Post "~ January 2025 Products & Schedule ~" by "AlphaInvestments" from patreon

Yes, I actually checked eBay just out of curiosity and there’s quite a few around $100. I grabbed one for $100 taxed and shipped. Surprising since eBay is usually a little more expensive but I guess stores are still having trouble moving these boxes. Despite only 7 cards per pack, they pack a punch with some good value even on uncommons. The singles sell very well on TCGplayer.

Joshua Halstead

You can still get them on eBay for a little under $100 shipped. I was waiting for the sale but saving funds for aether.

Nick Woltman

I am not used to sending money through PayPal. Can I attach a credit card to my account when sending money? It shows no fees on my end when sending, but I don't know if it charges fees on your end.

Christopher Berkley

Start with reading the monthly sales post and then look back at old posts from Rudy. For Pokemon, wait for announcements of Pokemon sales. Sometimes he advertises in advance but not always. Each Friday and Sunday at 9 PM ET, he will have a special sale featuring a product for one of the various CCGs (F&B, Magic, Pokemon, etc.) and typically there are varying by amounts you can purchase with the price/product lowering the more you buy.

Christopher Berkley

You get an email when a tracking number has been created. There are no confirmation emails per se but that is close enough. As for time to receive, I have received orders within as little as 3 days and as long as a 10 or so days (huge sale). Usually no more than a week.

Thank you

This is the only reason I built my Eldrazi deck. I stumbled upon a very well animated lore video with good narration and it was actually interesting! So i built an Eldrazi for my first commander deck.

BrewCrew75

The Books were in the fat packs. Perhaps you were talking about a small booklet in the starter packs or the tournament decks. But the full story books were in the fat packs. I luckily have almost a full set of the books with some duplicates, although some of the books are still in unopened fat packs. I have Torment, Onslaught, Judgment, Prophecy, Nemesis, Mercadian Masques, Odyssey. I used to love collecting the fat packs. That was until Rudy suggested not to collect them because they take up too much room vs. a booster box. He was right. So now I only pick 1 or 2 for each set.

Rudy, just made my first MTG purchase since Iceage. Please LMK if I biffed up the PayPal payment. And thanks for reigniting the passion.

Caleb English

Just sent you cash! (My first order!) LCI draft case :)

Adrien Miramontes (Arcane Haven)

Just got my first couple draft ixalan boxes! If there’s more in Feb then I will be buying more if not then i’ma wait till aether release. Thanks a ton rudy, also how can I purchase a T-shirt? Would like one for sure

Rudy The Magic Guy

You have already closed your account / and now your banned for life. Take care.

Jasson Sanchez

Awesome appreciate it

yaro

I see. Thank you!

Rudy The Magic Guy

thats correct, if you want the case sealed and not having any shipping labels taped to it and dirt from USPS, and plan on NOT opening it, adding the +$10 is proably for you

Jasson Sanchez

So making my first order Rudy I want a case double boxed so it's price of 6 boxes plus the 10$. Is there additional shipping i pay also

Rudy The Magic Guy

i am currently shipping and processing ordeers from last night....you can private message me your paypal email and paypal transaction ID number and iwill take a look

yoshochan555

sent payment on the 9th but didn't get tracking.. you posted that you were backlogged for a few items.. wanted to know if you can send me a tracking when you have the chance

Rudy The Magic Guy

All tracking is sent to the paypal email address

yaro

Why do you not sell collector boxes?

brandon turner

Just placed my first order will the tracking be sent to me on here or another platform such as PayPal?

Trevor Andrews

Excellent. It’s a blast to open.

Nina

I sure do

Eric Gamache

You say you can get a sol ring for $.25 day...where?! It is at the minimum $1.15

Derek

cause edgar markov is mtg and the one ring is mtg AND lord of the rings which is significantly more collectible. more people follow the lord of the rings story and lore and LOTR is on a whole different level. idk who follows mtg story and lore but probably not a ton. wizards honestly doesn't do a good job pushing the mtg story alongside the product. if they did people would connect with these characters a lot more and maybe they would pay more for the special versions of cards. for example back in the 90s when you bought a tempest starter deck or maybe it was the precon deck they gave you a little storybook with it that went through the lore and characters. to this day just from reading that I like those characters (gerrard, mirri, crovax, volrath etc...) 100x more than any other characters because it created a connection. they need to fuse story back into the products and get people better connected again. I don't ever get the urge to search for the story personally. but if they include it I'll read it. like wizards should take those art cards and gold stamped ones and print lore and story on the back of them. maybe then there would actually be a market for them. to this day i love cards that have lore on them below the card text. people just like to play magic and edgar markov is an amazing commander. also, IMO the true collector pieces in magic are the vintage hand drawn art from the 90's. I'll buy a $1 sheltered valley from alliances and a $.50 cent Festival from the dark before any of the art on these newer cards.

