I'm glad to see a return to this style of video. Stuff like this is what initially brought me to the channel.

Raw ungraded playset of credit cards 😁

[@Juanito_Peligroso]

Rudys forth coming book: 30 pallets was 30 pallets too much.

[@q......]

While that would be funny. I think he knows, and is well versed in managing risk. That's why he can handle not selling so many boxes at a time. If he doesn't have the capital at hand at that moment, he is pretty sure he can get it by the time the credit card bills come due. Likely due to some of his prior investments. This way he can hold onto the boxes for x amount of time as... an investment. Eventually they will go back up it's just a matter of time. Even if the floor fell out of mtg and all boxes went to near $0. I am fairly sure he would still be rich. Less rich, but still rich nonetheless. Why? Diversification. A lot of mtg stores starting out are over extended, putting all on black so to speak. That business model works so long as everything keeps going up and up and the market remains bullish. Any evening out, or downturn and they are caught with their pants down.

Love that you're putting this info into the public. Thanks for the thoughts!

That Ultimate Masters Box at the back (our right side behind the shelf) is itching to get open Rudy.

My prediction... when Florida sinks below the waves in 5 years, Rudy will be safe on his mountain of unopened magic boxes.

[@BeetleBuns]

HOLY SHIT HE'S A GENIUS... Rudy's got some real forward thinking

[@KenM_1987]

Ah, Creepy Investor Rudy and his PSA 9.5 graded credit cards. Great video dude. Been binge watching your channel for about a week.

[@jonunciate7018]

I'm always thinking about trying to open a small gaming store some day and then I see a video like this and decide I'm not nearly ready yet.

[@Maraxusofk]

Great video. Fantastic information and really hammered in the importance of prudent expense forecasting, which is probably the number one thing small businesses and start ups fail at.

[@Pointandlaughh]

I use to have one of those boxes, the Sengir vs. Djinn ones behind you. It made for an excellent box for carrying deck boxes back in the day.

[@DCast59]

Really like this style video, it’s what got the channel going!

[@joshmusclow8819]

What's cool is, Rudy is an actual person and understands his subscribers. He's not some moronic KZbinr that doesn't give a crap. Super cool man. thanks for the insight in the risks it takes to make it big.

Yesterday we discover rudy is a ln otaku. Now we know he double tap the cards... rudy is a great person.

Another common "Timmy" complaint is with prize support at events. People seem to think Gaming Stores can just hand out booster boxes when people are paying $5 to enter a tournament with 7 entrants.

[@dirtydommysterio]

No but 8 players @ $10ea should play for a box

[@Tacet137]

Cardboard costs almost nothing so whats the problem

Man your credit score is higher than mine. I also wanted to tell you the Honda accord 2.0T sport is very choice. I know you are a Honda guy. It does 0-60 5.5 and 1/4 mile in 14.2. It's roomy, cozy, affordable, sexy.

You can also ask to move the available credit on all the cards to one card and close the rest

The law of constant dealings. Economics lessons with Rudy.

[@WhiteWolfac]

thanks for the lesson

[@Chris-dq6eq]

Wow, Rudy showing off the skills of his new CGI editor. You shaking those boxes looked almost real, nice touch! But we know how it is ;)

[@Konstantin100]

Just FYI, I work in the credit card industry and you shouldn't max out your credit limit and pay it off several times a month unless you have a well established relationship with that bank. Do that on a new account and you will trip all sorts of fraud flags, leading to major headaches all around. There are people who max out new cards, pay them off using fraudulent bank information, and try to repeat the process several times before the payments start being reversed. Credit card companies can lose thousands from this scam, so they can and will shut your card down if they suspect you of it.

[@cybermax12]

I wished I had a role model like you when I started building my own financial future. You really do help a lot more people than you could ever realize and yes I'm always one who keeps watching until the end!

[@kingofslots8587]

Love the video and to be frank this is one of the best video you have made.

