William Scott

Do you ship to UK Cost? What crypto do I have to use?

James C Deitrick

As it turns out, Rudy has no teleportation spell. The good news is, my boxes arrived a day earlier than USPS said they would!

Vin D

How can I change my email on here if I used my Apple ID to sign up with this account ?

Timothy (Timmy) Hoffmaster

His videos have been DOWNERS for a long time now, I've stopped watch9ng him for over 2 years now

Al

Anyone else struggling to watch The Prof's videos over on TCC lately? Something about a 50 year old man complaining that a game designed for children doesn't cater to his age group has become really off-putting to me.. I don't like being old either, but damn life is too short to spend all your time on something that just pisses you off.

Al

I believe it was a recent comment from Mark Rosewater about walking away from using Shaman as a creature type going forward, nothing major.

Ryan Roy

Is there still stuff available

Christopher Berkley

Curious if I missed something. Was there a recent announcement or another banning / unbanning of select cards?

Joshua King (Starlight)

yeah I was reading through the past sales and 2 seems to be the standard so I’ll just aim high and see but thanks for the help!

Christopher Berkley

Today is the last day to order it

Christopher Berkley

We won’t know for sure until he shares details. You are correct that for new releases, x2 has become the standard. Since this is a throwback, I’m guessing it will all depend how he decides to package it. Only MY OPINION, nothing more, Rudy has to balance having it available for enough Patreons and not lose out on expense of shipping costs and product costs. Because of this, I would expect it to be at least 2 boxes, perhaps higher. I could even see him potentially bundling it with other Collector’s boxes to help move other product and decrease demand / increase supply (has happened for prior sales).

Waturi

i don't know what a Sepcial is, but... i hope it feels good....

Ponte Vedra Beach Cards and Comics

Are there going to be Pokemon Boosters on sale tomnight?

Another Fan

😄 I thought I saw your boxes sitting next to the one carrot you planted in your front yard.

Raul Rosario

Just put in my first order!! Been a long time coming and look forward to future deals!! THANKS RUDY!!!

Austin Chiesa

It auto selected g&s when i got to the review payment screen

Edwin Penafuerte

I’m trying to make my first order of 6 booster boxes, does PayPal auto select the goods/services option? Is that what we use? Or f&f?

Austin Chiesa

Just bought my first 6 boxes as well! Thanks for the years of "folks!"

Brandton Alan Graffin

Just bought 6 boxes thanks Rudy!

Trevor Andrews

Pretty sure he said Evo skies will NOT be included in this sale.

Anthony Paramo

also good luck.

Anthony Paramo

Tonight Rudy will post at 900EST. make sure to be logged into your paypal and have his infomration added to your account for a smother transaction. Especially if its a first come first serve sale. If it is a comment sale, reply to his post and wait for an order number. Send payment via paypal or crypto or whatever you're trying to pay with. Just make sure to add the order number if he provides one. otherwise on a comment sale I just write what I'm purchasing in the notes section.

Jacob Wiser

Just put in my first order for 6 boxes. Thanks for the great offer and great vids Rudy. Appreciate you.

Ryan Roy

Middle of last year. Just not sure how the buying process works Rudy?

Ryan Roy

How does the sales work tonight? I have never bought anything before on here have been a Patreon since middke

Joshua King (Starlight)

Not sure if this is the place to ask this question but I was reading that Rudy was planning to do a throwback sale of throne of eldraine collectors in one of his previous posts when Rudy does this does anybody know if it will be per collector box or per 2 collector box? I know sometimes Rudy does it per 2 so was just curious and trying to plan out.

amanda soares

thanks that was helpful to know to remember.

Joshua Halstead

It shouldn’t be I got some last week.

Stephen Defilippo

Just double checking, is LCI still out of stock for Feb?

Adam S

Best guess off current prices, $2200 if it includes evolving skies, $1600 if it does not. Assumes a 6 booster box pack.

Matt Cantley

Hey Rudy, will you stock the upcoming hololive TCG? This is separate from the weiss hololive releases.

Twiddler's Place

Sent

Twiddler's Place

Rudy, Going to order 2 OTJ Play Booster Boxes, 2 LCI Draft Boxes and 1 WOE Draft Boxes please. Will Paypal using this name and address will be updated.

katanalogic

I think if USPS doesn’t deliver to your house they might hold it at the nearest office for you. They could tell you.

