Dude same, I actually bought a couple packs because of him. He just makes it sound so good, and the amount of stuff ive learned that's translated into my pokemon collecting has been insane
Story time! I went on a trip to San Antonio, Texas for band when I was in 8th grade, right around the time when Urza's Saga came out in 1998. The hotel we stayed at was attached to a shopping mall. My brother and I and a couple of his friends wandered around the mall until we eventually found a Babbages (now known as GameStop). We all went in to browse for video games, but I quickly noticed that they had some MTG product on the back wall of the store. In those days, the Tournament/Starter decks were all the rage, so I was excited to pick one up for $9.99+Tax using the money my parents had given me. It was at that moment that I noticed they had 4 sealed boxes of the Tournament Decks sitting on the bottom shelf. One box had a small white sticker on the side of it that read, "$9.99". In my mind, I was like, "Holy crap, wouldn't it be awesome if they sold me this box for 10 bucks!? Worst case scenario, they tell me that is the price per deck and I put it back." I walked up to the register, and this guy with long black hair, tattoos and a tongue piercing (who I assumed was in the MTG crowd) asked, "You want the whole box?" Immediately, my heart sank because I knew I wasn't getting the $9.99 price. With less excitement I said, "Yeah, I think so." He scanned the box and then said the most beautiful words I'd ever heard, despite his quite noticeable lisp, "That comes to $10.76". At that point, I reached my hand into my pocket, shaking. I pulled out my wallet and put 11 bucks on the desk, completely unable to speak. I grabbed the bag and my receipt and practically ran out of the store. My brother and his friends were still looking at video games and noticed me bolt out of the store, wondering if something was wrong. I showed them what I bought and what I'd just paid. They each went in and bought the remaining 3 boxes at the incredible low price of "Ten Theventy Thicth," words and I can still hear clearly in my mind 18 years later. We went back to the hotel room and opened every deck, laughing the entire time. That is by far my best MTG moment....good times...
It's a nice business plan to make video's to entertain and inform, and at the same time advertise and show you are legit. Win-win! Keep on doing your thing, Rudy!
No matter how boring you might have thought this video was I actually found it rather enjoyable to watch, its just interesting to sit down and puzzle out how all the product varries and honestly you probably saved thousands for some investors or even casuals. Grazie!
Rudy, i love what youre doing in this channel. This is EXACTLY the content i've never gotten from any other mtg channel and it is awesome. I learn so much from everything you show. Please keep educating us and reinforcing this community with the exposed unique knowledge you have.
Longtime sub here. This is one of my fav videos he has done. It is full of valuable information that you would never find anywhere else. Rudy, look to this vid as a template for your work, well done!
thanks for helping clear up Jeremy's problem. I could tell from how easy the packs opened something was off, as I remember cracking them back in the day. this info is gold!
I just watched this entire video, and I don't even play Magic nor do I have any interest in doing so (though I do seem to watch a lot of MTG on TH-cam...). I think this is a testament to how great of a presenter you are!
Always happy to hear any details that make me more informed. I would not have thought twice to watch a 2 hour video on this general topic or any other "PSA" you might unload your brain droppings on. 😜👍🏻
seriously, one of the best videos about MTG I've seen. thank you for sharing information not many of us would have been able to ever get a hold of otherwise. appreciate it a lot!
you are mr. nasty good..XD 35 days and your channel is expanding congrats on that. I recently started magic and between your channel, tolorian, mana source, and others I have learned a lot. I want to personally thank you for doing these videos and showing and teaching the investment side of mtg. keep it going.
Extremely important and informative. Videos like this are why I subscribed. A+ material, Rudy... Also, your childhood games are my childhood games. 90's gaming bros 4 lyfe.
I really enjoy these types of videos it's very educational. Like you said no one else is talking about this topic. I'm looking forward to the individual booster/starter deck video. I'd love to learn more about these things even though I don't invest in sealed product. It's just really good to know
The more you know. Very informative, nice. :D Great reference piece for anybody looking to buy sealed, something no other channel has really looked into or had the ability to do so I'd presume. MTGHQ... The more counterfeit product he takes out of the market the better. His crappy click bait crap drums up all kind of interest in what not to do. Congrats on 25k subs A.I
Awesome informational vid, I'm loving everything you put up man, this is interesting stuff! Seeing all those old boxes there, I mean, I love opening packs, its one of the best things in the game. I would simply love to crack open an old, old booster. Call it a shitty dream, but opening an alpha pack would be amazing.
