I don't understand this but I keep watching these videos.
No One Same. Only card game I seriously play is hearthstone. But you show me someone entertaining showing off card collections from magic or pokemon, I'm attracted to it haha
Why? because u which u bought the good cards back in the day $$$ lol
I have never played Magic. I will never do. But I have watched dozens of Rudi's taco videos (or maybe even ... hundreds?)
I had a friend in the army who was stationed at a boring outpost in the middle of nowhere.
The guys there played MTG pretty much all day.
dsagent now that's my kind of platoon
I want too
Watching this in 2021 , its incredible how EXPENSIVE all the cards got now.
Buying these collections back then was hoarding gold !!!
And three years from now we will be watching collection videos and thinking "omg Gate to Phyrexia and Hurkyls Recall (AQ) were under $100???? 😂😂😂
As a veteran, I've shipped TONS of stuff in those crates.
Great boxes.... Not really, they're the only ones we can buy at the PX.
illuzion30, lucky SOB.
I guess they weren't TOO terrible, I shipped 4 marble chess boards home in two of the. They made it home intact.
You had MTG at the PX!?
LucidLegend1984, negative. We had those stupid fucking pogs (not to be confused with POGs) that they'd give us instead of change..... Lol.
The Shipping containers.
LucidLegend1984 In 06-07 there was a card game shop ON BASE right arccos from my barracks. It was CRAZY. The real shit bags would hide out in the back room.
Thank you for your service Andrew. Hope you're able to make your shop a reality.
Hi Rudy,
I just discovered you today! I binged watched many of your videos, especially booster box openings so much fun. I'm new to MTG, well, not "new" to MTG I have known of MTG since I was a kid in 1994 my uncle who had past away at the age of 28 had bricks on top of bricks of cards! he shared a strong love for this beautiful game.
I have a couple of friends and they too love the game, and with me remembering that my uncle had played it, So I decided that I wanted to start getting into buying cards. I am falling in love with the game. I expect to buy many cards! I'm excited to learn everything there is to know in this crazy world of magic. But the main reason why I wanted to write this is, that I feel as if you had the great passion and love for this game just as my uncle did and it shows in every video. You expressions for this game is hilarious, you care about many types of trading card games some have more love than others clearly, you enjoy these games and I love that. Thanks for doing all of these videos you and my friends are making me love the fact that MTG exists and that there is such an amazing community behind it with people like you Rudy,
Thank you, Daen
P.S. I may even want to buy a booster box from you! Perhaps a signed box of booster box? That would be fun.
Great video, been watching a few videos from your channel recently. Love the passion you, your friends&fiends in the videos have for collecting and honest investing. I am more of a player and was introduced to magic a long time ago(I purchased from physical site retailers boosters of unlimited and antiquities,) and played consecutively in the first 10 pro tours and was invited to the first two all star events. I came back to the game in 2016 and was/am glad to see it still evokes passion in artists, gamers, and collectors. The reality of economics being a part of magic the gathering seems to be cementing in, and your role in such is a very important one. In short I chose, or had to choose, to stop playing in the 1990s(right after a top 8 finish at a pro tour) for economic reasons; so I am glad to see persons like yourself understand the realities of economics and integrate them into magic as a lifestyle.
Thank you, very much.
Sincerely, Mark Chalice.
incredible collection to look at rudy some amazing stuff in there. Just got a vision of a couple of soldiers in a bunker in afghanistan playing mtg goblins vs elves XD
A rare in one hand, M9 in the other.
I remember seeing something in a Duelist that said Wizard's was doing a special give away if you were deployed in The Middle East.
My brother in law said that when he was in the military. That when a new set released in the States they would get it tons of stuff mailed to them. They used to do FNM and drafts, He said that them doing all this really helped to keep going.
I can only imagine what it was like for them over there. But WoTC helped to bring our Armed Forces a sign that they supported them.
Now they are so far left and so PC, they either send far less cards to JBad or send none. I want to join the military, it would be interesting to see.
Redneck MTG. No I think Wizards would still help considering all Our Brave Men and Women go through. If anything I think they would go that extra mile by not only sending them physical cards but also setting each person who has a active DCI # up with insane accounts on MtGO or Arena.
( That way when they can they will have the ability to play family and friends while protecting us.)
