Came to this channel expecting crazy people blowing a small fortune on cardboard, ended up finding life advice, investing and business advice, much more sensible than most stock market/crypto channels... and crazy people blowing up small fortunes on cardboard. Keep up doing the good work sir.
The rudy bathroom situation remains one of the funniest things that happened in the sealed world
Rudy living his life on that line between genius collector and degenerate hoarder
@@darlantro LOL
I just wanna see Rudy build an EDH deck
@@darlantroU the type of person to get mad at someone because they’re more successful then u. U hate on others like it’s a job that pays u. 🤡
I love the organized chaos of Rudy's backgrounds.
Rudy is unbiased, not corruptible and far enough ahead of the curve to be a little ahead of all of us, but down to earth enough through his experiences in life to still share his knowledge because he knows that it reaches a few who really learn and then start to implement it . I would like to have a relaxed, face-to-face conversation with you, that would be exciting, man. Keep it up and never let the negative people f*** up your attitude.
"It's Timmy time"
"No, Timmy, NO!!"
Rudy your 2022 S&P comments really helped me to buckle down and keep buying during that time....obviously its done pretty well....now im doubling down on sealed pokemon kthx
Post More Long Format Videos ~ I Love Sorting Cards While Listening To You Talk About MTG Finance / MTG Past / Life Stories
I vote rudy goes 10 years back and compares overall gains of s&p vs pokemon/ s&p vs magic/btc vs pokemon.. that would be extremely interesting 🤔
Pokemon/MGT have to many items to compare it.
Some items are a technical loss (missed opportunity).
Sometimes it would have been better to invest in the SPY even if you made good gains.
Some items massively outperformed the S&P.
However it aint a profit untill you sell.
I've been around for almost 10 years and you might have an item that is worth 500$ but if it doesn't sell it's not in the bank.
Thats the advantage of stocks, the high liquidity.
The benefit of collectibles atleast in my country is that it's tax free if you aint a company. (under a certain ammount).
Same go's for btc it depends on how you traded it.
I’m the first Timmy on this vid
Nice try
CONGRATULATIONS TIMMY SOMEBODY GET THIS KID A PACK OF TACOS
I’m sorry.

Thank you for your videos, it got me into collecting sealed boxes, I buy one of every new set and leave them in my wardrobe
Already love this location and background,holy crap that's awesoms,super excited for 45 mins of learning! Let"s go Rudy!!!! Thank you!!!!
It is very difficult to avoid buying into MH3. Everyone knows the Play boxes will be available and reprinted for a looong time. You will be able to trade for those mythics you want. Even if the price doubles, you WILL be able to find them. It's really difficult to predict what will double in price and what will crash to 10% of its current value. If you buy an entire set today and sell it 90 days from now, you will lose at least half your money. Probably 75%. Of course, most people buy the cards to play and have fun. That's why Magic cards are worth what they are. They're collectible and fun.
Another legendary video full of metaphors and life lessons. Sealed case collector. 💪
There’s no long term value cards, because there are hardly any new players and everyone is sitting on sealed products.
That's really interesting. Where do you get that data?
Plenty of new players every years thousands of new players get into magic
Thats why magic channels advertise hair loss products 🥲@@jordanjames8864
Didn't the NAIC Pokemon tournament last week have 2500+ players? New peak for a NA tournament?
The game is more popular than ever
Always a fun time listening to Rudy. Thanks for contributing to the community 😂🤣😭. Timmy Power!
Crown Zenith will go down as the greatest set ever. Calling it here. Amazing art. Huge variety of cards. Crazy pull rates. Even if it’s printed like crazy people will want to open it for forever
You don't understand fan favorites. It's a great set but there's absolutely 0 chance of that happening because the rarest cards aren't the fan favorites.
High end collectors want rare Charizards, Lugias, Rayquazas, Gengars, Pikachus, and Eeveelutions. The dogs are epic but they aren't rare enough. The Legendaries are awesome but they arent as rare as Secret Rare VMax alternate arts. Vmax AAs are singlehandedly the greatest chase cards Pokemon have ever placed into a standard set - ever. They are roughly 1/8 booster boxes. Less than 1 per case on average. They are over twice as rare/difficult to pull as Gold Stars.