This was the 1st Alpha Investments video I watched. There is nothing quite like it on the internet. I want this guy to talk more about counterfeits & the dark side of MTG. I can see where he might of thought this content was boring, but I think its ORIGINAL. More of this please. Its really interesting.
I enjoy your videos Rudy - I have some recommendations for future videos like this one. For clarity sake I think it's important to mention the seals of the most current boxes(all full seals) before the old. The reason for this is that I think there's a different, larger market of people that buy new product. For me I was worried for half the video about the state of a theros box, before you mentioned around the 16:00 minute mark that after world wake their is a seal standard. You're doing great with these videos, keep it up!
good video. thanks for my dak got here in 3days. thanks rudy. my area doesn't open enough product so I needed to online purchase one. I watch your videos so to support you and your channel I bought it from you
Love your videos. Its great to get some excellent perspective and information. I have recently started collecting sealed product and this was very helpful.
You're the man, Rudy. Glad somebody elaborated on the topic; counterfeiting is way more prevalent than players think, but it seems like nobody wants to acknowledge it. You insinuated that it was boring material, but I'd love to see more of this kind of shit.
like Tolerian academy you give old school flavor. I had and sold my unlimited set in 1998 paid bills. quit playing when they took lighting bolt away from type2. came back to the game in rise of edrazi set . nice to listen to reason when you come full circle back to nostalgic thoughts that have a meaningful content. thanks for putting a smile on my face 😂 from Oregon go magic!
awesome vid, ty so much man. this is what I am talking about, mtg info off the beaten path. I've already got all my mtg friends watching your vids. gj Rudy.
Great channel ! To me, you're like an expert. I really like it, you get really deep into this game, keep on doing videos ! I am sure you will recieve lots of subscribers :)
Rudy, i find you as well as your videos intriguing. You are putting content and info that i think just wouldn't occur to most content posting outlets. You seem like the kind of guy that we could sit and bs about magic for hours and never get bored... You have a truly niche channel and im glad i got to be here from the beginning, im excited to see where you take your channel in the future, as i know its nowhere but up :) .. So without fan-girling out too much harder, thank you for taking the time to make these videos, thank you for giving us a look into your life, and your method. I think your videos are so good because you are sharing something that you are truly passionate about, and it comes through in your final product. Heres to the future, and whatever it may hold! --Chris, an avid mtg fan ps.. are you going to do the prerelease the 16Th? im quite excited :)
thanks so much for the kindness Chris, yes many Eldritch moon videos coming, and i have a LOT of crazy things coming in the future...im just getting started :-)
i found this to be an extremely entertaining and pertinent video i am infatuated with old sealed product you are quite informative i might just subscribe to you rudy
Thanks for the post. Your competency surrounding MTG is astounding. I was wondering if you've ever thought about applying quantitative models to individual card prices, or if there is even enough data to do so.
I have, but individual cards beside original A/B/U anti/Leg/Arab most cards do not arouse me, and i would not find the time invested to be worth the potential reward, and i do not feel i could conclude with a high certainty the direction of any new card :-)
Rudy.. I am eating up your videos like Oliver Twist eating up soup! they can't be long enough and there can't be enough of them.. keep em coming!!!! I'm on constant refresh over here waiting for the next one!!!
Even though this video might tip the hand to forgers as to what pros really look for, I'm glad someone is getting this information out to normal people in a clear, succinct way. I'm by no means an investor. I find your videos fascinating, but the truth is that, for me, they're not all that useful (but please take this as a roundabout compliment given that I still subscribed to your channel because of the quality of the content). Videos like this, on the other hand, are useful to both investors and normal players alike, something which is absolutely commendable.
literally i love your vids man so freaking good!!!!! so informative and you are very punctual. You seem like a cool guy to grab a beer with!!!! Subbing and watching every vid!!!!
