    I only just learned about you like 2 days ago because I was talking with someone about maybe wanting to collect Weiss cards and someone linked me one of your box openings. And I enjoyed it. And I went looking at more of your videos. And I got talking with those people about maybe thinking about "investing" in Weiss sets, as I have never done something like that before and they linked me more of your videos. I was also just looking through your videos myself and really enjoyed all of them as you come off like a real human being and not some TH-cam shill only wanting more and more views. Anyway, I was now brought to this video and I have to say, I now really see something nice in you. As I said, you seem to be a real, genuine human and that's all I want from people. Not some fake corporate crap talk where they think they are high and mighty and everyone should listen to them.

  • @berbinex
    @berbinex 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hello Rudy.
    From all your videos this was the one i enjoyed the most by far. We live in a society where people cash in on social media by showing off beauty, or status, or money, or luck, etc.
    Its like nobody gets real anymore.
    I feel like the majority of folks really never experienced what being "in the trenches" is like. Most people just had a 9 to 5 job their whole life (which is perfectly okay and what i have these days too), but they just dont know what is like to be in an entrepreneur position where you are the engine, the driver, and the wheels, and building something plus keeping it going through your own effort and wits.
    I feel like that experience is mostly not valued by society at all.
    I was forced to take care of a company that was going under, for around 1 year. I was literally thrown into the frying pan out of nowhere. Many times i was in a bad situation due to completely unforeseen and random events that escaped my control. And then suddenly there were no good options, just some "less bad" ones that sometimes kept me awake at night, all to keep the company going, even if barely.
    I left the company in the same state as it was when i picked it up, in a generally dying business where most of the competitors where going bankrupt, so i guess i did okay. The company went under like a year and half later.
    Thanks for showing us what reality is like, and that no matter how smart or knowledgeable you are, and even if you do everything right, somethimes shit just happens.
    PS: There's a bridge near my house if homeless rudy needs shelter then we can talk about MTG and i'll buy you a burger once in a while if u hungry so consider it, i'll even let u touch my timmy when you eat ur burger and give you a 5 rudy bill.

    Amazing video, i live in lebanon and run a company. In 2019 banks took all the money that was in the banks and completly froze it, for corporates and public accounts, our company lost a much bigger number then ur bonds ( basically our government hand in hand with our banks stole the whole population) bigger ponzy scheme in the history of mankind. Hearing you talking about life and how it can surprise u is so relatable. Any plan u have or make or percentages you think you know, one event can change all that. Now 2 years later we are strongly stabilising as a company althought the money is still frozen and i dnt think we will ever get it back. For me its gone and i have to live my life accepting this and if it comes back then its great. This also shaped me to be much stronger, to get out of a this negative way of thinking and i am no longer scared and anxious like i used to be cause i lost it all and life went on. Thank you for the video it really made my day i just got into magic the gathering physical cards 2 months ago played it for a long time online. im super later but i just love the game so much, never thought there was a community in lebanon but i did find one.

The ease that my life looks today verse the hell it took to get here. There is no words . The risks that in hindsight look smart or dumb verse the reward of a simple life with no risk. Sometimes the path is not clear but for those FEW of us who choose to sack up and take a shot at glory I say hats off to you . And yes luck was most certainly involved but you have to show up and take the hits for the luck to happen. Luck doesn’t come to you whilst you lay in bed watching soaps.

    Hi Rudy, just casually watching your older videos and I gotta say, I'm rather happy to hear you come in on these subjects. I had a bit of a punch in the gut myself this year, January/February I took a massive hit in my own stock portfolio, and I ended up panicking and selling a bunch of good stock because they dropped like crazy. I didn't stick to my plan and let a fluke in the prices influence my emotions, so now im 17% down for the year and slowly working my way back up. It's a difficult journey and it is not very comforting looking at the fact that its still in the red every single day. But like you, I have diversed my money into a collectible, you being cardboard me being flat pieces of metal (old coins) and I have my eyes on a few other areas as well for good measure. Nothing left to do but wait for the market to take its course, and work on different investments in the mean time.

    Rudy, I know it's tough to share some of your mistakes, but you gotta know some of us really appreciate it. It's motivation, and it gives a different perspective to look at the "negative". You have an amazing story, and it just goes to show that you are just a regular human who has made mistakes. Nothing works out perfectly, and sometimes we need to be reminded of that to progress into something greater than what we are today. Thank you, I totally respect what you do, and who you are. We should all be proud of our gains, and losses bc it's all a part of our life journey.

    Thank you, Rudy, for sharing this. People making big money usually talk about how much money they made on their best trades, not how much they lost on their way. It's uplifting to have somebody talk about how it all can go tits up in a matter of months, days, or hours.

    I never comment and this is probably the first time, but I have to say I found a deep respect for you after watching this video Rudy. Your level of honesty in sharing the really tough times is very valuable for many people. I have a fairly similar story. Its been really tough and a learning experience that I can sense will make me stronger, even though the pain is still very present.
    Anyway, just a thank you for opening up and being honest about this. We are humans and we unavoidably struggle at times. Telling others help a lot, us and them. I'll watch some more of your videos, keep up the good work

    Hey Rudy, love your channel and ESPECIALLY love this type of content. I've been in and out of Magic since nearly the beginning (1994). What you went through years ago, some people are going through today and others will go through in the future (me included). This type of sharing gives hope to those people during their dark days...win, lose or draw. To keep getting up after you get knocked down is a great mantra.

    I got really into beanie babies (because I love stuffed animals, but my mom is a wheeler and dealer so she encouraged me). And watching that collapse taught me rule one of any speculation market. Something is only worth what someone will pay for it. Anyone buying cards to flip down the line, that cardboard is worthless until you find a buyer. It took me three years to flip my The Abyss. None of my local stores wanted to touch it. It was too steep of a buy in.
