THE GREATEST POKEMON BULL MARKET IN HISTORY. 

This guy thinks we can see through his BS 😆 He's got the most Evolving skies. C'mon man.

"Everyone's cracking these packs whether they're naked or not." These statements are why I am here.

Not having your first edition base in an acrylic case is so wild

I haven't watched this channel in a few months but it's great to come back and still see the old man ramble

Fusion Strike is the set where they had a table full of stacks of the chase cards.

Poke rudy is best rudy!!!!❤

People will eventually come around on the S/V sets too. The illustration rare cards are all beautiful and 151 already sells out almost instantly every time it’s restocked.

Makes sense to me. Unfortunately I got into saving boxes when I thought evolving at 144 was too much and thought I'll get this at 120.. never saw them there. Bought one to open at 180 and didn't hold one to save because I thought I'll see at pokemon center at 144 again.. nope. live and learn.

You got a subscribe from me.. love the way you explained this and it’s so true the patience will always outweigh the haters and naysayers I try to explain this to my friends all the time stop sleeping and wake up the time was a few months ago and no one listened

Been saying it for 2 years. 10k copies of moonbreon in a 10 is a drop in the ocean when a million want it

Glad I genuinely enjoyed ES as a collectible and playable set. A few cards (not Moon, thank God) away from a master set, which includes some square-edge misprints. So many memories. It’ll be fun to peak at values now and then, but the binder is on the shelf to stay.

The casual $200,000 box flex to start the video

Never heard of you before, but found this extremely interesting and informative. Thank you!

I seen his videos and I seen the crates that he bought two years ago of lost origins silver Tempest, and evolving skies. It was a huge flex. I seen it so when I seen him shining, I can be happy for him.

Its important to remember that even though the BB's are going up, the packs themselfs are under msrp for every set besides ES. This points to either the fact that the booster boxes themselfs have become a highly sought after and collectible item, or possibly alot of speculation. But its important to remember, these packs arnt running away from everyone. You can still get packs affordably and open as much as you want. They havnt all been gobbled up. Only the booster boxes are running away, which is only an issue if you are intrested in collecting or speculating on the box itselfs.

I’m a small time investor but have a case of fusion strike and brilliant stars. Thanks for all the info Rudy am new to the channel but love it.

Hey Rudy, I know you probably won't see this but I really enjoy your videos, especially the long conversations about life. You have mentioned becoming a father recently (congrats!). I'm an expectant father as well, and I was wondering how fatherhood has changed your perspective on things. Would be a neat video to listen to! Take care.

Could never imagine that we'd see the day where a Blaziken set card is going for $300 raw. Truly bizarre and wild.

Dropping in to say you’re killing it. Thanks for the value-add videos. What effect do we think modern repricing will have on vintage sealed products, slabs and singles?

i really like your approach to pokemon investing as a whole been following the pokemon market for a long time and bought in on a much smaller scale in the last 2 years. my question to you is how do you choose when to unravel your position if you dont really need the capital. is it slowly over time or just hold everything until selling all at once. i know that really doesnt apply to you as much with the patreon plus your history holding for the long haul. but what would you recommend, like selling lower performing products to re invest in other product.

Thank you for your insight

Rudys flexes are cold af :D

The photo of cards that fell off the back of the truck from a few years back featured chase cards from Fusion Strike if I remember correctly.

Is there even an upper limit for how much they can print without crashing the market? Based on the reception for the S&V sets, we seem to have reached that point. But will sentiment shift again in 5 years time?

Rudy that was Fusion Strike with the stack of alt arts/rainbow cards that were stolen from the factory. The guy was trying to sell them all at once at one store

Nice video Rudy, how do you plan to practically offload such huge inventories in the future? That is my only worry with my inventory of swsh

Rudy, who is your favorite Pokémon. I know you don’t collect it, but you gotta have a favorite.

Magic = dead pokemon = future

i'm new to pokemon want to invest some spare money into boxes i found silver tempest at 125 euro ea i think that is a good deal?

You the man. I need one of those shirts

Great Info!

Feel like I could listen to rudy at all times. Wisdom.

the biggest reason in my opinion, in my small little collecting corner, that everything is growing so fast is just the mass pack breaks that happen every day on RU-vid etc. I mean possibly 10s of thousands a day. So supply has never dried so fast. I remember waiting years to see gains then lost origin went from $90 to ?210 in just 8? Months.

Rudy! Please talk about Double Masters 2022 singles going up in value some are double the lows

It's all the people who DIDN'T invest telling you you're gonna fail because they're jealous they didn't get a slice when they had the chance. People just can't be happy for someone else's success, people are petty as hell.

The last 5 mins were gold. Great insight.

Great video Rudy

Rudy + long Pokemon video = 🌮

7:23 in an he finally gets excited lol

Your logic has always made sense. Buy at $80-$100 and you just can’t lose. The market has always dictated that it’ll eventually go up. After listening to you say that a year ago I bought a ton of Battle Styles, Fusion Strike, Chilling Reign, Lost Origin, and one case of Evolving Skies. I’m definitely sitting pretty now and I’m excited to see the day when all these sets (even Battle Styles) breaks $200.