The sets with fan favorite VMax Alternate Arts will be the ones that go down in history. That's Evolving Skies, Chilling Reign, and Fusion Strike
Battle Styles doesnt have vmax Alts of popular mons. Crown zenith Vmax/Vstar alt arts aren't secret rares and have higher pull rates.
Evolving Skies will outpace Team Up within 5 years due to the # of secret rare fan favorites. Wait and see.
@@zacharymutter8432 facts evolving skies will be the goat set. Never saw a set get talked about so much let alone the amount of high priced cards in the smallest amount of time
@@zacharymutter8432 I never said the most expensive set. I said greatest. 20 years later people will buy crownzenith, pull some good cards (even if they aren’t the rarest or most valuable) and have fun doing it. Obviously the value of the cards won’t be anywhere close to evo
It definitely won’t, it won’t even be top 3 in sword and shield. People love money more than the artwork. Evo skies, lost origin, fusion strike will be the most valuable sets. The chase for crown zenith isn’t even the best Giratina in the generation, in fact it’s not even 1/3 of the price in a PSA 10. Not to mention Crown Zenith packs were probably the easiest the general public could get their hands on from Sword and shield as it is literally in every major store in The US including cheap bulk specials in both Costco and Sam’s club, and the sets already over a year and a half old.
Appreciate the motivation Rudy, even if it wasn't intended to be that. The motivation to stay focused on my goals.
Rudy I've been watching you for years and this is one of the best videos you've made. Dead serious man. I hope this one connects with some young folks because this is really the blueprint and those of use that are even older than you know it very well.
“Drink Sparkling Water” (reconsiders as this would lead to less sealed Patreon purchases) “Drink tap water” 😂
Thanks Rudy watching you everyday my Timmi mind is no more Timming around,amazing! Stay the course people!
really nice video man just finished watching, well spoken. I'm new to the community and you seem like a genuinely cool guy. keep it up! can't wait to look back in a year or two.
“Sometimes the bulls win, and sometimes the bears win. But the bulls have more fun.”
...If you know, you know.
Bulls always come out as the one on top.😉 Is that what you are getting at?
1990 when I was in 7th grade I remember a teacher saying she wished she bought microsoft before it went way up. lmao. big lesson for me later. it was def not too late to buy microsoft in1990.
I love these videos, even after so many years on this channel I feel I still learn good advices on how to view this world.
Came for magic and stayed for everything else. Even stopped playing the game since I subscribed.
By the way Rudy, you could use BI analytics / reports on the comment sections, I've done it on my free time, its funny and you'd probably get a great use of it.
Sealed Pokémon collector vintage and modern but I bought my first Magic product today picking up an Eldrazi Incursion Commander deck for $70 from Walmart as each store only gets 1 of each and 4 Collector boosters. Planning on getting more Eldrazi when i can find them and a few Collector boosters also.
Timmy is here.
For everyone's information to help with investment comparisons, the S&P 500 has 2.8x'd since this date 10 years ago.
I don't know about Magic, but spraying money indiscriminately into Pokémon product from 2014 would've beaten that by _miles._ We're talking XY Base, Flashfire, Furious Fists etc.
Rudy from Alpha Investments, you're the ultimate Timmy and I love you.
love these vids man. new patreon and hoping to buy some awesome cards board with you in the future
Facts, sucks that I learned this info a couple of years ago, this information in your 20's must be so rewarding; still at that age most don't put this information in the priority it deserves. 🤷♂
Getting the fetch lands and shock lands down to almost precon prices is bananas. Full art madness, crazy business lol.
2:20 yeah I actually listened and bought the 3 you had up for sale and then 5 more MH3 collector boxes (4 from pfootballpete on ebay and 1 from card castle since I had about $130 in store credit) Not as good of a price as your deal from ebay due to tax, but it was pretty close... $389
its a shame kids cant get into magic very affordably anymore, like a commander deck at target costs 74 bucks!! thats pure insanity
You can get the beginner commander decks for around 20 bucks each, and the average precon is gonna be 30-45 dollars. Only a few precons are expensive.
Thankfully pauper is a relevant format and you can make a disgusting commander deck for very cheap
@@rogermandevillejr132 its very true if a kids smart about it and finds em at a local store i do agree
a chipotle burrito costs $17 so
@@FrenchToastMafia735 ohh you gettin the extra guac at those prices 🤣
We live in a time where so many people are influenced by other opinions and not enough people think for themselves Rudy!
