PLEASE READ - MTG - Assassin's Creed Patron Sale
🕑 Added 2024-06-19 04:18:29 +0000 UTCYou guys have blown me up with messages tonight about Assassin's Creed Boxes + Collector Boxes.
Before we get into the details...here is a small story about life and whats about to happen.
~Tiny Rudy Story ~
in 2007-2012, i was a Merrill Lynch Stock Broker. It was such a bad time with the world crashing/collapsing from the crash of 2008, myself and the other brokers used to walk out to a small bridge across the companies Campus and sit by the water and eat lunch.
We would look for the most ridiculus youtube music videos to have fun since every single client would call to sell everything...all day...every day. Nothing positive ever happened.
It was a life of negativity and no one ever saw anything POSITIVE in the future.
We would act like idiots and play songs like this, i was very young and dumb...

The company we were working for was collapsing...and we were buying into the S&P500 every day as she dropped endlessly and headed to ZERO.
I would go home and buy PSA 10 Alpha cards on ebay for $50.
I would buy sealed boxes of Urzas Legacy for $300
I would buy sealed boxes of Revised for $700
The S&P500 was hit a low of 666...and never looked back.
To this day most people missed out and we were placing 1,000's of sell orders on that very day.
I truely believe that time period changed me permanetly and how i handle life, sometimes its a negative and haunts me.
You ALWAYS - STAY THE COURSE
Most people are WRONG.
End of Story
Back to reality
Fast forward to 2024.........
As discussed on youtube, i expected most stores to UNDER ORDER and "reject" the Assassins Creed specialty Magic set coming up in a couple weeks.
This is due to the FEAR of another Aftermath/Epilogue small set release and collapse.
This is 2024...and thats not going to happen and stores nationwide did not order much at all.
THIS PRODUCT HAS A TIGHT PRINT RUN SIMLIAR TO MH3 COLLECTORS
I BET HARD ON ASSASSINS CREED AND WENT FOR MAXIMUM QUANTITIES.
I stand by my opinion that Wotc cant take chances when it comes to handling other companies brands. Universes beyond sets have a 100% success track record as of right now.
The details were revealed today and now stores/public are freaking out due to the quality of the product and the mistake of under-ordering.
I encourage anyone to take a few minutes and check out the press release with all the details
https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/collecting-assassins-creed
I expected wotc to insert some Commander/modern hits to stablize the secondary market value.
I did NOT expect very UNIQUE language HISTORY FIGURE cards inserted.
I did NOT expect them to be serialized.
These will be highly desirable and carry good premiums.
It is important to stay the course...and moments like this are good reminders.
"Epilogue/Aftermath" mistakes happen in life....but you can NOT use that as justification to change future behavior and decisions.
Always go by the data and long term trend, do not let fear guide you in life.
Life is short and it is ok to be wrong and fail and to learn.
But regret lasts forver.
Thanks again,
The Rudy Patron army is the reason we are running strong after 9+ years now.

You stole my whole college playlist!

The serialized cards were spoiled quite a while ago ... it's not really new information. The problem this set has is the exact same issue that Aftermath had - it's a tiny set which means opening even a single box results in a ton of duplication. Universes Beyond or not - this is just poor set design from WoTC.
Jordan
Wtf did I just watch 🫡
Platnum
My only hope is that you’ll have the boxes available in single quantities. I hate not buying from the LGS that I have, but your prices are often either too hard to beat or out of my range due to high quantities offered. I’m not gonna gripe or leave of there aren’t, it’s just a hope I’ve expressed before and until told otherwise, would like to continue to remain heard. Much love and thanks

Good Story. Long time YT viewer, diamond hands on the bit of RL I bought pre-covid through the upticks and MAD DASH CRASH Just purchased my first two $89 Draft boxes yesterday. Streets of Barry Mandalow & Lost Caverns of my Empty Wallet. I am learning that this isn't an immediate "Get Rich Quick" but rather a marathon, and it doesn't matter if I'm 1st, 2nd, 3rd or even last, as long as I make it past the finish line. S T A Y T H E C O U R S E -Timmy

I am broke now from all these releases, and planned to skip this set. Wow, these cards are sick! I may have to just do singles this time.
Scott Pysher
Can I get it with serialized cotton balls off of Amazon though?
James Fuller
Requiescat en pace bear market
Justin Ball
This information has been available for weeks on the language cards. They were spoiled very early with this set.
