[@Molimo95]

great box, dude lost only 90% of his money instead of the expected 95%

[@lanevisual]

So true. Its nice to see an Box opening. You can never geht the value in cards.

[@TopNotchCock]

You’re not thinking about the fact that they’re pack fresh tho. If Mox Diamond or Sliver Queen grade 9.5 they’re worth double to triple... who knows if they grade 10

[@Illusive1313]

The Mox is good enough for grading and could easily hit PSA 10, or BGS 9.5 and it's at ~1,300 to 1,500$. So, if he hits a good grade on that one, he made money.

[@Mentally_Hilarious]

@@Illusive1313 I don't know where you get your prices but a 9.5 Mox Diamond is only worth like $500 to maybe $600.

[@blastbeatindustries3191]

Guys, you grade all 36 rares and any decent uncommons at the bulk rate of $8 per card.

[@cameronjames3499]

"He sent them all off for grading and they came back as 9.5s" -0.5 for Creepy, Sticky fingerprints confirmed.

[@TisBoiGoTSkiLLz]

Man.. The art on this era of cards is so beautiful.

[@Gezumo]

Oh man, Rudy, thanks for this video. I am from Uruguay and with some friends we used to import Tempest block booster boxes from the US. Such fond memories from the late 90s, Tempest, Stronghold and Exodus....the Weatherlight Saga. Amazing sets and now they are so expensive!

[@jonathanbaago5312]

This is how I remember magic from when I was a kid. Good stuff. Love the art and flavour. Took them out and just looked at these for hours

[@austinwilburn1772]

"Bandage, I use to be into that kind of stuff." That's a good joke.

[@Bloodfire83]

My favorite part of this video was finding out how much my Stronghold cards are now worth after 20 years.

[@DanielHernandez-zu5vv]

Gosh Rudy. You were just a kid hoping and praying for good pulls. The excitement in your voice is so genuine, so pure. Nobody can question your love for Magic. And after an 18 year hiatus, I’ve fallen in love with this game again because of you. Thank you.

[@justink5207]

I love watching the opening of these older sets!

[@kareem_da_ream1916]

The first pack I ever purchased for $2 back in 98 was Stronghold!

[@mindustrial]

For weeks Rudy has these Stronghold boxes in the background. Very nice advertising ;)

[@7Alberto7]

Ooooh i love the travelling magic phone intro everytime so much💯😂

[@JohnDoe-tx4vi]

We need odorama for these old school openings, thanks for the show Mr. Rudy.

[@Mana_Thief]

LOL Omygod I absolutely love Goblin Rudy's laugh @ 10:45 XD

[@reedhumperdink9004]

Rudy has gone nuts

[@liquid-slick]

I replayed that like 6 times lmao

[@adamlovely2101]

The first pre-release tournament I went to was Stronghold. Revenant was the promo card everyone received. Dated February 1998

[@DailyScratcher]

And now we are at core set 2020 prerelease

[@clelvis225]

I haven't missed a single pre-release since the Tempest pre-release...have every promo from then to now(well, until they stopped)...I may have played them at lots of different stores, in lots of different states...but no matter what I have going on in life I make sure to clear the calendar that weekend...

[@JoeCamarillo]

“That’s not a giggity” @13:00 plus. （笑）Rudy, keep on entertaining!

[@JoshyBoy219]

Thanks for this video! It really takes me back.

[@franckmeissonnier9442]

That angel used to have some hype :) love the memories though. The patreon has my respect :)

[@bartenderbobmtg9809]

Funny thing. I won a Stronghold lot on eBay that arrived today. I was watching this video as I was going through the cards. Love this set also. Great times..

[@Theprivatepsychodelicreel]

I remember I and my friend would buy a guy (it was a babagges store cashier) a Big Mac meal from twice a week and every time he would give us a box of stronghold sometimes two in exchange lol ! We had like 12 boxes each lol

[@madzod0076]

I love seeing old pack like these and seeing the old art. Only started playing recently (almost a year). Hoping to find an old kamigawa fat pack as that would've been the set I would've started with if I chose magic instead of yu gi oh as a kid

[@BarHonigfeld]

Maaaaan, every time you open a box from that era I get reminded how much nicer the old card frames were. It was a shock to me, when they changed them in Mirrodin and it is still a shock today.

[@Illusive1313]

C'mon Ruby! You should put cards that are grading material in sleeves...

