[@darylpayne8685]

Rudy thank you sir for putting my book, "The Inquisitive and the Damned", on your channel. I really appreciate your generosity and keep up the good work.

[@AlphaInvestments69]

I wish you the best Daryl :-)

[@darylpayne8685]

Thank you!

[@SkipperinoHS]

i bought a HoD booster box from you and I got a Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh and foil Scorpion God in the same pack. Thanks papa

[@impermadness]

Didnt know you played magic :o

[@SkipperinoHS]

Matthew Cornwell 3-4 years ago ye

[@ackel113]

Skipperino Kripperino wow didn't think I would see you here

[@CGoody564]

Skipperino Kripperino no you didn't. You're too busy telling us how much to skipperino on each video to open cards.

[@Shatamx]

One of the oldest kripp personalities on Alpha investments. What a world. Welcome!

[@daviddebruyne5579]

While i enjoy wholesome content like this every now and then, the card shop life has lacked anything to do with running a card shop in a long time. It looks much more like a warehouse, we don't get to see any of the operation or any customers.

[@Madeyoulook51]

That fucking guy at the end holy shit

[@kugelblitz2001]

The Revenge of Card Shop Life #693: Rudy finally opens the card shop.

[@Zewiq]

0:37 holy shit rudy has legs??

[@Bananasforthesoul]

Zewiq yeah right, totally a green screen.

[@BangThatGong]

Zewiq and he's wearing pants... I don't believe it for one second

[@kevinjohnson2054]

Great video, ty for promoting books that'd never be recognized otherwise. I'm a truck driver, OTR, but it's cool that you are supporting others. :)

[@danl.4565]

Bought Ryan's book, thanks for the tip Lord Taco...

[@MightyXelf]

Great video again, Sir, I bought Ryan's Book I am exactly the target customer for this stuff!

[@blazenjestergames4025]

We got nothing but love for you here Rudy! And ty for showing off those books I'll be ordering them myself, cause most the time all I do is sit behind my computer and wait and wait surely I work from home I work for myself but it gets boring sometimes, so books are always good company!

[@artyfowl444]

This was a really nice video, Rudy. I needed a sort of positive boost because I've been surrounded by so much negativity and toxicity lately. It really does seem like that's what everyone wants to put out lately.

[@Screcy]

The new Alpha Investments card shop commercial !!!! 16:12 - 17:20 I hope to see that on TV in the near future !

[@suonie]

I feel bad for the guy. It's 2021 and prices have sky rocketed. I've watched most of your new videos Rudy, and now I'm going back to watch your older videos now. You're a legend.

[@ulrickts]

Hey Rudy! Thanks for opening my fanmail. I was the one with the token you thought was a fake (sorry that threw you off). I just wanted to throw in a bunch of weird cards I had with silly art as I offloaded the collection that actually had value. Thanks for talking about the Italian Legends thing! I had a ton of cards that would be worth a fortune if they were English, but were basically nothing for being Italian!

[@georg194]

Thank you for the video Rudy, please do not stop reminding people that being human asks of you to be human

[@TheRoadsidePhotographer]

I love you Rudy! With a burning passion in my floppy taco.

[@TheOrian34]

What Brad Kelly went through, I can understand what he went through. Not easy but never give up on life.

[@Shatamx]

These are my favorite videos. Really puts shit in perspective.

[@optimusWII]

You got a letter from Raaanch, that's awesome! He really is a super nice guy

[@coreyrussell9732]

Rudy, you should go and have 'Rudy's book club'. Every month, pick a book from a lesser known author, discuss it in a video, and then put a link for it in the description. Maybe make a deal for patrons or something.

[@fishthejew1]

I expect these lifelesson videos but they still trip me up and get to me. Goddamn Rudy, for being a clickbaity magic channel you really are an incredible individual. // Swedish Rudy

[@cyberneticthezero]

much love Rudy in T'woo's shirt here

[@blazenjestergames4025]

I heard this quote yesterday and I would like to share this with you all. FEAR has two meanings. Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise.

[@mtgnoob9988]

Thanks for sharing the books! Just bought a ton of legacy bulk and excited to go through it

[@aahmad1674]

Great video and topic about books and about the bigger things in life. Really like the fan mail part and stuff outside of MTG that you show in your videos. Next time I see someone starting something great will think about helping them out. Thumbs up.

