_Florida Man Rambles For Almost an Hour in Remote Corner of Cardboard Warehouse Before His Boss Realizes He's Not Working_
🤣
The end game involves a fire and insurance claim
The end game involves Rudy promoting hair products
you made me laugh our loud, so true.
Truly a "fire sale"
he could've did a 5 minute video about that.. florida news 20 million dollars in cards have been caught in a fire started by a man sitting naked in a robe smoking a cigar
That's the spirit.
Rudy's end game is simple, twenty years from now we'll get a news article headlining "Famous OnlyFans model finds unknown fortune in TCG stock of her late husband. I never knew what he was doing in the garage, she says, explaining she thought to find a now banned automobile there."
"Sources say the deceased choked on a taco while counting his tendies. More on this story as it develops."

All these years watching Rudy. I still think he sends us coded messages in the booster boxes behind him. Spent 30 mins trying to put all the booster box names together 😂😂
Don..t for...get to dri...nk your Ovaltine?
😂
he said: Doctor Cox is smart! 😮 37:53
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened." - Obi Wan
It’s actually a concealed message providing his Wall Street buddies insider trading info so he takes a cut, while keeping his business in net positive. Desperate times call for desperate measures
So if you've been tracking the secret messages...were are all the tacos buried?????
I love when Rudy winks at the camera mid rant. This channel is my happy place xD
Now I want Rudy to go live on the JRE for a 3 hours Podcast🤩😍i can dream
Theo Von would be funnier
Ur funny Alberto
I think the question usually revolves around "How does Rudy cash out on all his positions". The answer that he never has to, might be discombobulating to people.
Not many of the MTG channels from the early Rudy days still upload content. And here's Rudy with a multi-generational plan for cardboard world domination🤯
Some of the best life advice
When going into a business or a romantic relationship. ..
You have to go in head first like your not afraid to fail .
And give it everything, when you put in a real effort and truly give your all.
Even if it doesn't work out, you never have to worry about " what ifs" , avoiding any rumination. It either did or didn't but it wasn't because there was anything more you could have done .
This brings acceptance and finalization. Freeing up the mind to think and move forward open to process previous or future information effectively.
Thanks for reminding me about this . I really enjoy seeing people do things the right way and watch things work out how they should .
You might call or luck, but I find that the harder I work, it seems I get more and more " Lucky "
*Spoilers:* Its just more hard work with no secret recipe for success.
hard work and risk pays off
@johnconrad3030 if that were true, coal miners would be billionaires
Thanks for saving me 51 mins
Spoilers: There is no "secret" to life. There is only value vs time.
@@D0012D13the guy that owns the coal mine is 😅
Omg! Your comments on the general public not understanding how a business works behind the scene is 100 percent accurate. There are so many uneducated individuals out there. Great video, Rudy!
@12:00 This is some real truth right here. So many successful business people will not FESS UP when and where luck played a hand in their journey. It does. You get lucky. Events happen and they change your course or give you opportunities you never had before. Kudos, Rudy, for honoring the lucky moments in life and congrats to you for being able to seize that luck!
Still here Rudy. Original Patron. Love ya man.
it never is as sexy as anyone thinks. Im glad youre still doing it rudy, keep up the great work, may the floppy taco be our guide.
I didn’t know the Q&A would just be an hour long discussion answering one question but I’m here for it! I love these long form videos.
Yeah this is great
Been a subscriber since around 1,000 and I’ve wanted an answer to this question since then. And honestly, it’s genius. You’ve built a great system here Rudy and it’ll hopefully mean the content will keep coming for years to come. Here’s to 696,696 subscribers!
Also I think the scarcity of the avaliable patrion slots helped keep constant interest. Scarcity sells. 😉👍
I remeber when you first introduced the cap, and I think that was the most buzz around your patrion there's ever been (from an outside perspective).
1 year plan, 2 year plan, 5 year plan, 10 year plan working. Evolving and moving accordingly. Business 101
Multigenerational things with collectibles is a such rare thing.
As I watch this series of Q&A develop I can’t shake the feeling that a magnum opus may be materializing before our eyes.
Love the content Rudy. Most of society would benefit in some way from routine viewing and consideration of your circumstances and retellings.
Hope it is truly more years of content to come.
