No one understood a word until that visor came out. Now it's all so clear!

When the visor comes on you know its serious

When Rudy puts on the visor, you're about to get wiser

This is the man who sold the most chocolate in school

I see the visor and the whiteboard, then I click. That simple.

Holy shit secret dinosaur

This is the most important video because Rudy’s Mom finally let him put up a whiteboard in her basement.

FINALLY THE WHITEBOARD IS BACK WOOHOO

I was today’s years old (after 6 years of watching) when I realized Rudy is left handed… that explains it all!

Until no one wants the set and the amazon algo decides the box is not selling and gets firesold for $200. Then hasbro profits drop 50%

I love how the visor retains all market signals being absorbed and conveyed by Rudy's Hair.

Need to buy one of those visors to wear when I pay my bills

I really appreciate the Fallen Empires boxes up the side of the whiteboard… the real over printed set of all time 😅❤

RUDY HOSTILE TAKEOVER OF HASBRO LETS GOOOO

Waiting for a follow up video for "Royal Caribbean Cruise" video from 4years ago. Thank you for the pink visor videos, these really are The best 🎉😂

I love that hes using aa ti-83plus

Metazoo's art looked like it was made by a 5 year old. Their demise was inevitable.

My kid says Folks in unison with me. You can teach your kids Magic. I’m teaching my kid Rudy.

Cynthia won! Now a box has 12 packs and sell for $325 that was $80 with 36 packs

Whiteboard, visor AND a TI-83!! The title wasn’t lying!

I don't even collect cards but you are an absolute stud, Rudy. Love checking in every once in a while & seeing how things are going. Wishing you nothing but the best!

A vid representative of Rudys tool set that does not go much beyond technicalities. He reminds me of a stock market analyst not knowing fundamentals, just looking at chart movements, thus seeing Hasbros hope in manipulating sales channels or new card variants.. More interesting discussions are around if WOTC should go back to blocks, thus able to pool creative resources for three sets, instead of frittering them away in single set products like Karlov Manor or Thunder junction with no appeal to get bought, or serialized cards or which other IP to be integrated in a Secret Lair.

I had the video playing in another time but I knew the "Awhhh that felt so good" was him putting on *the hat*

It Saddens me as a 47yr old Man who began playing MTG since it first came out i collected since the beginning .... back b4 my dad passed away in 2016 my entire collection got stolen people broke into our home and stole not only my entire MTG Collection worth a lot of money but my G1 Transformers and G1 Gi-Joe Collection among other things. we had everything insured EXCEPT my MTG collection :( till that day i never bought 1 single or pack of MTG since. i just can't afford it.

Finally! A long learning lesson video! Thank you Rudy!!!!!! This is so awesome!

Love you Rudy! ❤

"I'm a mitochondria with little fuzzy legs" was the best line in this entire lecture. 😆🤣🤣

Finally, another whiteboard and banker visor and/or frolf hat. Guide me, sensai.

If one party controls all the supply consumers get wrekt? Shocking.

I’m going to have a hobby shop (tabletop wargaming, RPGs, etc) one day but I’m going to do something crazy… and minimize the Hasbro products I will carry. But I have an idea on how to get around that disadvantage.

RUDY DROPPING THAT FREE EDUCATION

You can know the print run when jou know the average pullrate of 1 serialcard x the total amount of availble serial cards.

The one rudy to rule them all, one Rudy to find them, one Rudy to rob us all, and in the visor bind us

Please do more of these videos as you can. They are very much appreciated.

This is the kind of content I come to this channel for

It's midnight on a Saturday, I can't get jiggy wit this.

but will amazon necessarily play the long game so to speak? is it generally accepted that amazon buy prices will stay stable?

270.000 were packs or boxes…?

Folks!!!!!!

Isn’t this just what we’ve been trying to tell Rudy?

Oooh these kinds of videos are the best from Rudy

It hurt to watch him take the visor off D:

put on the visor, put on the visor, put on the vis.. YES!!!!!!!!

