 Just ordered 600 additional shirts of Large and Extra Large only


The anger and aggressiveness from a few people is disappointing.

25 patrons closed there account within 2 hours due to a specific size of shirt selling out to quickly.

I can feel and tell the difference in perspective and frustration all across the mtg world in 2020. I think it is truely a sign of the times and a reflection of the overall world in 2020.


This is going to breed tremendous opportunities for people who are able to stay focused on investing and work in the long term.


Just ordered 600 additional shirts of Large and Extra Large only.

WIll be here in 3 weeks, it if sells out to quick, i will do it again.


I havent disclosed the re-stock in a video yet, to give the patrons first shot at ordering.



Full mid-month update post coming tomorow night.

It is a long post with lots of information and my opinion on the mtg environment and the anxiety of the player base and economy as a whole.


Stay the course, be nice.

-Rudy

We just want too see the videos wearing the same tshirt as Rudy, btw I just got mine in the mail.

Yoyigo Tintor

Am I missing something? Are these tshirts made of solid gold? Why are people getting so butthurt over a damn tshirt? Of all the reasons for people to get up in arms I never thought a sold out tshirt would be one of them. I hope Rudy is making a killing on these shirts cause otherwise all this crap just ain't worth it.

You're also not restocking xxl which is what I want. Lame

Edwin

It may be super lame but you should know most of your patrons would want one and you put them on ebay. I missed the email and everything but small and xxxl is gone. Had you done it on here and limited it all your patrons would of had the chance. It seems it's super lame the way you decided to sell these especially considering how much we've been asking for them.

Edwin

I see where rudy is coming from because thats extra monthly subscription money being lost. But seriously its a magic channel and ud think theyd still be following because they support him and want cheep mtg boxes, or the random tcg drops like force of will and that. Hell i hardly buy from rudy but i like him and his channel, and once in a while i get things.

christopher Mazurek

Thank you for making sure us slow pokes get our shirts! Keep fighting the good fight Rudy!

Some people don't know how good they have it, I mean shirts? were I live sometimes you have a power shortage, sometimes you don't have running water or clean for that matter, access to credit? forget about it, street vendors are hurting because of the godzilla virus they don't have anyone to sell to, the price of food keeps going up, so having a psycho fit because you can't buy a shirt from a decent Taco Guy is a "bit" too much, this "I'm offended" crowd needs to have some self-awareness.

Happy early Father’s Day all! Most of us are lucky to be one and we all are thankful to have one! Thanks Rudy for all you do! Love always, enjoy life and stay the course!

TexasTed

BRO throw that shit in the cauldron!! Heat errrr up!! Lol

Jonathan Morris

Awesome comment hahaha

Jonathan Morris

Wow, thank you for being reasonable in the face of sheer petulance. You're awesome and I super enjoy supporting your channel and store.

Nikki W

Lol extra large neck beards

Eh, I was pissed about missing out on the L & XL but figured it meant that you would just order more. People can be so fickle, sometimes. Thanks for the restock, will order an XL for me and a ladies shirt on the restock.

Reed Stiles

Any chance of a restock of M?

LOL

Rudy, it is disappointing but honestly those people are not the right fit. You have people lined up to take their place. I have been a Member now for only 6 months but what I have seen is that you go the extra mile to accommodate the members when a popular item is in demand (of course depending on availability). Multiple times you made product available after it sold out quickly. Closing the account over anger of not getting a shirt that your were proudly going to wear just see ironic.

BrewCrew75

2020 sure is a crazy year. dont feel bad about those patrons rudy. not your fault

Most of us appreciate everything you do. Don't let a few ruin your day. Stay the course.

Hi Rudy, Do you suspect that you may allow shirts to be purchased through your normal method? I only ask because that one time I used Ebay to purchase the Uber Ultra Timmy Edition through Wizards initiatived a flag and I have never been comfortable with Ebay since.

Red Comet

Finally, some advantage to being a fat-boy..... my size was on hand and just waiting for me! lol....

Steven Keith

Can’t believe some people are closing their accounts over shirt. Really? Shirts?

Well they were such supporters of you that they unsubscribed when they couldn't buy a t-shirt to show they support you. ROFL

Rudy that's what happens when you fail to order Timmy sized shirts, Its Ikoria all over again ;)

Ill buy 3x even tho im a medium and sleep in it.

They did not stay the course

Irony: "25 patrons closed there account within 2 hours due to a specific size of [Stay the Course] shirt selling out to quickly" I barely missed my chance. Thank you for the restock!

Barry Drake

Thanks Rudy! I appreciate you doing this for your patreon people when you didn't have to! :-)

Keep doing you Rudy. Can’t wait to get my shirt.

