[@rodrigocosta2365]

20 years old this foil and looks good. new cards: before release they are already classified as damage.

[@guybrushthreepwood8174]

Haha.

[@jtgolo]

I’m Rudy, I spent20000$ on cardboard, don’t really remember if the art is foil or not!

[@Firevine]

That clouding is one reason I was VERY shocked to have found an Invasion foil Opt in fantastic condition at an outdoor flea market. In Georgia. In the middle of summer even. It wasn't perfect, but god only knows how long it was in this dudes binder through all the grime of his gross market stall and our ridiculous weather changes. I snapped that thing up, for the grand total of... $1.00 There was very little clouding and no scratches. It was a nice find.

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

I appreciate when Rudy calls out us 3% ladies

[@chrisgould101]

Does it make u feel special

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

I just like commenting for the algorithm. Thanks for asking!

[@anagittigana]

​@@Shannon_Vlogs Dealing with these idiots must be tough, good luck!

[@Lariat_V]

Are you part of the 3% of ladies, or are you 3% a lady?

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

anagittigana It doesn’t bother me, I know what community I’m in 😂

[@sdawg35]

Doing my part to help Rudy make his .0000001 cent.

[@JammedCards]

Day 65 of commenting every day until rudy restocks T-shirts PSA: T-shirt restock coming next week ya'll. Be ready.

[@koya-l4v]

Gem Mint PSA T-shirt restock. Didn't know they gave out good grades these days

[@slippyslipip]

Day 13 or 14 commenting until this dude give it a rest

[@danielwisell3836]

Oh my goodness he finally liked the comment. The crusade may final come to a close

[@ameliaward7429]

Wow. It finally happened. Acknowledgement.

[@adams5507]

Told you day 69

[@Dementis1049]

I always wanted a foil 7th ed Coat of Arms, easily one of the most beautiful cards in the set and the best looking Coat of Arms period.

[@ErrorAcquired]

Awesome video. I learned a lot about foil grading. Wow I thought that 1st foil was gem mint then you turned it and I was like holly cow

[@Possu81]

Rudy seems to be always one step ahead. This kind material is usually behind a paywall. Really golden information.

[@dirtyfrench2926]

I picked my foil Equilibrium up for about $10 about 4 years ago. It's in nm condition and has been sleeved and in a top loader for years... I need to get it graded!

[@blackhorizon40k81]

This channel, and your story, Rudy, are both fascinating... I remember MTG as a pass-time on the Boardwalk as a kid... and wow look at this. Keep up the cool channel, I'm strangely addicted...

[@Audioandroid1]

You should do a follow up on 7th edition foils. What in the world is going on?

[@33bigmoney]

crazy prices recently and sold out

[@Arakox]

i like to listen to rain background music during rudy videos. really relaxes my taco

[@Perceptious37]

that extra soggy rained on taco.

[@jareddavis1749]

Love these old card videos.

[@fillintheblank8240]

I've got a mint 7th foil city of brass I pulled from a pack. Just waiting for it to keep climbing.

[@garrettgerbil13]

Hey Rudy, What are your thoughts on buying a foil Yavimaya Hollow ? Thanks, Gürt

[@jeremycarman8980]

That's awesome! You're blessed.

[@takumichampion1470]

Hey Rudy I enjoy watching your videos. It makes me want to buy booster packs sometimes.

[@snowy5599]

14:20 that "simplified Chinese" Final Fortune is Japanese.... :)

[@solidkingcobra]

"It's all the same." - ignant folks.

[@lordbattlefield]

It is also worth noting, that back in the days core sets were labeled "Advanced" due to the more simple or no mechanic cards included. That is compared to let's say Invasion block which was Expert set. While sets were coming out not so often as today, I know many people preferred the expert set rather than 7th.

[@TheE38Registry]

I'd be curious to see any reasonable thought or sources as to print runs of foil 7th.

[@airbomb34]

There comes a point in your life where money isn't everything and you want to actually enjoy it. That guy is at that point. If he wants to spend his investment so be it. Gotta live a little, Taco Rudy.