Thank you Rudy
Fantastic video Rudy, I really enjoy your content. 😄
Some of these questions from Rudy's Patreon payers lol. You can tell they don't play any card games, haven't understood any advice about investing and are only buying for an investment. Don't get me wrong, it is not a bad thing to invest - especially in TCG/CCG, it is just funny how there must be a lot of Timmy's among them. Patreon payers give Rudy $$$ monthly to find out what is well known - time in the market beats timing the market... in Pokemon and in the S&P 500... but they will pay for Rudy to tell them over and over and over again lol. It probably still won't get through to them.
Is the only patreon sub that covers buying pokemon the legendary one? Which one would i choose if i wanted to regularly buy pokemon cases monthly?
I'm less concerned about MTG box prices being it's downfall, players have proven that they'll pay $500 for a box. Power creep is more of a threat IMO. How much more powerful can cards get before the game mechanics start breaking down and they're printing too many insta-win cards? They can adjust the prices, they can't roll back power creep if they want to sell a set.
Audacity (BRO)
When Rudy is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card.
any videos coming up on gamestop buying/selling PSA slabs?
That painting is so pretty
I think many like me would like to know did you really paint all those painting
Demograhics and fertility will become a talking point over the next year or two, if it hasn't already. You can't have infinite growth without a growing population to back it up. Even so, it will take decades before the effects really start to be felt.
@danjowithbanjoMexicans LOVE spending $400 on half a box of cards
productivity
It WILL? 😂😂
@danjowithbanjo That's one of the ways that nations have addressed that, and among other reasons, is why many G7 countries have had a lax immigration policy over the last few years, for better or worse. Another strategy is to have subsidies for bearing children; Japan is one nation that is particularly rough and has had a terrible birth rate compared to other nations. Human rights and bodily autonomy are also a major factor, as well as how stable the country is politically.
Rudy still holding those giant succulent bulbous Weiss bags.
Its time!
Rudy check out what's happening to the SV PSA 10 illustration and special illustration rares from SV base to PR. They're pumping in price with barely any supply available.
I still just can’t get behind high priced collector products I feel they eat up all the secondary market value up front. I’m all for modern magic!
Rudy still makes these videos because he loves it and he wanted to be a high school teacher growing up and this is pretty close if not better cause he can teach/talk sitting at home
The big problem is the price point. Wizards continues to raise prices and reprints a lot of the good cards. While it is a very good set, Wizards will print a lot of MH3. Another issues is that the card quality is not good. Years ago I could buy a case of Magic booster boxes for $480.00 plus tax. If you pay $1,000.00 a month for sealed Magic products you could only afford the Play Booster Boxes. The Collectors boxes are getting too expensive. Thank you for the video Rudy.
love your channel, cheers! ☀💧💀🔥🌳
This actually is the greatest bubble of all time, nominally.
But what will go down is the US Dollar. S&P will "go up" in USD terms but not really in a hard asset index like Gold or BTC
I just don't get buying the S&P here.
I admit the COVID crash killed me (and my perspective), and I've refused to invest long ever since then...
Wondering if SPX rejects 5450. MMTW at lows, while SPX at ATH?
What camera are you using? Damn it is so crisp.
Philosophical Rudy ❤
The Toaster attack of 1999 was wild.
did rudy stop doing openings?
Things have significantly changed in magic and Pokémon in the last 3 to for years. You use to get 4-5 magic sets a year with what 25 -30 product bar codes. Magic now probably has 150-200 products. Pokémon has there own printers so not controlling the print button is probably a very real worry for people.
It's not a worry, It's a huge plus. The oversupply of some sets was the result of not being able to cancel orders last minute etc.
Well Rudy, do you think Hasbro will stop pushing EPS?
If no then it’s junk wax era.
Just out of curiosity, is "Timmy" a word invented by Rudy or is it common slang for those concept(s)? I've heard him using it since the start in his videos.
Timmies, Johnnies, and Spikes are common MTG nomenclature referring to player types
"I like big green stompy monsters that cascade cascade cascade cascade" - Tommy
"I play one copy of this for the edge case when I combo off with twiddle storm, love taking complicated game actions" - Johnny
"I just play the best, most optimized deck because winning is fun" - Spike
RUDY! Those elaborate and high decorative frames can be expensive.