Mateo

Yeah he did mention that he got 50 cases. Sale could be this Friday! Rudy typically prices slightly under tcgplayer, but without charging taxes or shipping.

Discussion: Innistrad remastered vs masterpiece era vs LOTR Special ed. Dollars and sense 1. Today, Innistrad remastered cards tanked and probably won’t rebound for any real money anytime soon because everyone ripped cases of product chasing Edgar and found they have too many poster cards in every box with 3 to 5 different printings of all the chase cards. 2. First ever chase cards in history. Masterpiece era, BFZ, aether, kaladesh, amonkhet, Hour of devastation cards. Most of these cards in all of these sets aren’t high value cards. Not because there aren’t good playable cards on these sets it’s just everyone heavily ripped packs chasing the masterpieces. 1, that caused all cards to run to the bottom as the market was flooded and became bulk. And there was about 30-50 absolutely beautiful masterpiece chase cards that were about 1 pulled per entire case of draft booster. Yes know it was possible to pull one in a bundle but was super rare. And for 15 years Sol ring masterpiece was the most expensive sol ring out of any would ring printed. Which is almost printed as much as evolving wilds. So if you need a sol ring for your deck you can get one for $0.25 all day long. But if you want The One golden child sol ring masterpiece you’re going to drop a paycheck, minimum. And you could open 20 cases of Kaladesh and pull 20 masterpieces and still not pull a sol ring. $$$$$$$$ ps I still think this particular card is way underpriced. but we don’t know how many truly got printed and there is no serial numbers. 3. Recent history collector era. LOTR special ed. This product had 10-15 serialized poster art with poster foils and non foils of the same version. Average price of these cards is around $150. And the collector boxes are $1300+. These boxes were a limited run, with serialized cards in them. Yes they banned one ring in modern and caused the price to go down from the $2000 high per box. And most of the serialized cards are very expensive, $1000’s of dollars per serialized card. And most of these cards are ehh, not bad, playable, good cards. Right 4. Edgar Markov? The value of Edgar has raced to the bottom because not there are 500-1000 different copies for sale online, not including what game stores have on the shelf and not counting how many are in play boosters that haven’t even been opened. So the showcase foil alternate art version is probably the best casual, affordable, playable, in deck card available to buy. And will most likely stay affordable. The question…..why is a serialized Edgar Markov, 1 of 500, Teir one CEDH commander not priced to The One Ring Serialized price?? Or higher?? This is a holy grail card!! There are not any non serialized posters foil or non foil in the set for Edgar like the one ring or Tom bombadill or Sauron. How many EDH players have or want to build an Edgar deck, casual or competitive. Now, how many cases, just on YouTube alone, how many cases upon cases of $300 collector boxes have been opened with zero serialized rainbow foiled poster Edgar’s??? So you open $8000 worth of collector boxes and you have NO serialized Edgar?? And it’s selling for $3000 on eBay??? That is INSANE!!!!!

Trevor Andrews

Rudy mentioned an Assassin’s Creed Beyond booster sale. Any idea when that will be? Curious what the price might be.

DanielFish2

no sale to pass on today :(

BrewCrew75

Hey Rudy's Game Piece army. Is there a site like Scryfall for F&B? One that has the sets and prices for singles? Any recommendations is appreciated.

ReneSeattleGraz

Thanks, feels like home 😀

Nick Woltman

Got it, thanks Rudy!

Rudy The Magic Guy

All prices have all fees and all shiping costs included, i am old fashioned, there are no hidden or additional fees period. Send the payment and add a note, i will take it from there

Nick Woltman

I am also wondering the same thing. Are these flat fees? Like tax included?

Spenser Heron

Just placed my first order on Sunday. Any idea on when I should anticipate getting a confirmation email? Just making sure I’m not missing something. Thanks!

ReneSeattleGraz

Do I have to calculate sales tax and add it to the paypal payment? For example I buy one box for 116.- how much should I pay (Seattle)?

Mateo

And check out Rudy's ebay store. He's got a couple singles up on there I think

Mateo

Patreon used to have a community tab where we could forum post but they did away with that sometime last year. The pinned monthly post has become the defacto forum i suppose.

