Me opening an alpha mtg booster pack

[squanto1031]

Better than rare island indeed

[IxFito95xI]

499 dollars, ur gonna regret that, there just cards

[sconethief]

@IxFito95xI The rare he got alone is worth around $1000, and the price is only going to increase as these boosters get harder to find.

[IxFito95xI]

@sconethief I take that back now Holy shytt

[UBleedIDrink]

@IxFito95xI but an alpha mox ruby is worth 1000 dollars. not a bad investment, i think ;)

[mtgloverofdoom]

I got 4 NOT!!!!!!!!

[blackwidow49]

It currently retails for around a grand in near mint condition.

[kattphud]

Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap... HOLY CRAP!!!!

(Where the crap are your gloves!?)

[p0skar1]

How much is that card worth and what happened to the card after opening the booster, did you sell it ?



[MagicMike820]

Legendary pull to the extreme

[TheTouchedIpod]

Him Opening this= undressing Megan fox naked.

[Zediogorula]

@TheTouchedIpod How do you undress someone naked?

[RishRam526]

You spent 499 dollars on that!?

[IronMilkMaiden]

@RishRam526 Even if he did, that's at least a 900 dollar card.

[BlackMage928]

Im glad to see people who can't understand why you would pay money for a piece of cardboard but I bet those people typically waste more buying something more wasteful.atleast what he has is an investment.can't say that about alcohol can ya?

[kizrkyle]

@BlackMage928 black mage when we drink aclahol every night we are investing in finding a woman...but yes still a bad investment

[Nahaufnahme24]

holy shit i shit myself... xD congratulations! \m/

[Drecon84]

Dream come true :)

[tonysuthechineseguy]

nice mox ruby grat

[MayorOfTown]

great video! i shared your excitement for that last card; i was really hoping it was not something lame like sunglasses of urza.

[crippenfalyfe]

$500 for some cards? The fuck?

[dragoon0248]

How did you get for the Mox Ruby?

[Biospark88]

Incredible! You lucky, lucky bastard! Mox Motherfucking Ruby?! Trollandtoad lists it for ~1K. You actually got a mad return on your investment. Congrats!

[burgerb0y]

who ever sold that on ebay is an idiot you can search those packs without opening them. 

[welkijken]

@burgerb0y Ya many people dont seem to know this.

[rawfriez]

499?! i can go to my card shop up town and buy one for a dollar

[WarlordGaming]

@rawfriez You can buy a normal booster pack for a dollar sure, but not an alpha booster pack. For example, a normal booster box costs like a minimum of around 80$ or so depending on the box, from a quick search, the cheapest alpha booster box I can find is around $24k.

[dewhirst69]

@rawfriez not an original you cant, that set is the first ever set

[bigrudypwns69]

how in the hell did he open that pack?

[mauriliobr]

the way he holds the mox

lol

[BrownPaperBag1000]

499? Dammmmmmmm

[XboxDouchetage]

@BrownPaperBag1000 But he pulled over 1k in cards.

[TheArthusii]

Never go to a casino :P

[saberstrick]

you fucked up now

[themonadnomad]

Love the way he popped that pack ... deserves the ruby just for that

[mgmuser]

really 499 dollars for a pack?. good thing you got that mox, but still the risk is too high for me

[Reach1335]

That mox saved your ass, gj.

[Novica89]

Hahaha,wasting 400 $ on a few cards. That my friend is what i call money waste.You could have went to charity and gave that money to poor kids or something.

[zNEKOMARUz]

@Novica89 He can get that money back and then some by selling that last card.

[Novica89]

@zNEKOMARUz yeah probably (i don't know about card values and MTG).But i guess,as always - it's very rare to get profit from booster packs

[zNEKOMARUz]

@Novica89 aint that the truth. but keep in mind there was no such thing as rarity back then. you had as much chance to pull a Black Lotus as anything else. idk why he kept saying commons and uncommons when he was opening those.

[danberner]

@Novica89 that mox ruby he pulled is currently worth more than the pack of cards he bought. i'm talking about jetskis bro

[sonicismybrawler]

@Novica89 Or he could have made $260 profit like he just did.

Who are you so high to talk down to people?

[Novica89]

@sonicismybrawler Don't rely on this particular case.This happens in 1 / 100 or more i guess. (again,not into magic).

I'm Novica,nice to meet you.The think that makes me so high to talk down to people (i really don't know how you came to this conclusion in the first place,but anyways) is that I am of those few people in this world that would (if they had so much money so that they can waste it on cards),rather give it to someone that realy need it.

[sonicismybrawler]

@Novica89 But who are you to say this is a waste? And I play a lot of card games, so I know what this is like in terms of probability.

