That comet storm nearly was a Tarmogoyf... It's kinda depressing

[@cthulhu5707]

arenkai Wasnt it foil?

[@deolamitico]

that miscut tarmo... boy it must be expensive

[@TheRedkeyboard]

Ive seen the goyf that this belongs too, they arent factory miscuts, somone got their hands on the sheet and dit it themselves. My buddy has 4 foil miscut knights of the reliquary from the edge of what im assuming is the same sheet

[@mattv2099]

in 1995 I worked in a mtg shop. A dude travelled to my town from Singapore just to check the local shops and buy old school MTG cards. he was an interesting fellow. walked around with an umbrella in the sun. cool dood.

[@ryanwraight5630]

It is so weird seeing Rudy's head in these style of videos. Especially when my tablet is on my lap. Didn't know we were that close Rudy.

[@garyhickman1088]

Giggity

[@wafflehaxxx]

I have only opened one foil mythic ever from a masters set. It was a comet storm.

[@MinoritiesRlazy]

Sleazebag that’s because god doesn’t love you

[@crazygamercadenisatrain]

This is not Card Shop Life. I cannot survive without Life of the Card Shop.

[@jennifer9084]

Emperor Palpatine I noticed its been more then a month since the last video. I think he's stopped doing them. I hope he is just taking a break from it.

[@crazygamercadenisatrain]

Yeah, it's kinda annoying. I live like right by the Card Shop and have even driven up to it.

[@ModestestMouse]

Would you care to elaborate what this means? (>^_^)>

[@PhDBarinas]

hey Rudy, why do you leave the sleeve and the top loader openings to the same side? I always do it like I do double sleeves so that it doesnt get air into it.

[@harrydiesburg9345]

Anyone notice how the mox opal next to the elish norn was foil?

[@wilyhobbit6550]

Man, great teaching vid here Rudy... so kool to see these classics... takes me back lol. So glad this worked out for you. Wish I knew more of what I'm looking for.

[@RalleNeroBP]

Could you Show us what you are looking for in the magnifying glass that i could check my Cards too this way?Thanks

[@saby7825]

love the white borders, also helps to tell when it has dust and stuff on the edges.

[@Icyc0bra]

My city got it's first Taco Bell this weekend. Some people waited 10 hours in the parking lot to be the first in line.

[@WinglessNetwork]

Hey Rudy What are you looking for when you use that jeweler tool

[@PinkVisor]

12:40 Just a heads up you did not inspect recall with the loop.

[@wlnter06]

My favourite channel on youtube :D Please never stop making video's!

[@ryanaymar9124]

Hey Rudy, i just purchased an alpha lighting bolt and I don't own any other Alpha cards. Are there any tips your could give me on authenticating it?

[@ericdrexler8550]

What kind of sleeves are the outer sleeves he is using?

[@danielgraves13]

I'm having postal issues as well (FedEx). The item was sent on the 6th of June and still haven't received it (21 June).

[@MrBlackpink]

When I have 10,000 dollars I'll send Rudy a 100 boxes of conspiracy.

[@Maraxusofk]

I believe the elesh norn and mox opals are NFC's, which in the misprint community means not factory cut. Probably got a foil a sheet and custom cut it.

[@Zemmip]

It's not said in the video but the miscuts are not factory cut. These were cut later from a full foil sheet of Modern Masters that was probably won at a GP or something.

[@bryanbonar]

ivebeen if the back and front are cut the same it's most likely NFC (not factory cut)

[@yarnak9455]

they would cost more if they were factory cut, yes, but the NFC ones still hold value for certain people you can generally tell if a card is not factory cut by looking at the corners

[@zombietoken69]

confirm, this is NFC.

[@squirrelstash9683]

Replying to Edward Humanhands22 hours ago "ivebeen if the back and front are cut the same it's most likely NFC (not factory cut)" Please note that this is not correct. Factory miscuts are very very often cut the same front and back. The distinction is the corners (which even factory miscuts can be weird on, so this isn't a sure thing) combined with a knowledge of which sheets are regularly cut. Again: the front and back being miscut the same way is NOT a sign that something is NFC, and it's definitely NOT "most likely" NFC. However, if the front and back do NOT match, then it is almost certainly a factory error (there are exceptions, but you can assume this is the case for our purposes).

[@Zemmip]

I've seen other cards from these exact same sheet cuts. They pop up occasionally on the Misprints and Oddities Facebook group but are always labeled as NFC. Very rarely do cards are get miscut so largely and so perfectly out of the factory like this. You can ebay search NFC cut cards and find ones like this from all sorts of sets.

[@kevink6265]

Has Rudy ever done a video that talks about buying P9 cards, like who to buy from, how much to pay, etc...?

[@brysonxiao947]

What does the dot pattern look like?

[@488Fuent]

what do you look for to check authenticity when you look at the card thru the jewel magnefir

[@darienmckenzie7729]

Rosetta pattern to be clear not pixely/fuzzy

[@raphaelmark1489]

idk if you noticed, the comet storm is miscut with a tarmogoyf

[@opag78]

How comes you never check the front ? I always check the front of my Vintage cards for the pattern, because as I understood they sometimes put a fake cardfront on a real cardback.

