The only thing I disagree about is the statement that the value of the cards, or effectively the EV of the box, does not affect the price. It may not affect the ratio of Price to EV, but the value of the cards in the set definitely affects the final value of the box. This is why a Stronghold box which has an EV of $1300 has a price of $8k-$10k and a box of Fallen Empires with an EV of $121 has a price of $1000. The spread is about the same at 7-9x because of the age, but the final price is very dependent on the value of the cards.
@@The_Outkeeper Supply certainly has some to do with it but I think because there is such a disparity in prices, this shows how little impact supply has on the box price. The reason the cards are so cheap is more to do with the fact that they are terrible cards and not really playable unless you are doing constructed play. To me, the price of the sealed box is much more closely related to the value of the cards. Rudy is correct in saying that the value of an old box does go up even if the cards suck. But this is a perfect example of the magnitude of the increase based on the value of the cards. both are about 7-9x the EV. The target final value is that the EV is 10% of the sealed box value and should move proportionally to the increase in EV as time goes on.

Great video Rudy, thank you for it! I watch you since the beginning and I am the guy with the German revised Booster Box that once thought about selling it to you. I am glad I didn't :p

With 10-year treasury yields continually hiking and poised to explode and take off any time; excess liquidity pressuring its way into the tiniest cracks, testing the limits of financial repression structures; and a record issuance and parabolic rise in SPACCs (Special Purpose Acquisition Cardboard Companies)-the markets stand, strained, pulled by opposing forces into a state of tension that can snap at a moment, sending prices in any direction. _Recommendation:_ Don't be a Timmy-make sure to carefully diversify your portfolio with allocations to meme stocks, meme coins, non-played CCGs like Flesh and Blood, and a small cash reserve to pounce on Musk Tweets opportunities as they present themselves.

Imagine the day when there isn’t any more gold... and there isn’t ever going to be any more of it. The earth is completely exhausted... all that’s left is what’s out there now. Sealed product is gold bars sitting in a vault. Gold will get made into jewelry, used in electronics... it just dwindles. Whatever is left can do nothing but go up until nobody wants gold for anything anymore. I think there will always be people that want magic cards, particularly the older ones. Even with baseball cards, comics and other hobbies dwindling... the classic stuff, the most iconic stuff, the historically relevant rare stuff continues to be desired, continues to appreciate in value.
@Lexington73300 that does not say much. Niche services and markets have been shown to have huge profit margins if you have the knowledge to move the items. That stranger that chose the gold because he thought "oh easy money" just lost thousands of dollars because he was uninformed.
I wish there were more people talking about things like this rather than all the bullshit you see on social media of people "day gambling" and all their get rich schemes. People keep digging themselves deeper into their own shitty situation and they don't even realize it. They look for anything else to blame rather than looking inward and seeing that they are setting themselves up for failure.
Well his comment is the first "smart" comment I saw today. Not saying others are dumb, but obviously ppl tends to keep their head tightly set in their ass, disappointed when others speaks about what’s outside.
As a cardboard liberator I like to know that my role is opening product and enjoying it, while the evil investors lick their chops knowing that's just one less sealed box or pack in existence. You're welcome....
