Thank you for telling me to get lotr mtg holiday set. Ive been asking my friend about it for years because i love lotr and i pulled the trigger at 930 after taxes and shipping.
Dawg; even a banger set like Prismatic Evolutions isn’t going to be double MSRP much after release when there’s a 9 month release window of different products coming out throughout 2025. You may be right that SOMEDAY those ETBs won’t be going down from $100, but not just yet I don’t predict. I guess we’ll find out.
Because magic is dying. They’re driving it into the ground entirely. 50% of releases to be crossovers? Gross… and shoving products down our throats as much as possible in a year where nobody can keep up? Yeah… goodbye magic.
An increase in volume of products tied with increasing prices and decreasing quality. Hasbro is doing everything they can to maximize profits today, with zero regards for long-term stability.
Magic is better than ever. The fact that you don't like the current direction doesn't mean the game is dying. The game is changing. It is true that long term, it will probably go down due to people not interested in universes beyond. but short term, their profits are bigger than ever.
@ArenaRat-xd8fu That would imply that people are only buying the IP they recognize and not sticking around afterward. That's not good for the long-term health of the game, especially when Hasbro runs out of big IPs to work with.
Rudy, you are like a breeze of fresh air. It's so delightful to watch you. I really enjoy ur videos, cuz you give so many great insights and are as fun as hell! Have a great year, mate
One of my local card shops never got their normal allocation of Surging Sparks. They’ve been selling Pokemon for years. It’s been rough the last few sets.
not a single etb of a new set held $100 price tag on release. 151 is over 100 now but its been out for over a year, why do we think this will be different?
3% fee is not normal only people from the US think that, pp charges 4% here and like 3-6% in currency exchange. In the rest of the world an internet bank or card transaction (like a credit card but on your checking account) payment cost 0 - 0.17 cents on any amount. So to sum up if you pay someone in lets say Europe an instant 100,000.00 USD worth of Euro's the fee is 0.17 for an instant payment. most sellers / retailers make 5-10% profit on a sale 3-6% fee is half or more than the profit in this case.
chat gippity has informed me that there may be as few as 50k to 100k ETBs per mainstream set, going as low as 10k for special sets. I didn't realize Rudy was an absolute gigawhale in this market.
Tone - 0 because no audio Audio - 10 for the bamboozle Chair - 0 no chair Originality - 10 because we all checked our sound TACO score of 5/10, not bad
20:00 in 2002 I had the opportunity to buy 40 Italian BB dual lands and we didn’t find an agreement because the seller wanted 10€ each and I wanted to pay max 8€ each. Now each of these is 1000-2000€, each. Times 40. Imagine saving those 80 bucks, back then felt important.
I CAN'T GET A SINGLE PRISMATIC, so last night, I gave in and bought some PC Astral Radiance ETBs at $49.99 😅 No promo card, but hey, ya can't beat the price!
The Magic remaster sets always seem like an unnecessary vehicle to profit off of expensive reprint equity. I won’t be buying anything but a few singles. Ather Drift is also a pass so far based on theme. I’m still open to buying some depending on previews. I need to save my money to buy a case of final fantasy 😅
Rudy, how can I evaluate an ETB's value without relying on the chart? What are some fundamental indicators that a set is undervalued? Since I don't know the circulating or total supply, and The Pokemon Company can just issue more cards at any time, it seems that all I can rely on is market sentiment, and we both know the market can be wrong at times.
or the pre-order works if the price doesn't change. I agree pre orders are dumb, though with false scarcity, it's really difficult for the 1-2 box consumer not to want to lock in a price before release.
I’ve been resorting to buying older (2015-2016) card tins because the state of inflation regarding preorders is getting ridiculous. I can get a 10 year old Pokemon tin for cheaper than the newest sets etb. That seems insane to me.
If all Tendies go up, the logic of not buying them at pre-release is bad. Pre-release prices are generally in the middle, if you end up getting cancelled and have to rebuy, that's not the worst thing, if you end up getting it and it goes down, just buy more.
Official rating for today's "FOLKS": 10/10 Perfect pitch, tone, emphasis. A literal masterpiece and once of a lifetime viewing...is at least that's what my deaf paralegal intern said from reading Rudy's taco lips since the audio was muted...
