0:43 - Iconic Masters was only the 7th time Magic had failed and fell apart? Let's see, Magic failed when 1) They released Chronicles, 2) They created Type II, 3) They decided that sets would rotate out of Type II when they released Mirage, 4) The 6th Edition Rules changes, 5) The 8th Edition card frame changes, 6) The emergency errata for Waylay, 7) Necro Summer, 8) When WotC was bought by Hasbro, 9) Affinity for Artifacts, 10) Creation of Mythic Rarity, 11) Stickers, 12) EDH turning into Commander, 13) Modern Horizons (all of them), 14) Magic 30th Anniversary Set, and I'm sure I'm missing a few others.

My next pick is the OTJ quick draw precon and the OTJ commander deck cases as a whole because of the bounty mini game.

As far as magic I really only buy the cool crossover stuff that they release, I bought a bit of the LOTR cards, and some of the doctor who cards. I think the problem with any TCG is getting new players in. Its a huge problem in ygo and thats because of the price point to get into the game. I picked up the Gardevoir battle league deck for 30$ and had a near top tier deck. So if I had to suggest a card game for people to get into on the cheap its definitely pokemon. With magic, I guess if I bought the individual cards for the Sauron deck I built it would have been cheaper, but even buying the commander deck, which I think was like 75$, thats still a lot for someone to spend and then still have to buy about 20$ more in cards to make it playable.

Hope you do well with all this stuff Rudy. That’d be cool to see. Somehow, anything post collectors edition boxes and the booster fun era seems like if you zoom out in time frame, in 15-20 years, this era’s magic will eventually collapse like 90’s era comics and sports cards. Although some had an increase in value during that time, today, it’s all basically worthless. None of it is rare. Anything during today’s era feels like it can’t succeed in the long term. Maybe I’m wrong; no one knows for sure. Hope you do well with it if you hold, it just seems unlikely.

He's completely right about selling and rebalancing risk. What you would do is sell part of it and use that money to make other investments. The thing I kind of regret was never buying any Alpha or Beta MTG. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I can remember seeing packs of it and being very interested in buying some of them. I remember for sure that I saw packs of Arabian Knights for sale when it came out, and I remember seeing Alpha and Beta packs at a card store but I was buying Pokemon cards at the time in 1996, I even remember asking the clerk about them because they were like $20 or $30 a pack. The problem was that my parents were religious and had bought into the entire MTG was evil thing, so I never got into MTG until closer to 2000. I have some unlimited and revised cards now that I've picked up, but I kind of doubt I'll ever buy any Beta or Alpha.