Wait...people cancelled their subscriptions over shirts? #Realworldproblems

Thanks Rudy, you da man!

Thank god im a large individual and woke up this morning (3am) and still had a chance to purchase a 3xl. :-) questioning myself if I should have bought two or not though.

Philip Aldrich

You are 100% percent correct on the nastiness. I manage a meat department and have been seeing lots of it since this started. Thanks for all you do Rudy!!!

Jeremy Kennedy

Pls keep in mind the time shift on other continents Rudy. Or can I call dibs on 1 XL before it sells out again while I am sleeping? ;)

SJ

Better chance for me to grab good deals before they sell out, see ya suckers

Hiccup

So when do we get to order from the restock of L and XL sizes? Just so I can set a reminder to grab one.

Rudy, starting to diversify into apparel / fashion? lol

So... These 25 people are so passionate about Alpha Investments that they ABSOLUTELY MUST have a T-shirt. But, they also are so unattached to Alpha Investments that not getting their size will cause them to abandon it forever. Just seems like contradictory behavior. I guess the moral of the story is: some people are just going to be mad no matter what, all we can do is stay the course!

Sekaiichi Mukanshin

I want one. Preorder XL for me and L for the wife!

Prabal Singh

4th of July fireworks already going off in here LOL

Prabal Singh

Unless I am misunderstanding, I think he is using Ebay to keep from over selling... understandable after recent unspeakable events. 🌮🌮🌮 He can't set an inventory/limit on sales otherwise.

Oh man! Over a shirt? People are losing it in this climate.

Haters gonna hate uncle rudy

Mattf

Stay the course! I like that shirt. I hope that guy who was counting down the days got one.

Jesse Marlow

Thanks for ordering extras Rudy!

People have truly lost their minds. It’s hard to fathom that the ability to buy a t-shirt is that important to people. There has been a complete loss of perspective in this country and there is way too much anger and pettiness.

Stephen Ferguson

I think we should do a "Beta Investments 2020 Cancel the Course!" shirt to commemorate this tragic loss.

Can't make everybody happy.

Sheesh! There are a lot of idiots in this world.

Jim Volin

I actually wonder.... Is he going to accept new patrons in their place? Or close those slots?

David Brosseau

I mean.... #RealTalk for a second. That's exactly the problem. They probably *are* still children in their outlook. We live in an era where people increasingly do not grow up. As a father of six kids, I can also attest to it being childish behavior. And the issue is, it's because no one ever *made* them grow up. My parents were a bit old school in a lot of ways, so I have a different outlook than even many of my peers (early 30s). It's actually why I like Rudy so much, because he also holds to less common ideals. I do not intend, as much as it's within my control, to allow my kids to grow up with those childish mentalities. Because yeah.... then how are they going to handle life?

David Brosseau

What about pre orders with sizes? Maybe that will help knowing who wants what. Also fuck those guys. Straight up if that was the linchpin on staying they are a little bitch and duces ✌️

People closing accounts..... over.... shirts?? what the fuck? lol

BennyMcSeoul

More tacos for the rest of us then!

The best part? They can never reopen their account now that Rudy has closed them!! #WeedingOutTheChaff

David Brosseau

Hahahah...you don't need them bro if they are that immature. Geez But I get what you mean...immature investors.

1 dollar a month 4 lyfe Timmy patron here to ensure you my support will not be tarnished by lack of t shirts... staying the course

Punlive

Thanks Rudy we appreciate all that you do.

People closing accounts over a shirt. Damn.

Disappointing to hear. But good riddance I say

Gojira

But people have gotten super petty...curious when someone will say the lack of shirts is racist 🥴

I ordered from an account that's not my patreon account lol hope that doesnt mess with things too bad.

Wow.....some people you know. It isn't that big of a deal you know..also I am poor.

Violent Ken

Good thing I’m a woman who just got the female shirt!! 😂🤓

Good thing I ain't that small am I right? 😅..their loss tho.

Crazy world we're living in right now. Never let anyone's else's actions affect your own. You do you Rudy and just sit back and watch the world burn 😁

NooNNiTe

Rudy keep on keeping on. Thats crazy people would close their accounts because of shirt sizes. I guess they dont realize once they cancel them they cant come back... fine by me.

Chris Datu

Are these shirts made of gold???

Davy

Wow, don't get discouraged man. Some people have no patience. I actually ordered some theros recently knowing full well that my order would be delayed for a bit, and that's perfectly fine with me. 2 flippin hours because of shirts!?! That's little ridiculous and borderline obsessive and that's coming from somone who adores mtg and other collectibles to the point it makes others cringe and questions my behavior.