James C Deitrick

I placed my order for boxes 57mins ago, and they haven't arrived yet. How long do I have to wait!?

Anthony Paramo

Yup until the end of the month

Londar Swift

I haven't been here that long so don't listen to me. But, as far as I can tell he doesn't give price ranges you just have to be prepared when the notice goes out. Although I would price out what the boxes cost on TCG because thats usually the price range.

Matthew Schaehrer

Has Rudy mentioned a rough price on the expensive sword shield variety kit? Trying to plan :)

Anthony Hacker

Thank you!

Al

I certainly don't agree/understand with a lot of the things Wizards does regarding not using certain words, but I think a little perspective is important... As an American there could be literally billions of people on the other side of the world extremely upset about something and I might never hear a peep about it. And while the game is fantasy, certain cards clearly borrowed from real world events like Crusade.. I might view that card differently if the area I lived in had been shaped by hundreds of years of religious wars, seems like that might take me OUT of the fantasy escape that MTG is supposed to provide.

Heath Mickelson

In the past for me it has been around 2-3 days for payment received notification and then usually the next day after it will ship unless it’s a holiday or something. But with Rudy getting the crazy influx of orders may take longer at the moment!

Cosmic (Ravenclaw)

Do you know what the response time is, typically, between when you send the money/order on PayPal and any kind of notification that it's been received or boxes have been shipped? Thanks.

Zach Sebby

You can participate in any and all sales he has thru out the week. They do not count towards your once a month cheap magic order.

Anthony Hacker

And does that count for your 1 order a month or are the release orders separate? And collector boxes separate From regular?

Bob Snow

Collectors boxes are release only sales. With the occasional special sale with a few together but typically its release and then never again.

Timothy Jones

Placed my first order with you. Thanks!

Mike Whitty

Just got back in states can I still place my order for February?

Violent Ken

Thanks for the info dood!

Rudy The Magic Guy

95% of all USA orders are USPS

Jeremy Hanson

My Pokemon notes so far this month. Sorry for wall of text. 3rd weekend show for February visited yesterday and changes are coming! Context info: feb. 1st event: Huge line out the door to get to Pokemon cards. About 40 tables(vendors). Almost no sealed product or new card singles. Feb 15, very large venue of 100 plus tables. Hot singles sold out by early noon. Some new sealed product until around about 1pm then only obviously miss priced sealed on the wall. Feb. 22: mall event with about 30 tables for Pokemon. Multiple large boxes 151 and sv era booster bundles. Literal 100 plus counts of 151 booster bundles fresh out of original sealed cases. Multiple tables with multiple sv series ETB and booster boxes. Multiple tables with 10 plus Japanese booster boxes per modern series. . . NO ONE’s buying sealed product. Almost immediately people are taking off 5 percent below market price to adjust for everyone having same product. 2 hours later I’m seeing market price asked but accepting 5-10 percent under. Sealed still not selling well at all(like not moving and people working hard to make a deal). Went to lunch and came back at 1pm. Picked up at 15 percent off market price on two good looking sealed sword and shield era booster boxes. And 15 percent off surging sparks Japanese booster boxes. Left at 2pm. Conclusion- New sets sealed product demand is “saturated”. Notes about Singles: insane amount of singles on the market at event! why buy sealed when you buy the singles you want right there? It was weird watching the newly created demand side figure out singles are a better bet with new product and yet still not know how to navigate singles. Rudy probably gonna need to do a few video’s on singles. After the event I went to my LGS that I support and got there allotted number for journey together booster boxed on launch day. Then I went home and opened all 8 of my surging sparks booster boxes. I predict the journey together launch will be when people really start figuring out the supply and demand situation. Key takeaway: Be fearful when markets are greedy. Be greedy when markets are fearful. Other notes: one blatant Pokemon fake single table and no one caring cause seller is selling “custom” Pokemon cards and products and priced as such. One seller obviously moving uncontrolled single packs and replenishing old booster boxes. Please people, If it doesn’t come from a booster box then don’t sell it like it did. Pick up my first Pokemon center exclusive to china product. A just in case and wouldn’t it be cool if I had one type of purchase.

David Copeland

I’m new here and wondering if someone can tell me who Rudy uses for shipping. USPS doesn’t ship to my address but UPS and FedEx will

David Copeland

I also signed up and used Apple Pay. I have updated my payment so this will be fixed moving forward.