*I for one would rather have the account so I could play and let everyone know I am okay. If I was in the military knowing I can hear and play my wife online would give me that extra insensitive to keep going.*
@@Str8edgejon lol "protecting us"
@@the_weeaboot8042 😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
Army Sappers are pretty much Special Operations Army Engineers. They blow stuff up, build bridges, and plant large explosives, all while under fire. Many Sappers are also Rangers or have gone to Ranger School. Those cards are from a certified Baghdad Badass.
Was funny for me seeing the Engineered Explosives card. 😁
I also wanted to say thank you! I am approaching my 38th birthday, and I began playing magic shortly after the release of Beta. In early 2000, I decided to sell my entire collection. Through the years since I have kicked myself constantly for the biggest blunder of my life, I look back at a collection that could be worth an astronomical amount in today’s market and seat over the fact that I accepted just $3,500.00 for every card I had ever owned. I recently have begun the Sisyphean task of beginning the rebuilding of said collection. I can’t quite describe the feelings of my childhood but watching your vintage magic content takes me back to those amazing days of my youth, spending my entire summer at my LCS and burning through so much of my parents $$$!! Anyway, sorry for rambling on... I truly wanted you to know how grateful I am to be able to see the joy I described above in another. Thanks Rudy! -Aaron
12 years ago I sold my 2 mox, Ancestral Recall, and Time Walk for $1000
Respect to Andrew (and everyone else whom does/has, of course) for his service, and sharing this bad-ass collection. Respect to Rudy as well. For, well..... someone help me here please...
Trainer Tre respect to soldiers. If only we fought our own battles not Israel’s
@@MinoritiesRlazy Like the Ukraines? Fuck em all man.
date missing on city of brass. and the coloring. it is arabian nights with recolored border.
Of all people, you would expect someone like Rudy to know the differences between Chronicles and Arabian Nights. Apparently not?
Yeah, Chronicles is just an extension of 4th edition. They are identical except for the expansion symbol on the chronicles cards.
marcmarc1967, far from identical. I shake my head at Rudy thinking that would be Chronicles.
Yep, definitely Arabian Nights + the chronicle city of Brass had a tap symbol, this one has the word "Tap", plus the scimitar on the Chronicle cards was shorter. we can't see the coloring properly, but I bet the blade of the Scimitar is grey
yes but even damaged one is more valuable then another which one did he say it was? oh right he did not know so he either split the diff or gave him the lesser like a real store owner would
They're called "footlockers", btw. My collection followed me from Iraq to Germany back to Atlanta that same way.
without rudy collecting, the prices of mtg would fall by 75 percent lol
hes not the only one thats been doing this :P
Lol
Proxy/get counterfeits, you only need the real thing to play tournaments.
@@RagingRugbyst Or just play on arena or cockatrice.
Because that's close to the real thing. Yep. Get real people, playing in paper is so much better
Absolutely beautiful collection.
Yep, all those toughboxes can be bought through AAFES. I have my fair share of them. Def an army guy. Damn engineers.
So the Kaboomists. That was his job in the Military. If he was a Sapper, he was a combat engineer. Build it, Bridge it, Blow it (up).
What do you think you're doing!?Mistreating those RTR Temple Gardens!!?!? Incoming drone strike.
2:15 Tiny-hands Rudy
I organize my cards in a similar way. I call them 'deckbuilding binders'. So one binder has tons of non-basic lands of all rarities that are conceivably playable for quick access to locate when deck building.
I organize coloured deckbuilding binders starting with 0 cost minions up and then 0 cost playable non-minion spells and up.
I've seen some really nice Military Collections. This was right up there. Keep up the good work Rudy. Looking forward to stopping in soon!
Oh Rudy! At the 7 minutes when u flip that 6 beauty arms and see a library, really a good moment, make me miss have a deck, bad moment with money, love and tacos from Brasil
I don't even play Magic anymore but this is the only paper Magic channel I like to watch regularly. Testament to Rudy!
I bet that foil pit trap has a memory attached to it. He said he was a sapper in the military and its a random foil 7th edition pit trap .
"I would like to have a woman to have 6 arms."
- Rudy, 2018
He actualy said I would like a woman to have six arms
Slivers conquering the world. I took some of my cards to Iraq (both times) and to the Philippines... Hawaii, Germany, a lot of shitty mainland bases (e.g. all of them). All over the place. Also D&D books. Didn't have electricity sometimes, so I'd run games by chemlight.
How could any military base not have electricity? D:
Slivers!
You ever send a private to look for chem light batteries?
Johnathan Blackwell that’s fucking rude. I like it.
