November 2018 Mid-Month Updates
Added 2018-11-18 23:05:23 +0000 UTCI am back and i will reply to every single private message in the next 24 hours from all my supporters.
I am expecting to have exact allocation numbers on Ultimate Masters this week. If all goes well i will give a 24 hour notice before the pre-orders open. I will have no problem beating all the ebay prices so i do expect to sell out. Details on quantity and price will be sent to everyone next week.
There will be a Black Friday sale sent to all the patrons privately on Thanksgiving night. There will NOT be a public video on it. It will include a variety of different boxes and items to choose from.
Final call on Masters 25/Iconic Masters, 2 weeks until i will keep the remainder of the product and move it to storage permanently.
Guilds of Ravnica is coming off allocation release period slowly now. Unfortunately the distributors offering large quantity to me want over $80.00+ a box, i declined and will wait a little bit more for the 76.00 range so i can hold the price at 79.99 for everyone.
I am still working on getting a large amount of regular Ixalan, with the Expected value now higher than Guilds of Ravnica, i have been having a tough time :-/
Due to the "surprise" product of Ultimate Masters coming during the holidays, i have delayed the Modern Masters 2015/Eternal Master Combo package
The Pre-Release Kit through time variety kit (Eldritch moon - to present) is still on track for the coming months :-)
A small new sub-series of videos are coming, where a couple patrons have volunteered for me to share there financial situation/investments and i will make a video being a financial advisor and giving recommendations for MTG and financial decision making. Of course leaving all names removed.
Lastly if you haven't noticed, Magic the Gathering as a whole is doing pretty good right now with all the new release items hitting strong numbers and distributor sales are very solid across the board. Similar to the Kaladesh Era and the Modern Masters 2017 Demand era.
While myself and most offers do NOT agree with the crazy price increases on Ultimate masters and future sets, it does not seem to be affecting the overall sales. Every store and every collector is still buying in the same quantities. Based on that information, i expect future box prices to continue higher. I thought many people would buy less boxes to adjust for the higher price point. This does not appear to be happening.

Hey Jeffery, I'd recommend get a box or two of Guilds of Ravnica, it is a very strong set and has a lot of really fun cards and combos to build with,
2018-11-23 20:26:53 +0000 UTCHello Rudy and fellow patrons! Just recently subscribed but have been watching your videos for about a year now, love your content. Very informative and entertaining. Just got back into MTG about 2 years ago, found some new friends to play with. Have a light "addiction" to opening booster boxes lol. Cant wait to buy some boxes.
2018-11-20 08:36:25 +0000 UTCHey rudy, just came back to playing magic after 15 years or so. I was going through some old magic cards (white border, unsure what block). Anyway, I was looking to purchase a box of something, perhaps for some standard play at FNM, from you to get back into the swing of things. Any suggestions? And thanks for the awesome content, been watching for about a year or so now.
2018-11-20 01:04:34 +0000 UTCno...prices will not crash, the price point is high at 332.00 msrp and it is a 1 wave and out of print item...it will stunt the growth and make the cards uninvestable...but the value will hold within a range

2018-11-20 00:35:47 +0000 UTCnope sorry, i am not able to get a large supply at this time :-/ might be another month unless a distributor runs a good black friday sale with that box listed

2018-11-20 00:34:56 +0000 UTCAny update on dominaria boxes Rudy?
2018-11-20 00:30:55 +0000 UTCRudy - Wotc reprinted every good card in Ultimate Masters. Will prices crash? Why bother buying singles at a high price when Wotc will just reprint it.

2018-11-19 01:50:08 +0000 UTCI did actually buy less due to the higher price point, but I'm not a major buyer of masters sets, though. Also, some info on Force of Will: If you want to get certain promos you can't get them through distributors. This is a copy of the message from the FOW Facebook group:
