[@GamingTaylor]

"Who ships like this, I'm refunding this shit" to "Wow this is incredible I can't believe the condition of these cards!!!!"

[@eartianwerewolf]

hahahahahahahahahahah

[@chiseler151]

otherwise you wouldnt believe this is just a random box opening

[@chiseler151]

it's almost like it's impossible, and would never ever happen

[@yugiohpokemon5285]

It's staged but.the cards aren't so it was really just the beginning was for entertainment purposes

[@Aaron-sv4zx]

As someone who loves buying random shit like this from Craigslist and Facebook, this turns my floppy taco hardshell.

[@the3031]

Rudy at the start of the video: >This a scam , gonna get my money back Rudy at the end: > Nevermind , i keep my garbage lol

[@magicalyincorrect6143]

Wow.... thats gonna be insane money in 2035+ ....half ur retirement in one ebay buy there Rudy...

[@lefthandtheory]

Pulled out from GF to watch Rudy

[@MTGUnscrewed]

@PartisanGamer by GF he meant "Good Fist" ...his other fist is already blown out from attempting to revive his floppy taco

[@Addrum]

Pulled out from floppy taco to watch Rudy

[@nathanlourie2898]

Go back from whence you came

[@MLKshit]

I think he meant grandfather.

[@chimpy666]

he deff meant Grandfather, probably balls deep in the old bloke....Rudy comes first.....giddity

[@LightYwins]

this is the true definition of "one man's trash is another man's treasure"

[@Scorch428]

yeah but what do you do with that man 50 cent cards lol...

[@MTGUnscrewed]

my taco just went rigid!!!

[@MTGUnscrewed]

Ok it's getting more rigid again ...

[@johndeckard6592]

Hmm, wait, NOT rigid? I'm confused.

[@MTGUnscrewed]

HAHA John..good seeing you here :) NOT floppy I mean :-P

[@Starfury117]

You mean your taco just went "hard" ;)

[@MTGUnscrewed]

Starfury117 😂 same difference

[@Plowzan]

I'm a minute in and I'm giddy over how sketchy the packaging is. It's like Christmas if Santa were named Timmy.

[@CaptainSauce]

These old sets are just too perfect. Can't even imagine what you must have had to pay for this.

[@PhilShary]

In fact, Rudy, artifacts were never common until Mirrodin, WOTC thought that being colorless is already a huge advantage so they made them harder to get and underpowered in many cases.

[@TheRusty]

Untrue! Antiquities had common artifacts - Amulet of Kroog, ornithopter, Grapeshot Catapult, Dragon Engine, etc. Though these rarities carried into reprints (mostly; Dragon Engine was a rare in 4th/rev, ornithopter an Uncommon) artifacts *did* stay in the Uncommon-Rare slots... until *Homelands* - Roterothopter, the clockworks, serrated arrows, and Ebony Rhino were all common. Alliances had several as well, such as Soldevi Steam beast and the Phyrexian War Engine. Weatherlight and Tempest had a handful as well (Metallic Sliver and Lotus Petals being obvious examples) And - just to be completest - while TECHNICALLY it was a U3 rarity, Arabian Nights' Brass Man was exactly as common as the dark mana symbol commons and mountain (C1). *BUT* as pertains to Legends; Yes, all uncommon+Rare (Relic Barrier and Life Chisel, technically U2, but still uncommon)

[@RetroNostalgiaGames]

Some recent sales of these legends commons sold for about $135 in psa 10 condition and listings in the 50-100 range for the 9's. Rudy has enough money to buy up all the rare arabian nights and legends rare's on the market but he chooses not to because he is a gentle kind ruler. Thank you Papa Rudy ^_^

[@grannorbe6452]

Imagine if the card bent on the first box had been a Tabernacle...

[@JasperJanssen]

Tabernacles weren’t bulk in 1994, either.

[@mrivera6975]

Jesus. I just had to look at the title. my metal gear is solid.

[@AoiKaze2000]

... unless it was made of mercury or gallium... wouldn't it be solid at room temperature anyhow?