I can't believe Rudy sold a 1000 shirts in like an hour. And of course I bought one! The world is getting weird, and Rudy is turning pro!

Rudy you do a lot for us. Thanks.

Big loss to the 25 people who couldn't be patient

KJ

I figured you'd restock way sooner than 2021, especially if you wanted us to really stay the course :D I was nice, just probably under estimated how many taco timmys there are.

I hope the guy posting YouTube comments got one ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow I can't believe people are cancelling cuz a shirt sold out. lmao.

Ryan Shaw

Managed to snag a large, but that's too bad people are so riled up. I think you're right, 2020 has been hard on everybody

Well just for that negativity I’m gonna put in an order now for some boxes.

Sorry people are such jerks. I appreciate you and the content you bring us. Thanks for being awesome.

To be that angry over a shirt....

Ryan Butcher

I just got an XXXL instead, will be like having a Rudy tent ⛺️ Will get a Large on the next round, or maybe the next, or the next. Print to demand Rudy 😎

Michael C

Rudy.... the neck beards are going to revolt the small sizes

Mr. Batsquatch

Lol noobs. 25 people seems like a to be so mad about some shirts but ok then.

Lol all 15$ patrons too, can one of you 20$ ones please leave so I can take the slot, thanks !

Some people just like to be upset or want a reason to throw a fit. The rest of us here will staying the course and see what else you have in store for us!

Hi Rudy, Im a new patron and just wanted you to know that I think youre a great guy and happy to support someone like you. If one day I have to drop my patron pledge it will purely be because I cant afford it, certanly not over a shirt size. Dont let them get you down.

Keep your head up bud, some people are just assholes.

So what you’re saying Rudy is there’s 25 more slots for sale?

Jack

I guess they couldnt...."stay the course"......ill leave forever

Wantedra

Awesome thanks Rudy....

Philip Chiu

Thanks Rudy

Bye bye Felicia

Jack

I was watching for this and missed out. I was hoping to get a Medium. I hope you do some other sizes. Sorry, some people were shitty. You clearly do the right thing for your customers. I hope you know that other people see what you do and appreciate it.

Happy patron here. Got mine but if I didn't I wouldn't start throwing tacos about it.

Zach Allen-Stanaland

Just ordered mine. No more than 10 minutes go by and I have a shipping update. Convinced Rudy Doesn't rest.

Honestly it's their loss. Some people are frugal about some things. If anyone should be heated it should be me about WOTC. I'm still waiting on my STARGAZING Lairs omg. Haven't even received shipping confirmation yet. Thank goodness I wasn't holding my breath. LMAO I woulda passed out by now

More opportunity for the rest of us!

People like that are laugh worthy.

PKKite

Can we preorder these? They will be a contested item for sure. Unless you want a Gatorland style feel to the ordering process.😉👉👍

Staying the course! With or without the T-shirt

I’m staying the course while driving with one hand and eating a taco in another

Carl

Did I miss out again.....already lol it says sold out

Jerry Ogren

Inconceivable!

They don’t deserve the Taco

Eric Tracy-Cohen

Lmao imagine missing out on cheap AF boxes because you can't get a t-shirt. Timmy's gonna Timmy I guess.

Im staying the course....without a shirt until the restock...lol.. Second to offering the shirts to patrons first instead of eBay, though....

Man we are talking about a T-shirt. Should be buy the hype and resell the shirt ;)

Bryan Quan

We love you Rudy, truly <3

Joey Morsi

Glad to see the reorder. I'm sorry you had to deal with people being unreasonable. When I saw it just felt like a bummer at a chance missed. Not sure why people get their knickers in a twist.

Thingymabob

Thanks Rudy! You are awesome! Don’t let the petty people ruin your day! You are the taco king and we stand with you!

Eric Tracy-Cohen

But only L and XL :P

Yoyigo Tintor

hahah i almost spit my whiskey

Prabal Singh

"Rudy ruined my Alpha investment shirt spec" - Tommorow on r/mtgfinance

We need a I stayed the course shirt next

Stay the Rudy.

Aaron

if people leave because of that, well then they are not seeing the big picture. Being a patron of yours and getting sealed product at the prices you offer, IS THE BEST DEAL IN MTG! Thanks, Rudy

Llanowar Shelves

Thanks man! Really appreciate it.