[@fiftyhunnug]

It's hilarious that the CFO at the company i work at is named Bob. Lol. Ever time i talk to him i think of Rudy talking about Bobs

Iconic Master x500 boxes tied up 100k in capital and only now you could get out without a significant loss

[@RogerOver9000]

Nice CG animation the touching of the boxes xD

[@ZestyMozzarella]

Best news from this video: We still got a F ton of ultimate masters. Thank god!!! Was worried we were running out. To the thunder-dome!

[@Scorch428]

I hope a lot of you guys who are investing in tons of the newer sealed boxes realize that the old boxes only went up because only a FEW people were holding them...the supply is low. Everyone is holding the newer boxes, and when they go to sell them in 10-20 years, the supply is going to be SO much greater. Not saying you wont make money. I just hope investors realize that fact.

[@ddrguy3008]

Tinfoil hat theory: Was it the introduction of high capital, poorly received masters sets that caused the smaller stores to close when they lost money, which was a higher amount than usual because products historically had been doing so well and they put more money than they normally would have into the high risk products? And then once the timmy stores got stamped out, only the big guys are left at the end and they make capital back anyway because they held/were able to hold onto some and are now on the back end of the appreciation of growth as the bad masters sets gain back value for speculative reasons. Economic survival of the fittest confirmed? Just another example anyway. Lesson - almost never make higher risk investments and just go with the flow no matter what comes out good or bad? Also, have capital.

I bet Rudy's glad those boxes have finally begun to rebound! Having all that capital tied-up for so long has got to cause some heart-burn though😬

I just got a Citi double cash card with a 3k limit. My previous card had 1.5% cash back and a $600 limit so a big Improvement

[@gragrim]

Buying 2000 boxes at 160 a box is 340,000... then sell ALL of those boxes at 200 a box gets you 400,000... that is 60,000 profit, which is A LOT of money but what a lot of people dont realize is how much work it is to distribute that many boxes and separate orders out to all of the people and the upkeep cost it takes to keep you and your business going, so yes a profit is made there, but I dont think people realize the final ACTUAL amount made after it is all said and done with costs

[@gordiebernard4640]

Bankcard Gambit, sorcery, cast for x green mana. Duplicate Bankcard Gambit up to 5 times, if you do send all Dignity into the graveyard. Opponents must surrender x cards to you where x is equal to casting cost. "I got 99 problems but buying a taco ain't one." -Rudy, Reacharound Goblineer.

My lgs isnt the greatest of stores but we put up with it. There is a very small store 2 hours from me though that I go to when I am up north that is amazing.

Hey Rudy - why not use the Bank of America premium rewards card, 2.625% cash back on all purchases if you have an investment/cash/mortgage balance with Bank of America. (similar credit limit)

[@VagabondTE]

What if stores sold products at different prices? Hear me out. You place an order at the regular price but your order is volatile. If the price goes past a certain predetermined point then your order is cancelled and you would have to re-purchase. Or, you could place an order for the box at a higher price, but that higher price is a guaranteed sale. If the price goes above this value you still won't lose your order. I know nothing about the money's. Please be gentle. It was just an idea.

[@KoolDaddyCaddy]

they generally do, pre-orders are usually cheaper from Jump, however what they have left that wasn't pre-ordered will be marked up accordingly if the demand for the product grows. Your LGS for example most likely capped the amount of pre-orders of Modern Horizons with the hope that the cost will rise, therefore even though you recieved your box for 199, all future boxes will be higher, same with pack prices etc. Like Rudolph said, the point of pre-order is to make back some of the cash you fronted, the big profit comes post-release....that is until its time to re-up, and distro's have also raised their prices.

[@VagabondTE]

@@KoolDaddyCaddy oh ok thanks

[@oXthe__j0k3rXo87]

All I gotta say.. is in that thumbnail I saw my favorite credit card... That 2% cash back. I buy nearly everything on that Citi card and pay it off biweekly. Edit- regardless though, I'll always always always have at least one credit card on the side with no interest.. speaking of which.. my 1.5% citizens card is running out of no interest in a few months. That's what I used for 9 boxes of spark. Nearly paid off.. giggity
