    Rudy, I actually heard of MTG about a month ago and after buying a stack of cards from the antique store downtown, I learned to play and love it. Thank you for doing whatever you did to make your video show up in my recommended list. I never would have heard of this game if it wasn't for you.
    P.S. If Wolverine was a Minecraft character, it would look like you on ultra low resolution.

    I'm pretty new to Magic (a few months in) and at first I really did not like the ancient cards and actually hated seeing them all the time. Now, after hours of watching Rudy, I'm in love with them and can start to feel the "magic" behind them and why they're so treasured. This is an awesome journey to be on!

    @BenSauerwine Před 5 lety +3

    I had a friend, also now deceased, who used to work at WOTC in the early days. At first I thought this might be his collection, but it is not. His story of how he collected it was pretty interesting. Apparently, whenever someone would mail in a defective card to ask for a replacement, they'd just start opening packs until they found a replacement. All of the extra cards from those packs would then be plopped on a shelf in a stock room where they'd sit until the room got too full, at which point employees would take the overflow home. He had several complete sets of Legends that he acquired this way, for instance. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all still sitting in his basement, and his widow has no idea she's sitting on a gold mine.

Your husband's old Magic cards are worth a bundle if you haven't already sold them or thrown them out, so send them to this guy with hairy arms and a floppy taco." It now occurs to me that I could just tell one of her friends who I have kept up with to mention it to her, and by doing so to help her out without it being so awkward.

I have no idea it’s value, nor do I care to have it appraised. I just wanna put em in a good home. No payment necessary. I never had the heart to throw them out, but I played through most of the 90s up until the mid 2000s. If you’re interested, you could give me a buzz and I’d gladly send them your way.