[@exquizzetmtg2779]

Realistically, what would you say the minimum price is for a tournament legal P9 set? I'm becoming more interested in Vintage, and once I stabilize and save up enough funds I plan to start in mtgo since it's cheaper and more popular there, but I do plan to eventually build a Vintage Hurkyl's Recall/Paradoxical Outcome Storm deck. Also I think it would be bad ass to add those to my collection

[@Jonpro10012]

rudy, if you double sleeve, don't you turn one of the sleeves up and one down?

[@TrixMusic]

Hey Rudy, I've got a question. When will your card shop be opened? I plan on going to Jacksonville to meet with some friends in Mid-August and I wanted to know if It'd be open and I could stop by? -T

[@vennominon22]

DONT EVER DROP THE CAMERA AGAIN, THE WORLD MOVED FOR A SECOND.

[@marvinkylesim]

Finally watched enough videos from Rudy to hear Singapore mentioned.

[@maitrevince7316]

CARD SHOP LIFE !

[@AllSpeciesOhioFishing]

What do you look for with the light and lense to verify they are real?

[@ninetails6218]

Hello fellow buckeye redhick

[@Edu-yo8sk]

07:10 What did you see ??? Any tips ???

[@dopedreamz]

Love this video, just the great outcomes for him for you.

[@mikejeter6918]

Hey Rudy, what do you want for that miscut Elesh Norn? I kinda dig it and have some PSA mint Legends cards or cash I'd be willing to trade. Let me know.

[@Fergit_]

I will leave out the dollar amounts , by which I mean put it in the title.

[@herbert164]

it was just an estimate rather than specification. we all know the general price of the cards(pretty easy to find) and we could have guessed as much anyway.

[@NicoSwagzawa]

There's a difference in the value of the cards and what he may have bought them for.

[@niccisherwood1550]

How do people get those miscuts they are pretty cool

[@amiga2091]

You didn't light/magnify test the Ancestral Recall card.

[@swim2]

Rudy - if you get a polarizing filter for your lens you can get rid of glare.

[@jean-philippelachance6410]

@alpha investments Hello rudy ! I would like to know what you actually see with your special lense :) Like what does a good pattern looks like ? How does it have to look to be called authentic ?

[@Ksilver21]

Those are not factory cut (nfc) miscuts. People buy sheets and purposely cut them incorrectly.

[@MrSkrilla316]

Never looped the Ancestral.

[@captainfancypants8514]

When are we finally seeing some Videos from GPVegas?!

[@Matthew-lu4sf]

How do you tell they are real by looking at them under that light?

[@LegalizeTheNuclearBomb]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS GUY IS TALKING ABOUT BUT THE CARDS LOOK COOL AND IF I WERE RICH I WOULD PROBABLY BUY THEM

[@Squireissocoolie]

That moment when you walk into your level 69 judge test and you're asked to flop your taco.

[@abbadonofhell8940]

Those miscuts look like Non-Factory Cuts, guessing you would be aware of them but people buy sheets and get em miscut on purpose that exact way from a non WOTC place.

[@coleisinthewoods620]

"This video is going to be a very fun" -Rudy alpha investments.

[@sweetpotato705]

Hey does anyone know what happened to Card shop life? Not memeing I'm just really missing it :/

[@ThatGuyWhoPlaysMagic]

this is an impressive green screen. you really upgraded for this video.

[@bruisermoore]

Basically just a reason for Rudy to show off all of his P9 cards.

[@Dremin2009]

Just the unlimited ones

[@piratelute8934]

Get jealous nerd

[@xbon1]

wtf do ppl mean when the card is off centered

[@djwaters22]

Serious question because im just curious. Are you rudy? I keep hearing you say rudy. Unless your speaking about yourself in the 3rd person?

[@literallyjustforplugdj7707]

The Elesh Norn may cost 0, but it also has no power and toughness, and all it does is give creatures you control +2. Not +2 power or toughness, just +2. Completely unplayable.

[@sadisteck]

No lie I kind of want that Elesh Norn.... LOL Also very nice catch of the camera, now if only you were not the one to have knocked it over.

[@Nerdy_prepper]

Awesome video man!

[@uTubeNoITube]

*sigh* I only have 8 of the power 9 myself, and the Time Walk was the one I was never able to get. Makes me sad watching this wanting that Time Walk even though I sold my other power ages ago haha

[@jerethgryphon4244]

didn't check recalls dot pattern

[@Radditz68]

The pearl was HP cond?

[@ihellspawn9059]

Rudy what would you have done if your best friend's mom burned those power 8 cards that were mint condition easily a ps 9? ( This really did happen )

[@reidparker1213]

The Elesh Norn was right next to a Mox Opal! CRAZY! You could get big bucks for that on eBay Rudy! Maybe up to a grand!

