I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way about collector boosters. Not only does it diminish the value of the rares, but it gets rid of the hunt in draft and set boosters. Now you buy the draft booster for the draft experience, Set Boosters to build decks, or collector boosters for the hunt. Gone are the days where 1 product does all.
That awaken the woods card at 20 bucks is pretty pricy, and Myrel, Shield of Argive is really powerfull, gotta bring those 2 up tommorow . Sorry I missed your comment on the live stream this morning, it is a good one. thanks Alan!
Very nice opening! I've watched a few and hadn't seen anyone get a 69 pin; congrats! I have seen a few Rudy Claus' though, so nice hit there. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive so I can make a video too!!
I got mine a few weeks ago from Rudy. There was a yellow post-it note inside that smelled like tacos and had some unidentifiable stains on it that read like this; " 6.9 year anny scam 1- pump 2- dump 3- profit 3.69- buy off influencers 4- Acapulco resort with MTGLion" Idk what thats supposed to mean but it got a 6.5 in grading so Im happy, its now a 1/1 worth almost $69,420.69
This dude got super lucky to get the monarch boxes. Most buyers paid $700 for ~$50 to $100 worth of Rudy's least desired packs (notice the collector pack was balder's gate- the least valuable set we've had in a while, which Rudy could not offload quick enough). I was a patron. This really blew me away, though. I understand there is value in the unboxing experience, and the novelty of the crazy dice and pins he's offering here, but that experience and novelty needs to be worth around $600 to you to make up for the deficit between the actual product you're getting and the price you pay. It absolutely mystifies me that anybody is happy with these boxes. And one of the unboxings I watched, You can just hear the guy deflating as he realizes on camera how badly he got hosed
He spent a whole week talking about what was in the box and gave a 90 day heads up. It sold out in two hours. 2,400 were made. Just saying he spent a week because it would be super easy to go back and find all the videos about it.
Each pin is redeemable for a different sealed case of product. The Greed Monster he has is redeemable for a case of 1st edition Monarch Flesh and Blood. He sends the pin to Rudy, Rudy signs the pin and sends it back to him along with his sealed case of Flesh and Blood. Amazing hit!
I'm just missing something I think. I seen lots of Rudy videos and he himself very very genuinely hated the 30th anniversary product. He would never sell a box of these contents for $700 on the same token while genuinely meaning his mtg 30th video. He's always been for the people and a fair person. He wouldn't sell some dead end box worth less than $100 for $700 for fans who give him money just as a content creator. That makes no sense. So clearly I'm missing something. Is the 69 pin redeemable for something? The pins must be more expensive material than I'm aware of or maybe they are actual partial gold or plated and retain value. Rudy isn't dumb and wouldn't make a dumb product. But I'm not a patron. He admits it in all his videos. Says always seek professional financial advice etc etc. He doesn't have some false ego he's a celebrity worth money. It would contradict almost every video.
There's a lot to unpack here: The pins are redeemable -- and those ending with 69 are redeemable for different things, depending on which pin you get the number ending with 69. In this case, with the greed monster, I get a case of 1st Edition Monarch. There are a number of collectibles in this product that aren't anywhere else - for example, signed blank cold foil equipment cards by James, the creator of Flesh and Blood. For Magic the Gathering, signed and limited quantity Beta Lands that were altered by Sue Ellen Brown. They are very limited in quantity and exquisite pieces of eye candy. There's also the chance to pull a GemKeeper Rudy card - which offers the holder of said card discounts on Rudy's Monthly Patreon deals. The bottom layer has the opportunity for a limited edition Metazoo Christmas Rudy card - only about 1000 of them produced. In addition, there's other stuff - including collector boosters, pokemon boosters, promo items from Flesh and Blood, amongst others. This was a one and done - Rudy's never doing this again. He said as much in one of his videos - the amount of time, planning, and sheer volume of work to do it - it took a lot to make it it a reality. One thing I would say as far as value goes - start adding up the value on some of these items - What's a case of 1st edition Monarch going for these days? What's a collector booster worth? How much does a Christmas Rudy promo card go for on Ebay? What's a pack of Morningtide worth? Every box has value to some degree or another. Some stuff is going to be worth a lot more - others, like the Sue Ellen Brown alters, who knows? Was it worth it? I think so. For those patrons that bought into, I think they wanted to show their support and enjoy the game. This was a form of interaction that could only happen between him and his patrons - and not every TH-cam content creator does or could do something as ambitious and, imo, cool! Look around and tell me of ANY other content creator that has done anything like THIS.
This was a dumb product. I was a patron. Most people got hosed. No 69 pin and maybe a few odd packs worth 50$, and no Rudy claus. This was the best box I've seen on TH-cam thus far.
At first blush, I thought, "Why would anyone buy a lottery ticket?". Then, because reasons, "There's more to this -- people like Rudy. People want to support his channel. People like me." At the end of the day, Rudy tells it real. I like that. I want to support that kind of real. He's not always right. None of us are. I'm a patron of his and recognizing when you can be part of something, even a one--off sort of event like this and have some shot at doing well, it's a conscious choice to say "F it, I'll roll the dice."
What a garbage product, this is getting lucky? You all do realise that in 5 years, when nobody knows who the F Rudy is these will be worthless right? How much $$$ are people flushing with these?
700 bucks for a commander legends collector pack and a santa claus card of Rudy lol slap some pins that cost him .10 cents each. a random pack of morning tide lol I dont get it either but ok
I am so confused by the comments and everything. This is worth like 150 at best if your a fan? Why is a 69 pin good? Do you redeem it for something? Did the 69 pin indicate he would get an old school booster? That was the most expensive item Serious question. I'm assuming I'm missing part of the process because nothing in here was inherently exciting?
@@dannydubs wow, I would sell now ASAP, like i said in 5 years when nobody knows who or what a Rudy is, these piles of steam will be worth pennies and traded only amongst Rudy faithful... I would rather buy a few Duals any day LOL

