Rudy I come from the future ravaged by covid. I’m currently in my garage cleaning it and listening to your old videos. Love you man ❤️

[@tomrutherford3488]

Thank God the store is ok. I was on edge for a while and i was slipping into a deep depression due to the well documented withdrawal symptoms that comes with a lack of card shop life. I was in a dark place and now the light pierces through the clouds to show an array of hope. A glimmer of card shop life. Praise Jesus.

[@Trump-hi1kp]

Deep Sea Magic Did you give up on posting videos?

[@tomrutherford3488]

Ive just been really busy lately, should start posting next month probably after my final exams.

[@Trump-hi1kp]

Deep Sea Magic im excited.

[@TastySnackies]

THOSE HARD SLEEVES DID NOTHING WRONG RUDY, LEAVE THEM ALONE! #sleevelivesmatter

[@TheSithHaveCookies]

TastyMTG They had families.

[@Alexpawpaw]

that intro was a work of art

[@ShipitGames]

this shop is the most stocked place ive ever seen incredible

[@Pookie2112]

ShipitGames too bad he only opens 1 day a week

[@ShipitGames]

that's unfortunate seems like a great place to get whatever u need assuming hes the only one who works there

[@kronickingpin]

ShipitGames he only has a brick and mortar so he can get deals and buy stuff from distribution and other business stuff like that

[@tweedle634]

he only opens 1 day a week? what's it called?

[@MMKMoore1]

I'm glad your shop came out OK. I really enjoy your videos, even though I haven't played in ages. They've inspired me to pull out (giggity) my old collection and immerse myself in them. Love that old card smell!

[@jerry00047]

Can you make a video on inventory management? What type of system do you use and how do you manage inventory from multiple locations? Maybe some tips and tricks to negotiations with suppliers or with customers would be a fun idea as well.

[@justanotherdude32]

Wish I lived closer Rudy. I'd totally shop there. Looks awesome! Puts my local shop to shame for sure.

[@trainern8173]

Lmao your the Closed Captions actually shows "Almond Cat" 🤣😂👌

[@ThePedro1233]

Hey Rudy, this video was really nice and refreshing. Just a down to earth on how the shop and life, in general, is going. I'm honestly less interested in card purchases (though onestly sealed product purchases/mail days are my jam), than I am with the mindset and being able to relate to someone who's working hard for his goals. when I saw this video was somewhat old, I didn't think I was going to get much out of it. But I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the content Rude dude

[@jaybyrdcybertruck1082]

Enjoyed all your card shop videos and applaud you on doing business at it in your own way! its working! and Hope you make millions and have some good adventures in it.

[@soldierofmankind]

The last 2 minutes of this video is a good message to get on a Monday morning. Cheers mate. Giggity.

[@vauk5081]

Rudy, you keep doing you. You're living the life I wish I had, doing something you actually enjoy.

[@MatthewBaran]

That hurricane was fun. I live down in Tampa, took 18 and a couple valium so I enjoyed it. Didn't lose power 😄

[@L0j1k]

Thanks for giving me the inner strength to pull a Gaea's Cradle this weekend at Ixalan prerelease, Rudy!

[@scottsims9711]

L0j1k not a cradle

[@Flickstro]

Glad to see your store didn't suffer any damage. :)

[@robertconner580]

You didn't say floppy tacos...... I'M CRUSHED!!!!!!!

[@twotothemorgue5632]

There is such a huge difference in some of the cards! Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. It's crazy because they basically look counterfeit.

[@MidnightAge]

I like these videos. Crazy Rudy is fun, sure. But I kind of like earnest, sincere Rudy. I'm also glad that you guys made it through the hurricane alright. Take care, mate.

[@pepsifan013]

going though a P&L of your store would be really interesting to break down the numbers!

[@Makotousaki]

looks like such a comfy card store.

[@nathandrake8476]

Thank you for the video. Looking forward to next one with the financial numbers, please more of this Kind of video

[@duacot6633]

Thank you for making this series. It's very educational. Fish tacos for the win!

[@hannahcave4403]

One thing I was thinking about when we didn't have power was, I hope Rudy is okay in Florida and that all his stuff stays okay

[@matthewknecht7365]

Yep, have stock from Kaladesh whose backs look like they have a brown stone that blends in to the "leather", instead of being "black".

[@joshua_lee732]

Would be nice to see some of the other people in the store. Seen it in operation and such.

