people are going to mass open the boxes, and that's amazing for how cheap the singles are going to be. Anyone not getting the rings are going to get absolutely crushed.
That's what I'm hoping lol
There's a tonne of none collectors caught up in this 😂 there will be eBay listings on mass of open boxes with everything included. Just give me whatever I'm out of this stupid game 🤣
The regular singles are gonna be on the floor, yeah.
Such is the nature of the one ring. Lore accurate.
Packs are just scratch off lottery tickets at this point surprised the government is going after them trying to sell them to 13 year olds
Having worked in a Casino for over a decade I can tell you that theres going to be far more losers than winners.
It's quite sad really what's happening. Opening cards was always gambling but now it's been pumped full of steroids.
If it causes the market to have a huge supply of wanted singles..then I'm all for it. This set has some good commander cards I would love for cheap
Hasbro/wizards are finally leaning into the gambling addiction side of magic players :O
Math NEVER fails.
Having not worked in a Casino over a decade and i can tell you the same.
it was buddy who opened the 001/700. he's a newer small lgs owner. this is great for the small nebraska community we have here
@Joe-no7gs I think he meant it was good for buzz within the community. Gets people excited locally
He shouldn't have been able to open it yet anyway. Scumbag.
What part of Nebraska if you don’t mind me asking?
@@adamvaughn6251 he's in omaha
@Joe the 13k certainly helps when you’re a new lgs. Can confirm. No driveways were hurt during the making of this post.
"We do not recognize the secondary market. Magic cards are totally not gambling. Also here is a set containing lottery cards ranging from few thousands to 2 million dollar."
as someone who lives in a country with a minimum wage equivalent to 200 US$, I'm thankful of the craze of opening this boosters, the market is gonna be flooded with lord of the rings singles for my commander decks xD
Ye, what do these spoiled American nerds know about the hardship of life in some parts of the world...
It has such good lands for commander. Literally want them in every deck
So you live in…??
"1 ring to fool them all" - Lord Spock of Winterfell
I hope Mr Beast buys the 1o1 ring and throws it in a volcano
I've never heard that one before
I still want a little child to open it and play it without sleeves on the pavement.
When you are so socially deprived you repeat former top comment for the attention. L
That would be an epic video!!
My LGS is selling the collectors for $375 cash and doing the collectors + set booster for $500 cash. I have been supporting him for nearly 30 years. I have no qualms with him making some extra profit from this.
he cant help but laugh that when he opened his store in 1989 it was all about sports cards, started selling magic in 94/95, and then pokemon when it first came out... now his new store is all about CCG's and very little sports cards... he works 3 days a week and is very happy.
Rudy said the cheapest box on TCG is $405 plus tax so that store is still $30 below the cheapest online box.
@@MSUHitman yeah 95% of the time your local store will be cheaper then the crap offered on the internet
also if you buy bulk gets even cheaper i only buy ten+ boxes at a time average price around 80-90 bucks a box on most things

When a man who buys and sells magic cards every day, thinks about them daily, says your flipping crazy. It means something
it means he aint making that shit
"You're"
Learn English.
The problem is people have to justify the money they wasted stupidly on pieces of cardboard. Then they go on the internet and try to get profit and try to sell cards for 1k lol
Please somebody tell them nobody is buying the serialized rings for that prices, snap back to reality.
@@golgariplague4746 I have to stop you right there. They aren't "Pieces of cardboard", people put time and effort into the art work, and they're essentially buying a piece of art that other's use to play games.
Anyone who knows actual art knows the value of something beautiful.
@@Whitguy86 but you an buy that art somewhere else, i love the art and i collect tcg cards but i think it's absolutely ridiculous asking 10k for a serialized ring, it's absolutely ridiculous. It's not a house, it's not a car, it's a little card. I think the issue is people invest so much money on this cards, and are expecting to profit with it and make more money than they waste.
For example, i bought a Yugioh Wild Survivors booster recently for 3€ and got a Collector's Rare card that is worth +80€ , but who is really going to buy that card, how many people really want to collect that card? I could probably bargain and sell it for a lower price. I think people are deluded and think there's a post malone in every corner that will pay 80k for a card.
Stores asking Rudy for some of his allocation 🤣
Always appreciate the strong morals. I really don't think Rudy is trying to be greedy here with the warning.
Me: I can't wait until these collector boosters show up at my Walmart!
MJ Holding: Best I can do is more Digimon.
And yu gi oh or pokemon 😑
I think everyone forgot there was 1000 other serialized cards that magic fanatics will want to get there hands on.