[@butterynugs7629]

Mercury would be liquid. Gallium would be solid until you rubbed your paws on it.

[@jamesmabby9279]

Rudy Recap "who ships like this!?" "there's no way that's common" "look at that artwork!! thats incredible" "are you guys seeing this!?" "that's got to be reserved list" "this is insane" "i know for a fact that's not common" "i think i have every _________ in existence" "ah we got more walls, i used to love walls, they just uhh" "look at the condition just wow" Read each of these until 32 minutes and 56 seconds are up and you'll sound exactly like Rudy lmao

[@ColtGuthrie]

Alpha Investments Drinking Game Part II: Take a shot for every "Can you guys see this right now!?" as Rudy jams something into the camera lens.

[@terryfeynman]

Dude that could end deadly

[@McJohnGill]

Take a shot after "look at this ART!"

[@Kaynos]

Storage Wars value : 250,000$

[@eXdXgXe4life]

It would be $250,000

[@IamusTheFox]

Do you say, "dollars two hundred fifty thousand "?

[@Hephaestus_God]

Yes

[@providence8398]

pawn stars value: 17 cents and a piece of string.

[@tygonmaster]

@@IamusTheFox Mad foreigner alert.

[@mrrandomassduck]

Best thing I've ever seen come out of Oath of the Gatewatch packaging! XD

[@dictatorinperpetuity]

RUDY KICKED THE FUCKING BOX!

[@ravieundap1871]

These came from a time traveler. Returned to 90's, bought bunch of Legends boxes, took out high valued cards, returned back to current time, saw Rudy, and ships all these cards to him. That's the story.

[@MannyMarvel]

Ravie Undap My first thought, my second is they sat on unopened boxes then opened them and took out the high value cards then sold the rest to Rudy.

[@LopsidedMoz]

Yo I plan to do this but with pokemon cards, just gotta find a flux capacitor

[@cg3868]

Returned back to current time? the 90's were pretty awesome.

[@paintballgod33]

The amount of cards in that condition is truly special. I wish I could find deals like this, lol.

[@Johnwlol]

This video was amazing. I absolutely love old Magic cards, especially the artwork. Wish you would do more bulk buys of old stuff like this. Good stuff!

[@EdibleGoblin]

Watch Rudy try to guess which card is a common for 30 minutes.

[@NoLessThanAGod]

This brings back a lot of memories. It surprises me that you aren't as familiar with Legends Commons and Uncommons. Those friggin Landwalk enchantments and mass color change cards were the bane of young NLTAG's pack opening origins.

[@ignaciogallarati7287]

Hey Rudy we just drafted one of your boxes with our friends (Leandro Quintana patreon). Ill like to thank you for the trouble that you endured due the shipping stuff.

[@Chukijay]

Rudy, if you're interested I have thousands and thousands of revised/unlimited cards in the same condition these cards are in.

[@DJTMANE]

Im interested

[@dswagers808]

still have them ? lol

[@lvlupxplorers404]

I'm in a similiar boat. Did you ever get yours sold?

[@asburycollins9182]

you play back in 93?

[@lvlupxplorers404]

I started right when Unlimited and Arabian came out. I think I started around Christmas that year or maybe Jan 94. I'm working on a deal to sell to Rudy now since he's not too far a drive away.

[@stephanmathys62]

"I'm assuming they're all common cards of no value." Meanwhile, I check Sylvan Paradise as of December 2021 and see that it's going for between $8 and $12 on eBay. Yeah, it may be common or uncommon, but apparently there are people still interested in collectibles. Never underestimate the power of emotion. Rudy made a bundle off this purchase.

[@themisprintguy]

First off, there are no commons on the reserved list, period. Second, seven uncommon stars are on the uncommon sheet twice. Third, there was a widely known packaging error in which a box (in most cases) only had half the available uncommons. They are known as "a" and"b" boxes and you can find the full list online... many people when cracking boxes consult it. Crack one pack, know what you might get in the others! And Karakas and Mana Drain, they are in separate boxes.