Anthony Hacker

Still new here. Got my first shipment yesterday. Thank you Rudy! Just wondering about Collector Boxes, are they only at set release or only during sales? or are they not listed you just have to ask?

Erinn Walsh

Any way to get an idea for what will be likely included in the 2/28/2025 - Friday Night Special - Poke - Sword / Shield Era - EXPENSIVE Variety Box Kit?

Al

Ah, that definitely helps, thanks!

Sentenc3d

The SV08 is just a code for the expansion Scarlet & Violet (SV) and the number of the released set, so 08 would be Surging Sparks, 09 is Journey Together. Some of the released sets are considered "Special Expansions" and such as 151 and Prismatic Evolutions where they aren't full sets, but a smaller special set, and usually have a code ending in .5, like Prismatic Evolutions is technically 8.5.

Al

Been trying to learn a bit more about Pokemon while I'm here... What's the difference between the numbered sets (SV08) vs. something like Prismatic Evolutions?

Joshua Halstead

It was 25 but the promo ended in December. I feel like he’s planning one for the new slab type soon.

Kunushi

Ok, thank you for the advice. I shall patiently await further correspondence.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Thats correct, i show a message from you yesterday afternoon, i apologize, but it is not possible for me to respond to everyone is less than 24 hours. As stated on the sign up post, it takes me 1-4 days to respond to messages demanding on volume and market conditions. Please be patient, if you recieve the wrong item and need to return something, please leave it sealed and send it back.

Kunushi

Hey, Rudy. I got my order in this month, but one of the boxes I ordered was the wrong one. I tried messaging on patreon about it, but haven't got a response yet. Would you rather me email you about it? Thanks again for all your hard work.

Another Fan

And they’ve been selling out very quickly lately. Keep an eye out for these sales. Set recurring alarms to prepare for at least weekly Friday and Sunday 9:00 p.m. ET sales in case there are collector boxes. Rudy usually announces ahead of time, but you don’t want to accidentally miss it.

Christopher Berkley

I would expect no sooner than March based upon prior sets

Christopher Berkley

Yes but these sales come up once when a new set comes up. Sales are typically limited to two boxes per patron

Charles Yahnis

Thank you. Really appreciate the response.

Dylan Stewart

Shipping is included in the prices you see.

Charles Yahnis

Does Rudy charge for shipping? I have re-read the post a bunch of times and looked all over the Patreon but I just don't see anything mentioning shipping cost etc. I'm new sorry for the basic question.

Bernabe

Just signed up. I paid with Apple Pay. My bad

Geoff Toohey

Question - is it 10 or 20 cards submitted to PCG that earns a free booster box?

Alan Bishop

Just joined, maybe a silly question but do $15 tier patrons get collectors edition booster access? Looking forward to seeing what comes.

Jaren Troxel

Ready to hear Rudy’s thoughts of the last 24 hours of Final Fantasy craze 😶

Joseph Laing

Nice

Stefanos Amanuel

picked up a couple mastercases myself but from my understanding the hand signed ADR will not be in the ENG version Been trying to get Rudy to confirm with his sources

Ryan BEN

Usually after 2-3 days

Kiel Goodenow

Just put in my first order! Super stoked to be here!

Anthony Hacker

I am new this month, does he send some sort of shipping notification or something after order?

Robert Mackey

I too am in this waiting room. Have seen the information yet.

Joshua King (Starlight)

Oh ok you know an idea might be maybe a box battle of thunder junction play box vs some eldrazi themed box so you could call it cowboys vs aliens

Joshua Halstead

you can also private message him with ideas. I tried starting the triome challenge a few years back.

Derek Henthorn

Sending 118 for a Bloomburrow play box, Captain Rudy.

Christian Moreno

Mark my words, Atherdrift is going to be Adventure into Forgotten Realms 2.0. Ill be back in June

Heath Mickelson

The last part is right Ryan, send just the total! Example: You want 6 Ixalan Draft, send $93 x 6.

Ryan Jansons

"Enter the dollar amount equal to how many boxes you want" Does this mean send $6 to let them know I want 6 boxes, then I send the total amount for the cost of those boxes? Or just send the total? I'm sorry for my confusion.

Sean Rogers

For the English set

Sean Rogers

Just copped off Japanese sites

Ryan Jansons

Can we order these from Rudy, or are you going to your locals?