I think that’s why there’s such a premium on them. Less than 2000 of these rings and many won’t be opened. When you think about the amount of players playing commander and then the amount of sol rings in decks.
I'm hard just thinking about serial numbered cards
I could see Rudy turning into a real-life Gollum if he finds the one ring.
It feel like people are locking in profit from boxes they don't even have yet. The backlash is going to be severe
We live in a country where people lose their minds if gas prices go up 25 cents a gallon, where 300 thousand veterans are living on the streets digging in the garbage for a bite to eat, and some children don't have food or clothes, while others will pay 25 dollars for a movie ticket, 7 dollars for a cup of coffee, or 10 thousand dollars for a piece of cardboard. That's the world we live in folks. smh
Merica!
Value is arbitrary. It's only crazy to you because you're poor lmao.
less than 40,000 homeless Veterans. (still 1 is too many) Just want to give that proper context. 300k would be 2% of Veterans. The problem with Western culture is that people don't actually care there is a homeless problem, they only care they have to see it.
Exactly
@@Dahpiepost-modern Enlightened western values are arbitrary because of the removal from the means of production and the association of material possessions as symbols of status. Value is inherent to utility but most people don't need to utilize anything because of Netflix and DoorDash. GET IN THE POD!!!
Rudy, your probably the only calm sane voice out there. Keep up the good work.
Dr. Evil might as well be calling the prices at this point 😆
One hundred….. Trillion dollars!
As a business owner, one thing I’ve learned through conversations about people who’ve never owned a business, is that they have have almost zero comprehension about how profit margins work and how important they are.
They just expect every business to operate on grocery store margins. Which would simply kill most businesses.
Chasing the 1/1 ring is a fool's game, especially at these inflated prices. As soon as somebody finds it, prices will tank and everyone left holding unopened collector boosters will be hosed. Prerelease events and a bundle are the only things I'm spending money on until prices level back out.
x2 🤣🤣
theres still Serialized Sol Rings
There’s no way some insider at wizards isn’t keeping that ring with an open offer of 2 million. It’s like a junky for a scratch off ticket….
Yep. Look at what happened with McDonald's Monopoly game pieces
@Grogdizzy that isn't the samething what so ever. You can't compare the two. . . Are you high?
@@grogdizzy5814 mcdonalds had nothing to do with that scandal.
Buy a box, sounds like a payout if that happens and is proved 😆
@@grogdizzy5814 exactly.
So there are in theory 3 360 000 collector bosters that can have any of the serialized cards, including the One Ring, across all products. So the takes are: single prices are going to crash, until someone pulls the One Ring; sealed product is going to get more expensive until someone pulls the One Ring. As soon someone pulls the One RIng everything is going to collapse like a house of cards? Let's wait for September.
Don't forget the reprints coming in November. Should crash the prices even harder
Nope, it was pulled and still no colapse
@@danielsalas1064 good morning necro
@@danielsalas1064 good morning necro
You can't view it through the CCG lense. The Lord of the Rings IP is pitting a significant boost to the product. This isn't Godzilla. Tolkien fans are much more plentiful than MtG fans and they're crossing over into a product that has a similar vibe to their IP.
This drop is insane. Never felt more discourage about collecting cardboard. Love MTG, Love some of the Collaborations they've done, But damn.
Yeah man, as a big LOTR fan and MTG collector I'd really love to open a bunch of this set, but the prices are ridiculous. They're really pandering to the "hype" community with this one, not so much to the longtime collectors
Yeah its very discouraging for me that the Colector box is over $400 now. I just can't justify buying especially since im not a collector and I won't even use all the cards. I'd only use the lands and some of the Mythics. I'm just going to save up for Commander Masters because at least I know I'll use just about every card I pull from that set
I just love Lotr even more than magic and got lucky with a human ring
I'm staying as far from this set as I can feasibly till the hype dies.
And miss out on the rings!?!?!! Greed has no hold on your soul. 😂😂
Same dude, not about to drop half a grand on product when it will be $100 in two months
@RandomGuy-qg9xf I mean, to be fair, the neon ink cards were shit to begin with. The card is fairly unplayable in most formats and it wasn't centered around a great IP like LOTR.
@@RandomGuy-qg9xf I haven't been hyped for really any of the other specialty cards but this one.
@@RandomGuy-qg9xf That's fair, new and exciting sells. 😂
People who buy singles are really the winners for this set. The value of cards in the set is gonna plummet from the mass box openings, I’d be we willing to say that a card’s value from this set will be about 70% of its true value, and will only climb back after a few months or whenever the set is fully out of print
I've opened boxes from every set for the past 5 years on release day and in every single set (except MH2, but that's an exception because of the pandemic times) 90% of the cards dropped 40-50% within the first week or two after release. That's with a normal amount of people opening boxes. Wouldn't be surprised to see this one drop up to 80% for most of the cards, especially with the reprints coming in November
@@bobsaget4102 thank you Bob Saget, how are you alive?