Relictas

Oh that’s too bad! Is this the only community forum or do you have a secret place for patreons to connect that is not linked on here ::wink wink:: edit. Also do you sell any singles online?

Rudy The Magic Guy

Sorry no, any attempts at links to other website are auto flagged and removed. This is due to the events that took place in 2020 and bad people

Relictas

Is there a discord server? Sorry if i missed it. Just putting the word out there if anyone is willing to part with a dammaged, but sleeve playable, Mishra s Workshop. I can afford to spend $1,000 maybe a few pennies more! Really want this but not trying to spend over $1500.

Joshua Halstead

I’m looking forward to the finish line bundle case sale. Aether drift doesn’t look bad and always buy when the market screams in anger.

William Yuen

Is there a way I can private message you in some way on this platform? Curious as to how you created your spreadsheet.

Matthew Tapper

Can the monthly membership be deducted as a business expense? Cost incurred during the purchase of consumer goods? Maybe professional services instead?

Zaiven

Just made my first purchase, paypal money sent thanks Rudy!

David Milner

Just sent money for the monthly allotment to store cardboard game pieces and it feels good.

Trevor Andrews

It is not a public spreadsheet. I don’t open enough to use a subscription either. You can ask me if there’s any numbers you are curious about

Ben Hudson

things i like: money, and investing in cardboard things I dont really know how to do: order from this patreon and WHEN to order. Help? :)

William Yuen

is it a public spreadsheet? Using something like MoxAlpha is probably the best to see EV I'm assuming, but I don't buy nearly enough to make a service like that worth it.

Nathan Jeffcoat

cant wait to hold on to cardboard for the rest of my life

Rudy The Magic Guy

yes if that includes all tax and shipping costs

Sean Rogers

Hey Rudy , I was thinking about buying some assassins creed collector boxes for 235 tax free. Would this be wise?

Trevor Andrews

Just received my first order from Rudy. Thanks!

Trevor Andrews

From the draft boxes- Unfinity has the best EV From play boxes it’s all pretty equal from the spreadsheets I’m looking at. You can go on TCGplayer and check out which sets seem to have the best value for uncommons and rares to get an idea which box is best to open.

Mateo

Hey, this article from Patreon shows you how to direct message creators. Hope this helps! https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002832026-How-do-I-message-a-creator

Mateo

You should get an email from "Creepy Rudy" that has the tracking info. Normally takes a few days to get sent out after a big sale

Mateo

Due to popular demand he actually made a video about that last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gfgLHKtOcw

Shaundrummer

Hey Rudy! Not sure how to send messages. So I’ll try this. So shows I’m a memeber on YouTube link but Patreon it doesn’t. Not sure how to fix. Thanks

iaminbarbados

I wonder if we will see Rudys tool collection on the list from his mechanic days…

Justin Morine

How do I track an order?

Brandon Polley

No sunday sale?

Jeremy Hanson

I would say that you should read the montly post but an edit occured and now the Jan 12 pokemon event is now missing form the schedule and so is another one. I should of took a screenshot.

Jacob Saina

Do you plan on having hunted Blitz decks?

Esteban Valadez

Watch Rudy's videos and you'll know what to go for. Unfinity will not be for sale after this month and Lost Caverns and CV will not be for sale within the next 2-3 months, so grab these while you can. After that, Draft boxes are gone from here. Plenty of time to grab the other items at $116.

William Yuen

I'm not sure if I'm using and reading MTG stocks correnctly, but their prices don't seem corrent. WoE is at $61 which seems really low. Bloomburrow at $409? That seems really high. I guess I don't know how they are calculating their prices. I'm primarily buying as either to invest and hold or to open immediately to increase my small inventory on TCGplayer and ebay that I'm working on. The amount of people I know that play MTG is unfortunately almost non existent and I just go to pre-releases these days whenever they happen every 2-3 months.

Austin H

I would say Lost Caverns is highest followed by Unfinity, followed by Crimson Vow. As for EV, I have sen people say they use MTG Stocks. But a lot of people like me also just buy a set because they like the pretty pictures

William Yuen

ah okay thank you. So I have about 7 days to decide on what I would like for the month before it resets next month. I've only been playing MTG since Lost Cavern's of Ixalan, so I'm not familiar with Unfinity and Crimson Vow. Is there a good website that people here use to get an accurate current EV of a box?

Ben Hudson

Just joined, glad to be here! How do I keep tabs on and order pokemon product? trying to get up to speed here

John Cavanaugh

First of month reset. I'd suggest you go for the older $91 draft boxes first because those will be going away very soon. As in you might not be able to get them next month.