Joshua King (Starlight)

Ah okay thanks!

Ryan BEN

I think he has a backlogg of stuff to do. But usually he puts up a post of a bunch of stuff people can buy in for those openings that he puts on youtube. Havent seen him posted one in a bit though.

Joshua King (Starlight)

Hey everyone I’ve got a question I know Rudy mentioned doing box openings do we just private message him and buy the box or how exactly does that work? Still a bit new here

Heath Mickelson

Aetherdrift play boxes coming in this month or March?

Sean Rogers

I have been cleaning out the stores of Nikke Eng Booster boxes.. i just bought 12 more at 52 each 8====D !!!!

William Yuen

I forgot where I think I read it, but I think it was mentioned that they haven't came in yet and have been delayed?

Sentenc3d

Yes, the last update: "The Sunday night sale for Prismatic / anciellary / mystery / tin bundles have been removed. Lack of supply and some product still hasnt arrived"

William Yuen

Thank you for letting me know. I've only ever opened loose packs before. This dent was about 3/4" into the box, so that had me concerned. I'm sure the packs are completely fine after hearing the responses here. I just wasn't sure what to expect as I may be waiting a few months before opening any of the boxes I've purchased. Potentially holding onto them for a while and seeing if the prices rise.

Francis Evans

I've opened a pretty dinged up booster box before and the packs inside were a-okay!

CrisZis Collecting & Gaming

Just catching up. Did 2/16 poke prismatic evolution fall off the list? Thx

ryan Thera

Hey I live in Canada. Can you ship to me or did I read that you cannot ship wotc product outside of USA? Confused sorry

The Soapbox Lord

Someday, we hope it can return.

Joshua Halstead

I wonder if we’re getting a blooming water sale?

William Yuen

I appreciate the response Rudy. I have not fully decided on whether I would open the boxes for singles or keep them sealed. I will probably at least open the box with the corner dent on it. I have never bought a case or entire booster box before and opened it, so I did not know that is how packs inside a booster box are suppose to sit in there. It just looked indented enough where I thought a few packs may possibly be damaged. I will keep that in mind moving forward though!

Rudy The Magic Guy

Corner dents and plastic wrap imperfections is the most common issue with shipping boxes. While it is unappealing to the eye, it is near impossible actually damage packs/cards due to the design of booster boxes.they are intended to move inside the box. If you are wanting cleaner boxes with lower probability of dings/dents for keeping sealed, then double box is the option for you. If you just want to open packs, save the $10

Chris Kilpatrick

I mean, pretty straightforward man. If this kind of issue was going to concern you enough, the preventative method was the double box. The way to handle this is unfortunately take the L man, and double box moving forward. I get that you read the opinion of others but these are the questions to ask Rudy beforehand of his recommendations based on your possible concerns.

William Yuen

I had a question for you patreons and I suppose Rudy as well. I'm still very new here and ordered my first case of Infinity at the end of the month. When it arrived, I had noticed the exterior of the case was a bit banged up on one of the corner's. I wanted to save opening the case for content on my youtube channel and when I had opened it, one of the boxes was banged up on the corner. I'm worried about the integrity of the few packs inside of the box. Have any of you guys ever had this issue before and how do you go about handling it? I had thought about getting my order double boxed, but I had seen others who were also new ask the same question and it was suggested that it wouldn't be necessary unless you planned on keeping the case sealed.

Kiel Goodenow

Their loss was my gain! I'm staying the course!

Kiel Goodenow

Rudy has said he expects it to climb, just a lot slower than the likes of Ixalan. I've considered getting one for $75 just to see what happens.

Lusiriz Ruiz (Small Azalea)

As long as its still on the list, it is back, he said he’s pulling from his personal reserves to help with ixilan demand, I ordered one and got it no worries!

Joshua Halstead

Very happy with my pcg slabs. I wonder if my 10 Nintendo promo Celibi will make the web page. Not hugely expensive but it only has around 7-8 other friends. 11/10 looking forward to grading again 👍

Driium.com

I appreciate you! Thank you :) I read the fine print am here for the long haul.

Nicholas Lea

Hey Rudy! So, is Wilds of Eldraine back for now with the limit of 1? I just want to be sure before placing an order, since I think you previously announced it was off

David H

Thanks!

