Flesh and Blood - Market Information
Added 2020-12-14 03:15:21 +0000 UTCI felt this is an important message based on market conditions and deserved its own post this month.
A wealthy individual in NY struck a deal with ChannelFireball and bought out the Welcome to Rathe boxes. It is rumored the deal was over $300k+ with rights and options to purchase additional in other sets within a specific time frame.
If you are in possession of any 1st edition Booster boxes of Flesh and Blood
1. Welcome to Rathe $1,800+ a box
2. Arcane Rising - $800+ a box
3. Crucible of War - $200+ a box
I highly recomend you keep your box sealed and do not open it.
Most patrons and people in possession of these boxes sold way to early when the prices started to increase. This caused the market to dry up faster than normal and many sellers with regrets.
Extreme growth and demand is causing massive record shattering price increases on the seconday market.
A couple patrons sold all 4 variety kits from last year and cleared $15,000 in profit :-o
I will be making another video covering this craziness next week.
With the collectible world continuing to evolve and become more mainstream, i do epect MTG/Pokemon/FaB to continue to dominate in 2021.
I think all 3 hobbies are positioned perfectly for a post 2020/covid world.
Inflation and Wealth inequality continue to be my #1 concern in the financial markets.
Sorry i do not have any WTR/ARC/CRU boxes for sale or in stock, but hope to get more for Janurary 2021.

How do I get on the email list for when FaB goes up for sale?

2021-01-02 06:46:49 +0000 UTCThanks for the tip Rudy, I was able to get another 2 boxes of CoW for $170 CDN :)

2020-12-18 04:21:10 +0000 UTCCard kingdom is now carrying FAB.
2020-12-16 23:44:57 +0000 UTCAmazing... I don't know, I'm old and jaded, if everyone did what they said they were going to do and ran businesses like Rudy I would be very warry and even paralyzed. I've owned my own business I continue to invest in a wide array of businesses. Often I make the most money on very dishonest, old businesses that know how to play the game of making more money; that being said I don't mind buying defense contractors but I would never buy clothing manufactures that use slaves, got to draw the line.

2020-12-16 14:16:43 +0000 UTCIf only everyone was as honest and straight forward as Rudy. Man, how the world would be an amazing place.

2020-12-15 22:51:00 +0000 UTCIs there a video on this? I can’t find it on YouTube...
2020-12-15 19:03:01 +0000 UTCI think that anything endorsed by Rudy has the possibility of getting a bigger push than another new game on the market. How many people will have heard of the game if not for his YouTube videos? I know as a newer Patreon I would not have