He even gets patrons to buy his sealed and opens it for more yt revenue while simultaneously pushing tbr price of his own remaining inventory. This whole video is actually title "why you should never open a sealed box and just wait for the next guy to watch this video and buy it from you for profit".
They way I explain it is as the box gets older the wrapper around it gets more expensive than the cards inside. It's pretty much the same with every collectible that has "sealed" versions.
Thanks for your feedback and support 👍 I will advise you to diversify your portfolio and start my earning strategy with little capital to earn good profits using my strategies...
Normally at these types of seminars, there's complementary coffee, doughnuts, and tacos in the hallway. I was pretty disappointed to not see anything of the sort when I looked down my hallway after the presentation. I was really looking forward to a cheese danish. So I thumbs downed 42 times and will be filling for a refund. Great information though.
7:50 Given the speech on Timmies being obsessed with the value of cards... Can anyone explain to me why Rudy is upset with the value of standard cards and modern cards? He's brought that up several times lately that this is a problem and yet based on this video it would be a homerun investment to buy Kaldheim boxes and sit on them long term. Just like any modern focused product that's sealed would be. Because over time whats in the boxes doesn't matter.
I don't want to speak for Rudy, but my impression is that he's referring to the price of singles going nuts lately. The discussion in the video is specific to the value of sealed product over long periods of time vs. the price of singles week-to-week. His explanation of the E.V. of boxes (in other words, the value of individual cards that "Timmies are obsessed with") only going up slightly, while the price of a sealed box goes up ~10x in that same period of time, is highlighting how to invest money into magic cards while minimizing risk. So, buying 6 boxes of a set to try to get specific cards to flip is a MUCH riskier endeavor than buying those same 6 boxes as an investment and holding them long-term as sealed product. With singles prices skyrocketing recently, some of the people flipping cards ARE making some money short-term. This can build bad habits though, because eventually the singles market is going to re-stabilize, and using that same strategy will result in losses long-term. Another issue that is separate (sort of) from finance, high prices of cards are gate-keeping to new players. There is a lot to discuss there, but trying to keep this comment focused on finance.
@@dumediat_ yea your right about all that so I've been buying boxes just to hold on to but I still like getting packs and hitting some big cards fun but like you said as an investment its better to hold onto sealed product even just if you dont have alot of money get one seald old pack and work up to boxes.
It's astounding to think that if my parents had given me a few thousand dollars in high school to buy a bunch of Urza's Saga boxes I'd be a millionaire now.
Nah, most likely you would not have spent the few thousand to buy those boxes. Even if you somehow did, and resisted opening them, you likely would have sold them when their price doubled or tripled. The only way you would have held on to now is if you used a time machine (and the Time Police will be after you) or if you bought them and somehow abandoned them but found them again (e.g. you thought they were lost in a move but they weren't, misplaced then located them later, etc.)
@@HighChancellorAdam you have severely over estimated the competence and intellect of the time police. You'd find better law enforcement agents in reruns of Cops, but then you'd have an 80% chance of just randomly picking a bunch of life long white supremacists by sifting through that shitshow.
Good guy Rudy. Greek loving Timmy's should arm themselves with knowledge. Even a small Timmy can mitigate risk, improve their cost basis and probability of success.