William Yuen

Hello all! I just joined and was interested in buying some product. Can anyone explain to me how the 1-6 box limit works? Does it reset on the first of every month? Or does it reset on the day you joined each month? From an investment standpoint, is there certain boxes that should be bought to either hold or open that have a high average EV?

Josh Caro

Innistrad isn't a standard set. The list is for standard sets only as far as I know. But I'm also new to the program.

Marc Diamond

Made my first order. Thank you Rudy

Neil Shivelle

Would Uninfinity Collector boxes for $200 + free shipping be a good deal?

Paul Lamb

Bloomburrow is available, but there's a three box limit (per monthly order)

Youngtaek Kim (dndyt)

made my first order, thank you Rudy!

john adams

Just ordered my first as well. Thank you

Nicholas

Okay thank you , I’m just waiting on the email then , I ordered on the holiday yesterday so I assume I’ll be seeing the email some time today.

Karl

Sent my first box order. Love the bloomburrow set, thanks for carrying at your prices Rudy!

Bryan

I’m a recent first timer as well. He sent me a confirmation email with usps tracking number. My order arrives tomorrow!

Trevor Andrews

Before I make an order…Is he out of Bloomburrow play boxes?

Nicholas

Just sent an order for the first time on paypal , do we get confirmation message that the Order was received and an estimated delivery date ? Just curious, I don’t mind waiting

Rogelio Lara Barajas

I meant between play!,draft,set and etc… I wasn’t really worry about a specific set but what type of boxes to buy.

Scott Meyer

In general there is no single box that he could tell you to buy that's going to make you rich. If he knew which one to buy he wouldn't have positions in every release. The way I look at it is diversification to protect yourself. So long as 60% of your boxes go up the few that go down are covered. To start with I would recommend buying the oldest boxes and ones that are soon to go out of print or no longer offered.

Gerald Tarrant

1/19/2025 - Sunday Night Special - MTG - Innistrad Remastered PLAY Boxes

Ryan BEN

I’m guessing the innistrad remaster play gets put up next month?

Nicholas

Thank you

Joshua Halstead

You can private message Rudy with the message a creator.

Nicholas

Hey where do I go to ask inquiries/quotes about older sets ? Still new to Patreon and how this works

Justin Soppe

Whats in the Haunted Promo kits?

Austin H

You may be on the general patreon page. Desktop: On the left pane, there should be a button that says "Rudy The Magic Guy" with a picture of Rudy in a blue shirt. Click that button and it should take you to the dedicated page with the message button Mobile: Tap on "Rudy the Magic Guy" at the top Tap The Chat bubles button at the bottom of the screen Tap the envelope icon and compose your message

Nina

Additional note. Play Boosters are 30 packs going forward with AetherDrift.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Nina, that is the paypal mobile short link, i went ahead and added that to the post above to help everyone inthe future :-)

Nina

Paypal is autocorrecting alphainvestmentsllc@gmail.com to alphainvestments69, is that correct?

Joshua King (Starlight)

Hopefully that helps

Joshua King (Starlight)

If you are on the app on the home page on the bottom click the icon that looks like a chat symbol to the top right there should be another symbol that looks like an envelope click that then click add again on the top right add Rudy the magic guy and you should be able to message him at least that is how I do it.

Kyle

Heya, so I was wondering the same, but I don’t see the message button on the top right. Am I missing something?

Rudy The Magic Guy

Gonna be tight. Limit 2 boxes for collectors

Rudy The Magic Guy

Limit will be 4

LykeItorNot

Hi Rudy, for The Hunted Promo kits, what’s the limit per patron, if any?

Justin Audet

Very curious to see how the Innistrad Remastered supply rumors pan out

Joshua King (Starlight)

Ahh ok thanks for the help!

Austin H

Draft and Set Boxes have been phased out and have been recently replaced by Play boxes, but many Draft boxes are still on the market including here. The difference is the card distribution. Every set is a little different but typically it goes like this: Draft: • 1 Box Topper Card (only in some sets) • 36 MTG Draft Boosters, each booster contains: • 15 Magic: The Gathering cards per booster • 1 card of rarity Rare or higher in every pack • 3-4 Uncommon cards • 9-10 Common cards • 1 Land card (Full-Art Land in 30% of boosters) • 1 Traditional Foil card replaces a Common in 33% of boosters Play: • 36 Play Boosters; each booster contains: • 14 Magic: The Gathering cards • 1-5 cards of rarity Rare of higher • 3-6 Uncommon cards • 5-8 Common cards • 1 Land card (Traditional Foil Land replaces a Land in 20% of boosters) • 1 card of any rarity is Traditional Foil; Foil Borderless Mythic Planeswalker in <1% of boosters; List card included in 20% of Play Boosters

Austin H

You can private message him via the message button on the top right of the page. It usually takes him a day or two to respond depending on how busy he is.