Rudy The Magic Guy

As shown above...no delays

David H

Is duskmourn still back ordered?

Rudy The Magic Guy

i would 100% buy them...but keep in mind....MSRP is still like $143 + Tax for that era ($160's shipped)

Sean Rogers

Honestly Rudy what you think about battle styles? You can still get it for MSRP on pokemoncenter.com

Paxton Bradford

Just did my first order, so excited!

Dylan Stewart

If you google "SetName" commander deck list mtggoldfish, then you'll usually find the correct one, either posted by mtggoldfish or Niuttuc. Although the cards shown may not be the correct/current set they are still the correct decklists. Hope this helps.

Becklyn

MTGgoldfish, then Search Articles, then "aetherdrift precons". There is an article there with each decklist and prices every time new precons drop.

William Yuen

thank you I'll check that out!

Nick Haggenmaker

Wizards posts them on Moxfield you can Google the 'deck name' decklist and usually it's the first link.

William Yuen

Is there a good website to see what the precon commander deck lists are? I've tried looking on MTGgoldfish, but it seems like they are all upgraded versions of the decks.

QuizySue aka smenke48@gmail.com

Another Fan

Rudy’s really trying to get us in trouble with our significant others watching us buy Pokemon during Valentines Day dinner. 😄

Stefanos Amanuel

Weiss friends, anyone have confirmation on the English version NOT having the hand signed?

Zach Sebby

He has them posted on the sale schedule, on this post you commented. This coming Friday(valentines day) and Sunday are both poke sales. He also has another scheduled for later month and next month around when journey together comes out.

Zach Sebby

6 is a full case, and +10 is just an add on for protection. You don't have to use it, but if you don't want booster boxes with potentially crushed corners I'd add it on. Really depends if you trust usps from all the stops between Florida and your location, to not throw your package around.

Quik

Appreciate ya!

Michael Behm

when is the next pokemon sale?

Edwin Penafuerte

Is an order of 6 boxes considered a full case? And is the +$10 shipping protection just an option or is it a 'must pay' if a full case is ordered?

BrewCrew75

If the emails are different add both emails to the notes section in paypal. That is what I have to do for each purchase.

BrewCrew75

I tend to buy cases at a time instead of mixing and matching. If your goal is to only own a few boxes per set then it doesn't matter. You can order each month. So start with the older ones like Lost Ixalan. Pick up the Wilds of Eldraine limit 1. That is out of print now. Then just decide on what to mix. I would go 3 Lost Ixalan, 1 Wilds, 2 Bloomburrow Play. Then next month hit up Foundations and Duskmourn and see if he has any more Lost Ixalan or Wilds.

Edwin Penafuerte

Hey my fellow 15+ members, I’ve just signed up and want to use up the monthly 6 box limit on cheap standard boxes. What combination of boxes do you suggest? Intent is to buy and hold. Thanks!

Justin DePaola

Got my monthly boxes and assasin's creed sale boxes in 2 days flat, great month. Thank you alpha investments, im staying the path =D A++++++++++ will buy from again XD

Joshua Halstead

I haven’t had it happen to me. I would say in the PayPal message so his bots can pick it up.

Joshua Halstead

Hey Ej 👋 there’s a membership table that lists the benefits. It mainly just lets you buy more boxes from the list over lower tier patrons.

Neil Shivelle

I was able to grab two Unfinity collector boxes online for $410 out the door. Couldn’t say no.

EJ

Good Morning Rudy, I had some questions on the membership for $15. Do you have a post that explains that information already or could I message you for clarification?

Quik

Hi! New here.. My paypal email is different than my Patreon email. When it says "Leave a note referencing your patreon", where would I leave the note? Thanks!

Joshua Halstead

I always do goods and services.

Santino

Thank you

Rudy The Magic Guy

You can participate in any sale or every single sale post. Thay has no impact on the 1 order per month for cheap draft/play

Santino

Hey im new and I was wondering since I can only get 1 order a month for the cheap magic does that mean I wouldn’t be able to get a collectors box of aetherdrift if i already bought like a foundations play box for example

Chris DeHart

Hey just a quick question, im new to this and was wondering when the time comes to send payment for a sale do you do goods and services or friends and family?

Al

Definitely depends on the set, but cracking for value makes more sense if you can open enough to overcome variance and get a nice spread of singles.. Ending up with 3 copies of some mythics and 0 of others can be frustrating

Trevor Andrews

Thanks for this info!