These videos make me reflect on my life. Thank you, Rudy. Im 26 and came from nothing. Worked hard to save up to afford to go to college. Now I see the times changing around me, and I am nostalgic for those times you talk about. I hope I get to meet you one day, Rudy. Thanks, Austin
BLACK ARAGORN GAME PIECE!!!
If the party says Aragorn is black then Aragorn has always been black.
Just the fact that you built something you can pass down to your son is an awesome thing.
The camera thinks the box of shadowmoor is more interesting than Rudy
I paused the video at 47:10 in an attempt to guess what Rudy's advice was going to be. I said "Stop shitting on your competition" Edit : I was close - it was "Don't build your business by attacking other businesses"
Love this. Thanks Rudy. You're a treasure for sharing your journey and experience with us honestly like this.
You know it's serious when Rudy's hair looking slick
Shockland challenge still are fun to watch! A 2nd gen of family business, 40 years next year, myself. My older kids I try to get into other paths so they can experience life and get a work ethic. Worked for the oldest, not so much for the second but it is what it is, ya know. Good luck with your son man. Great video, thanks! Looking forward to the next shirt
Fascinating. Not just as Mr Spock would put it, but there is some old background stuff (not just the Weatherlight boxes) that were mildly new to me. So in short, the end game is to keep it going and going and going and ....
thanks for taking the time to upload all your vids
pfp 💯
I know a Chinese "RUDY" in NYC that comes from a billionaire family,
that buys product by the pallet and stores it in a $20 million spare apartment
they have in NYC, they leave empty as an investment, and use it as their storage unit.
Filled with many millions in CARDBOARD.
Probably more than Rudy has in total value.
Mostly Pokemon, but also MTG, and other IP's
That just Rudy in disguise 😂.
Saint Hung?
Why even bother… already worth billions. Pointless 😂
@@chexnfx7161 Billionaires generally keep on making more billions.
For Chinese its a way to store/safe guard money that was liberated from China in an unofficial way.
PS> billionaires have bills, often large ones,
so continuing income flow is important even for billionaires.
Rudy, I have watched your videos for YEARS now. Back from khans era when everyone first started the hate. I subscribed to your patreon for a long time to support the channel but left because I couldn't get product (thx australia)
You have provided so much information and help causing me to improve my financial position in ways I never initially thought possible. This has been such a wonderful 8 years and hoping to continue enjoying your content as time marches forward. The depth of knowledge and wisdom you have shared is exceptional and a true inspiration.
Rudy: "I like the product."
Glad to be here to witness your story unfold Rudy. Wishing you and your family, all the best.
I've watched you since the beginning. Always entertaining.
Great video, great insights. Wishing you & the family all the success.
Looking back in my e-mail, my first order from you was in December 2016. I've enjoyed the ride and listening to your wisdom. I'm looking forward to years more! Thanks, Rudy!
The end game is to continue pumping over-printed magic to timmys
Had the same mindset of collect everything coming out with MTG. A few boxes, maybe a case of each set i really liked. Then hasbro turned up the product line/releases to 500% and powercreep'd every card needing a paragraph to read before play and, to me, the game has outlived it's usefulness of a once good game.
Sold out of my stuff a couple years ago. Paid off everything and set for retirement.
Now I cube revised, ice age, and mirage for nostalgia purposes with friends and that is that.
Hi. I remember Rudy from 2018/2019. I just lost my job and I had spent like 80£ on a box of war of the spark (i could afford it). I've never played MTG and nevre bought cards. I literally just got caught up in watching Alpha Investments and I bought myself a box. Then everyday, I'd smoke a J and go in te garden and ope na few packs. I still have those cards.
It was a great little time for me.
Im doing better now. I have a job etc.
I really like the idea of having an out of print product on sale for patrons every month btw 👍
The shockland challenge, was the GOAT
OK I have not watched yet but will try to guess. Rudy is independently wealthy and wants to enjoy that while doing something he likes, he knows the cards he collects will hold value, something he can either fall back on or pass on to his kids/grand kids. He gets to crack packs all the time, and hosts a venue which would see traffic due to his work. End game... Keep collecting, be comfortable , and I guess towards the end its custom chess boards. High end lasered holo pieces of valuable crystal, set to gemstone boards custom made for the worlds moneyed folk... Lets watch...
algorithm engagement!
TLDR: Plan for the worst, and roll in your profits when the best case scenario actually happens.