It’s time baby! 🚀

Thanks Rudy 🎉

it was fusion strike that had all the stolen factory alt arts, like Gengar and Espeon vmax etc.. everyone thought it would crash the price, but from what I heard they were discarded and trashed, therefore making some of the alt arts even more rare + valuable, but who knows. alt arts continue to be high demand.

Yup it was fusion strike that had the stolen hits. Didnt affect pulls though. If you look all the bigger hits (blaziken, zard, quaza, etc) are going up byt some of the smallwe ones arent. Hoping to get some more

Rudy always makes me smile. 😂

What alot of people forget is swsh is last era with yellow borders

History repeats itself…I’ll leave it at that.

the trend is ur friend to the end until chuck norris 🤣🤣🤣

just found the channel, thanks!

Great Video.

Well said 👏

I have one sealed booster case of each SW&SH set and sealed case of ETBs of each set

Our lord and savior, Rudy the Great

Rudy is my spirit animal

Sword & Shield, best Pokémon era ever.

We all know Rudy is going to build a mansion with Sword and Shield cases!!!!

KEEP THE POKEMON CONTENT COMING RUDY! POKI IS KING

Fusion strike was the set with a bunch of the alt arts stolen from the factory.

how do we buy from your store

The zelda reference hit hard

Chilling Reign has a long way to go... UP!

Rudy is the goat

Really regret opening up a case of fusion at $88 plus tax/box :O

It was Fusion Strike.

nice JM bar, i wonder why fusion strike sleeved has not sold out on pokemon center. they are only 3.99 ea.

Ruby, should i buy evolving skies?

11:32 I think that was around the time of Lost Origin but I could be wrong

The stolen hits were from Fusion Strike and Evolving Skies

The first half of Scarlet & Violet era has been pretty good, especially compared to the first half of Sword & Shield. I'm not sure why people are still downing it, other than by influence. Mr. P Evolved and Temporal Forces have been my favorite so far. While Obsidian Flames was the lackiest of luster set so far (IMO) it's still a ton of fun. Trainer Gallery/Illustration Rare sub-sets really made the pack opening experience and the awsome cards to pull, way better. Always appreciate the Pokemon vids, Thanks Rudy!

Yes, rudy. The brick of cards that were stolen were SWSH Fusion Strike. Remember all those gengar VMAXes and Espeon VMAXes? Look at how much those go for right now.

Casually showing a 1st edition box like its nothing, Rubert is that man

ser please make a video of your stock :)

Rudy. Talk to us about modern Pokemon single price “NFG” contradiction to the norm. Bubble? New Norm???

"Rudy takes a victory lap"

Weren't we just in a bear market 2 years ago. How time flies.

Rudy is STILL rent free in my head!

That's exactly what the leader of a market manipulating cabal would say.

Been a sec since your last lego video

A lament for the pokemon bathroom.

boosters are fraction shares, it all makes sense now

Fusion Strike was the one that was "compromised" because of the leaked photos of the stolen hits. Evidently 😆

Gamepiece army is big mad with what's going on

I think we owe this to pokemon 151. Many got into the hobby because of it, and now they want more. We see this because they are alt art and different from what people remember pokemon to be. Now it's like investing in art, because it is.

What about the step sister arts?

The big alt arts are hard to pull they were always undervalued the top alt art from each set was always 2/3 - 1 1/3 of box price but you have to open cases to pull it, printed to oblivion yes but with Scarlett & Violet being lack lustre people are chasing the sword & shield because it was better. box breaking isn’t profitable compared to market value.

Hair is looking good

The stolen chase rares was Fusion Strike btw

I pulled that Blaziken 4 years ago it was my first “good” pull 😂 I knew holding it would pay off. Still not selling though

You said it man

Only Rudy has random 1stEd base set boxes just chilling, no case just hanging out, nothing to see here lol

Chillin reign just got taken off Pokémon center I don’t know if they will come back so might be out of print as of now… I believe sword and shield will be just like sky ridge ( last set WOTC printed) sword and shield will be the last set with yellow borders and crazy alt arts . Hopefully I’m here in 20 years to see the prices so I can finally retire lol

Good ol' market manipulation video ;) This bubble is bursting. Idk when, but you cannot eat carboard. I'd never participate in the frenzy after prices already gone up. SPECIALLY when reprints never seem to end.

There was just an announcement of a black lotus sold for $3 Million 🎉 I can't for pokemon to do the same.

Amen!

Remember this logic when rudy brand has 1million subs and not enough metazoo rudy promos to go around. I have a box full 😊

Pokemon love ❤

2nd half of sword and shield is just too big... but they def can do that again... and will dilute it then.. we just didnt have those alt arts yet in sv...

The stolen cards he mentioned was from Fusion Strike. The chase cards from that set are the Gengar VMAX alt which goes for over $300 (over twice the market price at the time of the incident) and the Espeon VMAX alt which goes for around $150 (almost twice the market price at the time of the incident)

it was fusion strike with the bricks of cards stolen

Im calling it now, magikarp from paldea evolved will be big.
