Timmy investing in a nutshell. Buys a lot of crap over the years, then needs money quick and realises that it's too much work to sell all that garbage individually and sells to Don Rudy for 50%
-$10k with a smile!
To be fair, it’s closer to 60/70%, besides the exaggerated numbers you’re practically correct. That being said, having access to that kind of liquidity when life kicks you in the balls can come in clutch. I’d say he got about 80ish to 70% of his money back, depending on how good of a deal he got on these boxes. I’d say Rudy “wins” in these situations, but he doesn’t really sell any of it. All in all I hope the seller was able to get the cash needed to get him/3% her situation. Hopefully it was a house buying situation and not a medical emergency, I think we can all agree to that.
@@FamousJX You know what's really liquid when I need liquidity? My index funds and monkey market account, you know, actual investments not children's game pieces lol.
remember metazoo lmao
@@NN-pe6ip With all do respect, why are you here? There are other Content creators. We all have our real state investments, stocks, bonds, Roth IRAs, and mutual funds, even some crypto and precious metals. Your point quite literally has no merit. It’s undeniable that those options exist, however we choose do diversify in this way because we think it’s fun, different, and nostalgic. Some people relate better with collectables and nerd media than other “investment” options. To argue anything, would simply be stating the obvious, (place all investment funds into the s&p 500 and wait 10/20/50 years). It’s a sure thing.
Oh snap Rudy hit 370K after being stuck at 369K for a long ass time. Pretty bullish honestly
Buy in now before the rush. Easy money has already been made
Still don’t understand how he has less than tolarian
@@Reformed322 timmies
for 7 or 8 years now rudys content hasnt changed whatsoever meanwhile tolarian has more diversified and casual friendly channel, im honestly suprised rudy got to almost 400k by just screaming about inked cardboard for 8y
just wait it out and buy the dip.
Unless MTG investors buy into grading cards these boxes will never appreciate at a fast enough rate. That is why pokemon does so great. They dont over print and the player base is obsessed with grading cards.
Exactly
That is because no one actually cares about playing their pokemon cards, they are almost exclusively for wall art.
And everybody said Streets of New Capenna was worth sh*t and ... It's still worth sh*t.
Won't be forever though!
Jokes on you i bought 2 new capenna draft pack for 3.33 each and pulled Xander's Lounge and Otawara Soaring City a few days ago. I will never have luck like this again
@@nobodyxiii3792 how did you pull Otawara from SNC draft?
@@EastToWestTCG brainfart both packs were 3.33 each. I got 1 draft new capenna & 1 draft neon dynasty both had good land pulls
Those beautiful Khans of Tarkir boxes
STAY THE COURSE….!!!! Shot Ruby! I’ve been collecting sealed boxes since I first started watching your videos in ‘17. I now have over 30 sealed boxes, some reserve list cards, duels, and four horsemen. I love this hobby, and I love your videos! Keep up the good work bro 🤩🙏 Much respect from New Zealand 🫡
How have things worked out for you? Is it worth holding? How much are they worth now since when you initially bought them?
Some things have gone down, but mostly up. I think of Aether Revolt as a god example of up. SOI is another good one 😊
First rule of reselling- you don't make top dollar selling as a lot. Some ppl crazy about certain sets and you make money selling individually. Sealed isn't worthless if selling one by one
Sold time spiral for $189 I believe...
Is that $189.00 shipped?
@@MTG69 it was $567/3 boxes shipped. I believe Rudy only offered a 3 box option, but can't remember exactly.
Give it 3 years, and this stuff is booming again
No, most likely not
I know very little about mtg but it's interesting that the two most expensive Collector boosters in this video are collaborations with other well-known IPs (speaking on Fallout and LotR). glad I was able to get a little bit of those two sets.
Anyone waiting for the vid where Rudy's son decides to get back at his dad by ripping open all his sealed and swimming in packs like Uncle Scrooge, ripping packs and flip and ripping rares, then uploads a epic vid documenting it? And then the channel just goes quiet and is just an artifact of time, I'm kinda here for that.
😂
WHY??? LOL
I could watch Rudy walk around talking about cards all day.
I can watch it for 15:32
@@ThisHandleIsNotAvailable. I didn't make it through the whole thing...
@@RealSB Google Analytics says I watched 9 minutes.
He's got that radio voice.
Imagine you are a casual player, wanting to get your hands on a new set (like LOTR Mordor Commander Deck) and its sold out after a few days and you dont get to play the cards. And then there are guys like this ... kinda makes me sick tbh, its a card game ...
Time Spiral Remastered was $189 per box in March 2021
Yo
How is limiting print runs and turning what was slowly returning to it's origins as a card game back into a speculation market for people with too much money and not enough brain a good thing?
If it's worthless, send it to me. I'll dispose of it.
If you don't own a warehouse like Rudy where do you store all of this stuff? My "dungeon" is getting full lol
Closet, safe, under the bed, etc
I keep a lot of my stock at my girlfriend's boyfriend's house. Very nifty.
