Where does rudy get his prices? 150 -160 per box? You can still find them for less than 120. Cards prices aren't near what he says they are. He must have the memory of a goldfish.

P.P. Md here! Thanks for the opportunity Rudy! Thought I would take the wife to pound town, but it turns out she opens Battlebond as well as I do. Entertaining video, will definitely have to sponsor another one. Keep up the great content! p.s. I pulled a pair of Foil TNNs when Battlebond first released. The wife claimed one for herself and traded it for a the Planeswalker twins on pre-release day. I still have mine. Guess who's paying for the tacos now? Giggity.

Amazing open, finally good to see Rudy opening these boxes (you didn't open any, because I challenged you to open these hard to open packs (I didn't realize there was a pull tab)). This is the first set that I bought a box and haven't opened it yet.

[@nickfitzpatrick5878]

I remember when battlebond came out. On that day, I went to locally wallyland and pulled a double season from a draft pack. Good time. Also glad I had sense to pick up 4 spellseekers, 4 mystic confluence, arena rector and land tax before they went up. Forgot to pick up the hands though.

[@Pl4ntman]

That's a nice $8 foil skyshroud claim. Also I just scanned mtggoldfish for price trends the past couple months, the single set of cards is up $80 since UMA, and a bunch of the chase cards have spiked the past month

I'm convinced he is trying to upsell Battle bond because he wants to sell his supply. He is using salesman tactics to try to convince people the cards are more valuable than they actually are.

@Alpha Investments - Old MTG player from the 90s that stopped playing as 4th Edition was released. So first time checking out MTG since back in the day. So with that said, I love your videos and the positive vibes that you put into it. And judging from your paterons, you appear to be honest and trustworthy - now that I buttered you up a little, i think it would be a great idea if you could briefly go over all of the different magic releases there have been over the years. Not give a monologue for 20 minutes about each card in the set, like for example, released in year xxxx, Fallen Empires, not really a high value collection, most popular cards in here are... a good value at this price range, or something to that effect. I know im not the only old player watching your videos going, okay, we're getting that itch but we have zero idea where to start and with all these sets, it can be intimidating/confusing. Anyhow, really good work with the vids.