Joshua Halstead

Let’s go!!! My order is graded and couldn’t be happier. Just got some fairly rare grades on pokemon. Can’t wait for the next pcg submission.

Joshua Halstead

Just in the case box. He does do smaller boxes for less than a half of a case. No material added but they usually come in good to perfect.

Joshua Halstead

He does case sales on release. Boxes take usually 45-60 days to hit the monthly list.

Lyin Eyes

I do pretty much what Joshua said here...Crack some, keep some.

Trevor Andrews

Rudy, Will Aetherdrift play boxes be available here on release day?

Mike

@Rudy new patreon here. When you ship individual boxes how are they packaged? Thanks

Rudy The Magic Guy

Yes it should grow, but i would expect it to be slower than sets like ixalan

Rudy The Magic Guy

Sorry Erinn, fallout collectors were all purchased by patrons at release :-(

Joshua Halstead

I sent my first order into pcg in December. I put them in card savers. Then made a deck box out of cardboard for shipping and packed the whole thing with newspaper.

Joshua Halstead

I personally keep a half case of each for holding. Opening is fun but some sets can be more brutal on singles.

Neil Shivelle

More of a group think question. Is cracking your boxes and playing the odds of getting enough out of them (value wise) the good play, leaving them sealed and tracking that value long term, or doing a bit of both? I just received my first order and I’m curious what the hive mind is thinking.

Neil Shivelle

@Rudy, what is your opinion on ‘Crimson Vow’? Do you see it as something that could do well long term?

Erinn Walsh

This is likely far-fetched, but any chance for Fallout Collector boosters?

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hello James, you can participate in as many sales as you want. The 1 order limit is for the cheap boxes on the post above that are sold at a loss

James Farreau

I just joined...my question...I can make 1 order for up to 6 boxes a month... correct? If so can I also make separate purchases on the days when sales are available?

Rudy The Magic Guy

If you can see it on the monthly list above, its in stockj

Rudy The Magic Guy

I dont think theres a need for an entire video on shipping a package, i can tell you everyone ships differently. I would reco simply packing the cards up in a way you feel is safe and simply placing them in a box with a shipping label with your order #. Some people use top loaders with sleeves, other people use Card Savor I but anything is fine

Ben Santiago

Mr Rude Ma would you mind making a video explaining what we need to do to ship cards to PCG? Like what packaging is best and what is unnecessary. This may seem obvious for some people but I’d like to know what the grader thinks. Thanks!

Mitchell Schell

What draft boxes are still available? I saw the delay on Ixalan. Are crimson vow, eldraine and Jumpstart foundations all still available?

Rudy The Magic Guy

During the bear market people nationwide complained and that impacted post release sales of seale FaB caes....simliar to pokemon...evereyone screenshoted and used it against me. Now all the cases have been bought out by patrons and are long gone

Brian

Rudy, are you not doing FaB by the case anymore monthly?

Vic W.

Thanks Rudy. Have a good month.

Sean Rogers

Thanks so much! Loved the most recent vid. Being a 21 year old in college super inspiring!

Jim Dethlefsen

Has this post not been updated to reflect the absence of WoE? Or is it back on the menu? Thanks!

Rudy The Magic Guy

I think it's very smart...but there's not much left under $200...they will adjust to $250-$300 within the next 1-2yrs

Sean Rogers

Hey Rudy! I am thinking about making a play on some OTJ Collector booster boxes for 195 each shipped no tax! Is that a wise play?

Hi everyone. New to the Patreon. Been a YouTube subscriber/viewer for like 5 years now. Joined so I can email Rudy and was wondering what that email address is?

Scott Meyer

For real though Collector and Pre-made decks is where I see opportunities.

Scott Meyer

Give it time they will switch it up again. "Community boxes were created with players in mind and reprints... Lots of reprints!"

Scott Meyer

What he did was not tamper with the boxes.

Spenser Heron

Just received my first order and cracked the boxes. Don’t know what Rudy did but the 3 unfinity boxes paid for all 5 boxes on their own with just mythics rares and lands. Thanks Rudy!

gil

Thanks!

