Foundations / Pokemon Update
🕑 Added 2024-11-20 01:55:33 +0000 UTCI felt this news is important enough to send out a patron post before videos are made in the next 48 hours.
DO NOT PAY $145+Tax for Foundations online
DO NOT PAY $135+Tax for Foundations Jumpstart.
I have pallets coming that will be WAY UNDER these prices.
Magic Foundations Jumpstart - I have a pallet arriving in 2 weeks, so i can offer patrons this item. It will most likely be by the CASE ONLY.
Magic Foundations PLAY Boxes - Will be added to the Monthly list December 1st for $116 shipped.
~ POKEMON REPRINT HAS ARRIVED AT DISTRIBUTION ~
SV01 - NO reprint scheduled, buy today at the $110's

I just joined after years of following Rudy on Youtube. Question: where can I can find the list of draft boxes currently for sale? Thanks!
Lyin Eyes
Thanks for the info Paul, I appreciate it. Robert.
Hayden Workman
So excited you picked up Jumpstart!
Michael Howell
I got two myself, and the one thing I noticed was how much clumping is in the boxes. I had one pack that had the same card in all three frames and multiple packs that had two-ofs or every other pack would have dupes in the rare/mythic slots. It’s worse than the second Forgotten Realms clumping issue, and that’s saying something.
Michael Howell
I just looked at the Foundations Jumpstart card list, and I’m actually surprised to see that they have some actual value for secondary, at the moment. I’m surprised at how popular the anime art cards are.
Savoy Chappell
Long time follower. Finally decided to get in on that patreon with just getting back into Magic. Hype to give you the money for the cardboards.
Stefano Agrotis
Snagged a Jumpstart box at the lgs for an even $100. Gonna Crack and play it. Definitely interested in case(a)
Rudy The Magic Guy
That is CORRECT...Commander products are fair game and can be reprinted at any time.
Brody Zitterkopf
I'm pretty sure they reprinted collector warhammer decks also. Mine have very different print dates on them.
Edward Seol
I am very interested!
Rafael Pina
Woooo I finally made it in! Big fan, love the content and the knowledge cant wait to get in on these deals! Learned a lot and look forward to keep learning about this hobby/industry
Jacob Empleo
By chance, is there anyone willing to split a Jumpstart case (since it's by case only)? I don't think I can afford a full case, but wouldn't mind a box or two from it. I should be good for that. I'm unsure if this is allowed, or how splitting/paying may work but thought maybe I could start a convo(? - Sorry new here). Either way if not, Thanks Rudy for what you do for your community!
Patrick Pesa
All hail Rudy's Evil Taco 🌮 emporium!
Paul Glozeris
Rudy posts a list on the 1st of the month. Look at a post from him back on November 2nd starting with '2024 November Payton list" with the instructions on how to pay.
Lyin Eyes
New Patron here...Dumb question. Where do I see what's for sale and how do I order?
Gabe Cunningham
Gotcha. I guess I’ll wait till the end of the week and see if there’s an update before reaching out.
Gerald Tarrant
Mine came in Monday, so he's likely shipped them all
Gabe Cunningham
Have Foundations Collectors shipped yet? Hadn’t received an update, was just curious. I know this time of year gets a little turbulent.
Pow!
That’s disappointing, those updates were pure gold!
Joshua Halstead
Always appreciate and enjoy the Rudy pricing. We’ve had many chats in our groups about the rising price of mtg. I feel like if it wasn’t for being a patreon some might be priced out of cardboard.
Rudy The Magic Guy
Yes, but crypto is required + extra shipping may not make it worth it due to the heavy weight
Rudy The Magic Guy
94% of patrons never even read it or opened the link
Rudy The Magic Guy
Not sure, that's going to be an instinct call
Rudy The Magic Guy
No...she went to "Camp Cupcake" which is more like an adult day care than a prison lol
Rudy The Magic Guy
That's a $200 savings on 1 item.......lol
Jonathan Bobal
Can I preorder 4 cases from you? Or Are you Planning to just buy 100% you can from distributors?
Ryan BEN
People hate on Rudy but the reason I stay here is that I get to have options of a good 116$ in play boxes instead of paying 150$ on them.
COUGAR
didnt martha stewart go to prison for this kind of information?
Matthew Turner
Would this be a wait for black friday tcg player deal? Or should I grab them sooner?

