xD 😆 100% value growth in this set as of 2021 lol

[@peaknonsense2041]

Once someone of reasonably high intellect knows enough about anything, they're generally able to reason out a range of probable future outcomes with relative accuracy because they see past the 1st, 2nd and 3rd order of consequences or beyond of the data they have with the knowledge they have. And when I say intelligent, I don't mean educated. I'm not sure of Rudy's education level, but if he has higher education, it's because he needed it to get his foot in the door in his previous career. He's intelligent in spite of his higher education if he has it and would have been successful regardless because of his intellect and work ethic.

[@Noqism]

I think the main problem with people new to investing is that they think you only have to buy 1-2 boxes of one particular set, sit on it for 6 months and expect an easy 500% return. This video did an excellent job at showcasing that cost bases, acquisition routes, diversifying your position, time and scale - all play a vital role in proper investing, resulting in actual profit. Yes, there's always a chance that in X years these boxes will become worthless, but there's also a chance that in X years a meteor will flatten us all. Risk is part of the game and absolutely nothing in life is Guaranteed™.

[@Cosper79]

I use the 'meteor falling from the sky' all the time in response to people worrying about trivial things that will prolly never happen.

[@ragingdwarf]

At the moment all I can afford to do is have one box sealed sitting. But that's fine by me. When I get to the point where I can get more, I plan on it. This video is great proof that even having one sealed box is a solid ROI, if you're patient.

[@vaderwashere365]

Thank you for the video Rudy. A good job showing a reasonable cost basis of $81. But how did you not factor in the risk free rate for years that have past? At 3% BFZ is actually an adjusted cost basis of $90-$95. Not everyone factors in the risk free rate, or an even higher borrowing rate, but you have to if you want actual costs and profits. A few real world corrections to just the Ixalan example that can be applied to most of the boxes discussed (full disclosure, I am in Corporate Finance and my license is active): 1) Booster boxes of Ixalan are all over Facebook for $80-85 right now. You only have to buy 1-2 to get that price. 2) Or if you use Card Kingdom's buylist, which is easy to find eBay cards for a profit, you get +30% and the booster box is $90 per. Let's round that to $70 before tax and shipping if applicable. Shipping is only $10 for me, but assuming further away might be $15... again, with store credit that is only $12... so $82 real world money if you use the buylist and less if you buy multiple boxes, as shipping per will decrease. 3) Boxes of Ixalan are up to $95 on eBay right now because of the 6% and 10% bonus eBay bucks that have been active over the past week or so. Meaning without these bonus bucks, the price should be around $85-$90 on eBay at best. 4) Also, unless you are shipping a ton at a time or have a corporate shipping account, most of us can't get out of shipping and fees for under $15... eBay alone is $10%, PayPal 3-4%, and shipping is $5-10. So costs for most people should be more like $20, not $10 lol. 5) Also, fees are usually a % and shipping will go up, and there is 3-4% inflation that should be factored in as money today is worth more than money in the future, so $10 for shipping and fees in 2-3 years is really stretching the truth. It would be more realistic to be $30 in fees and shipping for the Ixalan box. 6) Rudy is speaking from his perspective, not the 95% of sealed speculators/investors. 7) If you are a Patreon customer that purchases through Rudy, you have to factor in your monthly subscription into your base costs. 8) Investing in sealed product can be good, but you have to be realistic about it.

[@ChipHunter3]

Would be nice to see a quantitative analysis for yearly returns looking at all sets going back 5 (or more years). If you used your more realistic numbers, what would the rates of return for the 4 examples Rudy discussed actually be?

[@vaderwashere365]

@@ChipHunter3 Yeah, I think you can def make close to the returns Rudy discusses, but you would have to get volume discounts at purchase and warehouse 100s of boxes from each set. So I wouldn't know storage costs as those vary widely by geography. Then you have to figure out how to slowly move 100s of boxes without flooding any of the marketplaces. Most of us might hold a few boxes or a case or two. Also, depends on how many you ship per sale... did some one buy a case from you with no price discount (highly unlikely)? So if shipping 1-2 boxes per sale, I don't think you make a profit on $81 Ixalan at release, that really costs you $90-95 at time of sale in 2021, unless you can get $115 per box without prices being skewed by a 6-10% ebay bucks promotion. With shipping and fees (~$15-20 per box), that is just above break even. That is only vanilla sets like Ixalan, you can make more profit if you would have preordered Ultimate Masters, Battlebond, Conspiracy 2, or a set doesn't sell well and gets popular (Innistrad) or something like that. That will bring up your average if investing similarly in every set. So still a good alternative investment, but hard to recommend an unregulated investment before you have protected investments. Even if you don't trust the government, they are semi-protected and probably a safer bet than WotC/Hasbro and the MTG marketplace. Edit: I only buy a few boxes to a case of every set, because I actually draft with friends. I hardly get to draft more than a box or three of a set b/c of all the releases over the past 3 years. I have tried selling sealed product that I haven't been able to open from new-10 years old. I usually have to sell at eBay/TCGplayer prices less 10% to sell locally and avoid fees and shipping. It is almost easier to sell the newest release or two than a 3-7 year old booster box (more niche than Rudy talks about). I see tons of Facebook marketplace posts for older booster boxes at 10% below eBay/TCG prices that just get reposted over and over. Again, this is all a hobby for me, but it has been easier to collect, store and sell singles than sealed product to make the same profit %.