Rudy is the Teddy Atlas of Magic the Gathering 😂 The most elaborate explanation to the simple answer people wanted. Well done
This is amazing so glad you made this video. I’m in the early stages of an enterprise and it’s comforting to know one of my business role models also didn’t know exactly which direction the business was going.
sure
I miss when he did the card shop life mini series. And then tossed boxes at Edwin.
Rudy just throwing this out there as a fan and lover of magic. If your son doesn’t wanna take over the business. As much as I love my dad and my last name , I’m willing to become your son.
Hope there will be a video explaining the financing in the beginning. Cashflows money pumped into card board, rental houses etc.. Good Day to all.
Had to look it up, been a subscriber since Oct 5 2016. Keep going after that golden taco, and I'll keep watching!
This is a good listen, re-subbed just because of this.
Thank you I appreciate your down to earth demeanor
In 5, 10 years show this video to your boy, if for no other reason than to let him know you have been thinking about his future for a while (we both know you have been doing that since before he was born, but the youngens do not always see that). I hope he decides to make it a family business.
_Florida Man Admits to His Endgame of Becoming _*_World Cardboard Emperor_*_ - "Worship Me, Ye Timmies"_
Rudy's Endgame is simple. Own every MTG card so he can finally learn how to play.
all these years later and another great listen from Uncle RUdy. i like the Rudy jr aspect, i hope it workes out and the taco empire lives on
I love the transparency, very instructive
Shock land challange era was such a bliss!
All together this is probably the best video you’ve made. TY
Thanks for sharing, when things happen organically and its something you love it’s almost an out of body experience.. thanks for sharing this and your amazingly humble for being a sarcastic asshole.. my son is 14.. i find everything you say pretty damn interesting and fun / relevant to mtg buying and selling which as players we always had to buy and sell cards to get more cards to get better.. your living the dream we all had and i couldn’t be anymore happier for you dude i don’t like being banned from your patreon tho for sending too many messages vs compounding them into one.. anyway cheers and i hope you never go anywhere dude and it’s because your humble and truthful, experienced and able to laugh at your self at your own expense.. FOLKS!!!! Cheers!!
Great video and inspirational awnsers
Love the Videos Sir!!
Underwear + Alpha Inv T-shirt. This guy just became my hero
Thanks for the video!
Man , i m new here .... u look like a friend of mine from romania .
He was a scammer...
Family name is such a friendly euphemism for nepotism
Most generations end up failing. When you get raised in wealth you take it for granted.
Outside of government appointments anyone who has a problem with someone taking care of their children isn't being realistic about how human relationships work.
@@stokedwallet5336 Yeah except half the time the family member isn't qualified for the job lol
The Star Wars and Star Trek CCG’s by Decipher are a great example of that. Great mechanics, cards and popular, but they couldn’t keep it going.
I listen to every word you say, I listen more than anything. I love my rudy. I never want you to leave. Your videos are never boring, I always watch until the end, I always learn, and believe it or not I think like you, and I'm not you. I don't want to be you. I do love everything you do, and the knowledge experience and wisdom you share, and much more.
⚡🍼
Love you Rudy. Love your work. Love your videos. Love your entertainment. Love your advice/perspectives. Long time subscriber who can’t be a patron because I’m in the wrong country.
Buying up all the power you could find using the money you make from ads served to subscribers, is GENIUS.
Have to account for Churn...your 1.5 year estimate is spot on...
My fear with cardboard collecting as an investment is the volatility and those who use it as their primary or only investing. I don't have an issue with it but I think it should be alongside a healthy portfolio of other investing assets rather than the only or primary investment. I don't look at my card collection as an investment but I also don't buy into the game as an investment either.
Tremendous video. 10/10. Would watch again.
Wawa sir Rudy... been a strong watcher since the start
just got to the solid business advice! Great stuff Creepy Rudy.
You know, one time I was buying some Star Trek collector cards and and the album holders to put them in and the guy that does Dale's Cards and Comics ,said he's going to open those to my friend and he just looked at him he'll open every one of them and I sure enough did. Plus all of my Olivia cards are opened and in their containers also. P.S. yes I bought the consumer thing Full Line and Sinker I'm an extreme collector not a hoarder.
Been here since 2016, it's been a fucking wild ride and I'm not about to stop watching.
Yes yes yes! Real answers. Long form. Thank you sir! Keep the long answers coming!