@@KrepsyK I currently have 2 closets full of video games and collectibles and my extra room aka "dungeon" is getting there
3rd floor bathroom
Don't forget to flatten your boxes. The cards are already flat, you're mostly storing air if you don't!
1:20 my little yellow baby. Love that damn set, man. Thank you Rudy for picking her up and zooming!
Thats a I just back into magic collection. I literally have the same collection nearby. Except I collect set boosters with anything that has them available.
Finally a video title that makes sense
Engaging in things that don't feel good. Like my quest for 100 alpha living walls. I'm at 87, it's hard, it's not fun anymore, but I still buy them.
Commander Legends what a fun vibe that set was
This must have been a bruuuuuutal loss.
When you look at base ball cards in the 40's 50's 60' and what the midle is for all cards now over printed over priced doomed to fail
That's a nice collection of boxes. A bit of everything, makes up for a nice display still.
Love you rudy. God bless you!!!❤❤❤❤
I miss VIP double masters openings
We just did a master case opening on my drip channel
That's the least beat up pallet jack I've ever seen.
Can someone please give me a legitimate site that sells booster boxes for decent prices? I’m tired of Amazon sending opened and resealed packs with no rares.
Nice vid :) enjoyed the sincerity Mr. Taco Tuesday
Nooooooo
No way the collector didnt lose money on this sale. None of those boxes have done more than 30 percent gains. Most 30 percent losses. Rudy pays 69 cents on the dollar dor collections
No shit? People don't sell collections in full for profit, genius.
@@CGoody564 who said its someones full collection? People sell at profit all the time?
@@skrufy11 He stated that it's from a collection buyout like 20 seconds into the video.
His collection overstock prolly
@@skrufy11 it was a collection buyout, he literally says so. BuyOUT, meaning buying everything. You really have no idea what you're talking about. Otherwise, this would just be a typical purchase. This isn't a collectors overstock.
People sell their collections at a loss when they have financial issues, or at an estate sale/auction after one passes away. No one sells collections for profit UNLESS they're complete, or there is something significantly special about it that sets it apart from a typical collection.
Love seeing random assortments of sealed booster boxes, looks cool and reminds you of the history
Thoughts on Strixhaven? Really got me back into MTG after a solid 15+ years.
I like the set. Many of the cards work best in a sealed environment but there's a few commander cards. It has some interesting color pie bending cards too.
It's fun as hell to draft, I bought a couple cases and my draft group rips a box every 6 months. It's Harry Potter in MTG!
Shit flavour cool cards
love the scroll card arts. bought all of them. including replacing all y demonic tutors. those arts are so fire
Amazing,this is like my collection but smaller and without all the vintage box m,i love it! Thanks for sharing Rudy!
Don’t tell me this is true!!!!!!😮😢
when these are worthless, send me some displays :)
Hey Rudy!
I've a few boxes of OG Ixalan and Eternal Masters. What do you think about those products? I believe i never heard you talk about it.
Love Tarkir :)
Rudy Review: Good prices, fast shipping. A++ Patreon seller!
Too bad there were no comments about the Unfinity box. That is a story of a set that went to crap. Although, I do not think that anyone had much hope in it even though the Galaxy Foil shock lands were supposed to save it.
Paradoxically ,it probably would have sold more if they just made all the cards silver boarder except the basics and shocks. At least the whole fiasco with stickers and attractions wouldn't have been a thing.
No Urzas?
Great collection, wish the seller could have held on to them a little longer.
Omg I love cardboard!!!!
Welcome!
We are in a full on collapse , so ALL cards are going to tank . Those collectable one off cards you think are worth thousands , unopened boxes etc etc are also going to tank big time .
Thanks for the Baldur's Gate rip😅
Didn’t speak of Thrones of Eldraine? Why?
Sealed Metazoo is...
Hey rudy, just wanted to let you know that all shipping info should be covered either digitally or physically (not blurred). This is including any barcodes / qr codes as they hold A LOT of personal information for both sender and receiver.
What I don’t understand about people like Rudy, and whoever else, who purchase extremely old sealed products, are you sure it’s going to sell? Like, I understand mtg is insanely volatile and speculative when it comes to collecting to invest, but who actually WANTS these? Like 99% of the cards in those boxes, total, are worthless except for maybe Pauper. Idk, maybe me?
Feel like people who buy the older sets want the opening experience of that set for whatever personal reason . Or keep it sealed and display as a capture of time. Each set has its own story to tell as far as what everyone thought at the time or so and so pulled serialized card that one time. It’s a memory to have and maybe open one day or if some emergency happens and need quick cash can sell to friend or throw online. Having an asset on hand typically earning $$$ over time is better than having cash in the bank and losing to debasement and inflation. NOT financial advice 😂
People enjoy drafting old sets. You get a whole night to experience the set by drafting and playing and you get to keep the cards for your collection. Think about drafting even a $500 box with 7 other friends. Thats $62.50 for a whole night of entertainment. Thats still cheaper than going out for drinks at a bar.
Nostalgia combined with a unique limited draft format. A box of Tempest Exodus Mirage all around 2K a box, imagine drafting that with your friends- the experience itself is priceless forget the cards individual value we are going back to 1997!