Just realized Rudy is left handed. Good for you Rudy

Unsinkable Titanic huh, sounds like a Commander idea for Universes Beyond feat. Jack and Rose.

Homer: Number go up? Marge; Print run's too tight for number to go up. Homer: Number go up?? Marge: Ehh sure... Number go up.

I waited so long for this! Did X-mas came early this year?

Thanks for another solid vid, Rudy. In my mind, the next most prudent bottom-line moves for Hasbro would be two-pronged: First, begin printing 9/10 basic lands, 4/5 commons , 2/3 uncommons, and all tokens on the cheapest card stock possible - black ink lines on white backgrounds - don't even bother printing on the back (assuming sleeved play), rather creating something recyclable or even compostable. This would draw down the cost of resources going into cards (of which the majority are ultimately destined for dumpsters) while simultaneously increasing the scarcity & value of the 'rarer' commons/uncommons printed on regular stock. It'd also increase common/uncommon trading, particularly at the LGS level. And it'd 'coincidentally' have some real solid environmental benefits! Second ( and this would support the first move in a two-pronged attack), it'd make sense for Hasbro to move into the sleeve market and begin packaging prerelease sets with them, increasing the prelease set prices to compensate, while also selling these sleeves as a direct competitor to the other manufacturers. This would allow them to produce a tailored sleeve that would better mask any difference between the new B&W lands/commons/uncommons, and the regular prints. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Hasbro owns any of the sleeve companies in play. Just my thoughts - I'd love to hear you weigh in on this.

Thank you for another pink visor video!!!!! ❤

Does this apply to any companies product?

Been holding off watching this but its always a treat when you've got a whiteboard video...I spent a day few years back watching everyone you had uploaded at the time back to back. Always appreciate the lessons and your optimistic attitude, have for sure made me a more hopeful person. Cheers Rudy and looking forward to the next one!

Man had the visor out, I'm going to preheat the oven for my lesson on Tendies!

I clicked on the like button for the visor, and i must admit, the secret passage dinosaur. Thanks Roody

Fallout is the best MTG investment I’ve seen in years. Wizards fucked up this allocation 😢

Come for the Magic, stay for the finance and tacos.

ABOUT DAMN TIME, I haven’t understood word on this channel in so long!

Thanks for the insight homie

Will this work with less desirable IPs?

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.

the visor is back!!!! let's goooooo!

thanks. sounds like things are work out

you have explain it very good to me. thank you for you effort.

Yes

Great vid! Thanks Rudy

Only thing in this world thats important is tacos and the 3.69% ladies

A finance video that mentions learning from mistakes... Framed by Fallen Empires boxes. The irony is appreciated Rudy.

Thanks Rudy for this information continue the good work

This reminds me a lot of the Chewbacca defense.

Well the secret dinosaur explains the smell of my cards lately. Seriously though, good break down Rudy. Cheers

it’s called the secret amazon dinosaur oquation! brilliant! 😜😁👊🏻

I have often wondered what the cut is that Amazon take though off the top? So distributor takes $30. What does Amazon take? Surely it has to be more

why is every one a comedian in the comments section?

I felt alive when Rudy put on the visor

An excellent, insightful and entertaining white board video Rudy. Well done sir

the moment he put the viser on

Rudy mentioned that our society doesn't accept failure. Not sure if this is reinforced in our education system where I don't remember anyone going over with me why I would fail, just that I did. While the lessons were retaught what wasn't gone over was whatever method I was using to implement what was taught (not sure I'm being clear). Was listening to a Chael Sonnen video and something he said really struck me. I'm paraphrasing, but he said that "we are taught that failure isn't an option. Of course it's an option". I don't think we are taught how to come back from failure. Just found it interesting.

Rudy, Enjoy the content. Out of curiosity what is your estimated net worth?. Thanks and keep up the great content.

If the print run is halved from what Rudy mentioned at the start of the video, doesn’t that throw off the serialised card calculations?

Pluto is not a planet. If we say Pluto is a planet, then suddenly there are thousands of other objects that also become planets, and now we're overprinting planets, they become common, and life become too short to look at them.

