THE COLLAPSE OF ONE PIECE - PANIC 

Everybody sell your one piece to me!!! Hahaha

Rudy gonna buy at 225 per

Right cuz all you see is “kids” playing the game. Listening is a skill buddy

@@mark5512 its a kids game & tv show, just like pokemon. not to mention a card game. And I'm not your buddy I don't hang out with kids.. one piece is literally made for pre-teen children

Losing profit, losing possible profit. Scalpers love to be dramatic.😂😂😂 they can just go back to pokemon and collect. They already know the history of bandai yet here they are still falling for the trap and yap. 😂😂😂

​@festeezy I was with you till you said it was a kids' show. First episode was released in 1999. That would put most of the fans in their late 20s to 30s. Not many people are going to watch a back log of a 1000 shows to get into something. Their might be some kids that like the show but I wouldn't say they are in the main demographic especially in the US where it is harder to watch it. I went to a prerelease with a friend just to check it out and there wasn't anyone under the age of 20 there for One Piece and they had a 64 person group. I can't say the same for MtG and I prefer MtG.

I was thinking the real friends are the investments we made along the way 🤔

SELL!! SELL!! SELL!!! 😝

I'm looking to trade some friends

I need to sell all the friends I have 😢

You're and adult dude, c'mon now

Correction... Not sure why people are surprised. It's Bandai... that's really all anyone needed to know. Bandai... yeah... good luck to anyone parking money in a TCG they manage...

Jesus... it baffles me how different people keep saying same nonsense over and over again. "new players that are interested in playing and can't get their hands on product at a reasonable price" - wrong. Singles are darn cheap and widely available. You don't need max rarity your deck to play. They'll reprint most broken cards in new set coming in few months. Rreprinting older sets will do nothing for new players outside of killing any collectors value for those cards. It'll also hit players since many people heavily invested in their decks. Welp guess what, your 100$ deck is now worth 50$. Bandai: "don't worry bro, it's ok because new people will come in and we care about them more then you".

​@@ant_989We all know singles are cheap, but if you want to make a fresh new player base for a fresh new TCG you need to make product available. Its simple.

@@TheXGamerX16 I get you're assuming new people don't know what ebay, tcg player is? Have you heard of internet yet? What's not available?

@@ant_989 Is it possible that there are players out there that like opening packs? Is there no overlap between players and collectors? It baffles me how people can't get this in their heads. Hope you're holding tight to your tendies.

I'll add my 5 cents here. In reality most of current meta decks are based around OP03, OP05 and OP06. These cards are still relatively cheap and boxes are available. Bandai history was always around their focus on current sets - print, release and move. Now they started reprinting older sets due to community demand that is something new. They tried something like this with Dragon Ball Masters BT10 and BT11, and I remember how many players and investors complained that they are ruining the game, and nearly 2 years later game is actually dead and they are trying to bring it on with new Fusion World. In truth reprinting old stuff is bad, and Bandai is known for reprinting all good cards in their anniversary products already, then why should they still reprint old sets? I don't get it.

With all due respect to Rudy...this was actually one of the best market analysis vids out to date. It was a fair assessment. There are so many "game piece" one piece hating bros out there that put out exceptionally ignorant comments.

Literally😂

Finally,another man of culture,i salut you Nakama!

He made this video to see comments like this and have laugh. Thanks for contributing.

@@ant_989 oh man you got us! Nah he’s just a sore loser just like all his patrons who buy his “deals” lmao

At a possible risk of their long term success

@@Adam-Adamsonkind of, but to an executive that won’t be holding heavy bags of product, and will likely be moving on to another company in 5 years anyway, they could give a crap about the long term growth of a brand. All most suits care about is making the immediate numbers so they can negotiate more compensation there or at any board of directors that’ll pay more than what they’re making now. They do not care about the people making their products much less the people buying it. “Investors” are just a bunch of whales for them to exploit until everyone moves on to the next big thing.

Why should they care about investors. They are selling pictures, not stocks.

They're trying to shift towards a player market.

​​@@Adam-Adamson Believe it or not sometimes people buy sealed products and play a card game to have fun. Not to just constantly hold, hoard and speculate for a minimal profit over a decade.

Dont always rely on tcgplayer website for the price due to supply and demand. They have lots of cards inventory so therefore the value falls, the lesser the higher or speculation pricing

That's what she said

Then dumping. Naturally

incorrect it's finished

@zmango8550 what's finished?

Never seen a one piece card taco 😂😂😂

Like what? Star wars baseball?

@@magicbanding1095 both. It's all about getting the good deal upfront.

@@magicbanding1095 been buying signed memorabilia and selling on different auction sites. Big money.

Careful, the NPCs here will call you a “Timmy” while they wipe their tears with Metazoo product 😂

Remember: the cards only ment to be played not collected. F to the collectors, right?

@@ant_989 Exactly, fuck 'em lol

@@ant_989 Collectors aren’t the same as investors.

@@TastySnackies Collectors are collecting based on rarity of the cards. If every card is a common worth few cents there's no place for the collectors. Bandai reprinting older sets to the ground is a middle finger to the collectors.

Op09 pre orders were already sold out 2 months ago. Every Anniversary set were gonna see an explosion

@@erikwsze23ssagenmzzan92 They'll probably make another 3 manga card set + some extra like Oda Luffy signature card. That's what makes those sets super popular and manga cards are almost always +1K

What a throwback lmao

Collectors aren't the same as speculators. Look at pokemon for example, most people dont play the game. They like collecting the cards and grading them to have in their collection.

Is there something you don't understand about supply and demand lol

Define like crazy lol. It's had one small restock and sold out almost instantly

Especially Queen

Compared to pokemon? Of course not, but the other games? I haven't had any issues moving op graded or raw, and the sealed is gone in a few hours.

@@Gagunk. really ? I guess different market …it’s very slow moving out here in NC …. Only playable stuff moves quick!!!!

@donstutterswag6608 Bummer! Are you only selling locally? I do a mix, so product doesn't hang around long.

@@Gagunk. I’m by Charlotte

And is now a 900$ booster box 😂

Yeah sure it's "destroyed". 900$ for a box. I wish they destroy more boxes like that.

😂 I think its the oposite. If you think having scalpers and investors since day 1 is healthy for a new TCG, you are completly wrong. You need to distribute your product to as much people as you can, so they join the TCG, play it, and then you will control the market.

@@TheXGamerX16 "If you think" There is no thinking needed, we have decades of real data showing you NEED investors in a collectable card game. That is the reason they are all desperately trying to push limited premium foil cards not needed for gameplay. What you said makes zero sense. Which "new" game has taken over the market from mtg or pokemon by overprinting?