[@dudewhoisnotfunny]

The tables behind the showcase could be replaced with some small shelving units to store more in that space

[@TDragonus]

Sounds like what you really need are some staffpeople to help you in the store, Rudy.

[@pallerunqvist1]

RUDY....YOUR ALIVE!!! Thank god, i thought that Mrs. Irma took you and left only useless Magic cards around. Btw intro needs some Phil Collins In the Air Tonight.

[@Jim-yh5uj]

I love how Rudy's store is just a front to buy people's collections. It's not a real card store. It's just a neutral location.

[@dekatexas]

my favorite part is that the never ending pasta bowl is back !!

[@Zaknaberrnon]

0:43 hahaha silly Rudy now he has to clean all those up

[@cooleddie1438]

Hello

[@marekjurcik]

Everytime Rudy says: "That's it, guys," I know I am about in the half of the vid.-) Keep rockin', dude!

[@BarryStewart]

Couldn't keep my taco floppy with an intro like that

[@700NitroXpress]

A bunch of the Commander 2017 decks had faded foils for the Vampire decks. All the legendary foils had faded text, the images were fine, but for some reason the text wasn't. The rest of the cards in the deck were fine. Also, a lot of Amonkeht boosters had damaged cards or miscut cards in the packs, like their cutting machine was jamming and they put the messed up cards in the packs anyway.

[@NicoTown]

Speaking of faded cards! I have 3 Whip Of Erebos in my collection that almost looks like three differenct cards because of the diffrence in color! Its insane!

[@Gyousel]

Can't you get tall display cases to keep product in it to add to display space?

[@theneutralgood]

When I can't be in my office talking to myself, I watch Rudy do it for me.

[@Backiinthegame]

Was planning on doing homework while planning to listen to this like a podcast. As I go back to my studies, music starts, "Oh wow this is pretty relaxing, I could get used to this" Literally 5 seconds later, *romasdmadasdjjasdjasd* *How dare you ruin my elevator music experience*

[@Protorit]

I've noticed the lighter "pastel color" cards a lot recently, especially in kaladesh. In my experience, the rare is normal and half the pack is randomly pastel. Cards from the pre-release are often darker than later printings or have BOLD text.

[@StrikerELF]

What brand are those chairs and tables and where can i get them? Especially those chairs. I never seen black chairs at a locals!

[@MTGUnpacked]

Amazing intro. Glad the store is okay!

[@Leopardgecko20]

I've pulled a few bad quality cards one was a rare from kaladesh and another was an amonkhet land that looked like it was doused in urine.

[@The_Grimsun]

I noticed when I was going through my commons and uncommons for a new edh deck yesterday that like half of the cards from the last 3-4 sets are like losing their ink? Like the cards were fine when I got them but now they are like whited out. All they have been doing is sitting in a box in my house. I guess all the rubbing between the tightly packed cards like stripped all the color. Worst ones are the black cards. I am thinking I might send you a few examples, but man what shit quality control.

[@henrygomez7142]

You're about to get one of those subscribe buttons Rudy.

[@toydisorder]

Hi Ruddy, I am working in Orlando this week and would love to come visit your store. What part of Florida are you in?

[@CypresssChill]

Rudy, do you use a Humidore to store your most expensive magic cards? If yes, can you recommend any product, that works best for storing magic cards?

[@FinalManaTrigger]

I wish we had a card shop like this in my area. Wanna open one in the "armpit of California", Rudy? I'll manage it for you!

[@MrInfernoblade10]

Yay, Rudy's alive and enjoying more tacos!

[@Feyyore]

I need to send you some stuff myself. XD I had some terrible quality printing with battle for zendi. Had like half a booster box of bad faded cards. >.>

[@TheBrain6592]

best intro ever, thank you rudy

[@antoniebrongers1055]

Hey Rudy, I was curious about the FNM scene at the Card Shop

[@iliketostealyourthoughts]

I have a bunch of cards that are faded like that from the 2 boxes of Take the Crown I opened.

[@souljaboys911]

I pulled the ixalan jace and it looked like the filigree familiar

[@vox207]

Almost a 100k subs?! Keep up the good work!

[@BigHitCards]

i'm down in lehigh acres, fl. we got crushed by the hurricane

[@rickyhineman4124]

Hey Rudy, how can I get a few of those Megacorp starters from you?

