Thanks for sharing with us the collections you get. Love you Rudy.

[@scrapsteenlifeintheforks1943]

Rudy, I actually heard of MTG about a month ago and after buying a stack of cards from the antique store downtown, I learned to play and love it. Thank you for doing whatever you did to make your video show up in my recommended list. I never would have heard of this game if it wasn't for you. P.S. If Wolverine was a Minecraft character, it would look like you on ultra low resolution. Yours truly, Scrapsteen life in the Forks

Awesome collection! You must have enough to start an entire museum at this point🤩

Go peep the rarities on his eBay like the 50 sets of Arabian Nights for 2 million

[@immortaladventures]

I'm pretty new to Magic (a few months in) and at first I really did not like the ancient cards and actually hated seeing them all the time. Now, after hours of watching Rudy, I'm in love with them and can start to feel the "magic" behind them and why they're so treasured. This is an awesome journey to be on!

[@MeganSmite]

That Mishra's Factory is pretty I am glad I am too young to have any nostalgic feelings towards these cards or I would never have any money and turn into Gollum

[@joshccghunter2610]

All those cards brought back the memories of starting to play MTG. Thanks for sharing Rudy!

[@dcwolf994]

LOVE the D2 boxes in the corner of the shot. Awesome game that my dad and I both play, besides Magic

[@72nukey]

Lovely purchase Rudy and I’m glad you’re holding on to them for posterity - oh I hate flippers but you’re doing the right thing

[@Malicos]

Can't exactly say he's holding onto them for posterity when he has the word "investments" in the name of his channel.

[@joshuasliker6039]

So upset every day over this situation. 20 years ago my mother had the opportunity to work for Wizards of the Coast as middle management. She turned it down for another job and we have been kicking ourselves every day since *weeps dramatically*

[@mikeray5475]

Is they worth anything I got a big collection for sell

[@BenSauerwine]

I had a friend, also now deceased, who used to work at WOTC in the early days. At first I thought this might be his collection, but it is not. His story of how he collected it was pretty interesting. Apparently, whenever someone would mail in a defective card to ask for a replacement, they'd just start opening packs until they found a replacement. All of the extra cards from those packs would then be plopped on a shelf in a stock room where they'd sit until the room got too full, at which point employees would take the overflow home. He had several complete sets of Legends that he acquired this way, for instance. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all still sitting in his basement, and his widow has no idea she's sitting on a gold mine.

[@karelmlady]

Tell her?

[@BenSauerwine]

@@karelmlady I wanted to, but it seems weird to call her after not talking to her for 7 years and say, "Hey, how's it going? Your husband's old Magic cards are worth a bundle if you haven't already sold them or thrown them out, so send them to this guy with hairy arms and a floppy taco." It now occurs to me that I could just tell one of her friends who I have kept up with to mention it to her, and by doing so to help her out without it being so awkward.

[@Val.Kyrie.]

Ben Li-Sauerwine do both, tell the friend then follow up with the widow. If she is all weird about how long you’ve been out of contact, just tell her you were watching magic card videos, thought of her husband and realized maybe the old cards could help her out.

11:00 -- I need this artwork as a Christmas ornament in my life.

[@jace1873]

Awesome vid. Kinda sucks though every time I watch these it makes me kick myself in the ass that I lost my cards in a storage unit years ago. Wish I just could go through them and see what I had. I know there were some great cards. ☹

god i love those arab nights lands! island of wak-wak! what a blast from the past! thx rudy!

[@ZestyMozzarella]

And those cards never saw the light of day again as they disappeared into Rudy's basement dwelling where all reserved list magic cards go to be locked away.

[@moxavenger]

For every Beta Counterspell (the best counterspell ever printed) there are probably 50 to 100 Alliances Force of Wills. So I think the current price of $100 for a pretty easy to find card seems about right.

[@andrewlongfellow8745]

Hey just saw that triskelion artwork. I actually created a 3d printed deck box with that card art. Love that art.

[@DavBotsArcade]

Awesome collection Rudy, mad props for not selling from those who are no longer with us, I have the same policy, I've inherited a couple collections. Nothing vintage though.

[@StarlightRevamp]

I’d be willing to send you my collection as well Rudy. It doesn’t have anything crazy I don’t think, but it has some dual lands from the original sets, tutors, and others. I have no idea it’s value, nor do I care to have it appraised. I just wanna put em in a good home. No payment necessary. I never had the heart to throw them out, but I played through most of the 90s up until the mid 2000s. If you’re interested, you could give me a buzz and I’d gladly send them your way.

Mechanics questions: Does City in a Bottle also affect cards that were reprinted? e.g. Chronicles, German/French/Italian Renaissance, etc. [edit] Nevermind! Found my answer. And yes, it does. That's pretty sweet. Hah! No mountains... gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=904 2/1/2014 -- "Any time a player receives priority to cast spells or activate abilities, check to see whether any permanents on the battlefield were originally printed in the Arabian Nights expansion (even if the physical card representing that permanent is a reprint with a different expansion symbol). If there are any such permanents, the ability will trigger and those permanents will be sacrificed."

[@acct_deleted]

How much y’all think that binder of collector’s edition cost?

[@nbhbilbo]

fiddy dollar

[@grasthube]

collector edition was sold itself as a full set (including the power 9), and those cards may not be used in certain tournament i think. still, i think the full set is in the range of 15k-20k

[@michaeledwards1644]

Rudy probably paid around 9k for the set

[@rubix2007]

The collectors edition / International edition sets are around 7-10K USD depending on being sealed or NM opened. I would expect Rudy paid about 3500-4500 for the complete set minus the box though. Everyone knows he buys collections, and he is in it for big returns. He has worked his ass off to get that kind of status, so its all fair game in my opinion!

[@chapmanandchapmanproductio974]

Like this whole collection is MINT, MINT we knew that coming in

[@GeneticResearch]

Imagine to be a Wizards of the Coast employee and you still got just the fake collector edition cards of power 9 and similar worthy cards. Thats realy bad.

[@cmdesign88]

Arabian nights mountains are $120+ for lp and up

[@austinwilburn1772]

On the collector’s edition cards, I feel like I should mention, the cards are Not made from the same card stock. It’s a much cheaper weaker material. In addition the gold frame is added to the cards after the card is produced so it’s not a single object making flacking happen so easily, last but not least, the 90* angle corners can be damage so easily.

[@KimmyR3]

damn. that just brought back a lot of memories