Who you going before you’re ready? What do you think about these retailers now changing the price of a shelf item in real time per in market demand? Seen it happen at Best Buy in the flesh with the paldea boxes(orange chest) they jacked it up to 50 bucks a week before Christmas. From their digital tags. I scanned a crown blister pack tonight in target that was 15.99. Kang Rothman the big boys are scalloping too.
I love watching these videos.. my store did pre orders on Prismatic evolutions for Patreons only, I’m okay with it (even though Master Rudy advised against it) I’m not going to cancel their orders. I understand your perspective and that’s why I’m still a Patreon with you. Now excuse me while I go buy an Alpha Investment shirt so you can profit about $2
Ngl after i noticed practically my entire collection has absolutely plumpted in value because of all these new releases I've just stopped playing entirely. Especially if all I get to play against during FNM is just people who buy decks from online 🙄🤦
Its crazy that stores still over sell preorders without getting their allocation numbers. I can't blame them for making money. But danm they playing the shortgame for easy money. I stopped shopping at 2 LGS near me because of their scummy practices. Now they lost someone who used to drop 500 a month in their store.
I preordered an ETB for 99.99 off rare candy since I missed the deadline for my local card shops. I made up for it by buying Eeevee binder collections for 38.00 though. Think I still might do ok.
Solid site. Never had them mess with any orders. And not for nothing, but safari zone always comes through as well. I know they went a little wild with most of their prismatic, but they honored the case of booster boxes I pre-ordered way early for surging sparks which broke down to 95 a box. I don't mind what places price at as long as they don't mess with orders. That's the mark of a good seller.
Car dealerships charged massive mark-ups when supply was limited and have you seen them recently? Its bad business if you ask me and anyone who agrees needs to speak with their wallet. And good luck to the shops who did this getting future support from the community during slower years.
i saw rudy at tgi fridays in miami listening to coco jambo on a cd walkman while scream singing the lyrics. They asked him firmly but politely to leave
Tbh it's not bad to preorder if the product is available in adequate quantities. Stores can plan ahead and customers get a slight bargain. But stores should NEVER offer preorders when they don't know the exact quantities.
Here we go again! Rudy could schedule this exact same video every month for decades and it'd still ring as true as it does today, bull market or otherwise.
I did think the sound was messed up 😝
Lol I literally just bought new headphones and thought they broke
He did slap his thighs preemptively giving off sound tho, which did give it off somewhat.. FOLKS !
same here. been having trouble with connectivity. this video caught me
Bruhh 😂
@@jakep8921 they are broken if you couldn't hear his footsteps
I literally just replugged in all my computer's plugs and this was the video I was using to test. Well done!
I know I’ve officially watched too many Rudy videos where I immediately could tell he was doing the no-sound gag
He got me for a second and ruined it by the background noises, I did a double take and went wait a minute~~
Rudy is going for his Wolverine look again. Something feral anyway.
Completely restarted youtube due to your shenanigans. I'm calling officer barbrady
I did it twice
Rudy looking rough. He must be making a bunch of money.
His income and his interest in maintaining a clean appearance have a negative relationship.
I rate today's intro a solid 9.4/10. You got us again Rudy you cheeky bastard
God dammit it was far too cheeky he had me tripping for a minute
It’s like a blind squirrel trying to find a nut in a laundry room…,killed me!!!😂
lol! I literally just walked into the bathroom when Rudy said to not watch him in the bathroom.
I bought PC Obsidian flame ETBs for $60 each 1 year ago, sold them for $250
Don't buy anything from the stores who do this. Don't give them any business ever.
4th wall… how did you know I was on the toilet? Ruby…. 😳
We do indeed need a video of you running into the bookshelf at full speed… while screaming “FOLKS!!” 😂👍🔥
Welcome to Costco.
I love ❤ you.
4 ETB's of Prismatic being equal to a box of Homelands is nuts
Agreed that’s insane
The promo card from the box is worth max 10$, so I don't see anyone paying for booster box so much. Rudy has no idea about Pokemon.

Is there a way to know the total supply for any of the ETBs? Are there print estimates published anywhere?

Tone - 0 because no audio
Audio - 10 for the bamboozle

I hope Walmart doesn’t cancel my preorder for 2 ETBs.
