Ultimate Masters Boxes

As of right now, very little information is available even with distributors. 

I talked with 2 distributors today, i literally could not get a hold of the others, phone lines constantly busy.

1 distributor stated, no discounts, no volume discounts, price will be over $200.00+ we dont care if you buy it.

The other distributor said they are waiting for the full reveal and watching the secondary market to see where it stabilizes.

Soooo....as of now...as long as i can get at least 100-200+ boxes i WILL offer it to patrons cheaper than whatever the secondary market price is at the time. I have no idea what the price will be and i have no idea what my cost will be at this time.

After the initial wave is sold, if i can get more, i will sell at the same price, whether the market goes up or down.

That is all i have at this time, i personally think the print run will be the same as Modern masters 2017 not as large as iconic masters.

I am going to guess and state i think the price will settle around 260-280 a box on ebay. I do NOT believe we see $500.00+ boxes like some are predicting.


I will provide updates on the same day i receive them, please be patient :-)

Rudy, I was thinking about this borderless-art thing. Do you think this is an attempt to cut back on counterfeiting, since it's harder to produce cards with edge-to-edge art, due to the print/cut precision required?

Andrew Shelansky

Ummm the world runs off of greed, what do you expect?

Hey All, just a heads up: I made a facebook group for Rudy's Patrons. We are a small group of 33 right now, feel free to request a join and I'll add you! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2219817441361630/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/2219817441361630/</a>

Just hope the card quality is better...

I just can't believe WoTC had the BALLS to increase the MSRP. Sure it looks like the mythics are all good and there’s a handful of good rares.. That doesn't mean they have to raise the MSRP. I personally think it's just them trying to dip into the singles market.. Can anyone honestly provide a more reasonable explanation other than greed? It's not like these really cost any more than any other magic set.. Sure theres a foil per pack, but they also don't have to pay a design team to create cards since they are all reprints.

I’ll be down for a case. Trying to have at least a case of all the masters sets because maybe one day they might be worth something :)

Jonathan Yee

If your worried you could always increase your level... Im sure the 100.00 level will get first dibs over any of us and so they should.

Hi Rudy, looking for Urza's or Tempest booster boxes. Do you have any?

Now just to be clear rudy. Does this mean all of us or your 20 and up dollar supporters.....

Jonathan I Negron

I'd love to grab some. I missed out on the last two sets when they went for sale. Boo...

Robert Garrow

What angers me is that that they aren't "real" full art. Some of them even look bad they say they did it. You could get a custom painted one that looks way better.

gosh damn, prices are tanking everywhere....everyone is in panic mode....everything should continue to tank as well...wotc just shook it up thats for sure

rudy i really hope you resist the urge to keep this set ......and you sell it to your patreons at just above cost

this is going to be like black friday..there will be blood in the streets...they wont be able to print enough...all the masters sets are tanking like crazy..cards down $6, 7 and 8 bucks each

i just did a comparison and it looks like they took all the top cards from original masters, 2015 and 2017 and put them into one set

if they add all the artifact equipment swords(fire and ice etc) at rare to this set..and reveal mox opal will be in there as well...and i will poop....

the 40 cards revealed that this set is absolutely loaded...i bet if you put a side by side comparison with original modern masters and this stacks up right with it....its absurd how loaded this set is...id be willingi to bet it goes for $350 plus out of the gates...and the box topper cards that everyone is raving about are weak, lol...all they do is take a little bit of of the boarder off....now what they shoudl have done is make those box toppers like the kaladesh inventions and just made them an extension of that series...then i bet the boxes would push the $400 mark...those kaladesh inventions are absolutely amazing....probably the best looking magic cards ever

I'll be buying as well if there's room

Put me down for a case, Rudy.

agreed on the market settling around 250 box

Ivan Fuchs

I'm ready to buy, just us know when and how much! ;-)

omg... 300.00 - <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vengevine-Ultimate-Box-Topper-MTG-NM-Magic-the-Gathering-Foil-Full-Art/392167330728?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131231084308%26meid%3D637fa6c009c44b118df9491ebf1b0fb5%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D223219270917%26itm%3D392167330728&amp;_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vengevine-Ultimate-Box-Topper-MTG-NM-Magic-the-Gathering-Foil-Full-Art/392167330728?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131231084308%26meid%3D637fa6c009c44b118df9491ebf1b0fb5%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D223219270917%26itm%3D392167330728&amp;_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109</a> crazyness

You rock my tacos off Rudy love you man!

Long live the reserve list

Jonathan S

If I cant spend my money on a $500 dollar box what else would i do with it?

This should be called disgraceful reprint masters where Wotc steals reprint equity from collectors - I know my sentiment won't popular.

Jonathan S

i agree...and i know most do not agree with me but for 139.99 i would rather buy Masters 25...just my opinion lol

Rudy The Magic Guy

Thank you Rudy. If there isn't too many bulk rares and mythics I think this could be somewhat decent but the higher MSRP definitely needs to be justified and A25 and Iconic has me doubting WotC when it comes to this. Though Dominaria, GRN, and Ixalan give me a little hope they know how to put together a set of cardboard.

Gotcha. Thanks for the quick response.

Marcos Rivera (Jedi168)

yes every box has 1 box topper inside

Rudy The Magic Guy

Question Rudy. If you do get boxes they come with the box toppers on the inside correct?

Marcos Rivera (Jedi168)

... All i hear is 139.99 a box here... =P

Thanks for the update! Greatly appreciate posts

Jeffrey Ho

Yeah buddy! Thanks Rudy.