Love when you do vids like this. One thing you didn't discuss about your box investing techniques is popularity/playability of certain sets. Yes, all boxes gain value over time but I'm curious if you choose more based on age and current price or if you look at those other factors when building up your stock. On a side note it would be awesome to get your opinion in a video on the new Digimon TCG which you've briefly mentioned in a few vids. Those boxes are being scalped like crazy (and people paying it) for a brand new game that doesn't even have an in person playing circuit yet. Is it just that there has been a long gap since they had a TCG or just the way the market is right now?
Yup. Playing with no land because FE didn't give you any and your LGS was actually 70 miles away and the gas station 8 miles away that sold MTG didn't get sealed decks because they didn't sell to existing players.

With 10-year treasury yields continually hiking and poised to explode and take off any time; excess liquidity pressuring its way into the tiniest cracks, testing the limits of financial repression structures; and a record issuance and parabolic rise in SPACCs (Special Purpose Acquisition Cardboard Companies)-the markets stand, strained, pulled by opposing forces into a state of tension that can snap at a moment, sending prices in any direction. _Recommendation:_ Don't be a Timmy-make sure to carefully diversify your portfolio with allocations to meme stocks, meme coins, non-played CCGs like Flesh and Blood, and a small cash reserve to pounce on Musk Tweets opportunities as they present themselves.
Thanks for your feedback and support 👍
I will advise you to diversify your portfolio and start my earning strategy with little capital to earn good profits using my strategies..
I don't know anything about what you're talking about but I love your energy so I watched it anyway 🤣
So, I don't comment often, but I love the fact you look and sound like Jim Carey in the mask when he whips out the till and calculator in the club.
xDDD
Imagine the day when there isn’t any more gold... and there isn’t ever going to be any more of it. The earth is completely exhausted... all that’s left is what’s out there now.
Sealed product is gold bars sitting in a vault. Gold will get made into jewelry, used in electronics... it just dwindles. Whatever is left can do nothing but go up until nobody wants gold for anything anymore.
I think there will always be people that want magic cards, particularly the older ones. Even with baseball cards, comics and other hobbies dwindling... the classic stuff, the most iconic stuff, the historically relevant rare stuff continues to be desired, continues to appreciate in value.
@Lexington73300 that does not say much. Niche services and markets have been shown to have huge profit margins if you have the knowledge to move the items. That stranger that chose the gold because he thought "oh easy money" just lost thousands of dollars because he was uninformed.
Arbitrage= anger + curly fries
Shit! I am missing out on angry curly fries!!!
I just want the curly fries. I don't do well with spice.
I gotta watch the rest of this later. Saved!Love the visor.
I wish there were more people talking about things like this rather than all the bullshit you see on social media of people "day gambling" and all their get rich schemes. People keep digging themselves deeper into their own shitty situation and they don't even realize it. They look for anything else to blame rather than looking inward and seeing that they are setting themselves up for failure.
I'm glad to see you are smart enough to repeat something you just heard in a youtube video.
Well his comment is the first "smart" comment I saw today. Not saying others are dumb, but obviously ppl tends to keep their head tightly set in their ass, disappointed when others speaks about what’s outside.
Finally a good long whiteboard! Love these
As a cardboard liberator I like to know that my role is opening product and enjoying it, while the evil investors lick their chops knowing that's just one less sealed box or pack in existence. You're welcome....
He even gets patrons to buy his sealed and opens it for more yt revenue while simultaneously pushing tbr price of his own remaining inventory.
This whole video is actually title "why you should never open a sealed box and just wait for the next guy to watch this video and buy it from you for profit".
These are the best videos you make, dad. Thanks for the lessons!
I'm a simple man, I'm just here for Anger and Curly Fries
Scrubbed thru the video - 2.5 mins in and the visor comes out. I’m in.
43 minutes later...
I need some Arby's
In times of increased demand, the sway of emotions gets stronger. This cuts deep.
Cuts way deeep
They way I explain it is as the box gets older the wrapper around it gets more expensive than the cards inside. It's pretty much the same with every collectible that has "sealed" versions.
Oh shit, I'm a Timmy. But I never sell, so I'm the worst kind.
Thanks for your feedback and support 👍

