I feel like Rudy is just trapped in his cardboard labyrinth and descending into madness
Like that weird book "House of Leaves".
Oh 100% and I'm loving it
1,000 %. The happiest day of my life is going to be when he has to sell his stupid paintings and those messed up statues. How do you keep these idiots going idiots supported through clicks
lol The dimensions on the inside of my cardboard castle are larger than the outside! circumfrence! its not a bubble!!!
I would be the same if I had all of that stuff
Rudys slow decent into madness is the first sign of the holidays.
I like to think he works part time as a Mall Santa.
He sounded like a genuine sage to me
Rudy, should I open it? Or Should I keep it sealed?
😂😂😂 at this point I'd keep it sealed ....😅😅
You should open it because you will lose your binder if you dont find all the cards in 25 minutes
Keep it sealed ffs - the episode would fill a whole decade 😂😂😂
Sealed for sure
Keep half sealed and rip the other half while entertaining us haha. Also, I blame your thumbs
My 500 pack opening vids are filled with comments saying I’m the reason why people’s kids can’t get product, didn’t get that for the early SCVL sets.
We are so back
I am so balls deep in Pokemon that it will take King Arthur to pull me out.
2020:”stay the course”
2021:”to the moon!”
2022:”printing machine going buurrr”
2023:”winter is coming”
2024:”I told you so, stay the course”
2025:“Im too old for this shit”
Waiting for the 2025 t-shirt
i still have my stay the course tee 😎
I'm in
Imagine sitting in the drive thru with Rudy hoping all waffle fries are accounted for
9.2/10 Folks, really energetic and enthusiastic but it was a bit late.
Omg we need a commentary with a voiced rating of each folks. Love these intros
When ever rudy gets 10/10...i call it the bull market top 😅😅
"AND HE'S OFF! "FOLKS!"
Rudy the Cardboardman, never missing a beat! That delivery? Short, sharp, and with a punch-like cutting through cardboard with a clean slice. It’s electric, it’s powerful, and it's all in!
Rudy’s got the crowd hyped, and he’s not slowing down!
Back to the studios!"
BGS 9.5 chair: Exists.
Rudy: and I took that personally
One Piece and Pokémon is about to take off 🚀 Sword and Shield era is getting older, Scarlet Violet some products are slowly starting to be sold out and New pokemon sets coming is crazy!
hope you got some of those sweet silver tempest booster boxes at PC before they disappeared, everything is going to go OOS, even battle styles 🤣
151 reprint coming, prismatic evolutions, battle partners AND TRAM ROCKET coming in 2025 is insane
@@zzz-nu2re if 151 reprint doesnt come in huge size then many of you are in trouble lol imagine not having a 151 etb or UPC in your collection
@Pokepanther15 the 151 reprint is blooming waters and i believe japanese are going to be booster boxes
Costco is canada has 2000 units of blooming water for almost all stores @Pokepanther15
Rudy's house is actually surrounded by cases of product and its an elaborate maze he hasn't figured out yet.
Folks!!! This was a 11.69/10. Rudy throwing a BGS 9.5 chair added the perfect flavor of duck butter
Intros are looking more and more like a cutscene before an Elden Ring boss fight
I like that you mention that when a market is slowly and gradually trending upwards, it’s much more healthy than sporadic upward movements and gaps. Also the thrown boxes are like sprinkles, they make it even better! 😆👍
Just come here for the, “Folks.”
I rate today's folks a 9.3/10. Holly shit he did it again
Going for a third jump scare folks in a row!!! What's that meme? "It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him". 😂
Roc, we are going to start needing an object throwing rating. Sincerely, The Timmys :)
I have never felt more seen.
Sincerely.
An actual Timmy.
Now that laugh is the cherry on top of old school Rudy Christmas present!
Lorcana is already dying around my area within like a 3 hours radius around me so just tossing that out there.
This is how Force of Will started out too in my area booming and then dying a few sets in...(yes the FoW reprints did not help it)
also the chair is a glitch in the matrix keep throwing it.
I'm going to ask my boss for a raise to offset the increase in pokemon products cost rising. It's now the cost of pokemon instead of living raise 😂
This is because of the pokemon tcg mobile game that launched thats bigger than any hoyoverse gacha game. All my friends play it and they haven't played anything pokemon related since pokemon go came out. This is bigger than any gamefreak pokemon game release by far
Not just that, every collector is a reseller
Thanks for the content! Really helps to have a more in depth girthy view of what's going on 👌
I don't even play or collect any card games, but I find these videos fascinating.
I do love how much thought you've put into this! You understand the workings of markets to a point that it's become very intuitive for you,and inturn makes you very very good at explaining and working you're market's nitch. I'm glad you're successful! Alot of hard work has obviously went into your chosen passion and it shows. Inspirers me really!