This has really become the "Lottery ticket" mentality of all boxes.
There is only 62 boxes right now under 500€ in cardmarket for the whole european continent 🙃
Rofl, my local game store, in California, in the Bay Area, $400 preorder (about 435 with tax). I ordered one (and a bundle) to support them.
In person, in a physical store, in CALIFORNIA. No shipping, no TCG fee…
These boxes wholesale around 280, idk why $410/box sales price is so surprising
It kind of makes sense. MTG is not just collectible cards, the values of singles aren't just driven by scarcity per se, but also by the playability of the cards. The P9 are basically unplayable, only few people play Vintage in real life and anyway pretty much all Vintage events are proxied anyway, so the playability of cards like the MOXs is almost ZERO. So basically the P9 (along with some other Vintage card are pure collectibles, excluding Time Twister). On the other hand, Commander is the most played MTG format right now, not competitively, but in general yes. Sol Ring is almost in EVERY single Commander deck. On top of that, these serialized cards are even more scarce than actual P9s. So it makes sense that they get in the range of the thousands dollars per card. There is an exception to the P9, which is Time Twister that confirms my theory. Time Twister is the only P9 legal in Commander. Many years ago it was considered BY FAR the worst P9 and I remember it being way cheaper than other non P9 cards like Bazaar, Mishra's Workshop and so on... while nowadays is more expensive than Ancestral Recall.
People underestimate the pull of Lotr collector market. A pulled a serialized human ring and will definitely sit on it for at least 5 years
The hair skits are hilarious, I just realized you talk about trading cards or something after that???
I've given up on Magic sets. I just pick up the Commander precons now.
The 1/1 one ring is gonna be the McDonald’s boardwalk of magic
Purchases proxy to frame and hang on the wall. Proceeds to enjoy ring collection where only difference is the blatantly different card backs lol
Boy I sure miss when magic was a fun game of 12-15 usd for a draft and 25-30 for a draft and i could build a decent edh deck for under 100.
War of The Spark, Dominaria, Throne of Eldraine, Tap Your Stepsister, never seen anything like it
A lot of nerds play magic, a lot of nerds loved LOTR movies = high selling product
Waiting for the MTG Authentic Jersey cards where you get a Jace with a piece of Mark Rosewater's mustard stained t-shirt in it.
Who needs news when rudy is on top of everything relevant 🎉
Rudy is right, it’s good local stores can make some extra bucks on the product. But they should be super careful the next time Wizards does this and it’s not as big a deal.

If the price goes up Rudy is pressing the price, if the price goes down Rudy is supressing the price. (I'm like: WHAT? WHAT!!?")
It's just as ridiculous as it is funny :'D It has become like a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't kind of scenario.
"The Community" is seriously weird... Or rather, people are weird... But that's no big surprise :D
Thanks for your videos Rudy, they are really appriciated :D
LOTR taps into another market of collectors, not just MTG. In addition, the first MTG to have serialized numbers, I think it will def go to 500+
They did everything right to push this set.
A 1/1 card.
A franchise that is popular but not over done.
A small controversy that is only inflated because discussions are attacks.
Especially after sets that people dont really care about.
Wonderful. Can't wait for the money to cycle back into scarce cards. While people get rekt on this set, I'll continue buying out-of-print OG art on playable cards.
Then, when people are at max despair with this set, I'll buy one of the elven rings for $500.
One day a teacher in his 40s will see the ring in the hand of a kid, trading the 1/1 ring without a sleeve for some chewing gum and half of a Sandwich 😂
...not a taco???
It only comes in 30$ collectors boosters, so even assuming wotc isn't holding it in a specially tracked shipment off to some influencer there's a fat chance of that happening
People really overestimate how many kids crack packs and play MTG nowadays. This game is for obese rat-bearded, pink-haired communists with visible buttcracks in their 20s to 40s.
Sneaking in the "that is what plants need" was EPIC !! Water ? You mean from toilets ?
Serialized cards in MTG is like NFTs for crypto, don't even think of going there!
My LGS is offering collectors boxes at 435 on Monday and they are already sold out and looking for more. It's crazy out here in TX. Everyone be safe. I don't want to hear that someone was hurt fighting over the 1 of 1 ring IRL.