Hey Rudy, as an ex-magic player who still enjoys using his friends' decks from time to time, and also as someone interested in investments and finance, I have to say- I love this channel. You have great camera charisma and your commentary is engaging and thoughtful. I feel like I'm in a boardroom meeting when I watch these vids. A very nerdy board room meeting.
I'd kill to have a collection like this it's incredible.
The Goth King ive got good news you can kill rudy for this exact collection!
the previous owner did
If you were a vet and a magic player, that last binder would have you howling with laughter.
What's crazy about most military players is that when they deploy or get stationed at their next post, base etc, they stop playing and just don't take their cards with them. As a collector I can't tell you how many people just drop off their cards or leave them behind for someone else to pillage through, most times its just a bunch of starter decks and a few booster packs cracked with bulk rares. However, every now and again you get some collections that are just beyond belief. And there's nothing you can really do to contact said person, they've already taken off to their next command.
I have taken sharpie ink off of MTG cards from all sorts of sets. It comes off easily with Q-tips and 91% Isopropyl. Heavy ink like that might take off some of the wax coating on the card, but if you want to restore the white border you could. I have done light touch ups without damaging the ink layer.
Love the fact your not sponsored.... Keep on giving your opinion.... Love the channel always watching.....!!!!!!!
Really cool, I had a collection that got blown up in Iraq and never got back into Magic...:(
The City of Brass says "Tap"...Chronicles had the symbol.
sorting in my binders look a lot like these, I keep things nice and tidy then go into deckbuilding take cards out then put things back where there's a empty pocket and give the right amount of time it ends up in a terrible unorganized mess :)
Just want to say that this "random blend of cards" is what happens when someone buys a couple boxes for each set over the years. Looks similar to my collection. Thanks for the video!
You can tell the City of Brass is Arabian Nights with colored borders because the author's name is printed at the bottom in large text, not small text with the date underneath.
12:10 I freaked the fuck out, congrats.
Much like many in the comment section I have never played nor collected Magic, but I really enjoy the videos. Keep it up Rudy.
Lands were organised this way, cause guy played singletons ;) (edh/german highlander/whatever)... this way it makes easier to build decks if you are rebuilding a lot. I had mine stored in perfect sizes so they wont get damaged...
This makes me so nostalgic ( i sold my collection in 2015).
I took part of my collection to Iraq with me, mostly my Ravnica cards. We also held a game Con there, Ziggurat Con.
www.gamegrene.com/node/790 In the credits at the bottom, I'm SPC Joslyn
I could just take all my life to see this beautiful collection ( and 30 years just for the Mackenzie ^^)
Love those Vanguard cards. Really miss that old format. I also want that foil Storm Crow!
Hey Rudy, so what was the rough figure for such a huge and amazing collection?
okay would anyone care to explain why the black border on Tundra is a 'thing'??
what was it, people coloring the borders of older cards to match the black borders of the newer sets??
other than that thought I do not see WHY that card would be that way, so any extrapolation on that?
I have 2 tough boxes also full of magic cards in the Fat packs. I actually thought for a second I was in my gallery when I saw the thumbnail
That is definitely a collection of a guy who loved playing this game. Wow that was a pretty sweet collection lol.
Wow what a collection, thanks for sharing the video. I'd be pleased to own even a quarter of all that lol
chronicles would have a date under the artist's name
agreed, that's definitely not a chronicles city of brass.
The City of Brass is Arabian Nights, but it has been sharpied. You can tell by the lack of a tap symbol (Arabian Nights cards said "tap" as there was no tap symbol back then).
City of Brass is ARN version inked. The Chronicles one has a tap symbol rather than the word "tap"
The City of Brass is Arabian Nights for sure. 100% Confident. Chronicles had different font, and the bottom name and date was included.
That City of Brass is Arabian Nights because it reads "Tap" as opposed to having a tapped symbol.
No copyright date on the City, probably Arabian Nights.
Definitely AN. The templating on the rules text is pre-1995.
8:03 How can the City of Brass be Chronicles when the text says TAP TO and has the entire Arabian Nights print?
The City of Brass is an original Arabian Nights one. Chronicles has a small line of copyright info like 4th/5th edition does
I have one of those long, cardboard storage boxes with the swamp symbol on it. I remember it came with several of the old Vanguard cards plus a few international boosters of Weatherlight, Mirage and Visions. I feel like the tool builders kits have now supplanted those older boxes.