And well, if that is the case, why are you wasting money on the internet? You dont need it, you could be giving that money to someone who needs it.

You dont know how much extra money he had, maybe he saved up for a very long time to do this. So to say he wasted it really isnt fair. If this is what he loves to do, who are you to say it is a waste?

[Novica89]

@sonicismybrawler I'm not judging HIM per se for wasting money (his money,his problem),just saying that i THINK that spending 450 $ in GENERAL for cards is a waste.But that's just my opinion,right? all the best.

On the other hand if that is something he worked hard for and it makes him happy to do a purchase of a booster card pack from time to time just to threat himself and be happy,forget about every day problems that we all share - that is perfectly ok.

[McWiggl3z]

@sonicismybrawler dude he made more than that

[Hellgoregaming]

Can I have the wrapper?

[MeganMoriyama]

the way you opened the pack reminds me of undressing a women ><

[chrisoyola]

@MeganMoriyama Well if that is how you undress a woman, then you got issues

[EliteDoomer]

@MeganMoriyama lolol

[keefers211]

so 240p, we meet again

[darkmanddk]

Wow that must have been an incredible feeling :D I know how it feels to buy old things with lot of value to you. Amazing!

[SCSabre]

...but will it blend?

[TheOmegachron]

press 8 for RuuUUBBYYY 

[SirenoftheVoid]

those packs are such a gamble...paying a fortune,you really hope you don't mess up.opening what you want makes it all worthwhile for sure.

[AshSakia]

if your being so careful opening this pack then you should be using gloves, idgit

[72Bit]

How is the card called ?

[Pepperdine10]

@72Bit Mox Ruby

[xDroflmao1337]

Well that owns the shit out of any pull I've ever had.

[TrojaSucks]

@xDroflmao1337 well mox ruby payed the whole pack times 3 so...

[ThePandoh]

you can get so many drugs with 500 dollars

[jackson12784]

$500 for that small pack of cards even if it is alpha or whatever

[mtbrain1]

how does he know the rarities? ALPHA had no set symbols, and you needed a rarity guide to know all of the rarities...

[DarkTenka]

@mtbrain1 many people know a lot of the old cards rarities off by heart.. its certainly not hard to tell which is the rare card .. knowing the uncommons from the commons is a little more hardcore but many people do know them.

[gangster301]

@mtbrain1 You know by the location in the pack. rare is back, commons in front. and there's always the same amount of commons, uncommons, rares etc.

[RyanDemaree]

$ 500 for a pack of cards is nuts....

[TheBrutalStar]

MOX RUBY!!! $500 WISELY spent, but if the rare was anything less than a power 9, your money is essentially wasted.

[mrploch]

how much is the card he got?

[c0copuff25]

@mrploch Probably in the range of 1,200-1,500 US

[mrploch]

@c0copuff25 wow thats a nice profit he just got

[gaintshark]

@mrploch near mint about 1000+

[gangster301]

@mrploch don't listen to those guys. it's 450$ on mtgmintcard.

[Victor020988]

I once opened an Alliances booster pack and cracked Force of Will... not the same thing, but I kinda get how you felt.

[thrashtastical]

i could use that for my dragon deck

[alcapownage44]

Holy shit gg bro pulling that mox at least you made your money back :)

[x4dow]

bet the ebay guy just makes proxys seal pack them , all fake and then lol's at selling packs at 500$ with 1000$ worth of fake cards.

;)

[TheJigglyfat]

@x4dow if it was 1000$ worth of fake cards even if they were fake they would be 1000$ worth of them they could sell all of them for 1000$

[SMorgenstern73]

@x4dow The guy that did that on ebay would then be facing about 20 years in jail. You idiot.

[ChocolateAirwaves]

Am i the only one who has never heard of these cards? Who has $500 to spend on cards?

[gangster301]

@ChocolateAirwaves people with jobs.

[marcinpiskor]

This is not the alpha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

alpha had sharp corners. This is different from the next edition.

This is possibly the beta. shows exactly that has rounded corners.

do not cheat, it's alpha ;>

[nk182blu]

@marcinpiskor alpha cards did not have sharp corners, their corners are actually more rounded than all of the other sets.

[edwardhall754]

I'd send that to get graded immediately!

[JohnCaseyCB]

Why the fuck would you ever open this? This is worth a fortune, not to mention it's awesome memorabilia.

[98smithg]

@JohnCaseyCB For the pleasure of opening it.

[JohnCaseyCB]

@98smithg

>:/ You're an idiot. There's no pleasure in any of this. Not even those retards at StarCityGames would open this.