2020-12-15 16:02:28 +0000 UTCI love this game guys, playing as much as possible. Ya who knows where everything will land. Im just getting my mini position built on new first edition stuff as it comes out. Once shit gets above the old 500 dollar mark Im out. When monarch drops there is plenty of places to get boxes well below 100 bucks for first edition products if you act quickly and pay attention. I do feel that monarch and all future sets will dramatically increase in value for sealed product. Of course they wont go ham like the first 2 sets but they will earn an over 100% return fairly quickly. As long as everything doesnt go to 0.
2020-12-15 05:59:50 +0000 UTCit's a very fun game! . I have 40 members in the Seattle facebook group
2020-12-15 04:45:55 +0000 UTCI’m curious whoever sold this listing if they are a Patreon here can comment if they actually got payment or was it just someone playing a mean joke.
Gold
2020-12-15 04:23:31 +0000 UTCand who plays this game again?
2020-12-15 03:29:04 +0000 UTCHoly cow... that's insane. The FOMO is real.
2020-12-15 03:16:39 +0000 UTCThere are now sold listings on eBay for $2500 and $2800 dollars. Wow.
2020-12-15 02:15:47 +0000 UTCI still have my arcane rising boxes just because I was too lazy to sell them 2 weeks ago
2020-12-14 23:42:15 +0000 UTCIt’s a scary idea for something build this quickly because it could rebound just as hard. Is it possible that the investor has bought the boxes for CFB to consign for him and he’s doubling the value or is CFB selling their remaining stock now at a higher premium because of the market deficit? Everything this year has surprised me
Eric D
2020-12-14 22:56:21 +0000 UTCAll 1st edition will, reprints or unlimited won’t. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Michael Berlin
2020-12-14 21:29:05 +0000 UTCWill monarch have 1st edition and cold foil printings?
Joanacris Marie Ballesta
2020-12-14 21:14:48 +0000 UTCI still think it’s very strange how the prices have shot up as they have... I understand when things get old and rare like old MtG and there is a 25 year history where nostalgia is a very powerful force. There has to be MASSIVE market manipulation in order for this to happen. FAB alpha is rare to a degree, but where is the cult following, the nostalgia. My suspicion is most people buy it and are just sitting on it and not even playing the game (myself included). The big question is where will the hype train lead and for how long? Sorry for the rant, but it all seems suspicious, kind of like the very beginning of crypto currency. We all have seen where that went, but where is the intrinsic value of FAB?
Brandon Nolte
2020-12-14 19:41:03 +0000 UTCAs others mentioned, this a heck of a thing to wake up to. The feeding frenzy has started again and it's getting hard to hold on to boxes haha.
2020-12-14 18:12:52 +0000 UTCAlpha prints haven’t been 350 for a while. I bought a sealed box 2 weeks ago for 775 on eBay.
Adam Wilson
2020-12-14 17:36:12 +0000 UTCJust bout 3 for 350 so thats ofd 1800... might be a scam
Nick Miguet
2020-12-14 17:18:23 +0000 UTCThis is the reason I don't think it will. It always might, but when this many people see how easy it is to get a 2000% return in a year, it significantly alters behavior. Legend Story could probably 100x the print run of Monarch and still have it all disappear right away. I'm not saying it's gonna be Fallen Empires or anything (unless they decide to also make it suck), but...
Andrew Shelansky
2020-12-14 17:12:38 +0000 UTCCFB has had them on EBay for the last couple months for $899 til now. I can’t find them on EBay anymore hmmm. Still on their website for $1750. I’m wondering what changed in the last week to make them double in price. What am I missing?
2020-12-14 15:56:05 +0000 UTCSo CFB has 10 Welcome to Rathe alpha boxes listed this morning at $1,780. This all sounds like and appears to be a misinformation campaign to manipulate the market.
Robert Goldthorpe
2020-12-14 14:18:55 +0000 UTCHell of a thing to wake up to.
Caleb P
2020-12-14 13:10:05 +0000 UTCMakes me wish I didn't crack open my CoW case. It's a tough decision as a player though. Who knows when unlimited will actually drop. Having said that, I plan on keeping 5 sealed cases of Monarch! Hopefully the trend will continue.
2020-12-14 12:52:44 +0000 UTCRudy the fortune teller...should have listened last year :D
2020-12-14 12:45:45 +0000 UTCI have two sealed alpha printings of Welcome to Rathe booster boxes. Sent you an email earlier this week. I think this bit of information has helped me make a decision.
Scott Pysher
2020-12-14 10:37:21 +0000 UTCCrazy! LoL missed the boat
2020-12-14 10:18:52 +0000 UTCI was going to ask about CoW and why it has shot up considering it is still in print. This does seem a bit crazy. I sold 4 WTR for about $3550 total. This paid for all my F&B to date. Still sitting on 8 WTR, 19 ACR, and 12 CoW. Man it is hard to hold onto those WTR boxes but at this point it is all profit for me so might as well see what happens.
BrewCrew75
2020-12-14 09:45:18 +0000 UTCTheres a few left if anyone's interested. Price doesn't include shipping from New Zealand (which wasnt terrible considering my order) and I'm completely taking a gamble on the seller but they seem legit.
2020-12-14 07:47:47 +0000 UTCJust picked up a few more crucible 1st edition boxes for 175. I hope they keep going up.
2020-12-14 07:45:06 +0000 UTCEh, you made roughly a 1000% return in 14 months, you can't be too unhappy with that
Andrew Shelansky
2020-12-14 06:20:03 +0000 UTCI bought my boxes to open and play, so I didn't bother to hassle Rudy when my boxes came a little dinged up -- one with a crease and another with a small tear in the plastic wrap. I mean, I was gonna crack 'em anyway. Then, because 2020 means friends barely exist, I never ended up opening them. Now I'm regretting not begging for a replacement. Ah well
Andrew Shelansky
2020-12-14 06:18:32 +0000 UTCProbably good to lock in some gains rather than wait and watch a bubble pop though. Hard to tell the difference sometimes. Just don't sell everything.