[@mpellis22]

The haters are all the kids from middle school that you traded Silvos, rogue elementals for their fetch lands. The people that enjoy this are the 30 somethings that had the dream to open their own card store and do what they love, and you my man had the balls to do it and make it happen. Keep on keepin on

[@11gingin]

most interesting video with least number of views. same old youtube.

[@MTGUnscrewed]

Was flopping my taco...saw this notification...clicked video ...sees some random cards and......still flopping my taco.

[@MrRant247]

God damn! Rudy is at 90k subs! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

[@AMVmushroom]

open the damn shop Rudy!

[@xaer0knight]

I love Ryan Rooks book, still waiting for Volume Two. His cited source are better than Wikipedia ^_^

[@peanutbuttertoast1252]

You know this is a serious video when Rudy actually wears pants for it.

[@WeskersPlayhouse]

Good Guy Rudy up in here, wish I had money I would love to try _The Inquisitive and the Damned_

[@theneutralgood]

Best AI RoCSL yet. You're on in our office a lot, thanks for the company!

[@bobchan5329]

Love the intro and the music to go with it.

[@brysonxiao947]

Best buy sells old school Pokemon? Oh wait it is all green screen I forgot.

[@delta-game]

We all love you Rudy!

[@MrLamo2k1]

Italian Legends sounds like a new Modern Masters style set

[@philxdev]

"ALL of my friends HATE you " is a whole lot better than "All of my friends DO NOT KNOW you"!

[@mohsinvibes1192]

George is a legend

[@grimmbeatZ]

Ohhh man what an amazing train of Pokemon cards! Id love to have one of those platinum poster boxes! So bad ass 🙏🏼

[@davidstowe5652]

Great job and good luck 👍🇺🇸👍. 👏👏👏👏👏. 🌮🌮🌮

[@langgalea4330]

Give starving artists a chance! Buy art from new people, buy intro music from cheap startups, and buy animation from new/cheap animators! If you aren't into the KZbin scene, give LGS's a chance, buy off brand books, and eat in holes in the wall. You don't have to be a hipster to find good things that aren't popular.

[@mimszanadunstedt441]

Nice intro this time Rudy, was entertaining n fresh.

[@FurLbauth]

you have been making such great videos for a long time man surprised you're not at 1 mil subscribers

[@G11Marksman]

Rudy's editing is improving.... as is the floppiness of my taco with each successive episode

[@llordroquid2]

Hey rudy! Been a long time fan of your vids! I got into magic because of you and the professor. Keep doing what you do and goodluck on your endeavors!

[@llordroquid2]

I started with a black deck with all basic cards. I have a dream to make a deck based on sanguine bond. But here, in the Philippines, its kind hard to find it. ( i know only one card shop and its a long way from my house). I enjoy playing a lot! And found some friends to play with. Now we are building our cube. Can you help us build it?

[@hughmyers8583]

In an alternative universe, there is a Rudy who has only ever eaten rock-hard tacos and has never been to hose-town, not even once. Think about that.

[@screwthenet]

I still say that Alliance Soldier of Fortune card looks like Val Kilmer from Willow (1988) ^~^

[@youngmage]

10 seconds in. That is some mighty fine camera control.

[@tgamingbelgie182]

i feel with the guy that's sick, as i'm an MS patient to. Stay strong!

[@Cosper79]

Rudy do a video on your Summer Magic cards.

[@zzafrica87]

+1

[@kevinjohnson2054]

That would be great!

[@endtimestcg5146]

Rudy you truly have a great Heart! That is why you are great. You are a Boss.... but a Boss with a Heart! Thank you. Life can be sad....but If you can take all that shit and make something positive out of it.... hopefully, if you are not broken down to much.... who knows...what cool thing could happen^^ "THE BEST REVANGE IS MASSIVE SUCCESS!" Frank Sinatra

[@moldytaters4190]

Damn, that's disappointing. I feel bad for those people, I really do. And I do like the dude who finds out how to care for all the little things. :)

[@antoniebrongers1055]

OMG RUDY WITH A T-SHIRT

[@Xaddio]

Give us MOAR shop videos! :D

[@BraniusBalki]

That's a Douglas Adams Character, the delivery driver that wrote fiction. I might have just made that up.