I miss ultimate masters bingo! Rudy’s hairy arms!!!
Thanks for taking the time to explain it all out. What about the singles or the graded cards since you don't put them on pateron, are they just in the I don't need the money vault of my family will decide later or is their a different plan.
Nice video.
Tnx ;)
I’ve been watching and commenting on the channel since 2017. I have a lot of love for the channel and the content. It really makes magic collecting fun.
Rudy Jr!?
“This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!”
20:38 its because of the collector boosters and now that everything is special. You hit a foil shockland today its nothing special especially if you have to spend 200+ on the box to get said cards. Back then you spend $90 on a box and get $10 cards that are played and loved by everyone the challenge to get all 10 was so special. But timmy wants to just pull them all with one box and wizards wants to put out more product so you can pay more to get more while killing the poor mans fun in the challenge and getting something exspensive from a box that may be cheaper.
EDIT: sorry for my poor grammer and wording. :/
Never apologize on youtube people mistake kindness for weakness.
...did all the educated players with real jobs ..and true balanced lives disappear ..
Jarry's remarks is exactly on point ...... it's so logical ......you don't need a graduate degree or a white collar career to understand commonsense reasoning!!!!
..that's what happened to dozen of things ...... sports cards ....comic books ...... Marvel ..and Disney films ..... collectibles toys throughout the decades .....
....stamps ...coins ..... however, most MTG players ....especially the newer ones ....Commander friendly .....with no responsibility for a spouse , kids, mortgage, ..... will spend the hefty prices for small cardboard pieces .... LOL
F*uck Rudy! Your haircut is on point! LET'S GO!¡
Rate hike pauses, Rudy haircut, we're going to the moon!! 🚀📈
I loved all 54 minutes of this video, thanks for being candid rudy, only thing it needed more of was GAMEPIECES!
i found this channel by accident, i stop playing after the Original Kamigawa set (was my favorite btw). had a mono black rat deck with discrad and terrors ? nothing special and before that a Sliver deck. anyway i think at 19 or 20 i remembered MTG again and searched for what elese ? Black Lotus and found this channel
i dont see any colections in the video for the rare we asked for in the previous video 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Yea I noticed too I don't see any dam thought we will get something since we liked those questions
As someone who owns and is trying to make it in the world “time is the most valuable thing hit hard
I like your videos always great wisdom but mostly I love to read the comments, always great disturbances 😅
Rudy has a lot of benefit from his family too. A strong foundation makes anything possible
valuable experience you share thanks
Really cool Video Rudy!
We ABSOLUTLY want long form video,this is pure GOLD,Thank you for teaching us Rudy
There goes my dream of creating the Alpha Rogan Beast College collectors RUclips channel
Here I was about to light up a fatty with Elon musk while craken packs for my patron Bucky, a homeless man who doesn’t realize we’re building him a house on a jet during my podcast about psychedelics… there’s a shake test in there somewhere. XD
Rudy whats your take on sorcery. do you think its gonna go somewhere? bought a case popped a foil p stone. really like the gameplay
It looks like one of these best lessons Wizzers got was Fallen Empires. The overestimating of numbers to sell has lead to a point where they know what they need to print, even if erring on the other side of numbers now.
Rudy: Endgame
Would be so amazing to have the son of Rudy on the channel. Not to be confused with "son of baconator". I instantly thought after mentioning possibly your son participating. Will the "I do not want to be like my parents" kick in? Been videos showing playing around mountains of boxes in his eyes and the mention of playing round with empty boxes, etc. A or B is the only out come. A: do not want anything to do with cardboard in general. Hate getting mailed cardboard boxes from anything I order. Or.. 🎉 Buckle Up Bettercup, because you haven't seen nothing yet. Hope this channel turns into, like you said a legacy. Thanks as always for everything you bring to the TCG world. Could there be a C? Channel ends and a silent seller enters the market.
Great quote from someone in pro wrestling but I think it holds true for the end of this Rudy video! “You can try to be better than, worse than, or different than your competition”. Rudy is very smart and he chose to be different!
I am 99.5% certain your story was fascinating. With all your other interests and income I would just end game by locking the warehouse and focus on those other interests. Then change my name to Miss Haversham
God damn this was an amazing video. Thank you for letting us in on some
Of the details. Inspiring as fuck.