Joshua King (Starlight)

Hello I’m a bit new to this so sorry I’m advance I have a few questions for Rudy is there a way I can contact him via patreon or email?

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hello Neil, i ALWAYS reco starting with the oldest or the box thats leavin us...right now UNIFINITY is on last call...so at the end of this month its permanetly gone. Over the next 3 months, i expect Crimson Vow and Ixlan to fall off also

Neil Shivelle

Hi Rudy, from the list of cheap MTG above what would be a recommendation as a good starting point? I want to start by dipping my toes in the water first.

Neil Shivelle

Hi all, getting back into MTG and have a quick question. What exactly is the difference between Play and Draft boxes? I played back when all you had was a box of packs.

Anson

Thanks Rudy, this Jumpstart product is perfect for getting my bros into magic.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Correct, in the past, some patrons starting ordering 1 box every week and the shipping costs got outta control. So now you must get everything at once for the month when it comes to cheap boxes on the list. As for high demand new collector boxes, the quantity will be tight at 2 box orders with a small discount to tcgplayer. As stated on the videos for the last couple months, i would buy from multiple sources moving forward due to tight print runs

Nicholas

Ohhh okay thank you for the clarification, so I could get 2 foundation at order of $232 but not one order of foundation at $116 then another a few days later for $116 on another order, I gotcha. Have you posted when and how much you’ll be selling innistrad remastered for ? Sorry if it’s posted I’m not to use to navigating patreon yet . Also I appreciate the deals that you are offering I didn’t want to sound like I didn’t with my first question, I just wasn’t sure If I understood right

Rudy The Magic Guy

A couple patrons bought all the remaining fab cases out around 45 days ago. They wiped me out.

Rudy The Magic Guy

the $91/$116 magic boxes are already sold at a loss, therefore you can only place 1 order per month for that type of item. Within that order you can choose between 1-6 boxes. You can NOT place multiple orders throughout the month for 1 box each, you must get everything at once for the cheap magic boxes. You can also particiapte in any sales throughout the month.

Nicholas

This is probably a dumb question but does the “ may only place 1 Order per month for cheap “ mean for example I can get foundation play booster for cheaper then $116 once a month ? Or is that the already listed cheap price ? Also if it is different then listed for the once per month cheap box , what amount do I send for it ? Sorry for the dumb question, I just signed up today and very new to your channel and patreon , will new to patreon in general , I downloaded it for this lol

Mason Borg

All my lgs have most of these for 140+. Easy decision

Cippy

Funny I was just thinking that yesterday. If anyone knows please share

Benkpdx

It is probably in a Youtube video (I am a little behind lately)--but did Rudy mention why he removed FaB from his monthly list?

Moatball

How do you move up tiers? can you put me on a list or something

Paul Chap

The latest video saying store cost was around $145-$150

Al

Just saw this as well, Rudy said store cost was around $140 for these right?

Gerald Tarrant

If anyone is interested, TCGPlayer has a special on Innistrad Remastered Play boxes for $154.99 before sales tax today only (1/10/2025)

Rudy The Magic Guy

Yes the price will be lower due to the cheaper price per box on Aether and moving forward

Christopher Berkley

I probably missed it but does anyone remember whether Rudy talked about lowering the price for the Aetherdrift play boxes since they will have 30 vice 36 packs?

Christopher Berkley

that’s him

BigZMTG

Hi rudy, just ordered some bloomburrow and left a note about my paypal name potentially being different, hope the note was enough, big fan since 2016 placing my first order nearly 10 years later :)

jeremy robertson

New here i was getting PayPal set up are you @alphainvestments69?

Rogelio Lara Barajas

Hey Rudy, I’ve been investing into Pokemon a little bit before the craziness there is now, but I don’t want to invest anymore during this time period. I want to get into Magic the gathering because I know there is a ton of potential but I have no clue what to buy or collect in this card game. Would you ever make a video basically for the newcomers who want to get into magic and explain what’s worth buying for long term and what to stay away from? It just gets a little confusing seeing different types of booster boxes in magic. Thanks 😊

Joshua Halstead

Rudy does a sale on release. You can message him directly for a private order.