Its you.
he's hoping some mtg fan billionaire will buy his stuff one day
Yeah, it's worthless send it my way
Just here to agree they are worthless. Was looking at prices today on products I used to hold before I switched t Pokemon. It is wild how many booster boxes now sell below $100. Dead investment.
Cheaper cards is good for players. I hope the speculators stay in Pokemon
If anyone wants to unload a sealed lot like from the beginning of the video shoot me a message, I'll buy everything you have.
Sealed is worthless when you make bad choices of course. No brainer.
I love these types of videos.
Kept waiting for him to address the title… I still have no idea how it’s relevant
Throughout and at the end of the video he addresses it in subtextual language. Basically, buying and selling sealed product for profit, especially en masse, is not advisable because it's difficult and unpredictable.
This sounds like you're having a terrible time. This whole video sounds is filled unhappiness.
Not sure what I was supposed to takeaway from this other than I don't want to play this game (the market, not the tcg).
12:00 sadly, I think this is just the result of working with customer service in almost any industry: tourism, service industry, etc…. And why they have so much turnover: it’s stressful and exhausting to deal with people =\
Would love to hear your input on some digimon products! ❤
Makes no sense to be how sum of the best sets didnt take off like u said,dom rastered,dom united,crimson vow,midnight hunt,love all these sets n i bought alot of these sets,cuz i liked them even if orhers didnt.
Its not a collection. It's hoarding with no clear goal.
Just curious why dont you do yugioh?
He doesn't trust bandai
@@KrepsyKYu-Gi-Oh is Konami
You guys. Just. Buy. Something.
This is why collecting cards fails in 2024 the model changed
I collect for mostly the love of the game,but if honest i do also collect for the value of cards,in whicj wotc seem to kill tat wit every reprint.
Sealed Taco's are worthless
That fallout cb shrink wrap looks sus.
Rudy's the 🐐 GOAT😅
So more than $10k of stuff on the table vs. $10k in Reserved List cards? What would be better investment?
Both
A lot of boxes have invert EV right now.
Good opportunity to buy into some 2010-2017s
its people like u that are ez to get got bc u think negative ev boxes means its gonna have more value in the future its just not how it works if the cards inside are worthless so is the box
@@RLGMiniMe it would seem the implication was to buy and crack the box to open more value than one spent on it, then sell the singles for profit... E...V... Right?
How much for the pallet jack?
if you have to ask you cant afford it
Rudy!!!! Greed Monsters, Evil Investors, and ....3.696969% Women want to know. Did the seller lose or profit from this sale?
I'm here to comment that, I've been watching Rudy's videos on and off since 2016.....when i first got into MTG.....and that he RUINED MY......ha ha, only a bad dad joke. No, I wanted to say I've been watching since 2016 and I never considered it anything more than light entertainment. If I ever spent any money, it was something that I was already looking at / or I ignored Rudy in entirity and just made my own decision.
Shout out to Flipside gaming, one of the best besides Rudy's Patron accounts.
looks like fire tinder
Time for your anti depressant medication
Khans of Tarkir to the moon!
You buried your "Sealed products are worthless" point too much. I wanted to here your argument, not look at a bunch of boxes.
Magic is used to open and play 😂😂 not the stock market 😂 yes and maybe the first boxes are worth a lot because nobody was collecting 😂
I'd love to see LOTR or Fallout to reach 1k. Be cool to see a collector box get there.
Final Fantasy will .. thats the only new set I'll be purchasing.
@@michaeledwards1644 Not a chance buddy not a chance
1:20 Rudy, it obviously went down the time spiral, duh.
Who's the colorado lgs lol
sell me the dominaria
I don't think this guy knows what 'OG' means.
About what you said at the last segment of this video Rudy, it made me realize WHY you got into the hobby of Paper Trading Card Games / Collectible Card Games and why LGSs are the way they are. It was because you wanted to learn the human psychology behind it all as much as we do.
Rudy what do you pay on the dollar for sealed
He even says 50-70% face value based off ebay sold listings
Flip side is decent
Only Timmy's say that type of stuff! ❤❤❤
Folks!
😂 Rudy buying from his patrons of hoping people buy more magic cause Rudy is a Hasbro shill
I like seeing shiny things!
He goes on ranting about something stupid then suddenly hit you with something that would make you think. Never change Rudy.
Yeah nothing too crazy. Just a dreams amount of sealed collector and set boxes.
3:20 my man just said 2020 was OG 👴 ouch
This reminds me of the diamond market. We are led to believe the cards are actually "rare" and demand high value. Meanwhile, guys like this are sitting on more than what the market even offers... cmon man... this investment into tcg's is ridiculous. Fomo because, like all collectibles, the rare ones are the ones people didn't know were going to be rare. Now they crap out box sets monthly. Quit trying to scam others because you overbought to try to get rich because you don't want a real job.
And that comment is directed at everyone who "invests" in mtg, not just this guy directly. You're all ruining this game, just like when corporate jerk offs ruin their games for the sake of profit and not entertainment.
I honestly hope everyone who invests loses their asses due to their greed.
