    nothing makes me laugh harder than Rudy saying, "Hey! thats like a $20 card" or "You can sell that empty box" - the guy spent $10K and Rudy is comforting him with $20 cards and empty boxes lol

    Haha I have been reading comments and I am the one opening the box. It is seriously a bad investment to open something like this and I knew that long before I got to the table. I live and breath magic so I was definitely paying for the experience. This is a MTG nerds Disneyland in a sense, I paid a lot of money for a fun experience I may never get to do again but at least I have a ton of NM gradable antiquities cards that in the very long term will hopefully balance out the investment. Thanks Rudy for recording. He definitely seduced me with his floppy taco and yes my **** is in fact holding that table up the entire time to answer just a few of the questions and comments below!

Rudy musta green screened him, that's why no one noticed he was there. Well played Rudy

    But for me back then , it was only way to go about it.. give all away at once , stop spending and start saving for kids. About the same time , i stopped the gambling addiction as well.

      It’s actually becoming more accepted to not use gloves because you can actually damage them more with gloves on. You can’t feel the cards and have more of a risk of corner damage and edge damage as well as other damage too. Antique books industry and comic book industry are using gloves less because of that too.

      It was the second expansion set for Magic, came out in early 1994. There were very very few boxes printed, and they were scare even back than. It's just the sheer rarity of the sealed product that makes it worth that much. Probably less than 100 boxes left sealed in the world right now. The cards inside that he pulled are worth maybe $2000-$3000 total. He knew it would be a loss going into it. Just did it for the thrill.