[@truenewsglobal]

themisprintguy wasn’t there a buyback program for people to exchange the cards they have for different ones if they opened too many of the same? I tonight that Legends was part of that, but could be wrong

[@danman1012]

Lol first off there are 21 common cards on the reserve list. Learn your shit. Second lol mapped boxes aren't new? You are shit at magic my dude.

[@ftw4twcs]

I watched the entire video. Next time please mention what condition the cards are in. thanks!

[@XavierGranville]

As a guy with a very small amount of Legends cards (50ish), I loved this video, seeing so many copies of some of the cooler old cards I have. Man I miss walls too. I think it's why I keep the Walls of Hope in my Selesnya deck.

[@XavierGranville]

OH MAN! So many Volcanoes! I have two, and love that card.

[@unsltr]

Someone recently pulled all of the money cards out(including the only two money commons Darkness, which only recently became money, and Chain Lightning), saw that their original box looked half empty now because of the missing cards, and shoved the rest of the bulk $1 and less commons and uncommons into the nearest boxes they had. I was going to suggest user CCGHouse on TCGPlayer, but they also have lots of cheaper Legends commons for sale, along with the only seller selling large amounts of Darkness and Chain Lightning. They were probably sold off immediately following the picking-over of the boxes, around (SPOILER ALERT) the Oath set release. But, as long as you are happy, Rudy!

[@Koboldfunnywow]

Justin S explain this comment

[@millibillionth]

That's a good explanation.

[@truenewsglobal]

Were you the seller?

[@Dohyden2]

during the mix up Rudy you out a Princess Lucrezia in a Sivitri Scarzam pile, Yes the artworks are very similar.

[@4ksandknives]

I watch this video from time to time with a chicken burger in one hand, and a floppy taco in the other hand :)

[@vegasus4503]

I am not surprised by the condition, i bought a box of legends. Opened it put it in a sleeve folder and never played with them. They are all still in mint condition. Although i didn't get Moat or Tabernacle. I did get some other rares like Mirror Universe, Invoke Prejudice, Neither Void, The Abyss, as well as tons of other rare cards. Not sure if i should sell them now or wait till later? I haven't bought anymore since the Ice Age Expansion sets.

[@Canadiandawg]

That miscut Atog is money.

[@SK8R43]

no it isnt...

[@antsparaco1083]

yeah, totally isn't, money is green???

[@sonofchlar6144]

Ant Sparaco facts. It’s a common mistake though.

[@ReederMadness]

The artwork is absolutely amazing. But the context just makes it so much better. Taco went full meaty.

[@blackmagicbarbering1100]

Awesome video! Brings back memories when I was a kid.

[@matthewbryant2972]

had a customer find one of those fuzzy legends Giant Strength in our 25 cent commons stack next to the register and the dude thought it was a fake

[@EvanMMoon]

This video for all of us in Florida, who played magic as a kid, and wanted to crack a pack of $40 legends, but settled on trading in for some shitty duel land. You bet the clerk at the magic shop watched you sift those binders as you apologized for needed to grab another binder, secretly just wanting to almost touch the cards, but that's a secret.

[@havok240sr20]

The borders looks off, I bought some old cards from someone and mixed in them all where old stuff from revised and legends and the borders were slightly off. Not sure if they were fake or not

[@freddythockman9450]

Rudy, if you didn't know the Rathi Berserkers you have are actually Ærathi Berserkers. The printer was unable to print the diphthong in the card name and just left the Æ out. Love your videos and hope you learned something!

[@ClicketyClack]

Ligature, not dipthong. I remember opening a couple of those back in 94 or so and wondering WTF was up with the card name.

[@vintagetechshack]

Hey Rudy, at 32:38, there is still a card or two in the box on the floor. Awesome grab!

[@marcmarc1967]

There are tons of Uncommons in there. Basically the piles that had around 50 cards are C2, the piles around 25 are C1, and the piles of around 10 are Uncommons. Unfortunately, all cards worth anything have been removed, even the commons like Chain Lightning, Darkness, Avoid Fate, Kobolds of Kher Keep, etc.