Thanks so much for sharing.
Morrie Low
Thanks Rudy, I heard some FUD about collector booster reprints from some other YT’ers and I wanted to hear your perspective. Appreciate the response.
Chas Manzi
Thank you I really appreciate your help :)

Thank you so much I really appreciate your help :)

It’s always pinned at the top of the feed. Titled “November 2024 Patron Products & Schedule.” As a $15 patron tier, you can order 1 case per month of anything he has listed on that post (weekly sales are completely separate and you can take part in all of those)
Aaron Ostergaard
Nope. Pizza.
Jaren Troxel
Amazing time to be a Rudy patron

Thank you Rudy!
Derek
This market is wild. And crypto hasnt even sold off yet. Rates havent hit a low yet. A lot of cash is still earning 4%. We havent seen anything yet IMO
Derek
I heard bloomburrow commander from a store i buy from on the west coast
Lain Fowle
Thanks Rudy! I pre-ordered one box of Jumpstart for $90, to crack and play with the family over the holidays. It's a very well designed product and is the "official" jumpstart 2025. Will definitely be getting a case from you! Loving this market!!!
Josh Cox
I really miss the mid month updates, I would love something like this to come back if possible.
Vinchenzo
Who else is eating tacos tonight!?
Ben Wirth
Much appreciated good sir!
Chas Manzi
Where do I go to buy that? Are there other items listed that I can buy at any time? Sorry I’m new to this.
Aaron
This will be the first pokemon set I'll be buying since Jungle so
Vinchenzo
You can buy $116 shipped starting dec 1st
Violent Ken
Thanks for the updates!!
Timothy White
Do you ship Pokémon internationally? I've yet to find a Canadian Rudy Clone, so for now I bite the soft shipping bullet to build my version of Notre Dame Cardboard Cathedral
Chas Manzi
When Rudy says he will add it to the list on December 1st, what does that mean?
Phil
Thanks for the update. Foundations is a very fun set in limited/draft. Those Jump Start packs are perfect for the new guys who crash game night and have no idea wtf they are doing. Will you run an additional sale for jumpstart or will they just get added to the monthly draft box list? Thanks Rudy!
Eldenbored
New here, pove the anime style cards in Jumpstart, you think any of them will retain value since the affordability of jumpstart is vastly better than a collector box and even a play box? Thanks all!
Christian Moreno
Thanks for the heads up rudy!
Rudy The Magic Guy
Pokemon Lost Origin ETB sale is coming up next.
Chas Manzi
Thanks Rudy you’re the fucking man!!
Robert C.
Thank you Creepy Rudy!
Rudy The Magic Guy
yea....im scared...
Craig Mckenzie
You’re a real one, and very appreciated. Much love from Texas :)
Aaron
Any info on the future Team Rocket set?
Gregory Brehm
It's taco tuesday! Cheers rudy and thank you for the heads up!!
Eric Schneider
Are you doing to be doing more Pokemon nights then?
Joey Santiago
Thanks for thr update Rudy
Rudy The Magic Guy
no matter what social media believes, wotc does NOT reprint collector boxes. BUT...they have done shady things in the past, like with Kamigawa Collectors they "held back a handful of pallets and shipped htem like 6 months after release" Besides that rare example, sorry i dont expect ANY additional colletor boxes on any set after release
PizzaPasta
This is what I’m curious about. This set is supposed to last for years. So have you heard if they will reprint collector boxes?
Rudy The Magic Guy
Wizards allowed Open order This morning for Pallets on Play / Jumpstart. You and many others wanted jumpstart, and i decided to place the order.
Mark Vitali
Dziękuję panu za tę informację.

David Milner
I asked and you said you would not be carrying Foundations Jumpstart. What changed?
Christopher Berkley
Greatly appreciate the thoughts. Do you think there will be another wave of Foundations collector boxes?
Frederick Mioduski
Awesome info. Thanks
Morrie Low
Rudy, any intel on Foundations Collector’s booster reprint? Do you think Wizards will print more?
Matthew Garrity
Much appreciated as always, ill end up doing 1 case.
Rudy The Magic Guy
sorry, i am not planning on selling older pokemon in volume at this time. With 2025 coming and the current market data coming in off the chart positive. Todays prices are a bargain. THis is why im telling you to buy today at any LGS or online.
Drew Guritzky
A thing to know about Pokemon and reprints. Usually TPCi (Pokemon) will let distributors know that a set is getting a reprint or more is coming within 18 months of the sets release. As long as they announce it before the 18 month window, it's fine (which is why some products come out after it, but are almost always announced by the end of the 18th month of release). This is a true statement in 99% of releases. SV1 is definitely outside of the window, and SV2 is about to be. I don't think Obsidian (SV3) will get anymore more boxes released, but the window for that set technically doesn't end until mid-February of 2025.
Damon Miller
I pray I look as good as Rudy when I’m his age..
