Foundations / Pokemon Update

I 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

SV02 - NO reprint scheduled, buy today at the $140's.

SV03 - (Obsidian Flame) final Reprint has arrived at distribution, The reprint is SMALL. Use this time to buy these boxes online at $130's range. This is the last opportunity before this set runs.

SV04 - NO reprint scheduled, buy today at the $120'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!

Rafael Bolivar

Thanks for the info Paul, I appreciate it. Robert.

Lyin Eyes

So excited you picked up Jumpstart!

Hayden Workman

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.

Michael Howell

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.

Savoy Chappell

Snagged a Jumpstart box at the lgs for an even $100. Gonna Crack and play it. Definitely interested in case(a)

Stefano Agrotis

That is CORRECT...Commander products are fair game and can be reprinted at any time.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I'm pretty sure they reprinted collector warhammer decks also. Mine have very different print dates on them.

Brody Zitterkopf

I am very interested!

Edward Seol

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

Rafael Pina

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!

Jacob Empleo

All hail Rudy's Evil Taco 🌮 emporium!

Patrick Pesa

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.

Paul Glozeris

New Patron here...Dumb question. Where do I see what's for sale and how do I order?

Lyin Eyes

Gotcha. I guess I’ll wait till the end of the week and see if there’s an update before reaching out.

Gabe Cunningham

Mine came in Monday, so he's likely shipped them all

Gerald Tarrant

Have Foundations Collectors shipped yet? Hadn’t received an update, was just curious. I know this time of year gets a little turbulent.

Gabe Cunningham

That’s disappointing, those updates were pure gold!

Pow!

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.

Joshua Halstead

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

Rudy The Magic Guy

Can I preorder 4 cases from you? Or Are you Planning to just buy 100% you can from distributors?

Jonathan Bobal

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.

Ryan BEN

didnt martha stewart go to prison for this kind of information?

COUGAR

Would this be a wait for black friday tcg player deal? Or should I grab them sooner?

Matthew Turner

And the king also "performs" free washing machine repairs for your gf/wife/sisters!

Kevin U Ryu

Thank you for looking out for us!!

Pork tacos 🌮

Jesse Hull

Thanks so much for sharing.

Rover Boy

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.

Morrie Low

Thank you I really appreciate your help :)

Chas Manzi

Thank you so much I really appreciate your help :)

Chas Manzi

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.

Aaron Ostergaard

Amazing time to be a Rudy patron

Jaren Troxel

Our King 👑

CowboyRibeye

Thank you Rudy!

Aaron

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

Derek

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!!!

Lain Fowle

I really miss the mid month updates, I would love something like this to come back if possible.

Josh Cox

Who else is eating tacos tonight!?

Vinchenzo

Much appreciated good sir!

Ben Wirth

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.

Chas Manzi

This will be the first pokemon set I'll be buying since Jungle so

Aaron

You can buy $116 shipped starting dec 1st

Vinchenzo

Thanks for the updates!!

Violent Ken

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

Timothy White

When Rudy says he will add it to the list on December 1st, what does that mean?

Chas Manzi

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!

Phil

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!

Eldenbored

Thanks for the heads up rudy!

Christian Moreno

Pokemon Lost Origin ETB sale is coming up next.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Thanks Rudy you’re the fucking man!!

Chas Manzi

Thank you Creepy Rudy!

Robert C.

yea....im scared...

Rudy The Magic Guy

You’re a real one, and very appreciated. Much love from Texas :)

Craig Mckenzie

Any info on the future Team Rocket set?

Aaron

It's taco tuesday! Cheers rudy and thank you for the heads up!!

Gregory Brehm

Are you doing to be doing more Pokemon nights then?

Eric Schneider

Thanks for thr update Rudy

Joey Santiago

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

Rudy The Magic Guy

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?

PizzaPasta

Wizards allowed Open order This morning for Pallets on Play / Jumpstart. You and many others wanted jumpstart, and i decided to place the order.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Dziękuję panu za tę informację.

Mark Vitali

Rudy The Magic Guy

I asked and you said you would not be carrying Foundations Jumpstart. What changed?

David Milner

Greatly appreciate the thoughts. Do you think there will be another wave of Foundations collector boxes?

Christopher Berkley

Awesome info. Thanks

Frederick Mioduski

Rudy, any intel on Foundations Collector’s booster reprint? Do you think Wizards will print more?

Morrie Low

Much appreciated as always, ill end up doing 1 case.

Matthew Garrity

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.

Rudy The Magic Guy

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.

Drew Guritzky

I pray I look as good as Rudy when I’m his age..

Damon Miller

Magic fans - "alright alright alright!" Pokemon fans - "uh oh"