[@CommanderReplay]

The art and flavor from Legends was amazing. I wish they would go back to artwork like this.

[@tomfrasiko4056]

the evil eye and egyptian mummy go together so well you are just missing the unholy strenght with the 5 point pentagram and some card with a pyramid on it

[@Cosper79]

i have one set of Legends commons. You just got like 99 sets. These are the purchases that give you the tinglies!

[@magicdigest970]

Might be pretty cool to put a bunch of these in a big frame all out in a grid to show off the art in the new store. Considering they're in such great condition it would be so cool to display all of the old artwork to the new fans.

[@drunkmtg2264]

How do you pick the cards off the glass with no fingernails?

[@free-mtg-stuff406]

Drunk MTG Magic.

[@cyberneticthezero]

"I have never seen such duplication" Creepy Rudy Confirmed.

[@Beerpowered]

Those are bulk duplicates that you can buy at a shop/Ebay/Amazon for $15 per 1000 "Assorted" Old Common/Uncommon Cards. They promise minor duplicates but its always a bunch of them. None of them are ever worth much.

[@Vorusen]

29:45 "no ones going to watch 30 minutes into the video" HAH JOKES ON YOU

[@fuckingimpossible]

Thank you for going through these man. I really enjoyed getting to see such clean and unplayed relics of their time

[@rodennis418]

That's how I used to do my extras. Got me a bump if I traded in commons as they were already sorted and easy to put straight into stock :)

[@Shadowh8ter]

I don't even play magic videos like these are why I'm still here. Love the videos man.

[@jackal242]

They are commons... from Legends.... $0.00 value.

[@maxwellschultz4784]

A buck a piece.

[@OffMyGlass]

With all those cards, it is amazing to see the difference in color in a single card.

[@jstandards766]

From -10,000 to +1,000,000 real quick lol. I'm happy for you!

[@oshinoedan5666]

29:44 HMMM, sneaky Rudy callin out the professor when he thinks no one is paying attention...

[@erin2673]

I'm going to tell Tolarian what you said about him.. -- and you said nobody was watching. WELL RUDY, I'm watching. Well, I watched. That's a lot of cards there. Hope you make a good return on them! :)

[@brandongreco5014]

brings back alot of good memories,back in the day it didn't matter if it was a rare or not.Every card was great.

[@jezmanurfan1266]

3:45 "were going in. giggity" hahahaha

[@mythoughtsonblank5769]

I'm 18 tomorrow and will finally be able to experience Rudy's floppy taco cards

[@Infinidisc]

I basically do this with every set. I buy a box of it, and a fat pack. Open them up, look at the cards, pull out some to help build decks, and put them all in the fat pack to be stored away. Maybe my cards will look like this later on in life. :)

[@tonys149]

pretty much every card in that is a quarter. pretty fun but there is only like 10 commons in legends that are worth more then a buck, havent seen many in the collection, still thou dude, i started playing in 94 and this vid made me happy thinking about the old days playing those cards.

[@fireballmx]

I like how he says he hates when people flick the cards down onto the table and it messes them up... yet he's flicking them down onto the glass @ 10:00 mins in :(

[@xzysyndrome]

Dont forget the metal gates for the front. My LGS was involved in a smash and grab last night. They cleared out all the magic and pokemon.

[@4ksandknives]

This is my favorite magic video right now, can't stop watching this.

[@mm3andersen1]

I miss the old borders

[@nebulamask81]

Man I remember using those fire sprites and tinder walls to cast surprise fireballs, good times.

[@spidy2806]

You should do a follow-up video where you make a statistic of what you got and how much you can probably sell it for! Because I checked here in europe and the cards that I checked while watching were worth 2 to 15 cents..

[@iJizzmyPants69]

I have seen people just dump 10,000+ commons in a box and just ship.

[@corndolf]

Legacy Patrons Deal of the Month on Complete Legends Common/UCommon Sets ;) I'd buy

[@free-mtg-stuff406]

Shay DaMan YES!

[@free-mtg-stuff406]

Shay DaMan YES!

