Winter

Vincent C — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:56:24 GMT

If you watch most of Rudys videos (alpha investment) you know he talked about Magic being “down” in general. He is at the front-lines and can literally just see how his customers are slowing down ordering. Volume down, prices down. This is exactly what I started seeing ~6-8 weeks ago and I greatly decreased purchasing because I believed I would see better buy-in prices in the months ahead. We are heading through that Winter/”winter” of MTG now and I am watching things that I posted before more closely than I was the last ~ 4 weeks or so.

I agree with Rudy..... or he agrees with me

I sent this to one of you this past weekend that asked but this is the most recent Collector Booster Display that I am buying for MTG. My goal is to get ~10 by end of February. I agree with Rudy when he says MTG will outperform Pokemon for the most part, and I also agree that things have been slower. This is why I have not been buying as much, because I see the slowdown and think we are in for better buying opportunities thru Winter. This however is a set that clearly has a lot of lover (I think its awesome) & if supply is low it might never be cheaper.

Happy Anniversary!

I remember when these dropped several years ago. They were SO expensive as a retail product. Without looking I am going to assume they were $500+ (no need to check ha) and they had a HORRIBLE reception. True MTG Fans despised it. Resellers kind of talked about buying it, and honestly we might have posted about them. I just remember it was not a good thing once we knew the sentiment + the retail. Time…. changes things.

Make sure you also do this.

Nintendo ...... MUSIC!?

Nintendo hardly ever produces physical music. That is why

MARVEL under retail

Vincent C — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 14:40:54 GMT

Marvel + under retail.... YES PLEASE!!

If MTG is a “thing” than Marvel is THE THING. Great IP & so my it will always be one of my biggest exposures within Magic. Obviously from a dollar standpoint nothing will ever be close to what I have in Lord of the Rings

I’ll never forget when World of Warcraft released. Weeks prior you could play the beta where you could level up to 20 & I just remember having on music & playing the game for hours and hours.

My way of investing in League of Legends/Riftbound

Vincent C — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 22:03:11 GMT

I don’t have any other reason I bought these except that I think buying anything LoL/Riftbound related in the world of MTG feels right.

NEON! The brighter the better

Same thing from a few weeks ago but getting you guys the actual links for these. I mentioned I was buying them along with the Commander Decks.

LOADING...... Video Games

Vincent C — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 16:15:51 GMT

It should be obvious that I am buying N64 games. Some of you may remember but during Covid there was a rush to vintage video games just like Sports Cards and TCGs. Then it went quiet. Games imo have been “too quiet for too long”….

This is a drop that I was really bullish on just due to historical data. Now I am grabbing more to flip into Christmas present buying season.

You all know by now that I like to purchase product that will synergize with upcoming releases. Here we go again.

A NEW reserve list!

Vincent C — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:35:20 GMT

These are decks with cards that likely we never ever see again, at least in a similar form. If we do, I think they would be drastically different. They wouldn’t be in full decks like this, but maybe just like special inserts or something in a Universes Beyond set. This isn’t a long-term play for me regardless, as the supply is a big reason I am picking these, so I can look at a selloff into quarter 4/holiday spending. Let me show you the decks I am grabbing.

Is Hobbit out selling other Magic: The Gathering sets leading up to release?

Vincent C — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 20:02:38 GMT

$350,000 = 6 days of Hobbit sales ~ 1 week out prior to release day :GCheck:

$364,000 = 6 days of Secrets of Strixhaven ~ 1 week out prior to release :GCheck:

$200,000 = 6 days of Spider-man sales ~1 week out prior to release :GCheck:

^ These are the total $ monies spent on TCGPlayer a week prior to release day.

A few things. Spider-Man was a “falling knife” at that point in time. Dropping from nearly $900 + to under $600 in like 10 days. That figure is based on sales near that $600 range. Strixhaven had a LOT of volume at the $550s mark. More volume and Hobbit for sure, but with the Hobbits nearly $300 price overage, it brings up Hobbits total $ volume. IF Hobbit drops $300 I would bet the volume would surpass Strixhaven. My opinion.

Will continue to watch, but Hobbit has seen a ~ $50 price increase since prerelease started Friday up to today. I think it doesn’t get in the $500s like all the idiot YouTubers that have bias from history. They are blind to the shift the last ~ year from brand new players + the $ coming in because they have been around too long to be honest.

ALSO there is an incredible number out there regarding the total amount of money spent on TCG Player on MTG Collector Boosters in total the last 30 days. That number is around $2.2 million. This is SO LOW compared to Pokemon spending in my opinion. I did not come up with this number/run Claude on it. I heard it from this smaller channel

and he has the EXACT same theory that I have: NEW PLAYERS are causing the increase in MTG prices. Doesn’t take some1 super smart to come up with that idea to be honest. You just have to have paid some attention the last year, year and half, and also asked around. I have asked my friends, the people at the coffee shop, at my bread store, NFL players, etc. if they play magic/know people that play magic. All of them have said they knew at least 1 person OR they themselves played (the bread store I go to literally 5+ guys that work there all play the game).

Hope you enjoy the read!

While Hobbit Hype is in full swing I am revisiting something that I already have & it is a set that honestly people really do enjoy but has flown under the radar.

Brainstorming while we wait for Hobbit

Vincent C — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 23:56:34 GMT

+READ MY LAST POSTS

This liquidity suck from Hobbit + Pokémon 30th gives us time to buy basically all of our MTG stuff for the next few weeks at very similar or possibly even lower prices. I am STILL picking up stuff from my posts as prices stay steady/throwing out lower offers as people want $ for Hobbit or Poke 30th. Hobbit is bigger than most people think & I believe all the new MTG players/investors/collectors from the past year all want Hobbit so bad. It is a smaller set, so it will have less produced. That being said , these Secret Lairs

.... again... yes we are buying Legos again!

Vincent C — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 13:38:33 GMT

If you haven’t noticed, I love buying products that relate/are similar products we have done well on in the past. Most of the vinyl that we buy are based on an artists previous sales, same album sales, similar variants, similar production numbers etc. How many times have we bought Pierce the Veil and 2x+ on them in less than a year? Same with Panchiko. Same with Over the Garden Wall (get ready for October!). Legos same thing, loosely just based on IP & minifigs. Groundhogs day 100%.

It comes as no surprise if you have been around

Hit em' while they're low

Vincent C — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 18:45:05 GMT

It isn’t something I thought I would be ever buy, but it looks too easy to 100% ROI from. There was a time when they were somehow selling already for ~ 30% above retail.

This is going to be a quick one. There really isn’t much to this because it is a play similar to my LotR, especially when I “doubled down”. I am NOT much for buying/focusing much on anything other than “Collector” boxes so pretty much ~ 90-95% of my purchases are Collector Booster Displays. Not going to change my method here either.
