Because I save vastly more than $120 a year buying boxes/products I want. The saving off of buying Amazon or Ebay is closer to 5k per year. Don’t really care where the $10’per month goes. He could give it to his dog for all I care. I pay $10 a month for more than $500 ish off each month on what I would buy anyway. Years like 2020, I saved closer to 20k if Flesh and Blood is involved.
Rarely comment just want to say what a story - nice job on riding it out and making the right decisions that paid off. Congrats on another hugely successful ride
I've been here for the pokemon videos over the last few years and longer than i even know. This video was a certified hood classic for sure thanks again rudy
I was originally a yugioh guy and got into Pokémon this year too. Magic 30 brought me here when you stuck up for my fav yugioh guy ruxin doing the sponsorship. I’ve really enjoyed listening to your longer videos while driving or biking and I have a lot of good memories learning from them. I listened to this in the shake shack parking lot eating some cheese fries and fireworks just happened to go off in the distance. I appreciate you
I quit MtG for good during Duskmourn. There were a couple of decisions and direction changes that forced my hand. I also cancelled my Sorcery pre-order as I'm pretty much done with TCGs. I only really have a small interest due to my Little Man's interest in Pokémon - and Pokémon Pocket is an excellent implementation for a scaled down version. That said, I still occasionally watch a Rudy video for his observations and Insights beyond Magic. Despite my differences with Papa Hasbro, I hope that Musk never gets his hands on Hasbro. On one hand, he has form in not following through; but the worry is his unrestrained freedom afforded to him for bending the knee. I may not play MtG or D&D (long since moved past D&D), but I still want to see both improve and for players to enjoy both for years to come.
Hey Rudy, If I don't get any more whiteboard videos soon, I'm selling my taco business and becoming a full time professional hate commentor. You have been warned
Rudy, again i can just appreciate your vigor and motivation to keep us updated with your path. Especially your mental state and the emotions attached to it. Some people read Marcus Aurelius or Platon, but i do start to realize that we have some modern era philosophs which can help us all become a better self! Thank you!!
I've said it before, but I always want to make sure to let you know I really appreciate these longer videos where you just talk about what goes through your mind. Thanks again!
The matrix won't allow me to make any money for about 9 more years. I don't know what its like to have wealth management problems. I have paying for food problems. Which is more scary RUDY?
I'm not even a card collector but I love your commentary about the trading card, stock, and crypto markets. Fuck the haters and keep doing what you love.
He admits he has no idea how or why crypto works. He only accepts it for cards. That's it. What has he ever said that makes you think he's even read the Bitcoin white paper?
@@CopperCooper420 Plenty of people don't fully understand Bitcoin but still have the conviction to hodl it. I don't know what his reasons are. He mentions Bitcoin occasionally and I think that's cool.
I love you Ruby! 45:57 "To build the largest Pokémon position in the world" dude i wish i could do things like that...... AWESOME! Keep on Trucking! You're Netflix Documentary will be Epic! Timmy and Nonbeliever's...... It will happen, much to your Chagrin.... it will be called "Cardboard Empire" The life and Shenanigan's of Ruby the King of cardboard..... Love Ya Man!
Oh yeah. I have >$25M in vintage comic heavy bags, Golden, Silver, and 9.8 Bronze Age, so I know where you're coming from. Thankfully I put on the brakes and I wasn't buying much at the peak in `21, nor was I paying anywhere near full market value when I did. It was just too euphoric and crazy to be real. I could feel the bubble building and knew it would pop like a big ol' blister, but everyone else seemed to think it would just keep climbing and never end. Interestingly enough, card collector bros were responsible for most of it. They thought the comic market was way underpriced and thought they could move in and buy it out, but then they realized it was much larger than they had anticipated, and then the cheap leverage capital ran out. There was no gradual slow down, and no "dead cat" bounce afterward, either. One day it just stopped and the money fawcett turned off, as the last of the stimulus/PPP funds dried up.
Hey Rudy, just wanted to thank you for the video(s). Many people make jokes about your content, this video in particular felt like you were "opening up" in the way that men do. Maybe I am overreaching, just feels like its about as emotional as you could expect from a non-emotionally driven man. I cannot imagine what it's like to have accumulated the amount of value you have, it sounds like some days maybe you do not even believe it. Congratulations on the suceess, I pray you are able to find the highest levels of fulfillment through your work.
Thank you Rudy. Someone actually tried to scam me on my second ever eBay sale last month. Thankfully, like you have figured out, most people are good people.
*Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires*
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Good day all👍🏻 from Australia 🇦🇺. I have read a lot of posts that people are very happy with the financial guidance she is giving them ! What way can I get to her exactly ?
Since the traditional means to achieve dramatic effect are pretty much exhausted by this point, I'd suggest wearing a jester's cap in the next video. Or be naked. Or eating rotten food because this is the end of all things.
Hi Rudy I’ve been watching you strictly for your business acumen since I’m not really into collecting these cards. I started watching 2 yr ago when my ex roommate didn’t pay rent for 3 months and I had to kick his ass out and small claims court allowed me to keep his belongings. If you’re wondering the guy spent all his money hoarding 2 dressers and an entire walk in closet closet full of boxes of foot ball, basket ball, polemon and magic the gathering sealed boxes that had packs of cards in them. . I donated a lot of the magic the gathering boxes for local fundraiser for single parent families. Surprised me bc I had no idea cards were worth anything close to the auctioned price since the court’s summary break down of his belongings showed MSRP price and they subtracted a % since it was considered under the category of “used collectables”. I have 8 mini white collector boxes of magic cards that’s under the “dungeons and dragon Forgotten Realms” subcategory. May I please get your insight on if these are going to be worthy keepers like all the cases of the polemon sword and shield evoking skies ? Or are they duds ? I’m not really able to find info on the “TCG” website you mentioned. Much love from Vancouver
Man, congrats on the polemon. You’re Polemon rich. So many Poles in your future. Big poles, small poles, in between poles, so many poles. You are drowning in poles.
i'm still unsure if the gain in value on bad sets is just tracking inflationary pressures or if they actually gain beyond that, maybe rudy will tell me in another hour long video
All I can say is get out while you can, if you can't get out now then you are probably already emotionally attached to what you have. B'cos once you believe that you could move the market by getting out, it's time to get out. Same goes if you are holding tens of millions and that is more than, say, 10% of your total net worth; it's time to re-balance. We'll have low capital gains taxes for the next four years, but who knows what happens after that.
the 6.5% isn't enough crowd is also the bid it up crowd. starting to see people trying to trade for alpha P9, distribution phase closer to end then beginning imo.
Well, Rudy, I'll stay your patron as long as I can. I got in when I realized you were my favorite UA-camr and I wanted to support your vids. Keep it up, brother.
Love the content... however I think you should mention you charge 15$ a month for your patreon. Your prices are good if you consistently buy more than $150 in product. And you don't always sell everything you have 1 box at a time. Over time that's a bigger commitment than simply getting 1 box every time a set comes out. Your product is more for someone who consistently buys in bulk. I don't think a lot of new patrons don't realize that when they join
Hopefully you got all of crypto off of the exchanges. They get hacked quite a bit and if you decide to cash out, most of the time those exchanges crash. Get it on a wallet, specifically a offline wallet, and you'll be good to go.
@thabudmaster most crypto go to 0 bc they are premined scams that exist only to scam. some scams like eth keep value due to just good theater and lots of illiterate trash falling for scams
Real collectors and investor's watch 40 minute rudy rants to gain philosophical wisdom.
Fax, this guy has a lot of wisdom
real
Honestly I think he's somewhat of a grifter but yes, these longer more serious video's are quite insightful and I tend to tune in for them.
Theres nothing quite like a 40min plus rudy video. The ASMR of the CCG/TCG Space. A true legend
Folks! History is repeating again. Rally for a power ranger fugazzi taco tuesday. Nothing changed when everything seems different. Keep it real.
Y you sending this millionaire 10 dollars? Timmy

