Just bought 2 commander decks and 4 packs from a local store, broke the seals myself, and there's variation in the coloring, feel, and light penetration from card to card. Especially the foils, light just doesn't go through there. The ripping or bending in half "tests" are horrific. If I went somewhere that opted to test my card by bending it in half like that... cool, you've proven my card is real, but destroyed my card and disqualified me for having a now-marked deck. That's pretty bad, and I'm gonna need some compensation there. ... That's like offering to cut your opponent's deck then bending them in half to riffle shuffle their cards, then slamming their cards on the table. You owe them an apology and frankly should replace that whole deck.

This is so helpful, I have a binder of mtg I want to sell and I am glad I got this info to tell the difference from both. I wouldn't want to sell the wrong cards to anyone.

holy…BURSXH

Nice RG! subbed

Before watching this video, I'm guessing this ends with a "Holy burssssshhhht!"

I got lucky in 94 or 95, made a deal on a Alpha pack and a legends booster,traded 10 Shivans for it,and a few sol rings,plus like 300 bucks... Didn't hit anything big,but opening those,...I'll remember it forever.🥰--Then I passed on a beta mox ruby for 60$--like a idiot.🤪

lol people wearing gloves to hold a mox sapphire? LOL!!! I had all the moxs and black lotuses and more. I never used card sleeves and I shuffled like normal cards. I quit magic because of fallen empires set. I came back for a bit but permanently quit (and later threw out all my cards, yes moxs/lotuses and all) when sets came out what seemed like every other month and the STORY died when planeswalkers because useless wizards instead of the gods they were.

One time I played a swamp, dark ritual, dark ritual, black knight, black knight, unholy strength

bro, teenager times band for me. as i lay dying :D

Dominaria: so you’re saying there’s a chance?!? 😂

Man, what is must feel like to crack packs of alpha.

I just recently got into getting mtg cards, I impulse bought the 2024 festival box despite seeing complaints about it being over priced. After all the mystery packs, the first card in the first of the three collectors packs I opened was a confetti anime Rhystic Study. I didn't even know what I had until I was cataloging it and saw the value lmao, I was just stoked I got such a pretty card that seemed really good Gonna try and get it graded soon

so you ahve to EXTREMLY LUCKY to make money of booster packs got it dont bey old pack ore new cas you wating money got it

The Cheez-it scene at 4:00 is horrifying.

I buy mtg cards off and on the last box I got was a Jurassic park set and I pulled 150 dollars worth of cards out of a 40 dollar box. I even got a welcome to Jurassic park holo on the guaranteed rare holo card individually wrapped in there

KOT was so easy to pull fetch lands that their prices went under ten each. Just like UL and Yawgmoths Bargain.

I haven't played mtg in roughly 20 years now. It's so weird to see what cards in old sets that are still coveted today. Some like Tolorian Academy makes perfect sense, but Gilded Drake? I suppose there's some crazy combo with it these days :) All I know for sure is that getting back in to MTG would cost an absolute fortune lol. It really has become a rich man's pass time.

I opened a box of Forgotten Realms and got 3 dragons (one alt art) literally ALL of the commander lands, and a $15 land from the List. God Box

people who gave shit to the player who took the tarmo are totally stupid, anyone in that position would pick it, its a straight up okay thing to do and totally understandable. Anyone saying the player was a shame to the community would 1000% have chosen that card without hesitation.

Shout out to paymoneywubby opening the oldest packs around in the past year

I’m sorry “is now light - med play?” if you sold me that card and called it light play i would be very upset

I feel so stupid selling my unlimited near mint Black Lotus 11 years ago just before the prices skyrocketed 😢 it's life I guess.

I STILL DONT KNOW WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER? REVISED OR UNLIMITED?

I keep all my tradable or expensive cards double sleeved, in toploaders, in a sideloaded GemLoader binder. Can't let anything bad happen to those puppies.

Cool content, thanks. And thanks for the high res card images on screen. God bless. Jesus loves you!

unban it so i can use my 2 altered art DRS again!

Seeing homie have an out of body experience when he pulled the Lotus was magical

I love seeing fellow Coheed fans.

68.16 USD

ESG compliance kills any IP, not even considering the ridiculous pricehikes disguised as inflation and reprints. I sold my collection, it is clear anything cultural is purposefully being driven into the ground. Entertaining is no longer the goal, everything is becoming a vehicle for ideology and demoralization which completely breaks immersion and escapism. Atleast that is my humble opinion.

8:39 that just dude came...

Found a channel that got to see the actual black lotus painting in real life. It was in transit. Crazy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGHYkoGEm8dkrJYsi=D4KKTx6LmbYI4mbA

thanks man im just starting to collect cards and this has been very helpful :D

Black lotus from that edition with a dagger. Imagine we went to a local tournament, and there was not enough people. So who ever came, we chipped and bought a booster pack. Winner gets the rare. And the rare was black lotus….

the most expensive card to my knowledge is the TBLS (Tournament Black Luster Soldier) from yugioh, its a 1:1 (maybe 1:2 because its assumed konami keeps a extra copy of all cards in a vault), this card right out the gate was sold for 2mil over a decade ago and is priced even higher now, basically the TBLS is THE most expensive card in existence and will likely ALWAYS be the most expensive card in circulation/collection. and the thing that really sets it apart from The Ring is the sheer fact the TBLS actually means something, it was a first place prize card and its made of stainless steel and not just some random collab cash grab.

Dude said he's ready for his submarine ride 😄

The Black Lotus made it into the World of Warcraft at launch, they were very valuable as they were used to make the most powerful potions. (...and they look a lot like the card)

Pretty standard across all assets though.

Here from 40k as there is a themed commanders deck. Spending some time researching I have no idea which version of the game I can or not play with my cards and what all the different cards interact outside of the commander format.

Excellent analysis 👍

You are one among the fence! 🫡🫡🫡

Convinced that most card buyers are using it as a front for drug money.

Old Magic player here and I started playing when Urza’s Saga came out. I wasn’t a great player so I ended up collecting the entire block sets for Urza’s, Mercadian Masques, Nemesis, Prophecy, Invasion, Planeshift, and Apocalypse. I got out when Odyssey came in. Every card. I used to have EVERY CARD. I’m kicking myself for selling them. I think I got $700 for all of them at the time. Never take financial advice from me lol

Ive watched openboosters open that lotus 100 times

Anyone know a good commander to run with the full set?

and now we had a tabernacle on TCC channel pulled

God Pack seemed kinda fake.

Dude the random walks with the binder Goin all over the place ..a classic "our brand compared to the leading brand" like old school.infomercial

stop doing that with your hands

So basically this video is "Rudy opens boxes on video". ? Hahahah