Great 6.9 box! Thanks for posting--definitely the best 6.9 box I've seen on TH-cam!
For the Greed Monster 69 Pin - 4 x Monarch 1st edition Boxes = GREED MONSTER PIN
Super spicy box. A Rudy Clause and a 69 pin. You easily made your money back on this one. Can't go wrong with a vintage booster opening either.
Really nice box. I think this is one of the best boxes opened on TH-cam so far.
Congrats dude! One of the better openings I’ve seen
Holy cow, that box is REALLY good. Nice! Congrats, and thanks for sharing!
That awaken the woods card at 20 bucks is pretty pricy, and Myrel, Shield of Argive is really powerfull, gotta bring those 2 up tommorow . Sorry I missed your comment on the live stream this morning, it is a good one. thanks Alan!
That was fun, I like that you opened the packs.
Congrats on the 69 pin! I got two 68 pins in my set but I still really like them
If you added up the actual selling value of all of the junk in this box, it would be worth less than one moldy taco.
Your the real OG! Thanks for posting this!
More interested in watching this than anything Magic 30th related
Nice. I got a pack of commander legends 2 on my second level and market manipulator Rudy with a pack of AFR on my third.
this 6.9 year release highlights a certain interesting observation I have made.
In my time line Rudy has been on TH-cam at least 8 years.
Very nice opening! I've watched a few and hadn't seen anyone get a 69 pin; congrats! I have seen a few Rudy Claus' though, so nice hit there. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive so I can make a video too!!
May your chalupas always be crispy sir
Congratulations 🎊!
Those pins are hilarious 😂
Nice - can I still Getriebe of those ? 😮
Nice!!! Finally someone wins!
Seasoned dungeoneer is not longer a “meh” fyi, a new legacy staple!
It was a meh at that point, and yep, definitely a hit now! Definitely took some time for the meta to catch up!
Heck ya! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great video
thumbs up new sub -keep up the great work brother
Wow thanks for sharing this!!
Here here reprint the reserve list!!!
What did you win?
A case of FaB Monarch 1st Edition.
The only other 69 hit I saw, was the Greed Monster.
Good hits on this box!
I got mine a few weeks ago from Rudy. There was a yellow post-it note inside that smelled like tacos and had some unidentifiable stains on it that read like this;
" 6.9 year anny scam
1- pump
2- dump
3- profit
3.69- buy off influencers
4- Acapulco resort with MTGLion"
Idk what thats supposed to mean but it got a 6.5 in grading so Im happy, its now a 1/1 worth almost $69,420.69
So this is what all the lil timmys are buying wow u timmys are luckyyyy
Congrats on a win there you go
69 for Days
I'm barely familiar with Alpha Investments. Are these boxes purchased or through his Patreon?
Both.. 600$ I believe or maybe $700
@@culleykid oof
Simps getting excited over overpriced garbo
Lol at Seasoned Dungeoneer being meh. Ripping up Legacy.
Why is the 69 on the Greed Monster so good?
69 on any of the pins equals a case of a TCG from Rudy. The greed monster is a a case of 1st edition Monarch from FaB.
@@alanc12402 Wow that's Epic. Congratulations for sure ^_^
Can someone tell me what I just watched?
Some poor sap getting hosed by Rudy and thinking it was good 😂
You even talk like Rudy lol
whatcha get from the greed monster?:D
Dude, where'd you get that knife?
Canadian Tire a few years ago.
how much was the box and what did you get for the pin?
$699US and 4 x Monarch 1st edition Boxes

What is this product? Never heard of him selling this
This was a one-time product that Rudy put together celebrating his 6.9 years on TH-cam. Only available to his patrons.
He spent a whole week talking about what was in the box and gave a 90 day heads up. It sold out in two hours. 2,400 were made. Just saying he spent a week because it would be super easy to go back and find all the videos about it.
What do you get for the 69 pin?
yeah I'm curious too. Just commenting so if someone responds I see too
Each pin is redeemable for a different sealed case of product. The Greed Monster he has is redeemable for a case of 1st edition Monarch Flesh and Blood. He sends the pin to Rudy, Rudy signs the pin and sends it back to him along with his sealed case of Flesh and Blood. Amazing hit!

There were highly exclusive alters that were not opened in this box as well. Also that Rudy Claus card is worth over $700