Joshua Halstead

Yup that is correct 👍 you can buy any sales. You can only order once per month from the cheap mtg product.

Stefanos Amanuel

lot of new people getting a slap of reality. It's better than cable!

James Envy

That hurts but assuming one becomes available do they have access to options other than mtg on a regular basis? I plan on living a long time and eventually during that time a slot will likely open, so can you please answer the question I asked?

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hello James $20/$100 tier has been sold out for 6 years. Due to demand increase have no plans on creating more slots

Bryan

Weather delay!?!? It’s almost 40 degrees here in Alaska. You getting some winter weather down in Florida Rudy?

James Envy

Question about the 100$ patron tier, when it says boxes of each game type does that only include magic or are there pokemon boxes always available at that tier?

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hello Bryan, if you can see it on the monthly list, it is available

Bryan Long

I just joined. Is it still possible for me to buy boxes of Foundations at this price? Thanks in advance.

Heath Mickelson

Hey Justin, I could be mistaken, but I believe you are correct. On the last part. Just one sale of cheap magic per month Sales you can get anytime there is a sale. At least that is my understanding.

Justin DePaola

If i buy my 6 boxes and then a later sale comes up in the month, can i not get that sale cause i already got one order for the month? Or is it just one order for the cheap magic cases and then i can also order sale items?

Matthew Schaehrer

New to Patreon. Just wanted to say hi. Plan on being around for the long term. Excited for each new video and the deals. Thanks

TCG_Florida

No problem guys

Michael Horsman

New here was wondering how to check on some early SV cases I missed out on?

hunter nuckols

Thank you as well

DanielFish2

thank you !

TCG_Florida

Hey Hunter, It is! I had to double check myself Thanks, M

DanielFish2

I am in the same boat ! if anyone who has done an order could confirmed it would be appreciated !

Alex

Hi Rudy, curious about how much you know about Magic's manufacturing process and if things like ink, foil, raw paper, etc, are imported. With talks of tariffs do you think prices on base product will go up? Or do you think that's already been factored into recent price increases.

Alex

also made this mistake - I switched my payment method in settings. Hopefully that's alright.

Jason Valerio

Hey Just a heads up. I am new but I am interested in these. 1/10/2025 - Friday Night Special - Poke - Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Cases 1/12/2025 - Sunday Night Special - Poke - Prismatic Evolutions Ancillary Bundles

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Shane! If you want to keep it sealed and pretty and clean, then yes i would recomend it. If you are simply opening the boxes and cracking packs...then save the $10

Shane Miller

Just joined up. Random question for the vets out here, when buying a full order of 6 of the standard Magic boxes, do you normally add in the extra $10 for double boxing or no?

Christopher Berkley

Agree with Soupy. Check out past sales where it says don’t send payment and instead reply via comment.

Soupy

He will let you know how much you can buy and how to send it. He will post at .9 pm I can only imagine you will have to comment on the post because of how many people will want it. Once he comments on your comment- he will instruct you on what to send/say.

michael lamorte

me 3. just joined and trying to figure out exactly how it works. I can only assume that at 9pm there will be a post that the etb are live and we just send a paypal with what we need and amount including taxes? i would assume also that the prices will be available on said post so we know exactly what to send?

jackie chen

First time supporter! Ready to see the sale Friday

Michael Behm

I was wondering the same thing, also what will be the limit per patreon?

Eric Cooper

Hey there Rudy and community - stoked to finally join after watching Rudy the past year on YouTube. He mentioned in his video just posted an hour ago that his Prismatic ETBs would be dropped soon for his patreons. I'm new to this - can anyone advise how this will work?

hunter nuckols

Is Rudy's PayPal username @Alphainvestments69 ? Just want to double check and make sure. Newer patron, first time buyer

aaron franco

Random question. Both my first and last name are the same on Patreon and PayPal but the emails aren’t the same, would that be an issue when trying to buy product?

Roanld Knox

Guess its time to buy Stompinggrounds out of their Wild draft boxes 😆

Sam White

Appreciate it thanks

Jonathan Cassidy

don't wait, its going to be limit 2 I think he said, but he's encouraging any and everyone to get in whatever orders you can at anything around that price point, I've got 2 from elsewhere, and might try to get in on Rudy's sale, but these items have just gone straight up, sometimes pre-release. Market is dumb and doesn't learn, or these would be about 440 right now, imo. Like LOTR and Fallout did.