Christopher Walsh

I jumped on as soon as I saw your post because I know your patrons are like a school of piranhas...if I want something you're going to offer I know I have to be on it and if I miss out that's not your fault. Stay the course Rudy, thanks for all you do

If some patrons leave it’s just more room for new blood to get into the Patreon

Jordany

Maybe these tiny people should just hit the gym, eat 100 oz of steak a day and get swoll. Use it an an incentive to not be a weenie

You have way more supporters than anything else, stay the course! You’re doing great!

Nick Gnezda

Alpha T-shirt’s are the new Toilet Paper I guess. So tired of the freak out/outage culture.

PizzaPasta

Hey Rudy if you don't have a 50XL size I might just leave too :(

At this point just add the shirt to the reserve list lol

I'm sorry that people have become so petty as to close their accounts over a tshirt. If they're too impatient to wait on getting a tshirt, maybe they don't have the character traits necessarily to invest for the long haul. Their loss. Stay the course, Rudy!

I accidentally bought an xxxl Shit happens. I'm just going to have a giant shirt to wear when I want to look extra fucking magic the gathering ish

Over shirts? Seriously? How do these people handle life? They sound like my children throwing a fit. Just being honest.

Ugg first the drop in commander 2020 now the shirts! #cancelrudy :)

Firecrest

Yea! More Shirts for us Skinnys!!!!

Stay the course big hoss. I suspect that if someone closes a patreon account over a T-shirt, there are other problems at play.

Scott Pysher

Thank you for Staying the Course Rudy.

Well, i had a 2XL in my cart but by the time I filled out my payment info they were sold out. Disappointed

Yup I missed it. I'll have to wait for the restock

Their loss.

Just placed my order

Alex

Well slap their tacos with double meat.

Shrug...some people are just tired of missing out on sales. Sadly alot of people still wanted Ikora collectors and didnt get them and then the same thing happens with shirts. Not blaming them for ending their patronage.

Matthew Berndt

Shirts are not on the reserve list. Nice response Rudy. Everyone stay calm.

Jonathan S

I didn't get MY SHIRT! RAAAGGGGE! Lol what is wrong with peoole? Just unreal. Rudy you are the man. Those fools are going to regret leaving and cry that they want to come back for your amazing deals and what not. Boo hoo on them. #We'reWithRudy

I appreciate it Rudy, stay the course buddy

People closing their account because of a shirt is like the opposite of "Stay the Course".

Thank you Rudy!

I find it odd that the people who would act that way are even trying to buy shirts supporting you in the first place.

I am confused, some people were not able to get a shirt that says "stay the course " so they decided to then leave and NOT stay the course......perhaps this shirt wasn't meant for them in the first place.

MissBeefy

Less whining you have to deal with in the future, so there's that bright side!

Mike Mags

Unbelievable how people have been acting the last few months

Can you offer it to the Patreons versus ebay? Everytime I tried to access ebay, I would always get the message "No Results Found"

Got my XXL, thanks Rudy 👍👍👍👍

Bless their extra large hearts...

There’s absolutely no call for aggression from people. Typically people under duress make quick hasty decisions out of anger. People should take a minute to look within before lashing out.

We dont need them anyways! They cant stay the course!

Blake Phillips

I just want to take a moment to say how spot on you are Rudy about people staying focused through these times...In ways I can’t explain you have changed my life in a tremendous way. Thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️

Closed their patreon due to a ai shirt being out of stock... 🤦‍♀️ Seems like the last place I'd go with the specific intent of a shirt

Imagine being such a Timmy you get mad about a shirt size. I ordered 2 2XLs cause I just wanted to support papa Rudy

Garrett Boldt

Humans are weird

Fasty

Stay the course

Really it’s just a shirt.

I wanted an xl but it sold out so I bought 2x instead. Can I get one of those xls please?

Julian Quinonez

That’s shitty to hear Rudy but I guess you’re used to dealing with people like that. You’ll always have those people who are just about now now now.

Gold

How dare a one man show not have an infinite amount of all sizes. Hang in there Rudy! 💪🔥

People closing their accounts over tee shirts. Lol what a joke.

michael j

Some people just need a good slap in the face with a taco.

Come on guys...... smh

Jonathan Morris

I’m trying to imagine people rage quitting their subscription over a tshirt selling out. Actually laughing out loud.

closing a patreon account over a tshirt??? what???

Koda

Good guy Rudy <3

Brian

Hey, thanks for restocking. Really appreciated. :)

Sorry people suck Rudy. You rock.

Joel Jimenez

I am sorry you have to put up with such nonsense.

Robert Magee

Wow some people man!

Thanks for the update Rudy!

Daniel Le

They just couldn't handle the taco. Thanks Rudy

STAY THE GOSH DARN COURSE

Israel Solis

Thank you! I missed the large shirt sale haha

Stay the course, Rudy.