[@TheHighwayVideo]

I’ve watched this at least 5 times in the last year. I’m going to have my kids watch this. They are 11 and 9. I want them to be this aware of reality.

[@Just_Pele]

I'm a sealed Magic investor, but there is a very real problem with it, especially dealing with newer sets. Yes, eventually the prices go up as available inventory dries up, and eventually it will become attractive to start moving your boxes after 5-6 years and your Dominaria boxes have reached $400... but then the 100s of other sealed investors see the opportunity as well, and they start trying to sell them too, but the market is simply too small for sealed Core 2019, GoR, Rivals, and even Dominaria. Then, as more product is suddenly available, the few dozen people who wanted it are satisfied, and to sell more you need to drop your prices, because you're also competing against all the other sellers too. So you must decide; drop to $350, or even $300, or wait for another year, or two, or three. I'm just not sure that current or even Bronze Age MTG is going to ever be like holding Golden or Silver Age sealed boxes, now that there's a plan and so many are in on it. For instance, I did see Amonkhet boxes climb to $300 briefly, and then 20+ sellers came out of the woodwork and the price dove down to $240 after a half a dozen boxes sold. There's a lot out there, I personally have 16 cases, but I also own a shop and do sell them, both by the case and the pack, and I can just slowly move them. It's fine for me, but online it's a different situation, and the hold time to fully realize the returns you envision could (and likely will) be longer than you imagined. But hey, I could be wrong, I'll admit it.

[@Jorthax]

If you list higher than everyone else, it might sit there longer, but you made more per unit than the people undercutting you. The supply is finite and you hold a higher market share for everyone who sells early or cracks it.

Great video, the only thing that would concern me about owning huge numbers of boxes is liquidating them though. It's not easy for the average person to be storing/liquidating hundreds of boxes.

Hey Rudy, I was lucky to get a single piece of power - a mox ruby. I have had it for over a year now and it’s increased in price quite a bit. I traded my storm legacy deck for it, and only did so because no one played legacy at the LGS’s I went to. However, I recently moved. I lost all of my casual fun decks bc of UPS and I’m still going through the claims process. Luckily I kept my lottery cards/reserved list/power with me at all times. I was very upset and nearly let go of my collection because of silly emotions. I got lucky again when I stopped myself from selling out. I started watching your vids again and it helped me keep my head in the game for the long term. I hope to get married in a few years, and I hope my power/reserved list portfolio will help with a ring hahaha. I don’t plan on investing or speculating on cards, but I’m happy your advice and guidance kept me from making a mistake.

@Alpha Investments Rudy, I'd be really interested to see a video on volume. These numbers are very impressive, but what is your impression of the market stability and its ability to absorb someone offloading these boxes in numbers to make 10s of thousands? Is the demand there to shift volume like that 3-4 years down the line? Are you careful to avoid offloading large numbers of boxes within short periods of time to avoid localised market slumps/value deflation due to our good old friend supply and demand? As someone who has never even picked up a Magic card in their life and enjoys your videos for the finance/investment angle, I'd love to watch a long video with your take on that side of the business.

The problem with this is that investing in liquid markets is so much less time and effort consuming than investing in sealed product. My dividend income portfolio takes about 1 hr of my time a week, yields %6.63 anually, not to mention the value of the underlying asset sincreases %5-%15 anually on avg. I can get similar or better returns investing in sealed magic but with far less liquidity in the market and a minimum effort equal to a part-time job. Not to mention the space required to store the product! Your math is right and the principal is right but it certainly isn't for everyone. I think this video is much better for people who want to make serious income on sealed product and are willing to put a lot of time and effort into it. I choose high end RL singles for my magic investments because they take up no space and are something you can "purchase and forget" for a few years.

izalith 6 pretty reasonable response. I can sell 10k worth of Microsoft monday through friday any time. 10k worth of Yu-Gi-Oh! ? Could have to wait months or a year and the buyer could not get the item because of lost shipping package or I could get scammed by the buyer

I only stayed to watch him throw the marker.

What about cost of storage? Most of these products take up space and need an overhead to be held on to in any large quantities. Do you factor that into the equation? Also - what do you think the difference is between these sets causing such a large difference in the return?