[@moxavenger]

Notice at the first Sliver Queen excitement Rudy carefully put the stack down rather than with his usual stack slam.

[@TopNotchCock]

Nice! Pulled every reserved list card in the set, albeit there’s only 7!

[@GRat9717]

Friday afternoon, Rudy, Stronghold box. Seems good.

[@smey02]

0:52 wow what a nice cut animation HAHA

[@serdiegito]

Best era for magic..... Thank you Rudy for these gem videos,,,,,,

[@akaiappears]

That sealed Alundra disc. I heard the town music when I saw it.

[@NateBullock-ow6on]

Nice all 3 big hits! Best stronghold box i ever seen 👽

[@Frankje01]

Sold a Stronghold box a few months ago to a friend right before the sliver queen spike and he opened 3!!!! SLiver Queens (and a Mox and Bridge)

[@iticklechickens]

I really need to go back and look at all my old cards. I have a Mox Diamond laying in my bedside drawer, and had no idea it was worth so much.

[@vanillaice7749]

Getting excited about a $9 card in a $2000 box. What a time to be alive, boys.

[@carlorobles202]

Who would unlike a video that could hold a mox diamond, the queen, ensnaring bridge???

[@foreverfalling6925]

Man, I watched the other Stronghold box just this morning.

[@mattminnick9310]

Love the Rudy slow roll. Look look it’s a color.....it’s a color I remember!!!!!!

[@aiden9607]

Love these old box's

[@fallonnizzi2489]

Do you have any new phyrexia booster boxes???I've been looking everywhere for one

[@joechamberland2274]

Got a box of stronghold when it came out and I also got two mox diamonds and two sliver queens, it was epic.

[@valakutis]

Ah my old high schooll days, D&d and mtg. I actually had a spike deck growing up.

[@Ealdain]

I went to the stronghold pre release in Indianapolis. think i still have the card they gave out somewhere

[@isaacoddo5704]

Anyone else notice that the pack with Hidden Retreat has two mana leaks in it?

[@honeyhorse4597]

This video had me giggling so much. The original burger king and porcupine comment had me laughing

[@BareBeautyBodypainting]

$620 - Swing and a miss! Try again next time Mr. Harper!

[@darksideinc8889]

First booster i ever opened was stronghold with a mox diamond. I traded it for 2 dark ball lightning. I still have them, but they are almost white bordered now

[@DommyXMommy]

Oof

[@yuwish6320]

Oooooh, that Working Designs Alundra game box. I have that for Sega CD. On topic: I remember buying stronghold booster boxes at my local game store for 90 USD. Back when merchants would give you a discount for buying an entire booster box.

[@chrissudlow8638]

Change of heart is one of my favorite art works

[@BarHonigfeld]

How much plays draftability into the price of sealed product? Is it better to invest in product that people love to draft?

[@PsyShinobi]

Art is great in these old cards, despite most is carbage. I wished I had seen in future 20 years ago when I quitted magic and sold my cards away. Had couple sliver queens and moxes that time, but propably sold them cheap :)

[@chumpypoodle]

I remember when this first came out i attempted to make a licid deck.... ahh the memories

[@OstegoAmigo1]

Rudy on every other pack: I FORGOT THIS WAS IN HERE!!!

[@TheAborrecco]

Rudy I love your videos so much, you are fantastic and always keep me entertained :) p.s your brown eyes are on point

[@adambandurak8913]

Holy crap...$2000 now? I member drafting this.

[@walter9231]

Rudy: dose old box opening Welcome to the jungle stars playing in head Wet little Timmy’s pants: wack

[@n0isyturtle]

I've looked into my crystal ball and saw Rudy tearing into a box of Future Sight. The Gods have spoken, and so it shall be.

[@dragonofthesky9999]

a couple of the spikes are actually massively played. i got the fog one sitting in my atraxa and its like 15$

[@georgeasimakos1744]

Rudy has the best freakouts

[@CeilingPanda]

I was watching some of your old videos and you said you were working on Patron rewards to EU, is it still impossible to get patron rewards to EU? :) I'd honestly mostly want the Signed card, I can pay shipping as that's a problem :)

[@-RTC-]

The pack with hidden retreat had two mana leak in it. Weird!

[@jkcv_ncrew]

how old is this set, like from 1998?

[@jaredmorgan3665]

The Rath cycle was amazing

[@Trisket]

Wait, did the pack at 7:55 contain two Mana Leaks??????