I thought we were in a massive recession and people couldn't buy eggs.
They can’t buy eggs because they spending all the money on shiny cardboard
What are eggs
Surging sparks in Australia people are asking 350 aud a booster box now
Holy shit
Card games are establishing themselves as a secular trend in gaming/entertainment. As long as that continues numbers go up. I’m sure one day people will get bored of it again but turns out card games provide a very versatile array of entertainment value and people are digging it
Great comment
We're currently in a new product bubble, as a lot of people look for places to diversify crypto and debt market gains.
The vintage markets are pretty much the only ones that aren't overinflated, especially Silver and Bronze Age comics, but they're starting to gain traction.
Agreed! There's literally no disposable income among average Americans. Just massive credit card debt. Once the economy crashes, all these speculators will be begging to sell, and you will watch the market crash. Think postage stamps in the 1980s.
Easy on the chair. It looked like a reasonably decent chair. Nothing worse than looking for a chair.Then you look at that chair...in the garbage and say fuck. I could be sitting down right now😢. but I shortened the life of that chair.. This maybe a year or sooner. Just like Pokemon. You never know!
Great intro, love the throwing things ❤
Please raise your camera good grief 😂
It looks driving with your visor down
Lower. Giggity
Nah I like the chaos. I’d be okay if it was crooked and looking at the floor.
P3n is
Pen15
We may see the biggest boom in 2025, crypto bros will be taking profits on the way up and Cardboard is one of them.
Best camera angle
0:15 watching on repeat...
Is Rudy so scared of losing that hairline, he's not even keeping it in frame
Rudy has become unhinged with elation at this point lol. Appreciate you Rudy! Do your thang!!!!
We all know Rudy forgot he uploaded the same video with the same talking points on Nov 24, 2020, Jan 31, 2021 and Mar 26, 2023. He finally did it, uploaded the same video just replaced some names of the sets that were talked about, added some new boxes to the background.
People don't want to hear this but a lot of the UB rares are underpriced. Doctor Who, Warhammer, Fallout. You can pick up surge foils for pennies for cards that Wizards will have difficulties reprinting comparatively.
Rudy leaving a secret message in arm hair
Good to see Rudy going crazy, Now show us your Pinball collection, TACO MAN!
19:44 our new president
Pokémon and Chronicles of Arcane is what I’m buying. Loving Ponchos artwork in COA so far ❤
Rudy I love your videos more and more everyday. I haven't finished this video yet typing early but I already know it's goated.
Been here since 2020 :) love the videos . I stayed the course :) keep it up Rudy.
50k investment about to be a 100k investment real soon
What bamboozeled me was looking the one ring prices on ebay.
Yo, listen up, here's the story
About a little guy that lives in a brown world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just brown
Like him, inside and outside
Brown his house with a brown little window
And a brown Corvette and everything is brown for him
And himself and everybody around
'Cause he got youtube to listen'
That was the funniest intro I’ve ever seen on a Rudy video 😂
Thanks for the deep explanation from an industry veteran. I am new to reselling over the last year and am happy to hear about the outlook from a veteran who I have watched for many years. Keep them coming!
Dear Rudy, i watch your vids episodically past 5 years, one thing to say : you became more and more crazy :D
bro i just learnt more about economics here than I did at my 3 years of university.
Chair toss gets a solid 6.1. You did a good job with adding to the meme that no one will get in 3 months, The chair did not land right side up when flipped so that lost some points.
Rudy def reading the comments about folks rating and chair dropping lately 😂😂😂😂😂 i love it so much!
really enjoyed this camera angle
Today's video summary: Rudy is pleasantly surprised by his patrons' girth.
Holy shit thats a proper Intro
Just wanna say THNX for your Videos 🙂
Bull Market so high, Rudy can’t fit his head in shot
now my laptop smells!!
I sold my laptop for sv01 boxs
I love how he said (u don't know me I'm Evil) listen when someone tells u who they are my friends. He only cares about $. Not about any of these games. Period.
0:59 - 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The growth incredibly seems organic - fueled by content also of course. Vintage dipped and is still pretty stagnant. People want the new stuff rn, might be a “golden age” of cardboard
“Girth. I said that.” - Rudy probably
I just got back into collecting because of the 151. Invested a lot in 151 (a little late), got sucked into the hype and started collecting surging sparks and pre ordered a lot of prismatic evolutions not knowing how difficult it is to actually complete a set because of the scalpers … I can forget about completing 151 now because I’m not gonna pay those prices and support those scalpers
I’ve been here for a year. 90’s kid.. My daughter and 151 brought me back. How expensive opening packs is what got me into selling parts of my collection. Watching you and Alex has got me into sealed. But, now I’m trying to grow and honestly I have some stuff that appreciated nicely. Some great deals I found over the year. So, I let some stuff go at the start of this bull market. But, here I am with a psa 9 bubble-mew I bought for 60 and I just can’t let it go. I mean of course there is a number… and of course selling for my collection has turned into investing. But, ultimately I’m just trying to build from my initial investment. It’s a small number I’m a small timer Timmy. But, I’m no longer putting my own money in Pokemon. It all comes out of my collection/investment… I just want to say thanks to you. You have been one of the steady voices I come to for reassurance.
