Paymoneywubby has opened several tampered ABU decks, got burned on the first but after that has always had a vendor that guarrentees money back, aslong as it's all on continous video with no cuts ect. If they had a proper dealer they should have taken it straight back the second they saw that hair-dryer reseal. It also helps if you do these things on stream with several people in chat that have opened tons of these before and are actual scholars on ABU card mapping ect. It not only helps with knowing wether something is real but also wether you won the 50/50 coinflip on the island rare slot vs timetwister slot ;P

    I just can never trust buying those old sealed boxes especially boosters , after I saw a friend who had his own card shop open boosters take out the rares that were good and replaced with rares that were doodoo. He did this with a razor and resealed with a heat gun. This was way back during fallen empires so I’m not sure if the booster packs are still made of the same material , he said it was time consuming but could be done were you could see no tampering.

    The smartest scammers are going to keep the card order in mind and leave a couple of good to decent cards behind in order to not make it too obvious, especially if they're trying to keep their reputation pristine. They'll earn a bit less and take more time doing so but avoid far more suspicion in the long run. Not 100% sure if this deck was a re-seal or not but from the sound of it, the deck was bought from a seemingly legitimate source.

    Can someone tell me how these people buy 30k sealed products just to open them? is it that they got it for 30% of the value or they had these for years because I don t get why you would waste 30k now when you can get probably double this in 10 years. How can they afford this basically on a regular basis?

    • @hellsng
      @hellsng 3 місяці тому

      The value placed on these sealed products almost feels like a random number pulled out of thin air, sure one collector can sell another collector a product for a high value to try and get the average joe to pay that amount but that doesn’t mean it’s actually worth that amount. It’s completely understandable, collectors want to hype the value to make their money, business is business.

    • @Beblue1337
      @Beblue1337 3 місяці тому

      the "value" of it is due to the rarity of the sealed product, not whats inside it. opening it is instant loss since the RTP is easily less than 10%
      I say "value" cause its not real, it dies out with the old people dying out and taking the nostalgia with them

      @@Beblue1337that’s a really great point. At some point in the next 10-15 years, the people that think these are super valuable will be gone and it will be up to the new generation of collectors to set the market. Without nostalgia and disposable income, the only determinant of value will be MtG’s provenance of being the first big CCG. You can never take that away from them.

    The collation is perfect on this deck, all the cards are in the correct order.
    I don't know the provenance on this deck, but if it's solid, I don't expect anybody in 2009 or prior would know what order to put the cards in.
    On top of that, the centering indicates that the cards came from the same sheet.
    Contrary to what they said in the video, the rares were on the correct side of the rulebook. I just double checked several other UA-cam opening videos, and Beta rares are on the uncommon side of the rulebook, but Alpha rares or commons in the rare slot appear on the common side of the rulebook.
    I agree with them that the inner seal looks weird.
    IF this was resealed (big IF), they just peeked at the cards and put them all back without swapping or moving anything.
    The contents of the deck are what the factory put there, the only question is whether someone along the way peeked at them.

      They're both made with a laser printer, but similarities end there.
      The Ebon Dragon is printed on paper adhered to one of the filler cards R&D regularly used for playtesting, is intended to resemble the finished product, was created for official company use before the set was released, comes directly from the set designer himself, and is autographed by them.
      You have a Black Lotus proxy, printed directly on a World Championship blank that was widely available to the public almost a decade after the last set with a Lotus, it doesn't look like any real Lotus, has the wrong font, was apparently printed by a player in Italy, not for official WotC use, not directly connected to any WotC employee, and not autographed by its creator.
      Additionally, the MIC marks show that they're not created on the same printer.