Sam White

Hey Rudy, do you know if the Innistrad remastered collector boxes will be under $300 each from you if we get them in bulk (x3, x6 etc)? I have a chance to preorder them at $300 each and was wondering if I should wait

Jeremy Hanson

Pokemon sword and shield era cards are easily gamed. Hold on to your sealed cases as they are about to explode in value. https://youtu.be/CYXLHGLq9fk?si=NhAD7vbo4YyrY18N

Well, Timmy, you just pour this nitroglycerin in this blender while I get behind this lead shield.

Charlie Luallin

Everything is explained to the degree that it can be. Take everything literally. Nobody saves spots. If it says to comment then comment if it doesn’t then just send payment. If your payment doesn’t sync up with your patreon info leave a note. If you pay for the monthly boxes then put a note on what ones you want and how many of each.

Kevin Kierulf

Hey guys! I just joined the Patreon and am excited to be apart of the group. I’m still trying to figure out the process. Any hints besides the pinned instruction? I see a lot about securing spots. Hoping to get clarification.

Rudy The Magic Guy

All sales are 9:00pm est

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Garrett, the 2 main ways of buying our the normal magic items on this post available all month. Or when special sales launch on the schedule above

Christopher Lee

Thanks, Rudy; order up! :D

Charlie Luallin

Big cases sell through of prismatic ETBs yesterday and 1 pinged this morning leaving only 3 listings and 11 total cases on TCG at $1,500. I am curious of what will happen. Will loose boxes make a run up to case prices or will cases come out of thin air to get posted at what is current loose equivalent pricing?

Joshua Halstead

Wooooo let’s go! My order got to the P.O. Box yesterday. Group is hyped to see them graded.

Garrett Osterhoudt

Please excuse the stupid questions as I am a new member. How exactly do I go about requesting specific items to purchase? Additionally, is the a spreadsheet or something that indicates what might be for sale? Additionally, will I be required to purchase everything with PayPal?

Mike Massad

Hi Rudy...first time getting into your patreon. When do you drop your ??? products, like is it a certain time? Being on Hawaii time, I have to set an alarm if they are early morning drops. TYIA 😀

Jacobi Barron

Appreciate the reply. Thanks for the information. I have never placed an order. New to the Patreon. Hopefully in 2025 there will be more Pokemon opportunities.

Anthony Paramo

Rudy Use to do Pokemone, but People complained when he allowed indivual boxes for sale at like $99 a box all in. People would send messages talking about how he's a rip off. Sad day when he removed indivual boxes of pokemon. but I'd take it down too if people were just bashing me daily.

Anthony Paramo

Anyone in our TCG Community Have Marvel Ultimate Battle Cards? Looking to buy Specific cards. But I'm open to trading cards. They are from 2008, so I know its a long shot, but if anyone has dead games or just TCGs in general it would be this group.

Andrew J Meyers

Hiya Rudy, got my shirt thanks bud, been excuted for some Sorcery Product soon.

Lain Fowle

Thanks for adding jumpstart 2025 to the monthly list!

Rogelio Lara Barajas

I finally have myself a spot as a Patron! Been waiting a long time for some Timmy to kick the can.

Sayed A. Al-Refai

William Vaughn

Godspeed this year, you Florida taco enthusiast.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Send a test paypal payment for $1 and attach a usa address.

Sayed A. Al-Refai

Hello Rudy, I just joined as a new patron after finally finding a spot. Im from the Middle East but i use a Florida address to get all my items shipped and then consolidate them to me. Will that work as a shipping address? And in terms of payment i always use PayPal and both emails/names are the same. But in this post you mentioned internationals must use crypto..

Vic W.

Cheers to 2025 and stocking up on new product ✌🏼

Jace Rothrock

Much appreciated to the both of you, and to you especially Rudy. Thank you for giving opportunity.

Ryan Gunst

Hi Rudy, I just joined the bandwagon. I sent my order on Paypay, hopefully I did it right. Here's to a great 2025. XOXO, Ryan

plowe81

I have 2 email accounts linked to my paypal. The one on here and another one i lost the password to. I am new as well. Just signed up today. I will try and remove the old email address but i have tried before and had problems. I didnt use that address to sign up here because i no longer have access to it.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Jose, yes...this is the main post that will be pinned for the entire month, anything on this post is available all month long. The specialty sale schedule will have specific instructions on each sale

Jose Castillo-Garcia

Hi Rudy, I'm a new Patron. On previous posts, I've noticed you ask for commenting on the post before providing payment. For posts like this one, can we proceed with submitting payment and then commenting on the post? Or is there no need to comment? Thank you for your time and I look forward to ordering from you.