[@CodeProvider]

those miscut foil mythics must be like $100s right? Im sure some collector out there would pay A LOT for that norn

[@alexgaspar2525]

They are not factory cut someone did them by hand from a uncut sheet.

[@dolphin082]

Hey Rudy!! Is there any way you can show us what we should see throught that magnifying glass? And most importantly what we shouldn't see in it. Like a nice comparison so timmy's at home and buy themselves a 20x magnifying glass and a shiny light and start telling fakes apart on our own. For my part im good with telling them apart by their texture and the gloss on the cards but i can't really do an extensive and clear breakdown of all the elements required to make sure i do not buy a fake and be 100% sure on my skills. And i also believe that could help a lot of viewers and also contribute to make a dent in those guys wallet that make them. That would be nice to educate us a bit more on that. Thanks man for all your videos and i love your channel. P.s. i would love to have my collection checked by you but im afraid of the cold hard truth. Lol. Have a good day. Talk to you soon.

[@ninetails6218]

He really can’t because the counterfeiter’s would make the cards even more believable then which would make the trick worthless.

[@zzafrica87]

haha I just bought elesh for my commander deck, but sadly not the zero mana version :D

[@paxman192]

When the camera dropped I went "NOT THE CARDS"

[@bh-w2297]

man I would love that eleshnorn Mox opal, instant new commander

[@TheSushiandme]

No wonder Chase thought your purchase of floppy tacos were a fraud...

[@MD-tb6eh]

Why dont you do a light test in this video?

[@Q-Bits8]

Can you make a video on how to identify fake cards?

[@Beblue1337]

Rudy pls explain how you can get cards like that out of sleeves, put it on a bunch of cardboard boxes and touch them around with bare hands if they are priced by even surface quality?

[@SolivagantCraig]

Because they're over 20 years old and have been touched countless times. Him touching them a little more isn't going to hurt anything.

[@FlourescentPotato]

Because they're already damaged, it is kinda reckless though I agree.

[@SolivagantCraig]

+Minister HaxAras Royal The "Power 9" are considered some of the best cards in the game. They were only printed in the earliest sets almost 25 years ago.

[@Morgormir]

Minister HaxAras Royal Exactly. Think Baseball cards, magic cards are along the same lines but with a bit less value. Given though that the magic playerbase has gone up year after year, demand won't be decreasing anytime soon.

[@palpatinevevo9773]

i saw a miscut arcbound ravager for £125, it had 3 other cards on it

[@ashleykitchin976]

Not sure that's factory cut.

[@hyundaiq]

How much would that collection have cost Rudy to buy?

[@doomtomb3]

Rudy did not check the dot pattern of the ancestral recall

[@Abstractpossom]

Been watching old Rudy content non stop for 2 days, I don’t even collect mtg I’m a Pokémon fan, send tacos 🌮

[@Flankmecaptain]

how much is that foil miscut elesh? also my taco is so floppy I demand card shop life!

[@ssn_toby4956]

The elish norm was almost a mox

[@OverIoadTV]

It's NFC. "Not factory cut" He bought an uncut sheet and cut it.

[@WolleWip]

"Look at all that power!"

[@HollywoodModelling]

So nice you are showing us that you own power yay :D

[@stupidrock0153]

When Rudy is just lke "These are all played" and all of us out here watching be jizzin floppy tacos like no other Taco Bell

[@L0j1k]

I searched all over your eBay for Comet Storms and could not find any. Disappoint.

[@lsent3338]

i live in Singapore... but didnt knew our reputation was that bad... lol

[@JoelChenFa]

Sadness isn't it.

[@dudeyeahart2884]

there. now you have some misprints as well :)

[@vlagtr]

At first glance, it looked like it said, "noob delivery."

[@efermi6092]

Something about watching Rudy fondle power with a jewelers loop and stacks of cased power that will never again enter the market or pool of played cards makes my EDH casual heart hurt.

[@insomniac1313]

So much power in this video my electricity went out 3 times...

[@jimjohnson7931]

Roody is at tacobell in hosetown, usa in dis vidd

[@ImPacosTacos]

Poor Nate, sorry you had to sell your cards like that, hope your doing good!

[@sarahtan2976]

Finally got a Singaporean MTG shoutout here

[@YoungFree213]

Hey that looks like my hand writing xD

[@christopherslinger6383]

no but for real is that miscut elesh norn for sale?

[@neverneverneveragain3800]

Christopher Slinger it's NFC

[@Scottflix]

Does anyone know how does Rudy authenticate his cards when he looks at the back of the card? Where is he exactly looking at? The mana colours?

[@nathanoloughlin1215]

What Rudy said: "I dropped it" What I heard: "$1000 Pickup"

[@packopeners6932]

No Rudy I'm not fine! I lost 2 loved ones in the camera fall accident

[@Sixfools]

Are those miscuts or NFC?

[@luispersaud6744]

I'd assume NFC

[@AlexanderBerg89]

That Elesh Norn for 0 ..

[@mundanetopics6416]

Holy fuck the black lotus collection

[@ODT81]

he rudy you forgot to loop check the ancestral recall.🔍 floppy🌮 for you.
