One thing I learned about collecting cardboard, is never throw something out until you do a price check.

[@DrewskiTheLegend]

One thing I learned about collecting cardboard is never throw something out. Though I guess my collection is a little smaller than some of yours.

[@duketogo2616]

Even then you don't know what the future may bring. I used to take a sharpie and use tape to color in the border to all my white border cards because they clashed with my black border stuff. I sold off all my old cards because I could never use them because the only supported formats were always either limited draft/sealed or standard then they changed the game after and all that stuff became relevant again.

[@FDXHOMEDEL]

Rudy is just mad that I’ve circumvented his multiple ban attempts with all my alts and refuses to answer for his $4,000 donation to the Hamburglar during his infamous 1998 Taco Town Comptroller campaign.

Rudy - for the next time you do a "Random Questions" video. If you were able to add 3 cards to the Reserved List, that you think shouldn't be reprinted again (for whatever reason) what would they be?

Rudy doesn't play magic, only collects little squares of cardboard.

[@ETCS423]

Rudy, you have been an amazing tool for my thoughts into how i would scale my little hustle. Just your mindset in business and in MTG is a great way to remind me to keep my blinders on and just keep following my "rules" and to not fear the FOMO. Thank you for what you're doing

[@Groceryboy_Jr]

Here's another question. Do TCG distributors get high off their own supply?

[@kevenwolford]

I got banned by Rudy after trying to figure out what happened to my shirt order on eBay. It was a real feel bad moment because I haven’t even purchased anything in like a year from Rudy, still paid the $15 a month though. If I wanted to get banned or do fraudulent things it makes sense to go big on booster boxes, not a shirt. Never got the shirt either. Just asked where the shirt was through eBay because the tracking never updated and it had been a few weeks. No communication just a ban on a separate platform and I can still purchase from him on eBay. Not being hateful, just saying people fall through the cracks

[@pawpatrolnews]

That's rough. I'm surprised to see that you still watch the videos after what had happened.

[@magicjnkie216]

I'm sure things could have been resolved somehow...seems to me this is the direct result of Rudy's utmost desire to do everything by himself. Dude, you're running a rather large enterprise....find some reliable people to help you...

[@ryanmalinowski7529]

Rudy has had a great work ethic and care for the people who purchase product from him. For example, I purchased some individual cards from him on eBay. I left a message for him on my purchase saying keep up the good work on KZbin. The items were lost in the mail. I emailed him about it, he refunded the money. A month later, I received the items. I emailed him to let him know. He was pleasant to chat with and I paid him back for the product. He even left a thanks on the envelope on my product. Interactions like that really show how much a person cares for their business and buyers of his product. Keep up the great work Rudy!

Agent Smith: "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery."

[@TheDarkElder]

[@armagedonthe1gamer]

Most normal people when they see prices increase, just go to a different type of storefront. for instance my lgs is selling draft boxes of dominaria remastered for 230 with their discount, just went online and ordered one for 180 instead. People who complain about the price to the storefront just don't understand the opportunity cost most of the time. different stores sell for different rates because of their location. If a product is too high its because that's the most popular product, and the store wants to make their money's worth due to their limited supply. I don't like the price, but there's nothing I can do about it since there's no other local competition for magic products for at least 20 miles and convience is a big key factor for me when deciding to make a purchase at my lgs.

you gave an extremely politician response to that political question for a guy who "doesn't really pay attention." 🙄

[@pawpatrolnews]

Regarding the 6.9 anniversary kits, I think having a variation of pins and colored dice would have made them more valuable. If there was 20 different pins, and you only got 5 per kit, people would want to collect and buy the ones they are missing. You probably didn't need to spend so much on making the box look so premium and having the fancy plastic sheet inside too. I would have rather paid $50 less per kit for ones with a non 'premium' box (especially as the expected value of the kits went down by so much after they were created). I still have my 4 kits sealed, so it gives me hope that one of the artist proof gemkeeper cards is inside.

[@gregpenismith1248]

Having variation would have jacked up the price. It costs a company time to change equipment over to make varying product. So if you have small runs the company making them is going to ask for more money.

[@pawpatrolnews]

@@gregpenismith1248 True, I didn't think of that. At that point, maybe having some 'limited time only' merch would have been the way to go. That way people could buy the products they really want, instead of having to buy the whole kit.

[@gregpenismith1248]