[@jordandawson2192]

Rudy is secretly investing in old foils to sell back to wizards to fix foiling

[@7Alberto7]

Amazing info....very interesting....

[@startyde]

Do those counts counts include MTGO redemption sets?

[@KrepsyK]

"Pumps and never dumps" Creepy Rudy! These do look nice though

[@BobbyxZx]

those were two really good spec choices.

[@btgriff98]

I usually just put foils through the washing machine a few times to make sure all the oils are off

[@myyoutubename4067]

So if there are supposedly 2k of each rare, how many of each of the other rarities would there be?

[@danielwisell3836]

God damn those old fools are just mindblowing. Goes to show that complexity doesn’t always result in more impressive cards

[@artwork.alexander]

Can you make a video on grading??? I’ve noticed a lot of shops and sellers grade cards with clouding/spots as near mint... it’s hard to find honest sellers!

[@hermandarmawan4610]

So it is Rudy who finally buy Da Saybuh-TooFF's cards.

[@solidkingcobra]

Final Fortune and Equilibrium... cards that uses terms related to economics. These cards are on Rudy's wheel house.

[@stephens9772]

Are you going to get any graded?

[@Jorge_AS_Fernandes]

In europe is 250€ for a near mint equilibrium.

[@staggerlee2774]

The 7th edition foils look sexy imo. Old art with foil? Sign me up. I started in 4th/ice age era. Gotta start digging...

[@CHRISG612]

That's the point of these videos.. He's pumping his trash

[@cloudyskiesnow]

You're not getting my foil copies of Equilibrium, Rudy!

[@sirurza55]

I think I was collecting Raw Deal in 2001... I wonder if those cards are worth anything.

[@technole]

If you have any Simplified Chinese, you should keep them, considering 7th edition was their Unlimited/Revised.

[@DarkPaladin1130]

Rudy is correct. Birds of Paradise for instance. Reprinted a billion times, many different version. 7th Ed foil is EXTREMELY expensive and only going up, regardless of all the reprints sense 7th.

[@StizzardLizzard]

Someone was trying to unload their final fortunes on facebook months ago. Had around 100 copies in a bunch of languages.

[@Vivi-uu6rm]

Oh no its that Creepy Rudy guy again...

[@emrakultheaeonstorn7430]

This investor is not as evil as I. I'm in the destruction business... Fill a binder full of Jace and Lilli set er a flame.

[@conker959]

Wow ! Just wow !

[@MoeLesteur]

To have know the release of that core set i have quite a soft spot for that core edition. That edition is peculiar indeed. At first it is the last core set having the classic frame , the eight edition being the very first one with the modern frame. The other interesting fact is that every card gets a new illustration , that was well done when you see for exemple the worship with Rk Post illustration. This is really what was a core set , no multicolored cards , no legends and at that time no mythics or equipment or pw. Because of that it feels vanilla if not unimpressive. In a way that edition feels a bit weaker than the sixth edition , because for exemple you can't pull here vampiric tutor. But overall the 7th edition provide the key cards for standard like the painlands , city of brass , counterspell , duress , wrath of god, birds of paradise and even llanowar elves. If you ever done a sealed or draft with the 7th edition it probably feels now quite boring but at that time , pulling a serra angel or shivan dragon was joy. Maybe Rudy shall open a box and show us how it goes. ;)

[@yoavgro3]

do you believe 2000 exist of each rare in all languages combined? or just English?

[@KyleBaran90]

$300 a piece market value from a spike? Very interesting how the price moved (even if the price doesn't hold)

[@snozeberry99]

Did the ikoria openings influence your choice to buy these? Like did u feel like new foils arent as cool and get nostalgic or was this pure evil investor Rudy?

[@zumrox]

I'm a proud hodler of foil Eager Cadet.

[@bewbunyon1]

Not as iconic as the Storm Crow. But, op none the less.

[@jackryan6584]

What's your seller id on ebay

[@dyne313]

I love 7th foils. I have a BoP I got for under $100 back in 2011, maybe. I've been buying some other cards occasionally.