[@namoric]

and two hammer heads I think. nice catch

[@Jarppispecial]

The only thing I miss about the 90's is MTG and PS 1 games. :P

[@loganmarshall5414]

I love you Rudy never change

[@jean-christophedancause5587]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who got it: "Bandage. I used to be in that kind of stuff".

[@not-a-theist8251]

Got it too😂😂

[@PaulissVegan]

i need a full playset of tidal warrior from this set :D

[@adolphus28]

the uncommon Constant Mists is the best uncommon in the set and just behind Burgeoning in value.

[@andykapsar4667]

i say this every time. that vesuvan doppelganger mat is gorgeous

[@guldarheel1204]

I knew someone that loved making thrall decks.

[@michaelschuler2711]

When he pulled that mox diamond he was like my precious

[@joshuahoops9430]

Not bad he got back like 400 of his 2000 he spent and only got to watch a video of it being opened well worth it!

[@RygartARTB]

The Mox Diamond is almost twice what you say he got back alone.

[@m.f.634]

We need more videos man... you can´t have holidays, you are too deep in this! WE NEED YOU! Yesterday you added only 1 video :((

[@Buchaus]

Hopefully this is as good as the last one, but I doubt it

[@thomaslindsay2311]

I did enjoy the video.

[@janloydllorada868]

I wish Rudy will open a The Dark booster box

[@jd6220]

I love these videos

[@jonathanbaago5312]

That Flame Wave art 🔥

[@howgamer365]

Thanks for the reminder that nobody but Rudy buys 20+ year old box that only grandma is oiling

[@Wuderify]

i started playing mtg with stronghold and i didn`t know what is a rare or uncommen lol

[@GoodMorningHikers]

i'm watching this while drafting a box of Tempest with friends. "What year is it?!"

[@hobbsenddestroyer]

Ordinary Psaecho my favorite set!!!

[@joshuahoops9430]

I’ll place an order for 1 8oz bottle of vintage card smell please thanks!!

[@chrissudlow8638]

I have a few sealed copies of alundra....i've been collecting forever....my favorite sealed video games are the neo geo ones....you should check those out if you want to diversify...i also love sealed sega saturn games

[@Meowmeow.age.6]

Wrath cycle is my favorite. I member these days.

[@golddragon1123]

"This is an old box" no giggity? I'm upset Rudy..

[@chrisrhome6638]

The pack with Hidden Retreat had 2 Mana Leak, that was awesome.

[@PaulissVegan]

yeah i saw and was like 'wow that can happen'

[@adamdarrar121]

Im imagining the person who bought this box is watching and is literally peeing himself every time Rudy slows down for the rare 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥

[@nateholt429]

I've pulled 3 mox diamonds in my day and each time spike solider was in the uncommon section

[@johnathonhiner3015]

I love the self created hype....."Rolling Stones....such a good rare".....Gullibility is a very very priceless stance. If you buy this box and open it.....you gain absolutely nothing....but if you believe Sliver Queen is $250 you have worse problems at hand.

[@returnoftheduelist9790]

When the other had 2 damn mox diamonds and 2 sliver queen, you cant assume the boxes will all have that. Anything mox and im in

[@ProphetZMTG]

Hey at least you got a couple of constant mists which is 8 dollars a piece

[@sirhamalot8651]

Spike Feeder: my favorite cards eva!

[@leonardotecchio8419]

Best art in magic's history. wow

[@fionncaomanac339]

Rudy isn't moaning as much as he usually does with these boxes.

[@bennettniizawa7200]

Ah man, more Friday night booster draft flashbacks

[@marciomanzano6391]

Wow ..i have one sliver queen , i need more 3 to close my collections all slivers , but so expenseve, it costs too much in brazil..=(

[@MTG_Brewzl]

I need that queen so much

[@Jellypope]

8:00 2 Manaleaks in the same pack? Hows that for a double tap?

[@antonwittmann5515]

Uff whats this?

[@zackschilling4376]

Thumbs up for the sealed Alundra

[@xaer0knight]

All those tortured existence commons.. One of the more expensive pauper cards ;) every card counts!

[@michaeljacobs5216]

Don't know where Rudy get's his prices But Sliver queen according to TCG player it's going for 175 not 250 but still great pull

[@Luxorcist]

Yo Alundra is such a dope game, i wish theyd ramake that in like HD2D or something