Rudy The Magic Guy

you can use anyones USA registered paypal account, BUT you need to add a note with your patreon email. I need to be able to identify the payment came from a real patron.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Weiss sales are usually first come first serve, but this wednesday coming up will be the final reprint of KonoSuba boxes and due to the limited supply, patrons will need to comment onthe post if they are interested.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Cuddles! Everything is very basic, no hidden fees, no flashy websites. Collector Boxes are now the hottest and most difficult item to acquire in 2025. They are normally limited to 2 boxes per release with magic. You can look at the previous sale posts, but overall there are 2 types of sale posts that happen on the schedule...if supply is very low, i require patrons to comment on the sale post to track the orders. All other normal sales, are first come, first serve on sending paypal payments. As for cheap magic boxes, whatever you see above on the main post is in stock all month.

Cuddles

Hey Rudy, New Timmy on the block here. I understand somewhat how the sales work. Is there a faq or info page somewhere to get more info on how the sales go down? I'm personally interested in MTG Collectors Boxs and would love to get in on the next few Pokemon sales listed coming up in February. Thanks for all the vids and market info. Your video on gambling really sunk it's hooks into me and the theory of a "Max Stupid" market and how you and only 1 other person I get info from called the market what it was.

EJ

Hello, just joined the patreon, thanks for the opportunity! I was looing into getting some Weiss Schwarz product when available. We will have to comment on the post and wait for a reply based on your previous postings? Thanks again!

gil

Thanks, new to the patreon and excited. Just to clarify, i can use my wife's paypal account (family's paypal) but would need to put my patreon email in the memo line right? Just dont want to mess up my first order. Thanks in advance.

Justin Audet

Thanks for the transparency with the price increase, and the Wilds gesture to help the Ixalan demand. Super solid all around.

William Langford

It's a Rudy basement suprise sale

Neil Shivelle

Am I not seeing it or has the SNS item not been listed yet?

Pedro Guimaraes

I am also curious about One Piece. I know it was talked about being some last month or this month?

iaminbarbados

Just curious if it was possible to get a one piece variety bundle sale?

Sean Rogers

Just bought a case of nikki Rudy for $45 a box. Hope ur having a good weekend boss 🤞

Darin Billé

Nice

Christopher Berkley

Rudy replied to someone else that it is still happening but he wasn’t sure which slot. He didn’t specify Feb though.

Dennis Gallagher

Is One Piece 07-08 happening this month? Thanks.

Just sent in my first order -- thanks Rudy! Looking forward to more in the future.

Took your advice on Nikki, picked up a couple cases

Tyler McCoy

Will Wilds of Eldraine be available the whole month or until supply runs out? Asking in hopes I can wait a few days for credit card cycle to start over.

Joshua Halstead

Hey Rudy 👋 is there still a aether drift finish line sale for feb?

Wes Lockhart

I’m still happy about it. I think I’ll have some waffle fries now.

David Lebowitz

An even bigger "my man!"

Rudy The Magic Guy

Wilds will NOT be on the list next month, i added it this month from my personal position to help reduce demand onixalan

Rudy The Magic Guy

Yea i have supply of OP-07 and OP-08 just dont have a firm smart on the schedule yet, thats why I leave some open ended with ??? so i can move things when needed

Rudy The Magic Guy

It will be exp ensive, but insanely loaded with old promos + playmats + special items

Rudy The Magic Guy

yes you can send over 2 paypal payments and add a note saying 1 of 2 and 2 of 2, please try and send them within a couple minutes apart

Rudy The Magic Guy

Wilds is being pulled from my personal position as a courtesy and to help reduce the demand on ixalan

Rudy The Magic Guy

LotR Commander Decks + Bloomburrow Commander decks are in transit and should be on a random slot sometime in Feb/March/April depending on the schedule.

Rudy The Magic Guy

They are slabbed alpha Kickstarter cards from alpha booster box, and I also have sample cards being inserted into the sale. I havent decided how to allocate the sample cards yet, it may either be randomlyinserted or if you buy a certain amount

Rudy The Magic Guy

it is automatic, and if your payment fails, you will be notifed

Daniel Darby

It is time pay my subscription. This will be my second month. Is the subscription to Patreon automatic or do I need to do something?

BrosephStahlyn

Hey Rudy, in regards to the Sorcery graded "Alpha" cards, are these actually alpha cards or are they Sample cards?

Austin Kunishige

Hey Rudy, big fan of the whiteboard Timmy's Emporium videos. When do you think the LOTR will be on sale, or is that an evil scalper's secret?