[@dyne313]

I wish I had purchased more foils back then. I bought that card partly because I loved the art of Birds of Paradise, but I had put 2 and 2 together, about the unique art, only versions in black border, old card frame. 7th foils really are a perfect storm of unique.

[@Tdcwanted]

The card that shows up at 15:42 (Botton Left) makes so much sense. "Balance"....thats foreign to WOTC!!

[@tonydola3232]

Dude ur the man. In the last 6 months or so I’ve learned so much from you. And found a great amount of entertainment. I don’t know why people say bad things about you I really don’t. Ur all right in my book Rudy. Big fan.

[@AudioAndroid]

1000 is correct and 900 are in my bicycle tire spokes. P.s. I dont think I spelled spokes right

[@ryangreenwald3755]

My dream is a 7th ed Birds of Paradise but the prices went from $100 to $600 real fast lol

[@eduardoschultz6807]

Oh man, I had 8x (if not mistaken 4x foil) back in 2003... sadly I sold all my collection alongside my competition decks...

[@georgegawronski7862]

Mint copies of Birds of Paradise 7th are more like 1200. Clean, cloudless foils that haven't been chemically treated are exceptionaly difficult to aquire

[@tobiaspause1775]

get it non foil. Its cheaper xd.

[@dyne313]

OOF, I got mine around $80 and I'm sure glad I did.

[@nonlamesniper]

@@eduardoschultz6807 Don't be angry about your former self. What did you get for that money?

[@Christian-cz9bu]

Did Rudy just describe himself as a Diglett?

[@syjohnston6603]

Holy crap what an insane collection. Wish I knew how much he was getting them for. I wonder if picking up random foil rares from other early sets would be a good play.

[@MinoritiesRlazy]

It depends on if you can get away with your home invasion

[@MTGMOXMAN]

I have a few islands in foil they are very pretty

[@davef5572]

Take us back to the temple of the chicken tendies. Timmy's hungry screw rudy

[@altered_beast_of_burden]

I know the gentleman who owned all of these and thought he was trying to go for more. Surprised he sold everything.

[@evanperkins3467]

I love you, and I love 7th edition. We both know there are more than 1,000 of each foil rare

[@mboyd92]

I bought a foil 7th edition Counterspell with a big floppy taco in my mouth. What a beauty

[@pezscards3859]

Fear not, Taco Bell is now reprinting vintage tacos with a 3-D printer!!

[@danhick3150]

Huh never realized that I like old foiling better, full arts nice tho.

[@Sppartin90]

I have a foil 7th edition Ensnaring Bridge I'd like to sell...I found it in a small collection I bought the other day. In great shape too!

[@conangod00]

Second video asking insight about Mythic Market from you

[@deeroberts8090]

"That's why I'm not touching it" *touches it*

[@peterbartrina1347]

Checked it on MKM Europe, 250 Euro for a German Foil- version of Equilibrium..... holy smokes evreybody ;)

[@streetdog75]

I've picked up a couple of 7e foil Thorn Elementals from various lots, saw they were worth nothing, and tucked them away. Now with this video, I went and looked out of curiousity, and for whatever reason Thorn Elemental is still

[@jonathanbohn4805]

Thorn Elemental was a promo. It was in the Starter Deck.

[@juliang3608]

I knew it - creepy Rudy has to be from Florida

[@charlielarson2407]

My thoughts on them reprinting sum of these big guys like Grim tutor by core 22 I'm Reserve list is going to be demolished cuz they're making $0 off those cards cuz I'm thinking they're going to demolish it so they can make some money out those cards again

[@Seabound117]

I wonder with the sensitivity bans and some players leaving the game because of it will impact the market if at all.

[@evanperkins3467]

watching this makes me soooo sad. I just want one foil final fortune

[@pvtpain66k]

Final Fortune did get reprinted in Amonkhet.