I love it how on multiple sites, channels and popups sellers are advertising "preorder" sales yet they've been sold out for days
Rudy I agree with you that people don't understand how important it is for retail stores to have a large profit item. If you want a local supplier do not begrudge them a hit once in a while.
Honestly the number 1 and the final one of every serialized thing usually goes for 10+ times the regular series, with maybe 69 and 420 also getting massive premiums.
The way I look at it is they extended the reserve list by printing more serialized cards smart move wizards
When The One Ring is opened, we're going to see a crash the likes of which we've never seen.
I’d be salty if some store backed out on my pre-sale order. I bought a mini-case on eBay several days ago for $390/box delivered. I don’t think the ring will go public for a long time so prices will keep climbing. Seriously, if I pulled it I would be kind of scared to come out with it 😂
I just realized Rudy looks like if Bam Margera was only addicted to cardboard.
Its Lord of The Rings and MAGIC x rarity. That equals huge value. This is attracting a lot of outsiders who love LOTR. Not surprised it is so successful.
My LGS has them at $370, not a bad deal now.
My LGS's pre order price was $500 a box for collectors. You guys are lucky to buy $400 boxes
Find a new LGS

This reminds me of the Sketch cards that were in the Neopets The Darkest Faerie booster boxes. They made serialized super rare cards over 10 years ago and now the booster boxes are so rare they go for over $5000 since no ones held onto any.
The preorder system works if the stores dont act like greedy sob's. If you take early early preorders, you win because you get extra sales. When they cancel orders, they are just having their cake and eating it too. The store never loses because of their cost basis especially in the preorder period (unless the set catastrophically flops).
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
Now that the easy money is gone from the Pandemic, the bounty wars are the only way to artificially pump prices these days. This is the new normal. As Barney Stinston always said, new is always better. It's unfortunate that people don't value vintage as much as they should now.
Im hoping stimulus checks will be the new political stunt. Id gladly take a random 1,000 around election season. Wouldnt change my opinions, but it would get me some cardboard.
I gotta admit, all of this is lore accurate, including the fact that if someone pulls a serialized card they’re probably going to get stabbed, god forbid someone pulls the one ring in a card shop lol.
Have any of these investors considered that the moment the One Ring is found, the rest of the box prices are going to crash?
Cardconomist did a video saying the boxes will crash once it's found. I agree with him. This is a bubble.That being said, I hope I'm wrong and people make loads of cash.
The Ring should be in the first wave of product released to stores. Just get it over with.
Also remember that if you don't care about the serialized cards there will be Holiday Collector set coming out in November.
This why never believe the Timmies about cheap singles and boycotts over Magic30, they always move on to the next hype and forget, keep sealed like Rudy always says there gonna be hardly any sealed LOTR boxes after the dust settles.
other than the bowmastsrs, are there any big hits for modern, legacy, and cedh?
The non serialized rings are even going for 1000+ rn this is so fricked up.
Also in Europe boxes have been 450€+ since two weeks, that's even more fricked up
If it goes to $500 a box, then it will definitely crash once the One of One ring is pulled.
bruh the greed in the movie and irl about the hype an the one ring. Crazy. We all just a buncha gollums haha
The only thing I‘m truly sad about is that the draft booster costs 150 euros,… I think I want to draft the set.
Well for that price I can get the the complete set.
Something else shiny will come along soon. Hasbro will go get another existing IP and make cards of that. They'll run this case cow into the ground.
I'm predicting league of legends or.... or hell nah.... Mario..😢
just getting back into your videos and paper magic, what a crazy time to come back
465+ EUR in EU / Cardmarket for EN Collectors.
Major Online stores = 530+
Cards will be so cheap 2 weeks after launch
i thought the House of Cards series got cancelled. nice to see they rebooted it IRL
Meanwhile in Norway, we have only 1 lgs, and the current price is 600$ + shipping
Thats what plants crave ... Rudy my guy i cannot believe you havent seen that movie my guy.
I think this set was enough to bring in those curious sports card collectors who had always wondered about MTG.
No, just the Lotr fans, they got away with using such a big community
Welcome to the world of sports cards. Everyone chasing that Luka 1/1, Burrow 1/1, Brock Purdy 1/1, Jasson D 1/1, etc with bounties. So what happens next? Once the creator figures out the secondary market has an appetite to gamble, they double the retail price, to double their piece. You'll see more serialized cards and you'll see more collaborations with popular themes.
Could but a piece of power or a ton of original duals for that money. Yeah rather but those than the numbered rings.