Jacobi Barron

Thanks for the reply. I see the list for magic. Is there a list for pokemon cards?

Rudy The Magic Guy

yes all the cheap magic boxes on the list can be done in 1-6 box quantities

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Tammy! At the end of the day, when the payemnts are audited, i need to be able to verify and identify the person sending the payment is a REAL patron, and i use your exact name / email to see if it matches any active patron accounts, if your information doesnt match, simply add a note

Tammy Walsh

How do I send a note regarding my email and name so my account is not canceled?

Jacobi Barron

Are you able to buy individual products or you have to buy cases?

Patrick Pesa

Happy New Year Rudy and fellow Patrons! My first official year in the Rudy slap your mom and dad's taco stand clubhouse, I'm never leaving it took years to get on the $15 grab with no reach around hahaha!

prodigal

Good time to be a Rudy patron 😁

prodigal

Bad news for my wallet 😭

Warehouse guy

I to want to be disappointed on January 17th. No it's ok I was lucky enough to get a sealed case of PC ETBs of prizmatic. I just stumbled apon the content and enjoy Rudy and the dry humor. If I get a box of something it's just a bonus. Keep up the content. Is Timmy the dinosaur that they keep killing by mistake on that old TV show Dinosaurs? Haha " we are going to need another Timmy!"

TJ

Say no more! Thanks a lot dude - again I hope none of my comments came across the wrong way/not as I intended

TJ

Try explaining that to my TCG player customer who purchased on December 31 wondering why their package hasn't moved after being scanned in on the 31st 😂

Rudy The Magic Guy

If someone is dumb enough to dump all the Prismatic ETBS at $59.99 you buy them all. If you dont want them, give me my email address

TJ

I totally understand, and I completely agree with you. The reason I was asking is because I have a weird, yet great opportunity to purchase a bunch at MSRP, and I wanted to check with you before buying X more boxes and going crazy looking at my screen, when you drop haha, as I plan on buying them from you as well, assuming I can get some before they're gone. I totally understand, and I appreciate you and Peter taking the time to reply!

Peter R

That's awesome. Congrats to yourself and the team. Maybe next time you do it I'll have enough cardboard worth sticking in a slab to take advantage lol.

Rudy The Magic Guy

correct, if you want some cheap magic boxes, you simply send over a total amount depending what you want and add a note

Rudy The Magic Guy

1-3 day average ship times...excluding holidays...like the lat 48 hours where everything is closed.

TJ

I know it's cases, but perhaps I should have clarified, however, thanks for the reply my dude!

Peter R

Just send the full amount and a note with what you want. If you don't hear back from him in a day or two you did it right and the boxes will be in your mailbox soon.

Rudy The Magic Guy

MSRP, doesnt mean anything, and how only matters because everything stopped going down in price. Prismatic MSRP is $59.99 and will be WAY OVER THAT PRICE. It will sell out, and people will be angry

Peter R

Well one thing to note is it's cases. And he usually goes by TCGplayer price, not MSRP.

TJ

Happy New Year! Let me preface this by saying I'm still a relatively new paid member: should we expect the Prismatic Evolutions ETBs be available at or under MSRP, when buying from you ? I am not going to attack you if they're above MSRP etc, so please don't assume the worst, as I completely understand what kind of market we are in.

Stefanos Amanuel

Are current orders back to normal processing times?

Jace Rothrock

Just for clarification on sending monthly orders to paypal. Do I send the full amount to your address or is that handled after sending the amount of boxes I was looking to purchase? Just didn’t wanna be a Timmy and do it properly.

Michael Javid

Rudy The Magic Guy

goodluck and prepare for disappointment

Rudy The Magic Guy

blend between different poster pack / bundles

Rudy The Magic Guy

Set boxes were an awkward product line, this is why wotc merged them into play boxes. I focus on Draft/Collector

Rudy The Magic Guy

still happening, but left it open to choose which ???

Rudy The Magic Guy

a LOT of people did....December 2024 was a record month for PCG. It smashed all records on customer count and order sizes. #1 was pokemon orders #2 was magic order #3/#4 was tied with SOrcery/Fab orders

Dr. Joseph S.

I’m just here to post a cat 🐈

Peter R

Did anyone take Rudy up on the PCG sale in December with the free boxes? I don't have enough cards worth grading to take advantage myself 🤣🤣.

Peter R

I see that the One Piece stash of 07 and 08 dropped off the sale calendar 😕. On another note, do you think the play box price will change for Aetherdrift with the number of packs per display changing?