Maybe I missed something, but it seems that the reference between print run numbers for packs vs. boxes are mixed up in this equation? Reference: "Sup products - individual, one little collector pack hanging on the shelf in your local bog box store" ~3:00. If referencing packs, wouldn't that mean that the 240,000 would be divided by the number of packs in a collector box to get the total number of collector boxes? These would be much lower numbers, right?

To get to the core of it: That model is entirely based on the psychological reception of boxes being scarcer than they are, based on LGS not receiving as usual. It also worked without amazon before, remember Time Spiral remastered? At the beginning it was severely bottle-necked too. But with amazon they can surely manage it better, adding only small restocks to keep the prices higher than they would be if LGS got these boxes for the ~$190 to sell at around $220 or so. I don't know, are we as customers too dumb to see through this after the first time? For Fallout it surely worked out excellent for them as we didn't expect it. But now as (some of us at least) got that glimpse behind the dinosaur, will it work again and again? My lazy prediction: Smart people can do pre-orders again at their LGS and lock in those prices, e.g. $220. If the vast majority of boxes then moves to amazon to be sold at $300 they can be happy to have paid less. Does that make sense?

Is this the end game business model or do you think they'll eventually push out all LGS?

If only I could get a line of credit on any amount of boxes.

love it. I also want to add an idea into this. I think one thing we forget is that people want to open packs, and play these cards. I think part of this is tied into to this, and products that have terrible play-ability, will show up in market flux. I rarely buy sealed product outside of 1 pack here and there from store credit for event placement. i find it so hard to justify as a player buying into sealed product especially when you get mucked, double master at 20-30 a pack with a total of 4 bucks in rares....hurts the soul

Visor man should paint whiteboard on canvas and sell it for Timmy.

White board AND the visor?

You omit that if card prices fall, and you buy them at that low price, you don't care if they hold value given they cost 50 cents to a few dollars. The game piece army may just want to play and can't afford higher priced cards thus, falling card prices allow them to buy the cards in the first place. If you buy a commander deck for $500, you care if it gets reprinted into the ground because you lose hundreds. If the entry price for that deck is $50, tanking card prices are not a problem since you lose $25 dollars and you can afford to buy the deck in the first place.

PINK. VISOR. VIDEO! LETS GOOOOOO 👏👏👏

Rudy thank you you are a genious of entertainment. I loved it when the product started coming out of the dino's ass. You're funny but also you are so right! We need to have a laugh even our assets are on the line! Thanks and all the best!

pink visor video has made my day already and im only 2 minutes 15 seconds in.

16:29 It works because LGSs have weak hands and need cash flow. This causes a downward spiral in pricing as they fire sale boxes. Of course, they need to fire sale boxes because WOTC is pushing out too many products too soon. Producers have always targeted distributors. Unfortunately, LGSs will have to figure out a new business model.

Today I tapped my mc flurry and casted a 5 dollar footlong with bacon. Bacon is like haste but you sac it at the end. My win condition is 11/11 pair of Nikes with grip. Grip is like infect only you sac it at the end. Hoping for universe beyond presidents edition so I can build my Abraham Blinkin etb deck.

The problem with constantly raising the P. and reprints becomes "spending today is less valuable than spending tomorrow". Without FOMO the consumer can step back, relaxe and have a nice conversation where their money goes. Less impulse buys means less money for hash-sis.

lately i've been running into something ive never seen before (30 years playing in game stores) . new game stores opening up and not selling wizards of the coast products.also existing stores no longer selling magic cards or running events. i think this is becoming a new trend which i find very interesting .

If there isn't a close up of your crochet at the end it feels like I'm left hanging lol

Popped for Electronics Boutique

Rudy still fighting the good fight for Pluto! The hero we need.

Really miss the white board! Rudy, King of the cardboard satire 😈

By the waters of Babylon, we lay down and wept, for thee Fallen Empires. Tfw tower of babel is built too vertical.

I’m so stoked to see another white board video! These are my favorite content you make man, keep up the amazing work!
