worth money.
Coming from mainly Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh collecting (although I've always off and on loved and also collected MTG) it drives me crazy that so many big collectors in the MTG community use ring binders and don't sleeve their cards before putting them in the binder! lmao I know ABU cards aren't foil so they scratch less easy than most POKE or YUGI cards but still man!
Yeah talk about regret. I remember there being Alpha/Beta Mox's for $20 and Lotus's for $300 in my LGS display case and trading a few of my SWCCG cards for stuff and then later trading that Alpha stuff for items in Everquest (which I never really even got, that little shit ripping me off...). If only.... And then there's the sealed boxes of First Edition Pokemon Base set I lost.
Hey Rudy, Why do you keep your old expensive cards in a three ring binder instead of one of the fancier ones on the market? Is it a cost saving thing, nostalgia? What?

I really appreciate these types of videos. They’re helpful to the community and to anyone considering buying older rares
obviously the universe is telling this guy he's not a magic player and he's just not listening!
sad but true
The universe is only testing his resolve. He should continue and not flounder. He may the best of us all
He should stay the course! Lol...
Watching him mess around with a razor blade gives me a lot of anxiety.
So, I shouldn't store my valuable and flammable cards in an outdoor shed full of gasoline?
Not sure I can trust you, Creepy Rudy
It’s not like every day a shed combusted it fine to store stuff in a shed. Still sucks that he lost his card collection

This has slowly turned into my favorite channel on UA-cam. Thanks Rudy for all laughs, and info.
I love how there is a TACO theme throughout the whole video.

I enjoy these types of videos SOOO much more than box openings.
Man, watching a lot of your videos lately (loving the pink visor ones the most), it really feels like moms are the biggest threat to Magic cards
Gotta love this title and type of videos 🤣 and you’re right nobody could’ve predicted this. I remember playing on the curb, great times
You should heat it up with a blow dryer and melt the glue that way
Please continue with these little Timmy video’s, only thing keeping me going in these times 😂
thank you rudy ! my dad was about to lit up my appartment until i told him u said it was a bad idea ! safed me there bud!

Finally! Rudy shares one of his Shivan Dragons! Timmy overload!!!
Hey bro we played at Hammerhall good to see you're doing bad!
Oh boi ima be guessing Rebacked or trimmed with a smidge of black painting of the borders.
Another awesome video, thanks for the great content!
The most amazing thing in this video, is that Rudy doesn't actually have an Alpha Shivan Dragon.
He’s a skrub and has failed us all.
Dr Rudy, card surgeon.
If you want to separate a card's layers, you need to moisten the edges first. Then once you separate enough, you pull it apart.
Edit: (iv been taking apart a lot of magic cards lately, and thats how i get just the back of the card, which I'm using to turn the MH1 Art Cards into full art alters.)
Try heating it up to see if the glue melts and seperates the layers.
When he said his cards were burned down ... I could smell the fire. Extremely weird experience
I'm not the only one, then!
Moms, magiccards and sheds, don't add fire. Think I got it now!
I was so hoping you would break out your collectors editions to see what version it is. Definitely a reback from doing the light test.
When I was a kid, I had 1 Unlimited card, a Shivan Dragon, but it was stolen from my binder at some point (I still have everything else in that binder).
Apparently it would be worth 220 dollars today.
In the trolliest flex Rudy glues a Shivan dragon to an alpha lotus
I wonder if you heated it up with an iron, you could soften the glue and peel it apart?
It looks like it's one of those glued together cards people used to make to scan the little kids

I suppose fires and floods will keep happening from time to time so old cards will keep getting rarer with every loss.
So what happens to values of the banned cards that considered offensive?

I wanted to see Rudy rip the card to shreds so baaaaaad
Rudy. I’m concerned by your lack of box cutters. Might need to buy another metric ton of them.
You could have given it to ink epstein, although he might have forgotten it was fake when it came time to resell.✒🐉
"Goodness, Lord of Taco Party Packs" Well I didn't expect to have a new favorite thing to say, but here we are.
How do I get my hands on an Alpha Investments/Rudy's Game Store Box Cutter? Forget tshirts and mugs I want a box cutter
Wondering if steam would help separate it
Drink every time Rudy says 'glue.'
*passes the bend test* OH ITS CREASING!

First time ever someone mentioned their thumbnail idea during the video..

"Down to our last few", as you pull out an entire box chalk FULL of them... Lol
Plot twist: He put the fake one in his binder and the real one he destroyed.
Shiving the Shivan Dragon, we are truly in the best timeline haha
Could you have applied heat to the card to cause the glue to fail?
What kind of light is that? Wouldn't mind getting one myself.
That card was lumpier than microwaved mashed potatoes
Where do you find these people, Rudy?
Those corners on Shivan are rounder than a cul-de-sac.
When Rudy tells you he's going to change the lighting. Giggity.
You need to sell lights to scan the cards
I was just so ready to spend my Timbucks on an Alpha Mox Rudy, but now that I've seen this video, I'm going to save my tacos for another day. Thanks to my A.I.
Watching Rudy slice the crap out of his fingers at 8:42.
Could be worse...I lost my collection when my ex had me arrested on a bogus charge, at which point she then had a judge grant her a restraining order.

So how does one contact Rudy to evaluate some old cards?
Take a drink every time he says "there is just so much glue..."
Too much glue in that taco, Rudy
On the next Timmy's Emporium...Dr. Rudy operates on an "Alpha" Shivan. 😆
blood everywhere.
I thought for sure we were going to see a close up of his fingers getting cut by that box cutter
Coming from mainly Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh collecting (although I've always off and on loved and also collected MTG) it drives me crazy that so many big collectors in the MTG community use ring binders and don't sleeve their cards before putting them in the binder! lmao I know ABU cards aren't foil so they scratch less easy than most POKE or YUGI cards but still man!
Stroking that razor blade
would you estimate most of his collection is/was like this?
The title should be maniac destroys perfectly authentic alpha shivan dragon
"Down to our last few"...shows a box of 200 box cutters...Rudy you're awesome!
Why did you compare a Beta to a "Floppy alpha"? Are the beta and alpha cards the same or is there differences to them both? Just curious. :D
try heating up the card before hand with a blow dryer or heat gun.
One of these time ruby is going to cut into the card and just start screaming swear words
Yeah I was worried that Ruby was going to cut his finger. Be more careful Ruby!!
ruby will drop the n word with a hard r like pewdiepie.
Good ole Ruby
3:10 holy cow Rudy is so gigitily skillful in rubbing taco 🌮
every day.
Zero dollars? Uh oh I’m guessing right now it’s a re-backed card. Let’s find out 😈
Yeah talk about regret.

If only.... And then there's the sealed boxes of First Edition Pokemon Base set I lost.
Next time compare the fake to ICE/CE, think that helps people understand also the properties of CE cards as well
On the back of the card I can even see a bump underneath the surface.
