    People should treat MTG as a game, the way that Richard Garfield has envisioned, not as an investment. Seriously, MTG is the worst investment you could make.

    • @shawnsurmick6081
      @shawnsurmick6081 7 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      Now MTG is a bad investment for newer products. The people who got in early ‘cleaned up.’ Do I think the investment element is gone? NO. Do I think people should be cautious as to what they buy? YES.

      There are SO many ways to make money investing in MTG, it's kind of tough to just label the whole thing a bad investment. Rudy displays a hard-on for sealed product. That's neat, but it is something that can stop being viable at any time, and we are seeing a decline in that viability already, whether he wants to admit it or claim the opposite. I assume he has admitted it to himself, which is why he "shares" his "secrets"; he isn't sharing, he's trading something of perceived value (obsolete knowledge) for a faster-growing sealed product-buying customer base.
      Another way to invest is quietly speculating on cards with potential while the market is flooded with sellers. Right after release, and right around rotation from T2... those are the times to FEAST on the undesireables while the prices are supressed and everyone else is eager to part with what you want.
      I have over a hundred "investments" where I bought up hundreds of copies of cards that were buyable for bulk or close to bulk prices right after the set came out and/or right after it left type2; cards that fairly obviously had potential to spike multiple times in the future. Go check these out, they were all EASY OPPORTUNITIES TO INVEST ALMOST FEARLESSLY:
      Gitaxian Probe - piled 700, sold down to 400 before the ban
      Visions of Beyond - piled up 600, sold down to 400
      Dismember - piled up 600, sold down to 200
      Valakut - piled up 300, sold out
      Raging Ravine - piled up 300, sold out
      Celestial Colonnade - piled up 300, sold out
      Lightning Bolt - piled up 1500, sold down to 1000
      Ad Nauseam - piled up 300, sold down to 50
      Inquisition of Kozilek - piled up 600, sold out
      Stony Silence - piled up 600, sold down to 200
      Amulet of Vigor - piled up 500, sold out
      Death's Shadow - piled up 800, sold down to 25
      Puresteel Paladin - piled up 500, sold down to 250
      Leyline of the Void - piled up 400, sold out
      And soooooo many more, this is just off the noggin
      Go ahead, seriously, look 'em up, this is all stuff from well within the past decade, and isn't even close to an exhaustive list. This was all EASY to buy up EN MASSE at CHEAP prices... most for so long that I cut myself off rather than push into the 1000s because then it becomes a pain (or impossible) to get rid of stuff quickly when the time is right.
      Of course, it doesn't always work out, but if you're diversified you only need about 1 in 10 to spike and you're well in the black... and if you're good at assessing mtg card value and have several years to wait, more than half of your choices should spike.

    This format is awesome. It allows me to consume your content while still playing a game. Even when I watched some of it, it was awesome. Seeing you in a more calm light was cool too. Keep up the good stuff.
    (I was also curious if you had seen a bigger growth after getting your channel back, from the other TH-camr publicity)