[98smithg]

@JohnCaseyCB Im glad you get to decide whats defines pleasure and who gets to enjoy it, here i was thinking it was completly subjective in nature.

[JohnCaseyCB]

@98smithg

There are limits. Serial killers find pleasure in raping and dismembering people. And yes, opening an Alpha pack is the same as acting like a barbarian. >:<

Infidel.

[ParadigmShiftr]

@JohnCaseyCB The Mox Ruby inside will more than pay for the pack. A very conservative estimate is ~$800

[MrCommanderData]

Nice pull!

[scottjwbaker]

Not 800 estimated value is 1000 to around 1500 good find

[jscohen]

Ah, they don't make sets like this any more, do they?

Congrats on the Mox Ruby!

[Spongebobhankey]

Nice! Reminds me of when I paid $7 for a Revised repack and got a Tundra(worth $15 at the time, now like $80 or $90) and when I paid $10 for an Urza's Destiny pack and got a Masticore worth $15 at the time! XD

[nfinn42]

how the hell do you not just whip that top card aside when you saw the card title "mox ruby"? How could you keep that glorious art covered up for even one second longer? There must be ice water in your veins. :P

[nfinn42]

you got so lucky. You were more than 90% likely to get screwed given how many stores learned how to cherry pick good packs in the old days... the fact that this pack made it through the gauntlet unopened with a Mox inside was very unlikely.

[NGPMusic]

its worth like 24,000$ now

[SMorgenstern73]

@NGPMusic you are looking at the wrong card. Unless it gets graded all 10's, (which it won't) he can get anywhere from 1200- about 5,000

[MrToastOmnomnom]

The way you open a pack is sorta like how I open a pack...but I don't really press it on the table to open that way. e-o

[rajeeb34]

its a game not a religon

[GeOhDe001]

You said that people don't get p9 in packs anymore but my friend got a black lotus about a year ago. I personally dont think its worth 400 bucks to buy a alpha booster pack. Most rares arent worth more than 200 dollars. you got very lucky to make a small profit.

[sierinlang]

there's you $800 card :p

[twosundevils]

I am glad he got a mox, other wise it would have been really crappy. getting all those lands, ouch!

[TheCollector8]

@dan1109 but he probably sold that Mox Ruby for more than $1000

[TheAmerican462]

When he said ( Mox ) i got so close to my screen my nose was touching it ( :

[dan11009]

you paid $499 for a back of cards.... shame on you

[youngbloodmegalodon]

@dan11009 yeah but he got it all back with that Mox Ruby he got. he actually probably made a small profit off of it. lol

[theelegantelyf]

I remember back in 1993 I went to Legacy Comics one day and MTG first came out and I was that everyone was playing it, so I told the worker "Hey Henry let me get an Alpha Booster" so he handed me the box, I picked out a pack, and he said $1.45 please, So after I gave him 2 bucks, I pulled a lotus

[GTicecoldkilla77]

*guy who sold him this* FUCK!!!!!

[dkjah1]

def. no alpha cards! this is beta

[SMorgenstern73]

@dkjah1 are you stupid? Look at the case.

[acemanner]

I could see him thinking "black lotus.... black lotus.... black lotus.... black lotus.... GOD DAMNIT!!!!!"

[15thlemur]

NERDGASIM!!!

[PuzzleBox217]

Saw the artifact edging and fought "sh*t he has a black lotus" this must be fake, oh its a mox, still cool, and hey only 1/3 of the booster was lands ;)

[TwicePanda]

Get that man a sleeve!

[Hertfordbristolman]

@TwicePanda in mtg the players are wizards, so you might say "get that wizard a sleeve" ha ha ha. I apologize for my vulgarity

[Garruk199]

Fake!!!

[goodvocalcover]

@nomchews i seen it for 450$ at my local card shop thats y i said 450$ but it was used not in mint so thats prob y

[SMorgenstern73]

@goodvocalcover That would not have been an alpha Mox Ruby. Unless there were visable creases in it.

[pokechaomaster]

*mox ruby disentergrates*

[Kogaassassin]

"I got it from ebay for 499$ " come again ?

[StoutNerd]

LOL, perfect exemple on how women take longer to have an orgasm. Husband jizzed at 0:39, wife at 2:08.

[bignig387]

@StoutNerd HAHA!

[AndriusMenu]

@StoutNerd I will correct you the man Jizzed 2 times :DDDDDDD in less then 2 min the second jizz after his wife jizzes at 2:16

[goodvocalcover]

that last card pays for his pack alone 

[Paparoach212kil]

@goodvocalcover Really? 500 bucks?