That's because it's 001 / 0f 700 , repeat numbers sell well too , or if it's the number that matches the number of the cards set that'll go high too ... Or even the Date of the Set release perhaps ... Alot of permutations
Or 69 or 420
I wanna see a shot of all the bounty hunters in a lineup like in star wars
It's funny how Rudy isn't saying the price is too cheap like he usually does lol.
He knows madness when he sees it. (Except when it comes to the Moth game)
Rofl people really value things way too highly it would seem.
Also haven't been this early in a while the tacos still floppy
It's "what plants CRAVE" Rudy! You're driving me nuts!
There's so much hype, this set has got to be pulling in a bunch of people outside MTG circles. But will they stick around after the hype dies down?
Yup, makes sense given the chase attention they are also getting. As I have said for months: them serialized elf, dwarf and human rings will be worth a pretty penny, but IM still betting on The One Ring getting up to 3 million or more, an d then when its Beckett ( or PSA or something else if whomever finds it just wants to be silly) graded, it would likely rise to 5 or 6 million to maybe even 10 million one day! DONT DESTROY IT! IT is THE ARTIFACT of ARTIFACTS mtg card! ^
Also, its not so much the fact that stores are making a couple extra bucks on top of the box price, its the sheer fact that the box price itself from the get go is so outrageously high, and this has been an increasing trend for the mtg boxes for a few years since before even Throne of Eldraine. We have literally seen this happening and despite the potential value that some might get back after cracking boxes, even the price of the individual packs have gotten high too over the years. Once I saw the collector boosters getting close to and then going over $40 bucks, I was just too disappointed in MTG and still cant decide if I am comfortable buying even a pack. Its just too strange and it makes me relaly miss Golen era and Silver Era magic when I was a kid. BE well.
welp...the ring was found over a month ago now...and...it was just PSa graded...WOnt be worth as much, unless somebody regrades it by Beckett and it gets the GOlden label 9.5/10 grade. MIght still hit over 3 million dollars or more in offers for the forseeable future, but whom knows if or when the canadian owner (T
As a LotR and Tolien fan I would collect cards from this set but no... Those are not LotR cards.
well....that's a take for sure...lmfao
Dear Rudy, here’s a thought for you.
If we look only at English collector packs, we know that they’ve printed 3,300,000 or 275,000 boxes, as we can deduce this from the 1:3,300,000 chance of pulling The One Ring. I’ve seen two complete case un-boxings online where each case averages about 30 total box toppers per case or 5 per box, i.e., that means there are 1,375,000 total box toppers in English collector packs! Breaking that down that’s 275,000 foil toppers [since the box topper is a guaranteed foil], 1,089,000 non foil [ 1,375,000 - (275,000 foils + 1% chance of getting a surge foil], and 11,000 surge foils. Hmm… In terms of how many of each of the 30 exist in collector packs that’s: 9,167 foils, 36,300 non foils, and 367 surge foils [rounded to the nearest up]. If for every surge foil there are 25 foils and 99 non foils, then each surge foil of The Great Henge could cost anywhere between $1,600 and $4,000 [X20-X50 times the regular foil price] or more. I mean, if a 1/700 sells for $13,000 then what stops a surge foil from selling for more? And that’s assuming Wizards is printing the same amount of each topper. There are so many Timmy’s out there burning through their cash supplies during inflation that it’s just stupid! Wait until the rates of their borrowed money go sky high or deflation hits. Ouch! I wonder how many Timmy’s bought the top 10 or 20 cards of this set already. If you’d purchase the top 12 regular priced cards of the set already, you’d be $60 plus dollars poorer. Imagine those who bought a play set. Now imagine the potential prices of The Great Henge or Ancient Tomb when we factor how many copies are actually hitting the market. This is a limitless print product! MH2 won’t come close to selling as much as LOTR. Add draft, set, and foreign boosters of all types an me thinks the market might not be able to handle the surge of cards. Plus add Secret Lairs, more Lord of the Rings future products, the recession getting worse, mistrust, and wallet fatigue. Time to buy more Reserve List cards as Timmy’s attempt to cash out at extreme low buy out prices. I think, if I can bother to go to the prerelease, I’ll keep playing OS 40 formats and 7 points.
"What stops a surge foil from selling for more?" The person that's throwing the money at that 1/xxx or the person they're hoping to flip it to doesn't know or care what a surge foil is. They're LotR fans who go "look, number printed on card, it number one" and that's it. This is money temporarily coming in from outside that just wants the thing with the right number on it from that thing they like, they're not starting to collect mtg in general. Same thing happened with graded games, got a bunch of "well 9.6 A has gotta be higher than 85+ because math bro" and the market resettled after they found a bag holder.