Been following you the last few months. AMAZING CHANNEL. And yes... IT WAS DESTINY. URZA"S DESTINY . Destiny packs are TIGHT. Thanks for the insight Just getting back into MTG. Now that Iam older and never owned a video game console after the PS2, I have an old nostalgia itch from my past. However brief it was. Antiquities, Unlimited, revised (only when Unlimited cards in NM aren't available) Alliances, and all 3 URZA's blocks are what I've been fondest of. Old cards. I wasn't around at the beginning. I quit MTG in 2000 after only playing in 6th grade bc i was too young to appreciate or really just understand the game. Only had like 2 friends that played it. Just getting back into it at age 29 as of 12/17/18. 4 days till I turn 30 XD. I've bought strictly reserve list singles from Card Kingdom, only in NM condition, and then booster packs of Alliance's and URZA's blocks from only established sellers on ebay. Ive been on ebay for over a decade, so quite attune on how to choose the right sellers. So far, every pack passes the eye test after a good WIGGLE AND TIGGLE. YES , I SAID WIGGLE AND TIGGLE.... Thanks for the term Rudy ; ) If they were repacked all this time when I go to sell them in 20+ years, so be it. I got them lying flat in Ziplock bags and stored in a cool dark place. People want the sealed product. You'll have it all - and ill have a LONG LIVE THE RESERVE LIST!! and S.W.A.G: Silver , Wine, Art, Gold... Not a wine drinker but its about tangible wealthy... and a little thing called: blockchain . IT IS why 5G is being ushered in. Giggity!
I must say Rudy, sometimes you sound a bit cocky, but I always thought it came with the character and I think it's part of the charm. I do appreciate your take on this side of the magic business that we don't hear a lot about. I like your style and I your content is very interesting, keep up the good work and I look forward to you next videos !
I just rewatched Jeremy's video after you talked about the sealed. It looked like a circle sealed when you see him remove the seal from the left end of the box.
Insightful stuff. I recently purchased a booster box from a different TCG. Sadly I notified the seller the box was resealed. Considering it was $1200, it hurts. Thankfully I got my money back but for some they don't check and months or years later its too late.
Saga also has two distinct print styles, both a light, and dark version. It is most obvious when you look at green, blue, and red cards. I'll see a playset of something and oftentimes they'll have different vibrantness. Very obvious at that point.
Hey Mr. Nasty, it'd be cool to see a tampered box side-by-side to a legit box to really impact this video's lesson into the brains of the picture-oriented-learning folks like myself. Perhaps in your 'wall of shame' video.
Jeremy had the elliptic seal and the wrapper was thicker and looser, plus he had cut bar code as you already spotted. From what you showed us about the cut bar code, seems it's the wrong wrapper and that should've alarmed him that the box had been tempered with. Unfortunately Jeremy doesn't have your experience with these older boxes.
Yeah man I totally agree with you that the big guys are trying to keep some of this shit a secret just so people feel like they can only be safe by buying boxes from them. Basically make you pay an extra whatever percentage just to feel safe. Thanks for the video very informative
Dude, you really need to make some kind of catalogue for each edition how they are sealed. Would be a great reference for everybody who wants to buy old boxes!
I think you are doing pretty good, best video from you to date. I also want to know about mapping and any thoughts of being flooded with fake prints and the chances of them being generally accepted.
I don't even care about investing in magic but just the way he talks and the knowledge he has is so amazing to listen to.
Dude same, I actually bought a couple packs because of him. He just makes it sound so good, and the amount of stuff ive learned that's translated into my pokemon collecting has been insane

Another great informative video Rudy. Good looking out for the people and educating them/us.
Always appreciated Rudy! Thank you for passing on your knowledge!
I'm glad that you took the time to explain to folks and educate them how to see a tampered with box vs and factory sealed box.

Front Row Seat to hose town. When should I expect one of those Rudy approved boxes to appear up here in Milwaukee? :)
Shameless
Wouldn't be a good return on his investment if he handed them out for free ;)
+John Deckard Yes he would in a form of so called shoutout
Jeez guys I believe Rudy and Jeremy are friends. Chillax
Yeees Rudy, I've got the perfect set in mind for you to send HQ.. Unglued!! #RudyApproved🎩 👌😎
Good stuff Rudy, one of my favorites so far and I've watched them all.