[@RazzleDazzle23]

not sure if those security doors are installed to hold him inside that shack

[@keasop]

I use to work at true manufacturing making fridges a little bigger than that.

[@nicolasgaona4264]

Yesterday I went to the ixalan pre release and got the 30 dollars carnage tyrant, should I sell it ? or wait

[@slimewaytv6067]

In the next video could you tell us how the hurricane affected your shop. Btw I love your videos and you always make me laugh So good luck in the Future. :)

[@AsbakNL]

man cant sleep when my taco gets floppy because rudy had to upload a video

[@artzilla3]

Welcome back, do people play at this location? How do keep folks packed into your store?

[@KManHU]

When will you have a grand opening of the store?

[@thetrivialone]

So, is this location only open by appointment? Do you have plans to have it open 5 days a week?

[@bartonsblasts1558]

Hey Rudy, when you do the finance video and or in the future are you going to make a distributor video. With info on who you use and why and some of the pros and cons of different distributors ? With specifics.

[@adamnickel8223]

The quality issues have been going around for some time now. Yesterday at Ixilan pre-release, one guy had two rares missing the holo wizard's logo at the bottom. Basically turned a 4$ rare worthless. My favorite example is from BfZ. I have a Lifespring Druid that is lime green! Edit: My buddy bought the cat commander deck. All of the foil rares have super faded text. Its getting annoying.

[@BeautifulMadeline]

Exodus tcg and play,ats are just spectacular.

[@testthewest123]

Looking forward to your numbers video.

[@bitencourtef]

Where is oyur first store? what is the name of it?

[@DarkApocalyptiaX]

Ey are you doing preorders on iconic masters?

[@codelicious6590]

Hey if you do plan to put shelving down the center of the room, you should probably not use the same type you're using againstvtge wall- you will need something that's more stable as a free-standing unit. Safety first.

[@youtubasoarus]

I wonder if you'll show us any FNM's or when people are at the store playing? I think that'd be cool to see. The store looks awesome! :D

[@RenegadeVash]

Is the store actually open or are you just using it as a shipping location?

[@DeathmentalPvP]

Will you have Ixalan boxes after this month?

[@travislangert5978]

I'm new to Jacksonville I really want to check out your shop we're is it? People only tell me about cool stuff games and jax Game Center ?

[@ricciryanrojo]

Oh boy wait til rudy meets commander legends cardstock

[@zeke-7836]

This was the best episode yet

[@naeast]

does rudy do anything with weiss?

[@raingodmusic]

Yo the intro music is on point.

[@lucarioknightb7685]

I...actually kinda like the look of that filagree familiar...

[@swsgaming4878]

I was expecting Rudy to start serenading me with his beautiful voice 20 seconds into the video...

[@TheLimalicious]

It takes more than a little wind to defloppify the quintessential Florida Man!

[@Brad87257]

Is this store still open?

[@palpatinevevo9773]

Did anyone pull anything nice in the pre release?

[@nayaleezy]

that intro was a masterpiece

[@gamer3178]

ill drive to you how much for oath pre release packs

[@MoosGoCow1]

But Rudy! How do you feel about the new bushoroad tcg Dragoborne???!

[@usssj4vegeta]

ruby think of that light ink on a foil and thats what i opened on a uncommon foil from ixalon

[@tgamingbelgie182]

Do you ship to belgium? I'm liking those mega corps decks. Taco out

[@benfilmont2619]

does rudy operate solely out of ebay

[@adampatrick6671]

That intro though!;)

[@malte19930]

I understand that u use the store the way u do (to meet people and buy collection etc.), But if a random bypasser comes in and wants to to buy a Display off whatever mtg set, are u then gonna sell it or are u exclusively using the store for collection dealing or do u also just sell product as a normal cardstore would do ?

[@MrBeef-sh3lc]

Likely both. Why have display cases if you are using it just for storage? Amirite?

[@warhead42gaming]

I'd really like to know what dude paid for those old pre-release kits.

[@samhill2070]

What are you doing after that

[@raingodmusic]

Jeez man you are creative.

[@wynnmurray6801]

We’re makin’ people happy, we’re makin’ people happy. Creepy Rudy time...

[@drock1717]

Did it open yet?

[@vking7]

Saw you some Dragoborne promotional stuff. Is that going anywhere? Is it doomed to be another game like Buddyfight where you'll snag a million boxes of the old sets once the value tanks?

[@daubinks]

This song made me go listen to terryfolds flappy foldy holds