David Lebowitz

Only $2 increase i was expecting around $4-$5. I have 1 local guy in Hawaii that does pricing like this at extremely limited quantities and even he said he may need to raise his price. And Wilds is back... my man!

Neil Shivelle

@rudy is it possible to send you payment using multiple cards? Either by splitting it in PayPal or sending you two separate payments?

Rudy The Magic Guy

nothing, Draft is instinct...the future will be all play boxes

Rudy The Magic Guy

Pulling from my personal stash to help reduce the demand on Ixalan just for this month lol

Gregory Price

If you're going to crack cases to sell individual boxes, any way you can try to provide some kind of providence proof to help these particular boxes retain case-value?

Shane Miller

Mega insane FaB 5 year anny high roller fomo kit. Count me as intrigued.

Wes Lockhart

Thanks for bringing back WoE in some capacity.

TCG Truth

Hoping to see some one piece this month. Really loving this game

Ruslan Shavlenkov

What's gonna replace the draft boxes next month?

Newberymarksmen

Go to community tab and click the envelope at the top right for pms, payment are through PayPal

Nunuji

Any chance at the Ruu'di Gemkeeper playmate? That's the last thing I need for my Ruu'di collection. :3

Another Fan

First time buying monthly cheap boxes. Hope to grab another Wilds of Eldraine box next month. I held off on the set because I didn’t open my Throne box yet. And money went to other collectibles.

James Bryan

You're the man!

Rudy The Magic Guy

I would do a mix between Crimson/Ixlan and take the 1 x wilds box - This is the end of Draft boxes.

James Bryan

What is your go to order recommendation this month Rudy!!!!!!

Mateo

Arcane rising 1st ed 😳

Pyronic

Oh yikes, i was hoping for a fun FAB special but this sounds like itll be too rich for my blood...

Andy Wilkes

I have a hard time wanting to pull the trigger on it cause I feel it will be cheap on the open market forever. You can still get it for $75-80 on eBay. They must have printed it to the ground.

Arturo Ruiz

I really want to make sure I have everything right for when I send my payments but I not sure how to send a PM I’m new to all this

Anthony Paramo

That’s wild.

Andy Wilkes

Very cool of you. My wife loves the Eldraine sets so I’m happy to get more for us to play with.

Rudy The Magic Guy

yes....

Rudy The Magic Guy

expensive and loaded with old promos and playmats

Rudy The Magic Guy

60% of the orders ship to the farthest zone from Florida which is to CA/WA state so that alone is like $9 shipping and has the highest impact on costs. It is what it is. Most patrons have been here a long time and understand the value and why this remains the largest and best setup for anyone wanting good/safe boxes. But there will always be a 5% turnover of people that will be hateful and angry.

Aaron

The show goes on!

Rudy The Magic Guy

i estimate 50-100

Rudy The Magic Guy

expensive and insane.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I placed it back on the list with a limit of 1 box from my personal stash. This should help reduce the strain on ixalan and other sets

Peter R

Poor old Crimson Vow. Nobody loves you.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I placed it back on the list with a limit of 1 box from my personal stash. This should help reduce the strain on ixalan and other sets

Lain Fowle

Sweet! Thank you!

Gianni Vlamis

Preferably fruit snacks

Rudy The Magic Guy

that item will happen on a sale...im just not sure which slot yet

PizzaPasta

Will you also have cookies in the bundle?

Lain Fowle

Rudy, no Aetherdrift finish line bundles? No worries, just was hoping to get from you if possible.

Timothy White

AL Kits... Pull rates are brutal. Still love Sorcery

Aaron

Rudy, is it correct that Wilds draft is available again this month?

William Kern

Wait, Rudy did you change the Aetherdrift Fat Bundle to commander sets?

Andy Wilkes

Eldraine is back or is that a typo?

Chuck Noonan

Just how spicy is the fab 5 year anniversary high roller kit going to be

Andrew singh

I wonder how many people will leave due to a $2 increase. Still a great deal IMO

Nicklaus Corney

Gotta tell the wife Valentine’s Day is cancelled!

Gianni Vlamis

And what sword/shield boxes for that bundle?

Anthony Paramo

I read $93 and think about how much shipping has increased. And all I can think is there is some fool out there saying “what a rip off” or “what happened to $91 shipped” how much do you lose selling these boxes.