Great video. Love the info videos. Kudos for doing your part to help the community.
This is one of the greatest MTG video's of all time if you ask me. I keep watching it every now and then for the past 4 years..
This was NOT a boring video Rudy; very informative and interesting.
Love your videos. Its great to get some excellent perspective and information. I have recently started collecting sealed product and this was very helpful.
good on you bro thank sooo much for the info I just watched mtg headquarters open a re sealed urza saga box last week
2021 and still a Relevant video! Info from a pro is timeless
I want to see a Xenogears strategy guide in your next video, damnit. Great video, the next Tolarian Community College right here.
You're the man, Rudy. Glad somebody elaborated on the topic; counterfeiting is way more prevalent than players think, but it seems like nobody wants to acknowledge it. You insinuated that it was boring material, but I'd love to see more of this kind of shit.

Very informative video. Thank you very much for making this! Please make more along these lines.
‘Humble beginnings’ Rudy.
Great insightful video.
Great video on sealed product! Looking forward to a video about sealed individual boosters and booster decks. Keep up the good work!
Great channel ! To me, you're like an expert. I really like it, you get really deep into this game, keep on doing videos ! I am sure you will recieve lots of subscribers :)
Great video, thank you! Appreciate your effort, really digging the channel.
Rudy, keep up the amazing work man! You are the real MVP of MTG 2016
Now that's the video I was looking for ! Thank you very much.
I think this might be the best ive seen in a long time :D Great video man!

So interesting. Really appreciate these videos. Keep up the good work.
Magic knowlege + that sweet wall street math + timmy = alpha investments :D
I love the way you compare the structure of the magic community to wall street! Really feeding my inner economist!
I appreciate this information and it's important to me to know this stuff, thanks
Here in 2020, double checking my stash. Thank you for the info.
Super informative. Ty Rudy.
This video drew me in, like you were telling a story, awesome video
This is truly one of the best video on this topic 👍
Love listening to an expert talk on their subject :) HZ
Thanks for the phenomenal information, Mister Nasty.
thank you for the advice. It is great to hear that.
Thank u for the sealed product information sir... Mostly for urza block...
Thanks for the post. Your competency surrounding MTG is astounding. I was wondering if you've ever thought about applying quantitative models to individual card prices, or if there is even enough data to do so.
I have, but individual cards beside original A/B/U anti/Leg/Arab most cards do not arouse me, and i would not find the time invested to be worth the potential reward, and i do not feel i could conclude with a high certainty the direction of any new card :-)
Excellent video we need more awareness videos to spot fakes. Thank you.
Rudy.. I am eating up your videos like Oliver Twist eating up soup! they can't be long enough and there can't be enough of them.. keep em coming!!!! I'm on constant refresh over here waiting for the next one!!!
Great video, thanks so much for posting!
Great video, thanks Rudy!
Great video. Cant wait to see more like it.
Thank u for the parisite eve reference sir and the ursa block.. My childhood.. Lol
Ad for Card Kingdom pops up right when he is talking about the big companies putting fear in the individual consumer. :)
Very important information. Thanks for sharing.
Even though this video might tip the hand to forgers as to what pros really look for, I'm glad someone is getting this information out to normal people in a clear, succinct way. I'm by no means an investor. I find your videos fascinating, but the truth is that, for me, they're not all that useful (but please take this as a roundabout compliment given that I still subscribed to your channel because of the quality of the content). Videos like this, on the other hand, are useful to both investors and normal players alike, something which is absolutely commendable.
Great video, keep the content coming!
I think this needed to be said and demonstrated!
literally i love your vids man so freaking good!!!!! so informative and you are very punctual. You seem like a cool guy to grab a beer with!!!! Subbing and watching every vid!!!!
Been following you the last few months. AMAZING CHANNEL. And yes... IT WAS DESTINY. URZA"S DESTINY
. Destiny packs are TIGHT. Thanks for the insight
Just getting back into MTG. Now that Iam older and never owned a video game console after the PS2, I have an old nostalgia itch from my past. However brief it was.