[@chrisdaniels7965]

I love the fact that im right up here above you in Alabama and ill tell you one thing ...i still have over 200 7th ed foil rares woooooohooooooooooo

[@chrisdaniels7965]

Including several copies of final fortune and equilibrium.

[@patrickweiss5063]

I have a foil 7th Equilibrium ;)

[@nantukoprime]

Having played with old foils back when sleeves were pretty new and of questionable quality for shuffling, the foiling and art on old foils would peel off through moderate play.

[@ESP4thaWin]

WHEN will Wizards bring this kind of foil back :((((( I miss these foils so much!!!

[@canoticoyote]

mp foil final fortune currently $500 on tcg player gg Rudy

[@MTGUnpacked]

Incredible foils! I'm assuming the demand for these is more about the rarity of foils rather than actual playability?

[@PhilShary]

Both of these particular cards are also quite popular in EDH with their unique effects

[@wallbant928]

yea a lot of people want to collect a full set of 7th edition foils. some cards are good but yeah its mainly for rarity

[@ashleykitchin976]

I'm an evil collector with a similar collection to what it shown and my motivation is rarity. They're scarcer than Alpha/Beta rares and far more pretty!

[@cuckoophendula8211]

Man, 20,000 USD is still around just 40 birds of paradises...

[@stepniak18]

Rudy, just like Liliana, had a change of heart. Now he will buy out old collections and put them on eBay. Spoiler alert: Rudy is also the mastermind behind Tolarian Community Collage and Professor is his twin brother.

[@sciffer4432]

Will you get any of these cards PSA graded?

[@stevelibby6852]

I don't own any of these, I never played, not looking to buy. Really intrigued by this product's market.

[@blackswanmtg]

June 2023 - 69K views. Nice.

[@leemiller6977]

each of those two cards foil versions from 7th edition go for 229$ on Card Kingdom's site......and they have neither in stock. They also are not buying either of these two cards right now.

[@MyLittleMagneton]

Only go out and hug somebody if you don't have the good old space godzilla.

[@bramcops5137]

0.000001 cent for you Creepy Rudy ! Keep it up the Taco 🌮!

[@grichl88]

The Chinese versions are so hard to find he had to give you a Japanese one I guess?

[@skulakk1360]

Thank you for not touching them! You kill me when you touched some Alphas by hand a while back lol

[@scottsims6127]

Touching cards does next to nothing to them.

[@stumpjumper6679]

Rudy: "I don't have time to negotiate selling my cards to you." Rudy 2 seconds later: "If you have a collection you want to sell contact me to see if we can negotiate a price."

[@Greatlubu]

Rudy: "I don't have time to negotiate selling MY cards to you." "If you have a collection YOU want to sell contact me to see if we can negotiate a price."

[@terryfeynman]

He has no time to talk about single cards period. IF you sell a whole collection it is a different matter, but even then it needs a certain size. As for him selling in bulk, why should he ? You always make more money putting them slowly on the market during highs, and sell nothing during lows. He can wait. It is about deal size, not his versus your cards.

[@samuelwebb4784]

Bash Bash Bash Bash Bash Bashing all I want.

[@luckyseven8572]

If it was a giggity you probably should't touch that card with your bare fingers! Lol!

[@WolleWip]

Only 1-2,000 sets of foil 7th rares? I doubt that. Remember that this was the first set in MTGO, which was redeemable. I got one, non-foil sadly.

[@420Pikachu]

Lmaooo go on mtg player and look up the foil prices for these cards XD sad now old foils are popped, time for the next big thing

[@TripsAhoy]

How does anyone thumbs down a rudy video!?!?!??!

[@djdrack4681]

oils on the skin... meanwhile rudy never puts the latex on. ever.

[@cloudyskiesnow]

Hasn't Rudy previously said that putting money into foils is a bad investment?

[@ericlecarde]

I had a dozen of those...

[@ashleykitchin976]

In foil?!

[@goncaloformiga3338]

16:25 "I don't think these cards will be 200 dollars a piece". You just made a true fortune, and probably duplicated, at least the money. Final Fortune is at 300 dolars in the market.