2020-12-14 05:55:54 +0000 UTCWell I’m upset I just sold 2 cases last week 3700 a pop
Michael Berlin
2020-12-14 04:55:06 +0000 UTCI'm in the bay area and have been holding mine exclusively to sell for just that
2020-12-14 04:41:38 +0000 UTCSame here. Wondering if/when/how to get off 2 WTR boxes and lose the other 4 to find in 10~ years or so.
Matthew Boe
2020-12-14 04:39:13 +0000 UTCI had 6 boxes. Sold 2 at $999 to lock in thos profits. have 4 left. 😁💪and I'm sitting on 6 arcane rising alphas. Yessssss
2020-12-14 04:30:17 +0000 UTCNo, more product is on it's way. https://fabtcg.com/articles/crucible-war-delays/
Carlos Malave Solares
2020-12-14 04:26:28 +0000 UTCIs Crucible of War officially out of print? Was Channelfireball’s stock the last reprint?
Brittany Kcar
2020-12-14 04:18:09 +0000 UTCI sold my legendarys and my heart and was able to put together a down payment and closing costs for my first house here in Northern California.
2020-12-14 04:00:03 +0000 UTCi only bought 3 boxes at the 188 mark. because ebay had 5% ebay bucks going on. i should have bought more lol.
michael j
2020-12-14 03:58:41 +0000 UTCHoly shit. I still have 2 of the Alpha Rathes sealed. Yay!
Joe Knight
2020-12-14 03:55:03 +0000 UTCOriginally I bought kits to open and play with. Then the world got crazy and all my kits sat on the shelf for some free time. now they are worth so many multiples more I don't think I could stomach opening them since unlimited is out. It is amazing to see the market has the financial means to absorb all these boxes at this scale. At the same time I am also scared for the market as this cannot be sustainable at this growth rate.
2020-12-14 03:53:51 +0000 UTCJust unlimited for me 😢😢 got in a little to late
2020-12-14 03:45:28 +0000 UTCDamn, wishing I'd bought more Crucible of War. Doubled in price over the past week!
MTG Unpacked
2020-12-14 03:43:52 +0000 UTCcru boxes are now near 300 a box on eBay crazy
michael j
2020-12-14 03:40:40 +0000 UTCI havent sold anything and still have rudy kits in the boxes they shipped in with all promos and accessories lol curious what a rudy kit will be worth in 2040
2020-12-14 03:39:24 +0000 UTCSold the Alpha collection (1x of each box + the hero deck box sealed) for $3k... Thanks Rudy!!!
Jeremy Orbach
2020-12-14 03:37:23 +0000 UTCArc was around 450 and Crucible was around 118 I saw Rudy's video then went to work and they shot up instantly lol. Should have bought just one more or two.
2020-12-14 03:36:11 +0000 UTCHey Rudy so you know, I'm still sitting on 3 Welcome to Rathe, 6 Arcane Rising and 7 Crucible of Wars. All bought at entry market price. I plan on keeping them and playing with the Unlimited prints. Thank you for the awesome sales Rudy!
Phillip Graham
2020-12-14 03:32:17 +0000 UTCI still have 2 Arcane boxes, and 6 Crucibles. I think I'll hold onto them for a bit longer.
Phillip Cross
2020-12-14 03:31:11 +0000 UTCHmm. I sold 6 arcane rising for $400 each needing the cash a while back.. Still have 4 sealed and don't need the money, could light them on fire for all it matters, I already made all the money I spent on FaB back and then some.
2020-12-14 03:30:37 +0000 UTCI'm so stoked I still have all of my kids from Rudy sealed
nathan barthels
2020-12-14 03:28:23 +0000 UTCI've been eyeing to potentially sell my WTR and AC alpha boxes (and starter brick). The rise in prices are scaring the crap out of me due to the game being so new and has the chance to sink quickly.
2020-12-14 03:27:50 +0000 UTCHigh Risk is where money is made and lost
Matthew McCrae
2020-12-14 03:26:39 +0000 UTCit should say on the box alpha print on one of the sides
2020-12-14 03:25:58 +0000 UTCRudy is a contrarian so he heard people were leaving New York so he moved in. Jacksonville becoming too mainstream.
2020-12-14 03:25:43 +0000 UTCIf you noticed all the sealed starter bricks just got bought up on ebay today. Seems like the days of sub $400 for a starter brick are gone
Matthew McCrae
2020-12-14 03:25:43 +0000 UTCSo uh, how do you find out if your Arcane Rising boxes are first edition? Asking for a friend.
2020-12-14 03:25:19 +0000 UTCAhem English is hard sorry lol ‘us for’ and ‘I truly’ ‘scalp us’ and I mean this with no malice he has a business to run.
2020-12-14 03:25:18 +0000 UTCwowee
2020-12-14 03:25:10 +0000 UTCI have much Ragrets about not getting in on any of this early.
Ryan L
2020-12-14 03:23:59 +0000 UTCJust sold my last WTR box for $1500, and four of my ARC boxes for $450 each.
Phillip Cross
2020-12-14 03:23:14 +0000 UTCWhat I’m really scared of now is...how much Rudy is going to be selling 1st edition Monarch to use for :(...I tuely hope he doesn’t try and scalp up.
2020-12-14 03:23:12 +0000 UTCRUDY!! Aside from cornering the market on WTR, what were you doing in NY :) ??
Michael C
2020-12-14 03:22:47 +0000 UTCI know right?!?! Feels like a bubble incoming. Never seen this shit for a game that’s barely a year old.
Quang Tran
2020-12-14 03:22:16 +0000 UTCI kept the the three alpha intro cases from the beginning of the year from Rudy. It was well worth the hold .
James Moreno
2020-12-14 03:22:10 +0000 UTCThis kind of growth this fast in Flesh and Blood is awesome and also scares the crap outta me, lol
Matthew Duncan
2020-12-14 03:21:08 +0000 UTCLots of FOMO here if the game doesn’t take off we are looking at bag holders...not hating here. I have kept some sealed boxes myself just be careful folks
2020-12-14 03:21:04 +0000 UTCI still have 1 WtR and 2 Arcane 1st edition. Feeling good about keeping those sealed.
2020-12-14 03:19:39 +0000 UTCWoah. I thought I made a good profit at $850 each for four of my six...
Brandon Nolte
2020-12-14 03:19:32 +0000 UTCOver the last few days. I seen cru boxes go from 120 a box to around 180. People are buying them all up quick.

2020-12-14 03:18:16 +0000 UTCGood looking out 👍
Kevin Misiuda
2020-12-14 03:17:39 +0000 UTCNever been more happy that I didn’t have anyone to play FaB with so all my boxes stayed sealed.
2020-12-14 03:17:24 +0000 UTCThanks Rudy!