Goes to your shop and buys a revised tundra and notices the border is made out of white out so i peel it off to reveal a black border, which is sharpie so i wipe it off and its revised editions again, but it looks fake so i peel it off and just wasted 200 dollars
Rudy. I'm pretty sure I saw a Drop of Honey. Check the price.
city of brass is Arabian. believe chronicles had the year stamped under the author like 4th edition
It says Tap... No date. It is Arabian!
Nobody93388 nice!
It also says "Suffer" Arabian is the only version to say that on it.
I love seeing the sets where you can tell someone had a favorite card (or theme). The pages of Kaboomists had me laughing.
I've also been around the world but this collection is more beautiful than any scenery
HOW COULD YOU JUST IGNORE THE MOST POWERFUL MTG CARD????
(I am obviously talking about foil storm crow)
because its worthless haha. worst card ever.
Foil storm crow is a $100 card. How many did he have?
LOL nobody is going to pay $100 for an unplayable card, foil may be cool and all but the card is TERRIBLE.
Rob Millington BUT YOU CAN DISCARD IT TO FOW!
Rob Millington everybody knows it’s a terrible card that’s not new info the joke is it’s so bad that it’s iconic
i used to use those same crates for Boy Scout camp :D
tons of Magic played at camp... those were the days
From a distance I thought they were FBB revised tundras, but enh. I’d still play ‘em.
Oh my god. I have never been so jealous in my life.
10:17 Love that Counterspell Art
I don't know why, but does Rudy remind anyone else of Pat Contri?
So much sweet candy for the eyes. Fantastic collection!
He had the most powerful creature in Magic...foil 7th Edition Storm Crow!
My opinion on Lions Eye Diamond is that is the closest reserved list card to Black Lotus that doesn't demand 10s of thousands to get into.
Just an update on Force of Will - looks like Double masters made the price go up since this video came out? currently at $85 on my local buylist
12:13 I actually DID freak the fck out there, holy smokes! troll rudy on duty
I didn't even notice the Drop of Honey, I was too focused on the Wheel of Fortune
Dope card sleeve
Did you show him your videos talking about how terrible is an idea it is to open a magic store
Demicron it's the guy's dream, I think wether it's a good idea or not is a bit irrelevant where the heart is involved. I hope it goes well for him
I think that was why he pulled out the pit trap. lol
Zamir Sux I agree 100% that it's his dream. But sometimes people don't know what they jump into and.if you have listened to Shitlord Rudy before you know what it's like. Unfortunately profit margins are shit and selling cake snacks and running a 7/11 of nerdism is meh.
Craig Nickerson lol I figured
Zamir Sux wrong
That's a sharpied Arabian city Rudy. No copyright line.
Goober.
Whhhhhy would you pant the borders with sharpie if your going to do that do it well
city of brass obviously from arabian night. just the way its worded "you suffer 1 damage"
"Every video everyone always asks me about these" *explains no further*
Love the troll at 8:10!!! :D
This is the normal boxes you can get in the BX or PX for $19.00, they are great for shipping
Of all people, you'd expect someone like Rudy to know the differences between Chronicles and Arabian Nights. Apparently not?
Me: Oooh wow black border tundra
Rudy: *sighs*
Me: Oh no black border tundra
probably already been mentioned, but that colored city of brass is arabian nights, not chronicles. if it was chronicles, it would have a the tap arrow and (c) 1995 in the corner.
Rudy Nooooo!!!!! Not Sorin... There was a MU on that page!! I couldn’t tell if it was original Legends or masters..
What a awesome collection!
12:05 Drop of honey is a few hundred bucks Rudy. Not bulk :D Just a heads up
RUDY GOT ME!
The chronicles CIty of Brass would have the copyright date at the bottom like 4th edition.
Love these
Subliminal signaling suggests my buyout spec is on the money. Time to pick up another few playsets. Most people don't know how to read your videos.
That city of brass is 100% a real arabian nights sharpied. Chronicles is like 4th edition and says the year at the bottom, and the text is different than real arabian
I think the reason FoW isn't going up is that the supply on that was already surprisingly large even before the reprint.
Also the legacy scene isn't that large so the demand for it is not huge.
Mana drain is way better in EDH anyway.
Buylist price for FoW Alliances is actually 45$
Omg did you see the back side on that one
Chronicles has a date on them dude. That is an OG Arabian Nights.
old foil are the best. even on cheap cards its a collector item that you want to own.
Rudy forgot the most expensive and honored card in the collection. A foil Storm Crow.
please do a 7th edition chapter, its my dream, love the channel
