-$10k with a smile!

To be fair, it’s closer to 60/70%, besides the exaggerated numbers you’re practically correct. That being said, having access to that kind of liquidity when life kicks you in the balls can come in clutch. I’d say he got about 80ish to 70% of his money back, depending on how good of a deal he got on these boxes. I’d say Rudy “wins” in these situations, but he doesn’t really sell any of it. All in all I hope the seller was able to get the cash needed to get him/3% her situation. Hopefully it was a house buying situation and not a medical emergency, I think we can all agree to that.

@@FamousJX You know what's really liquid when I need liquidity? My index funds and monkey market account, you know, actual investments not children's game pieces lol.

remember metazoo lmao

@@NN-pe6ip With all do respect, why are you here? There are other Content creators. We all have our real state investments, stocks, bonds, Roth IRAs, and mutual funds, even some crypto and precious metals. Your point quite literally has no merit. It’s undeniable that those options exist, however we choose do diversify in this way because we think it’s fun, different, and nostalgic. Some people relate better with collectables and nerd media than other “investment” options. To argue anything, would simply be stating the obvious, (place all investment funds into the s&p 500 and wait 10/20/50 years). It’s a sure thing.

Buy in now before the rush. Easy money has already been made

Still don’t understand how he has less than tolarian

@@Reformed322 timmies

for 7 or 8 years now rudys content hasnt changed whatsoever meanwhile tolarian has more diversified and casual friendly channel, im honestly suprised rudy got to almost 400k by just screaming about inked cardboard for 8y

just wait it out and buy the dip.

Exactly

That is because no one actually cares about playing their pokemon cards, they are almost exclusively for wall art.

Won't be forever though!

Jokes on you i bought 2 new capenna draft pack for 3.33 each and pulled Xander's Lounge and Otawara Soaring City a few days ago. I will never have luck like this again

@@nobodyxiii3792 how did you pull Otawara from SNC draft?

@@EastToWestTCG brainfart both packs were 3.33 each. I got 1 draft new capenna & 1 draft neon dynasty both had good land pulls

Is that $189.00 shipped?

​@@MTG69 it was $567/3 boxes shipped. I believe Rudy only offered a 3 box option, but can't remember exactly.

How have things worked out for you? Is it worth holding? How much are they worth now since when you initially bought them?

Some things have gone down, but mostly up. I think of Aether Revolt as a god example of up. SOI is another good one 😊

😂

WHY??? LOL

No, most likely not

Yo

Closet, safe, under the bed, etc

I keep a lot of my stock at my girlfriend's boyfriend's house. Very nifty.

@@KrepsyK I currently have 2 closets full of video games and collectibles and my extra room aka "dungeon" is getting there

Don't forget to flatten your boxes. The cards are already flat, you're mostly storing air if you don't!

I can watch it for 15:32

No shit? People don't sell collections in full for profit, genius.

@@CGoody564 who said its someones full collection? People sell at profit all the time?

@@skrufy11 He stated that it's from a collection buyout like 20 seconds into the video.

His collection overstock prolly

@@skrufy11 it was a collection buyout, he literally says so. BuyOUT, meaning buying everything. You really have no idea what you're talking about. Otherwise, this would just be a typical purchase. This isn't a collectors overstock. People sell their collections at a loss when they have financial issues, or at an estate sale/auction after one passes away. No one sells collections for profit UNLESS they're complete, or there is something significantly special about it that sets it apart from a typical collection.

Feel like people who buy the older sets want the opening experience of that set for whatever personal reason . Or keep it sealed and display as a capture of time. Each set has its own story to tell as far as what everyone thought at the time or so and so pulled serialized card that one time. It’s a memory to have and maybe open one day or if some emergency happens and need quick cash can sell to friend or throw online. Having an asset on hand typically earning $$$ over time is better than having cash in the bank and losing to debasement and inflation. NOT financial advice 😂

People enjoy drafting old sets. You get a whole night to experience the set by drafting and playing and you get to keep the cards for your collection. Think about drafting even a $500 box with 7 other friends. Thats $62.50 for a whole night of entertainment. Thats still cheaper than going out for drinks at a bar.

Nostalgia combined with a unique limited draft format. A box of Tempest Exodus Mirage all around 2K a box, imagine drafting that with your friends- the experience itself is priceless forget the cards individual value we are going back to 1997!

Its you.

he's hoping some mtg fan billionaire will buy his stuff one day

I like the set. Many of the cards work best in a sealed environment but there's a few commander cards. It has some interesting color pie bending cards too.

It's fun as hell to draft, I bought a couple cases and my draft group rips a box every 6 months. It's Harry Potter in MTG!

Shit flavour cool cards

love the scroll card arts. bought all of them. including replacing all y demonic tutors. those arts are so fire

Both

Cheaper cards is good for players. I hope the speculators stay in Pokemon

its people like u that are ez to get got bc u think negative ev boxes means its gonna have more value in the future its just not how it works if the cards inside are worthless so is the box

​@@RLGMiniMe it would seem the implication was to buy and crack the box to open more value than one spent on it, then sell the singles for profit... E...V... Right?

if you have to ask you cant afford it

Oh no the consequences of my own actions!!

@@Mactakun but he pumped it so much, made it out to be the next big thing... Now I can't afford my house payments!

@@Aventurier24 If you need the money you invested to pay bills then you were stupid to invest it at all. NEVER invest money that you need to live, only invest what you can spare when your expenses are already dealt with.

@@NunYurbisI think they're kidding.

There joking forsure lol

Throughout and at the end of the video he addresses it in subtextual language. Basically, buying and selling sealed product for profit, especially en masse, is not advisable because it's difficult and unpredictable.

He doesn't trust bandai

​@@KrepsyKYu-Gi-Oh is Konami

He even says 50-70% face value based off ebay sold listings

Final Fantasy will .. thats the only new set I'll be purchasing.

​@@michaeledwards1644 Not a chance buddy not a chance

Time for your anti depressant medication

Everyone is so caught up with the new thing no one buys the old stuff aside from investors. Even if it's something nostalgic Wizards will reprint it (Ravnica Remastered).

Good, I want cards to play with my friends, not to sit in my garage

pitiable*