No violence against booster boxes please.
Loving these Pokémon videos. Also loving the Mutley laugh. 😂🐶
Edit: Wait 90% of all money has faeces on it? If you'll excuse me I need to go and put my money in the washer dryer.
What do u think Rudy.. will the new TCG of Riot be a big hit and will u buy the first limited box that comes out?
“The smell that surrounds youuuuuuu”
It never seemed normal to me that modern Pokemon booster boxes were available for so much cheaper than MSRP (while still available at the Pokemon Center, obviously). Do I want to buy cheaper product like everyone else? Sure. But I think that what we are seeing now with all the hype is just market correction. MSRP is the new normal, we were just spoilt with cheap prices in the past few years. Rudy is 100% correct, FOLKS! P.S. I don’t condone scalping, I’m just a regular collector with the purpose of growing my personal collection.
THE GREATEST TACO BUBBLE IN HISTORY
Lmao this dude is entertaining
He also looks like a white Laurence Fishburne
Do we get a sealed case of Rudy’s basement chairs if we send in 150 chairs for grading at PCG?
Meeeee! I am the guy who played Pokemon as a kid and now am in the hobby….yooo the charizard figure is what got me in…it’s funny that I feel like maddddd people got in at that same time.
Yo I'm loving it. I still have lost origin. Brilliant stars. Celebrations and vivid voltage let's go
68 dollar blow out on CR and FS and not many people even bought at that price point in 2021/2022...
0:25 new thumbnail pls
Thank you for the soft folks at the beginning 🙌
if you can check i think ive been watching since 2018 or 2019 something like that. I just enjoy the common sense chat and outside thinking than the norm the box openings the purchase vids of old magic is fantastic and yeah i just enjoy opening boxs. Always have always will so thats with fam but due too your common sense chat my son in law since 2019 started putting a pokemon box and a etb away everyset. And just chucks in a tub and goes in my shed for the grandkids if and when they are born and turn 18 if cardboard is still strong in that time great if not i wont know i will be dead. Great vid as always mate
Early SV sets were tanking because it was so easy to pull everything and complete the set. There was more stock than needed. Pokemon company fixed all that
I can see the bubble keep rising for another 3 years and maybe the final term of presidency the bubble will pop. So will crypto.
Be interesting to see who Trump anoints as his successor.
The last 7 mins is bang on imo
Someone is cookoo for Cocoa Puffs!
Did you just say rip n ship wasn’t a thing in 2021? 😂 it was massive. Don’t disagree that it might be bigger now… but it was massive.
Rudy should i sell or run up more credit card debt
The Chair-Vinchi Code! It has been found :-)
I'm here to see what Rudy is pumping
Best folk's on TH-cam
How can I buy from you some Pokemon cases please
As much as it pains me to say that the prices going up is a good thing, as I am somebody who prefers to open product rather than keep sealed investment, it is a sign of health in this market. For me, I’ll just continue to seek out my favorite sets at the best value and continue to rip!
Oh man he got me with the somber Folks again!
Then bam!! Chuck Norris ‘Folks’ and chair throw in your face…
10/10 for me
6.420/10 The "folks" has become repetitive and derivative. Throwing chairs was the meta of 2024. Weeks away from the New Year fans hunger for more, more variety, more enthusiasm, and somehow more FOLKS!
When will OP05 return to its previous high in prices?
what is "SV02 BST EN"?? sv02 is PAL EN (paldea evolved), BST is Battle Styles from sword & shield era.
I've been here the entire time brother.
I remember seeing you hype up matazoo 1st Ed. Cryptic nation at $300 a box bought 6 opened 3 left 3 sealed for long term got up to 1k never sold then it dropped. I still never sold. Then I waited and watched seeing all cheaper slabs and promos I never could afford at $15 graded psa 10s bought a bunch. I think it will come back cuz so many don't. Hopefully I'm correct or I will be holding matazoo forever my kids or grandkids will have to figure it out 😂
I love the background- a pile of depreciating paper
I thought Scarlett and Violet was dog trash at first as well, but I still bought a few boxes of each just in case I was wrong. Glad I did!
Just food for thought, you prolly dont rly care about twitter but when u send those messages from toilet to your mail, maybe get a smol tweet going so more ppl can absorb your knowledge and dont dive head first into the hype ❤ Thanks for your guidance, I will be with you when the next dark summers come 😢
I gotta land a lightning bolt and a diamond. I keep getting outbid.
