I live in Nz. One day my mums friend took my brother and I to their friends house. I met two brothers who had to this day the largest mtg collection I had ever seen. I remember looking at all the 3rd edition clones in a neat order and my mind was blown. Wonder if this was from them. Thank you Rudy, very heartfelt.
I really appreciate the fact you say the cards are "well loved" instead of just bashing on the owners for the condition. Because the fact of the matter is that it was. It saw games, it was shown off as that key point of that one rogue strategy, and admired by the player who owned it. While it's not great for investing...I can't imagine a better life those cards had.
Great video Rudy, watched the first half during my break at work, finished it now. Love these audits and hearing your opinions on the market especially as I’ve only been in magic for about a year
Started playing when Beta hit the Midwest. It's not uncommon for some higher powered cards (think creatures back then) to have to edges marked up. Reason was deck sleeves didn't exist. So when you shuffled your deck you could see if you big guns were closer to the top or buried deep...and you kept shuffling!
The light crease on the top, center of the pearl looks like it accidentally was bent when it didn’t go into a sleeve easily. I had that happen before but with a breeding pool.
My beta time twister has the same level of touch up on it. Then again I got it for 80 instead of 270 it was listed at at the time so I can’t say I didn’t know. Considering I just wanted the full set to have and play with in sleeves, I am still glad I bought it despite the heavy markings.
Rudy good for you.💎🤲 I appreciate your videos. You do teach us alot. Rudy you don't have 300,000+ subscribers on your channel for nothing. You truly have taught me alot 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🙏
My Sapphire and Emerald Moxes looked a lot like that Mox Jet. But I had traded several Revised rares for each so no big deal to me. By the time I sold my collection they had appreciated in price.
I heard this from my local game store, so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently the factories where top loaders are made have shifted production to face screens for health care workers and are only making a fraction of the top loaders they used to, hence lower supply.
@@Garahs thanks for the info! I'm mean I get it kinda, but at the same time there's this huge tcg boom and I have an obligation to full the needs of timmy's everywhere! How am I supposed to conduct a professional business out of my 12 story garage with no toploaders? Timmy's are going to be out raged if I just use cardboard and then I'll get bad feedback!
Surprised they had these cards in NZ from that era. The earlier sets never made it Downunder, though I suppose by Unlimited there must have been some circulating?🤔
As a German, I can confirm that those cards are German. I'm a big fan of your channel keep up the good work. I wish you would have been around in my Timmy days when I gifted away my Pokemon cards around 2000...
I like LP that I intend to use in decks. They have eye appeal, utility, and if you add any light wear to the card, you're not dramatically reducing the value.
Yes. Short answer. NM/M and are for hardcore investors with the capital. HP and MP will eventually be worth a lot when the better kept cards are put into safes forever
I cannot believe someone was buying Tempest card while "not even knowing the power of nine" and left a bunch of old moxes in a binder for years because they weren't "compatbile with new decks". Someone around had to know for sure.
Even as a Pokemon collector, there's a part of me that would love a complete set of these old Magic cards if they weren't so expensive even in heavy play.
I have been meaning to ask you Rudy, when you buy a collection and the cards are dirty as far as the surface goes. Do you try to clean them, or do you just leave them as is?
Not a market guy but ist the fact that the dual lands having more playability have to do with the fact that they are worth more so much as compared to older more rare cards that dont really get used if at all. I mean I know for a fact that people are searching for any good lands regardless of condition to make decks so those revised dual lands would be the easiest to move and get a return on than an alpha/beta that is for collectors use only.
Would also more likely sell this stuff to someone who keeps it. If the prices skyrocket, you know someone earns the money that could have been yours, but you can ignore that if you know they never change hands again.
if you have a card that's inked like that, the best thing you can do (other than playing it in a deck of course) is have it professionally altered into an extended art card by a skilled painter.
Why hasn’t Wizards made a “Beta” master set yet? Like have a new master set but have all the card frames look like the “beta card” frame..it would see like hot cakes. Especially if they did fetch lands or shocks with the beta frame
Here in europe, FWB duals are like 95% as Revised; theres little difference. Mostly, if somebody has the duals in its language, tends to go towards owning/wanting the duals of his language. Italians, french and germans are lucky, so everybody else miht still take the FWBs or go for Revised. But yeah theres little difference.
You say the dual lands and the power 9 prices have to balance out.... IE the power 9 go higher, due the higher price of the dual lands. I think it's more complicated than that. The cost of entry of a $200-$1000 dual land is still almost half of the cost of the lowest power 9. Dual lands are expensive, but affordable. When people think about buying Power 9 cards, the question becomes... "Do I want to eat this month, or do I want a power 9 card"...
Also, the actual demand is just way higher for dual lands. Legacy players want 4 of a dual land to use. Nobody but investors needs more than one of a Mox.
no. either they're bought by people with cash to spare, or by people who've had access to and sold other (old) cards. I don't think there are many non-investors who step into os magic from scratch and buy duals and power these days
You will have to pre agree to sell the collection and it must contain high value stuff. He wont just make a video of some fancy collection to send it back. Too much risk involved.

oooh I love my mox diamond. beautiful card.
I am poud to still have my sealed German revised Booster box here at home that I once thought about selling to you Rudy :D
FWB or FBB? Very nice, if you don’t need the money you should save it :)
In Europe the FWB duals are about the same price as usual rivised. They’re not English but the colouring is much better, more like Unlimited.
also i heard it is less likely for them to be fake, as people who fake cards usually go for english versions
@@mtgbast Yeah I guess. Never seen fake FWB or even FBB duals.
@@timw9745 whats fwb and fbb?
@@gunterlauch2241 foreign white border and foreign black border. Its the german, italian and french printings of revised in ‘95.
Hey, Rudy, is there any sharpie in that sapphire's back?
Haha! that jet looks like the ruby I used to have back in the day.
The desleeving process so much work lol
So when does Rudy's Magic Museum open?
Is that two roller lines on the Mox Ruby?
Mmh, about FBB/FWB, prices in Europe are about FBB like Revised, FWB like 50ct a dollar. Plus minus 30% maybe, for comparable qualities.
Rudy, should I invest in heavily played and damaged reserved list cards?
I like LP that I intend to use in decks. They have eye appeal, utility, and if you add any light wear to the card, you're not dramatically reducing the value.
Yes. Put all your money into it.
Yes. Short answer. NM/M and are for hardcore investors with the capital. HP and MP will eventually be worth a lot when the better kept cards are put into safes forever
No on damaged, yes on HP.
Use isopropyl alcohol on the sides to remove the marker

ruby also has the thumb crease at the middle top
How do you think the market and people would react if the reserved list was removed?
Papa Rudy bless. 🙏
Rudy. Use a piece of white printer paper behind the card in the future and we can see it.
Waiting for the day Rudy reveals his end game has always been to flood the market to drive down prices and save Legacy/Vintage
So I was just messing around on ebay and found a fake mox jet it looks good you should buy somthing along those lines and tare it apart in a video