[@retromtg1834]

Do you have any Summer Magic? That would make a great video, I love stuff like that its what brought me to your channel. That and your insane floppiness

[@PackCrackFever]

The opening shot here rivals the greatest long takes in american cinema.

[@NeonKnight83]

Pack Crack Fever Rudy > Scorsese

[@mahern92]

Hey Rudy! I run a game store out here in California, and I would love to get in contact with you and Ryan to try and see if I can get my hands on some of those books for my store. It definitely seems like a great read, and a fine way to learn the history of Magic. Please let me know if this is possible!

[@nathan5484]

This is the greatest video ever.

[@SomeJustice19k]

You should have flung Scott's cards on the ground for wearing his uniform while off duty. #POG

[@youtubasoarus]

Love these f'ing videos! :D

[@LastAirshipGames]

Dude, when you're not driving around that cool van during lunch time you should open your store so I can buy some cards.

[@MrAejones]

Very sensitive Rudy here That's cool :)

[@johnc6497]

Publishing books has never been easier with access to online/E-publication, but it's also never been harder for it to actually mean anything. I write for my own benefit and E-published the first in a series, and it was/is basically non-existent to the world as any book is but one in millions

[@Zynsk1]

New theory. Rudy is actually an international cocaine smuggler using MTG as a a dark pool market to launder his money, and the random dude who walked in is clearly his boss.

[@chuckchuck8487]

Hell that's a book right there..... Cardboard crack

[@justsomenerd8925]

I bet that dude didn't have a pass to travel that far from base. That's why he was freaking out a little.

[@BloodWingKinghts]

Rudy, will you expand your store into other hobbies? Boardgames, miniature wargaming?

[@Raaanch]

You know it baby.

[@miikey376]

Another video of card warehouse life.

[@implode3]

So guy from Georgia brought his friend with him because he was afraid some creep would steal his cards?

[@MrJuma1978]

I'll take the revised serra angels. I collect those.

[@lordartec]

that Twoo shirt

[@travytrav3567]

Right on Rudy!!

[@Kurufinwe_Fayanaro]

What happened to the Small Business Review ie Exodus and MegaCorp? I loved that.

[@apavia100]

Bought your shirt cause you're cool never bought a Magic Card though

[@TheClosetGamer]

Pretty sure the card shop is a cover for the IRS at this point. Don't worry, I won't tell.

[@NaldoNidoking]

Rudy, that facial hair is causing my taco to reach never before seen floppy status. Keep it.

[@mangoman9290]

Love ya Rudy!

[@vauk5081]

Camden Battlegrounds is my LCS. It's not half bad.

[@leitem99]

194th comment. Good luck getting to 500 Rudy!

[@Bender5164]

Everyday Card Shop Life!!!!!!

[@oceanman6066]

It doesn't take a genius to see there is too much hate in this world~ Naruto Shippuden. This may sound stupid because it was just from an anime. But it thought me many things and that revenge fuelled by hate feeds the cycle of hate. Life is too short to make enemy's in.

[@seanrose1720]

Italian Legends had a higher print run because WotC didn't take into account the difference between a shit ton and a metric shit ton.

[@wizzywig8217]

"Sitting in a room full of cardboard makes me happy" - Rudy

[@robodinosaurs]

best intro yet

[@spooky_zen]

the random cardshop bros lol

[@JBBost]

Magic4Bad represent!

[@oxiarr2897]

what happened to this series? i loved these videos

[@lolomicardoso3744]

Lol I was just watching all of these yesterday. I agree!!!!

[@NirDine]

Those Lodestone Baubles are like $4 each.

[@RobbieLeeFYI]

Cool video.

[@a.gentleman5441]

holy shit. I remember working at bestbuy when they tried to make us sell those. no one bought a single package. magnezone is not a marketable character, and the card is awful.

[@jorgetorres7730]

Scott we saw you. -sincerely the internet

[@tetsuiga101]

The second time at least Rudy brings up Alt 4th. When are you going to a video on them? I've gone to stores before and scoured inventories to find a few, but would love hear your thoughts

[@Nah_Bohdi]

I only need two books. A dictionary and a book with a gun inside of it.

[@michaelharbach1987]

Play the hand you're dealt.

[@Duranous1]

If you never make any enemies then you aren't really doing anything that matters

[@DiscoveringMtG]

It has been months in the making, but when will the store be open for business?