Antiquities, Unlimited, revised (only when Unlimited cards in NM aren't available) Alliances, and all 3 URZA's blocks are what I've been fondest of. Old cards. I wasn't around at the beginning. I quit MTG in 2000 after only playing in 6th grade bc i was too young to appreciate or really just understand the game. Only had like 2 friends that played it. Just getting back into it at age 29 as of 12/17/18. 4 days till I turn 30 XD.
I've bought strictly reserve list singles from Card Kingdom, only in NM condition, and then booster packs of Alliance's and URZA's blocks from only established sellers on ebay. Ive been on ebay for over a decade, so quite attune on how to choose the right sellers. So far, every pack passes the eye test after a good WIGGLE AND TIGGLE. YES , I SAID WIGGLE AND TIGGLE.... Thanks for the term Rudy ; ) If they were repacked all this time when I go to sell them in 20+ years, so be it. I got them lying flat in Ziplock bags and stored in a cool dark place. People want the sealed product. You'll have it all - and ill have a
LONG LIVE THE RESERVE LIST!! and S.W.A.G:
Silver , Wine, Art, Gold... Not a wine drinker but its about tangible wealthy... and a little thing called: blockchain . IT IS why 5G is being ushered in. Giggity!
I must say Rudy, sometimes you sound a bit cocky, but I always thought it came with the character and I think it's part of the charm. I do appreciate your take on this side of the magic business that we don't hear a lot about. I like your style and I your content is very interesting, keep up the good work and I look forward to you next videos !
I don't even play mtg anymore, or plan on investing, but you're very entertaining. Keep it up man.
I just noticed that Green Day, Dookie cd back there. Second best Green Day album ever, after Kerplunk.
I actually learned something today about older vs newer sealed boxes Rudy! 😅 ...
I just rewatched Jeremy's video after you talked about the sealed. It looked like a circle sealed when you see him remove the seal from the left end of the box.
Insightful stuff. I recently purchased a booster box from a different TCG. Sadly I notified the seller the box was resealed. Considering it was $1200, it hurts. Thankfully I got my money back but for some they don't check and months or years later its too late.
This WAS an exciting video!
Loved this video! Please make more!
Not boring at all ! is really interesting what to look and beware of when buying booster box!
Saga also has two distinct print styles, both a light, and dark version. It is most obvious when you look at green, blue, and red cards. I'll see a playset of something and oftentimes they'll have different vibrantness. Very obvious at that point.
This is one of your best videos yet. Would you ever consider compiling and releasing the actual data you have on weights/thicknesses/transmittance?
Hey Mr. Nasty, it'd be cool to see a tampered box side-by-side to a legit box to really impact this video's lesson into the brains of the picture-oriented-learning folks like myself.
Perhaps in your 'wall of shame' video.
lol, hey Jeff, i currently do not have any re-sealed boxes in my possession but i would love to do a side-by-side
You are very knowledgeable.
Jeremy had the elliptic seal and the wrapper was thicker and looser, plus he had cut bar code as you already spotted. From what you showed us about the cut bar code, seems it's the wrong wrapper and that should've alarmed him that the box had been tempered with. Unfortunately Jeremy doesn't have your experience with these older boxes.
I like this kind of info, love the video
shoutout to the parasite eve guide. favorite square game ever
thanks Peter :-)
Rudy...you will hit 40k subs in no time.....I love your content.
Great game that Parasite Eve.
I still have the complete game AND that original walkthrough guidebook.
Awsome video thanks man!
I liked this, it was really genuine.
I didn't find this dull at all! Very informative. Have you thought about making a .doc or a PDF so people can have a reference?
Yeah man I totally agree with you that the big guys are trying to keep some of this shit a secret just so people feel like they can only be safe by buying boxes from them. Basically make you pay an extra whatever percentage just to feel safe. Thanks for the video very informative
Great video. I like your channel and your content keep it up.
Dude, you really need to make some kind of catalogue for each edition how they are sealed. Would be a great reference for everybody who wants to buy old boxes!
Thanks for the video buddy. I appreciate it. It was pretty cool though I'll never buy any of those boxes. Haha 😂
I think you are doing pretty good, best video from you to date. I also want to know about mapping and any thoughts of being flooded with fake prints and the chances of them being generally accepted.