[@discrtidunkwn]

Shay DaMan that would be awesome

[@tonycrawford8934]

Ruby, you should make a collage for each color using 1 of each common and hang out in the new shop!!!

[@kendogva]

Love the wonderful iconic art of legends and antiquities. I still have a few of each of these from my Collection

[@timothytaylor3491]

All of the Legends gold cards were uncommon; that's why you only got 4-8 of them, while the vast majority of the single colors were commons. Also, Reserved list applies only to some rares and "uncommons" from the smaller sets like Antiquities. For example, the Citanul Druid is on the Reserved List while Crumble is not.

[@crush3146]

I've had so many of these cards in my hands back in the days, when me and all of my fellow friends used 2 think they were all crap and now u come up with this video 😂 It was so good 2 watch, thank u Rudy 👍

[@ackarmy]

If your selling on eBay for 99 cents, after eBay's fee, PayPal 2.9% and $0.30, and $0.49 for shipping - you can only be making 10-20 cents per transaction. How is that even worth it? You should make a video explaining that.

[@crucialblue]

I want to make a play-mat with the Silhouette art on it. Tough to find that old art in high-res, though.

[@schwabsauce]

Congrats on a solid purchase. I'm a little surprised you want to sell them. I know they're not investment-grade yet, but in that condition, they're a special collection and cards don't get much older than that.. Sell them for $1 now? What would be the return over 10 years?

[@steffensgary]

you need to make a green screen wall of little green men with the aisling lephrechauns

[@nickneff6926]

when you poured the first box out i was like ohhhh my holy god

[@jimapostolakes9830]

i wish magic still looked this good.

[@jimapostolakes9830]

No, it's pretty much fact the new art is recycled yugioh anal-evacuation.

[@jimapostolakes9830]

see "young pyromancer" and tell me its not yugioh art.

[@MatteoSpreafico79]

Check at 16:20 the 7th card in the wall of heat is not a wall of heat

[@charms1vp]

Wow that was like a trip in a DeLorean. So many good cards. 1994, good times and great memories with MTG. Thx for that!

[@xLuk3x]

rudy's trembling hands make taco not floppy anymore great video.

[@joemcmahon5131]

The giant strengths are Double printed, giving it a hazy look. Facebook MTG Oddities group would be interested.

[@PoorGamingHabits]

5 years later WOTC finds thier own stash of "lost" Legends cards and sells them for $200 a card

[@JonDavidOrr]

Bulk opening drinking game: Drink whenever Rudy says: "The condition" "Look at how many cards" "This packaging" Good luck.

[@deltablaze77]

Three liver transplants later and I only have 26 minutes to go.

[@prestongrizzard6416]

That is crazy! Way to go Rudy! Another excellent video. Your enthusiasm is infectious!

[@xaer0knight]

that was an awesome video to see. I remember helping friends do this back with Mirage and the Odyssey block, fun times. I only bought boxes 3 times in my life, Champions of Kamagawa, Original Ravnica, and I want to say Tempest

[@barath4545]

So this is basically a case (10 booster boxes back then, like your Ice Age case, right?) of Legends, opened? Super interesting, but daaaamn 1/10 for shipping.

[@williammah1605]

best video ever. brings back lots of memories for me. i recognize a ton of these, but never had nearly this many.

[@paulziemba7890]

this brought back memories of diving thru commons boxes

[@axey7476]

This is flippin amazing!

[@Jaarnriel]

@8:18 Oh no somebody figured out how to "dupe" irl XD

[@jameswhitcomb4773]

Why do I enjoy watching this? Am I that in love with this game?

[@MTGUnscrewed]

where the hell is creepy Rudy?!?! what did you do with him ??

[@us4rnam4]

Didn´t catch, the condition? is good?

[@JOtupp]

i think he is amazed at how bad the condition of these cards is..

[@riftech57]

Yep watch the whole thing!

[@beanpot]

I bet it feels like cards from a mass box opening of legends a few decades ago that have just been stashed and never seen light until now

[@Ottawa3453]

That miss-cut Atog is going straight on the bay :P