[goodvocalcover]

@Paparoach212kil well its worth 450$ i seen it at a card store i went to the other day the other cards are prob worth somthing also look up black lotus on ebay they are 1000-4000$ for 1 card

[nomchews]

@goodvocalcover

Alpha graded mox ruby is worth 2k not $450, a local card shop would probably even try to sell it for more.

You were looking at an unlimited non graded mox ruby.

[jameswf13]

uunlucky m8 shame u dint get black lotuz i haev got 55 dey is lyk commonz m8z

fuckin fag lol

[SMorgenstern73]

@jameswf13 Learn how to spell, you caveman.

[EliteDoomer]

@SMorgenstern73 Learn that ad hominem attacks are unnecessary.

[higuyimfried]

i copied 4 alpha packs and sent them out for 350$ each on ebay filled with pokemon cards best sale ever

[boxer4u2nv]

@higuyimfried liar. no you didn't.

[SMorgenstern73]

@higuyimfried I hope you get arrested. because that is illegal.

[NatHDiEldrAZi]

Fukin nerd

[jokerclownman]

Holy shit you lucky baterd!

[mythic456]

Holy shit I was just hoping for that. Nice pull

[xSuperZer0x]

That's definately Beta not Alpha

[BurnTheLeaves]

you and your mom opening up a 500 dollar pack of magic cards, how cute.

[pkfighter343]

This makes me want to go around and find if any of my older friends have old cards so I can buy them for like 50 bucks off of them and sell them for like 6k or more

[ThePokemonRhombus]

My heart Skipped a beat when that Mox Ruby Showed up, Great Pull!

[theelegantelyf]

Thumbs up if you saw an Alpha Booster Pack

[PoketoMtg]

I think you should have pulled a Volcanic Island the rarest card to find in an alpha pack.

[SMorgenstern73]

@PoketoMtg You just straight up are stupid. Lotus is the rarest pull possible.

[PoketoMtg]

@SMorgenstern73 I was kidding, Volcanic Island wasn't printed in Alpha :p

[Sagramorbald]

@PoketoMtg Yes it was :P

[TokyoPatrick]

Congrats! Mox Ruby in an Alpha pack. It certainly was worth the money. $499 and you pull a $800 card. I can't comprehend that feeling of pulling power 9. Again, congrats.

[FNMreporter]

holy fuck you spend 499 dollors on a pack that might no even have anything AND back then yoou can see through the wrapping with light SO.......

[pkfighter343]

@FNMreporter All you could see was a common then, the rares are at the back.

[cattomas]

If it was Darksteel Kolossus would your reaction be the same?

[pkfighter343]

@cattomas Darksteel Colossus runs around 3 dollars, if that. No. They wouldn't have. I have one, not a big deal.

[MRszwajkowski]

Was it worth the money?? lol

[pkfighter343]

@MRszwajkowski Let me just say this. Mox rubies sell for around 800$. The other cards could probably be sold for around 20 or more $ each because they're just so old and rare, and in mint condition.

[Lumaga]

I was really pulling for a valuable rare card like a mox or the black lotus. Contrats!

[pkfighter343]

@Lumaga Black lotus.. omg.. if they pulled that I would have shit my jeans, woulda been so much luck from just 1 pack...

[Thormodr]

Awesome video. I love Alpha MtG. Looking for an Alpha Fungusaur right now and I'll pay decent coin for it. :)

[jaytf310]

nice...

[jonnymmac]

Awsome! Happy for you. Congrats!

[SerraAscendent]

haha its like charlie and the chocalate factory

[LuisTorres2014]

i wonder how crazy he would go if we ripped that last card hahaha :)

[thatonekid12387]

i came



[21sizeman]

Your stupid

[dyne313]

It's mostly a bad idea to open the really old boosters, because there is a way to find out what the rare is without actually opening the booster. But apparently this one wasn't presearched.

[erichitz79]

800 for the ruby GRATZ

[IzzYandPalpro]

That's beta my good sir.

[Opeth291]

Your the only person Ive ever seen to open his booster packs like a gaping vagina

[cantfindafkinaccount]

@Opeth291 lmfao

[Jock4Jesus]

@Opeth291 lmfao nice comment u sir made m y daY

[nfinn42]

@Opeth291 yeah, that was kind of creepy. I peel the glue at the top, completely open the top, then unseal the glue down the back until I can unseal the glue on the bottom. But then, I use pack art for art projects, so I like to keep it untorn.

[GMvard]

mox ruby is a 600 dollar card. Money well spent

[stomp919]

Nobodys gonna pay you book for any card. Hey its fun but like stamps or coins your gonna pay top dollar and sell it back for peanuts. Theres way more of these cards floating around than people realize.