Be careful you might just go Baroque 🤓
idk why anyone says pokemon is going to 0. its literally the biggest marketable ip ever and millions of timmies will drop money on any set no matter how bad it is, if its bad just give it 6 months then everyone loves it.
not quite at $1000 and a box a month, but I'm 20 and I started a year ago and can already tell imma be chilling in a decade or two.
Should we invest in art then cardboard?
This video makes me think of that carved stone tablet from Assyrian in 2800 B.C. where its talking about how society is degrading, the earth is in it latter days and everything as we know it is coming to and end. 4000 years later and nothing about humans has really changed.
To be fair, for them it did. Their entire world was small and the Earth Globe as we know it today was a complete mystery. So they were absolutely correct. All societies fail, every last one that was isn't anymore.
Hey Rudy, do not let the negative comments get you down, get around some positive people :).
Rudy for president 2024 🎉🎉
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I'm 89 years-old and you saying I have one more year left to live and to think long term. What do?
Ten months left to touch grass a couple more times.
Despite the print runs, certain specialty prints have maintained good value. The problem with focusing on the specialty chase prints was they had to hit it out of the park consistently, which would be next to impossible. As far as Pokemon goes, the sentiment around gamefreak and the video games itself has definitely bled over. Gamefreak as developers have started to push their limits and showing cracks. Pokemon is a behemoth, but it's the video games that drive all of their other markets.
So how long does it take for the collector box to appreciate?
Every set is different. Fallout hit its peak in a month. Some sets hit a peak when it's printed.
Scarlet and Violet is alright. Paradox Rift and Temporal Forces are the real sleepers right now. It's about that time that the block starts to ramp up, keep your eyes out for the block defining set.
Love your vids!
Can you do a video on the status, the future and your thoughts on Secret Lair?
yes I agree
When your safes feature a piano finish, it is mandatory to include them in the background.
How many tacos can he fit in there
@@the_unlimited_edition some questions should not be answered.
In what world does he live where the average 21 yo could afford 1000$ a month? Especially in this economy. Do you shop rudy? Average 21 yo today is still living at home. A lot dont work.
Well Douglas the 21 year old you know are lazy.
They live at home so they can afford their sealed habit.
Not sure why conversation is that Scarlet & Violet and Paladea being resilient. They were sold @ $125 & $130 at release. Definition of dead money
tendies prices going up... and now they chargin' for dipping sauce!!
Then the unlimited printing of soulless cards is ok?
I’ve been away from this channel for a while. I’m starting to see the mindset even though I still don’t like people hoarding the old cards. Content is great though.
Damn. Prancercizing. That's quite the reference
I can't help but to think that Rudy has a room filled with foil wrappers. From a box he destroys daily , just throws the box and cards down a schute.
Incredible video
They should run a seperate retro magic series with oldschool style artwork and card design. that would get me into magic again after 20 years of not wanting to buy cards that look overstyled glittering or plainly stupid.
Yes! The oxygen thieves live forever 😂
The paranoia is a result of our survival instincts, and it's a hard habit to kick.
Timmy here, yes it is indeed time.
It's like a new season of a tv show where they get all new sets.
2.5k views 1 hour ago. Booby Trap Time!!! Best card ever!!!
Do you hate your secret labs chair as much as I do?
Reserved List MTG has done well and held value...
I can also get a crunch wrap, 5 layer burrito, chips and nacho dip and a large Mountain De Baja Blast zero for $6.59 with tax at Taco Bell in 2024.
Thank you cardboard Dave Ramsey 🙏🏻
Putting money into the 401k was a feels bad man 2020-2022, but you only lose if you cash out, so you gotta hold in those situations as much as possible
Rudy expensing his art purchases as business expenses for set decor 😂
OF on clearance at my west coast lgs, loaded up on bundles to the moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great advice as almost always. Get that basket of nuts kids
If you own that artwork behind you... Def use it for artwork on Rudy Card Game since you own it... nice.
Seriously though, you know what isn't "junk wax"? Pre-Eldraine.
video quality is good.
You can pick me up in a private jet and i’ll supply the tacos. 😂😂
Nothing better than a Rudy video while bbq’ing and a bottle of wine. Life is good.