Not as good as the Pokemon bathroom, But its a good 9/10 for sure

I sincerely hope you can be the CEO of Hasbro one day, Rudy. You'd probabbly do a great job.

Only if the visor is included
GTA 6 visor ai radio Rudy is the best. There’s so much training data ie all the UA-cam videos you could probably make some convincing long form takes
Let me know how you monetize that.
Been here for 5 years. I have a great sealed verity of stuff because of your advice. 👍

Hey rudy, i am from germany . You are my hero.❤thank for being on UA-cam
So close to enlightenment. You're almost there as the pot meeting the kettle.

Rudy show us your high school car
Rudy I’ve been watching from a far - you’re a cool dude keep doing what you do!
Glad you made it through brighter on the other side Rudy. I’ve watched you for years and don’t even collect or play tcgs.
I'm not even a card collector but I love your commentary about the trading card, stock, and crypto markets. Fuck the haters and keep doing what you love.

I have watched this twice now i think this it your greatest youtube video. It genuinely honest. Plus sharing everything.
Love these rudy talks. Your advice is probably some of the best I ever found. Stay the course, slow and steady wins the race.
I love Rudy and I will be a Patron for the foreseeable future!
I saw the sonicboom coming off that "FOLKS!" Petrifying.
You know Rudy, you're alright.
Rudy, hodling through that $16k bottom will be the best decision of your life. Diamond hands and balls of steel. Well done sir.

TLDR- Rudy saved Magic
you kept cashflow alive and even didnt need to convert crypto... amazing
Take a victory lap sir. We'll deserved!!!
We need a new bingo sheet for the current age. Inflation, grading, tacos, etc
Rambling wisdom appreciated 🧙🏼♂️
If you didn't hang around until the 52 min mark, you missed Rudy confirming the Card Board Illuminati is real.
It'll be interesting to see what 2025 will bring. I suspect older boxes will go through the roof due to the universes beyond take over.
Vindication can also be bitter sweet, and vindicated you are.
Yesss long video!
Stay the course! Congrats Rudy.
Caem into hard times during Covid and wish I could be a patron again :(
Thank you Rudy. Someone actually tried to scam me on my second ever eBay sale last month.
Thankfully, like you have figured out, most people are good people.
This is the type of video I will always watch through
Return to return to return to return to 2024
Keep it up Rudy. There is only one of you !
that post wafflefry clarity goes hard
Yup, its always the big crunchy waffle fry that does it.
Did Rudy just say he is a market maker in a ton of pokemon boster boxes? Like he can control the secondary market price?
He can, at least temporarily if he flooded the market. Can't see why he'd do that though unless he dies and his Mrs does it.
@@monkey39128 or the price is artificially high because he has 50% of the secondary market of one booster box off the market.
you an inspiration bruv
Great take on the investment stuff, Thanks

Hair is looking really good man
Does Rudy’s Patreon allow you to buy Pokemon internationally or is it like mtg and you can only buy from the Us?
That one perfect salted waffle fry that changed the course of Ruby's life(yes I misspelled your named on purpose because you such a precious rock)
Rudy, what are the benefits of becoming a Patreon of yours? I am legitimately interested.
Im not letting this cycle slip.
Just here for the folks!

So when do you plan to cash out the crypto payment for your card sales?
crypto are scams that pretend to be Bitcoin. people profiting from scams deserve to lose everything including freedom