Pigs get slaughtered on Wall Street.
Holy Hell Rudy, 43 minute video?!? i think this is one of your longest videos i have seen in a long time.
“How do you have 3 legs?” That’s what she said. 😤
Lol
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
When 20$ jeweled lotus?
I'm slowly spending more time in the comments then ever before I think the magic community is finally starting to pull together.
Many people talk about NFT. Rudy talks about NFG.
Can't believe you went all the way to my mom's house to film this, I'm literally crying and shaking right now
Morning upload my taco is extremely hard
You came in clutch with this rudy
Normally at these types of seminars, there's complementary coffee, doughnuts, and tacos in the hallway. I was pretty disappointed to not see anything of the sort when I looked down my hallway after the presentation. I was really looking forward to a cheese danish. So I thumbs downed 42 times and will be filling for a refund. Great information though.
This man knows his shit :) Thank you for publicizing the knowledge to all the timmies that did not understand.
7:50 Given the speech on Timmies being obsessed with the value of cards...
Can anyone explain to me why Rudy is upset with the value of standard cards and modern cards? He's brought that up several times lately that this is a problem and yet based on this video it would be a homerun investment to buy Kaldheim boxes and sit on them long term. Just like any modern focused product that's sealed would be. Because over time whats in the boxes doesn't matter.
So right and I'm buying everything $$$ love the game so why not
I don't want to speak for Rudy, but my impression is that he's referring to the price of singles going nuts lately. The discussion in the video is specific to the value of sealed product over long periods of time vs. the price of singles week-to-week. His explanation of the E.V. of boxes (in other words, the value of individual cards that "Timmies are obsessed with") only going up slightly, while the price of a sealed box goes up ~10x in that same period of time, is highlighting how to invest money into magic cards while minimizing risk.
So, buying 6 boxes of a set to try to get specific cards to flip is a MUCH riskier endeavor than buying those same 6 boxes as an investment and holding them long-term as sealed product. With singles prices skyrocketing recently, some of the people flipping cards ARE making some money short-term. This can build bad habits though, because eventually the singles market is going to re-stabilize, and using that same strategy will result in losses long-term.
Another issue that is separate (sort of) from finance, high prices of cards are gate-keeping to new players. There is a lot to discuss there, but trying to keep this comment focused on finance.
@@dumediat_ yea your right about all that so I've been buying boxes just to hold on to but I still like getting packs and hitting some big cards fun but like you said as an investment its better to hold onto sealed product even just if you dont have alot of money get one seald old pack and work up to boxes.
Thank you for putting so much time into these
It's astounding to think that if my parents had given me a few thousand dollars in high school to buy a bunch of Urza's Saga boxes I'd be a millionaire now.
Nah, most likely you would not have spent the few thousand to buy those boxes. Even if you somehow did, and resisted opening them, you likely would have sold them when their price doubled or tripled. The only way you would have held on to now is if you used a time machine (and the Time Police will be after you) or if you bought them and somehow abandoned them but found them again (e.g. you thought they were lost in a move but they weren't, misplaced then located them later, etc.)
@@HighChancellorAdam you have severely over estimated the competence and intellect of the time police. You'd find better law enforcement agents in reruns of Cops, but then you'd have an 80% chance of just randomly picking a bunch of life long white supremacists by sifting through that shitshow.
@@HighChancellorAdam lol I forgot about my Pokemon cards for 20 years in the closet. the sealed boosters in there are worth $###
Good guy Rudy. Greek loving Timmy's should arm themselves with knowledge. Even a small Timmy can mitigate risk, improve their cost basis and probability of success.
16:23 So, you get NOTHING! You LOSE! Good day, SIR!
That comes from 1970s Willy winks right?
@@michaelsarzynski7876 Yes sir!
I love watching your video's like this Rudy, I watched all 43mins 31sec of it.
Moral of the story - hold your position people! Don’t get frazzled and sell! 💎 🙌
Just hit the 9 minute mark and this has already been a 10/10 video
Location: your moms house 😂😂 Christ
Hey shes a really nice lady and quite classy lol
Wow, I thought NFG was something finance related. I laughed so hard when you explained what it is 😂
Clearly, the only people who will dislike this, are Timmy's.
Nah I always thumbs up. I've made a bunch on Rudy's talks, plus have a decent collection that's better than I ever had playing and winning.
If you sell a Bullish Verticle Spread you make money if the underlying stands still, moves down a little, or shoots to the moon. As long as it stays above the set threshold by expiration
Stop insulting 99% of magic players Rudy.
One of the best videos you have ever made. Please make a video on how the Live action movie and Netflix series will impact the prices of older sets.

The only losers are those not operating a LGS and seeing only dollar signs on cards instead of casting cost.
Yes cause the true value is playing the game. Priceless in my book for the best game ever.
Love when you do vids like this. One thing you didn't discuss about your box investing techniques is popularity/playability of certain sets. Yes, all boxes gain value over time but I'm curious if you choose more based on age and current price or if you look at those other factors when building up your stock.
On a side note it would be awesome to get your opinion in a video on the new Digimon TCG which you've briefly mentioned in a few vids. Those boxes are being scalped like crazy (and people paying it) for a brand new game that doesn't even have an in person playing circuit yet. Is it just that there has been a long gap since they had a TCG or just the way the market is right now?
I remember when this was a card game and not wall street jr edition.
Yup. Playing with no land because FE didn't give you any and your LGS was actually 70 miles away and the gas station 8 miles away that sold MTG didn't get sealed decks because they didn't sell to existing players.
I love this guy, I was starting to be kind of timmyish lol but my whole mindset has changed. I’m going to grow my wealth and eventually make it to real estate but safely with the power of time. Amazing video love your content
2021 stock market has been wired and proven difficult to invest
Stock's are good but i swapped and invested in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency , I have been making good profits.
Yh no doubt the crypto market has earned me a lot you just gotta understand the market
I've got interest in investing but afraid of doing it on my own to avoid loss from my end
@@marygiggs2693 That's the reason you need the help of a professionals who understands the market and how is works very well so you can be profiting very well.
His success stories are everywhere 😯
I love these videos Rudy! Thank you I think I am less of a TIMMY because of you! It is starting to get through my thick timmy skull!
