works today here's how the booster box game is gonna it's not the booster box game I'm opening up one that I bought with my own money these are courtesy of What Not this I bought myself with my own money at my local game store I pre-ordered it before it was 500 a box and open it up live over here I will have my editors go in and add the value of the cards I open and I'm just gonna guess as I'm opening it what the box is worth in total at the end and what each card I open up is worth and I'm gonna be wrong because I'm an idiot and I don't know what's worth anything except the Naz ghoul I think and a couple other cards so you're gonna see me say stupid things like yeah I don't think that's worth a lot and it's gonna be worth a lot or vice versa I'm an idiot if I open up any serialized cards I'm vowing it now and I'll say it on the footage of that camera I don't want them if I open up a serialized card I'm gonna either auction it off or sell it off whatever gets me the most money and donate it to charity trans Lifeline is the charity of Tulare Community College we do our fundraiser every year I will throw this into uh a good cause which is what that is that's it no booster box game I'm opening up my booster box that I bought for me my one that I buy for every set for me I'm going to guess what prices are and if I open up any serialized cards including the one ring I will it goes to charity because I I honestly just take it and sell get your 500 I'm giving out 500 bills on whatnot this Friday I'm giving out 24 500 bills courtesy of What Not thank you what not that's extreme I'm gonna be honest it's a bit much it's a bit much you know but who am I to turn down an opportunity to give away 24 500 bills essentially to viewers of my stream come hang out we have a fun time uh I usually go through my closet and get some cool accessories and cards that I I auction off at low prices whatever it's just about hanging out having fun but I'll be giving away 24 anywhere in the world all I have to do is be in the Stream uh and and have your account you use my code you get 15 you don't have to use my code but use my code you get 15 which isn't bad either to spend on what you want and what not it's just eBay and twitch had a baby let's open up my box and see how I do no laughing at me don't be mean I'm don't be mean when I get prices wrong let's do it all right so just to be clear I do not have the prices of every single card in this set memorized nor do I have the prices of every single card variation in this set memorized I might open up a card during this and look at it and go oh looks kind of mid because that's what young hip people such as myself say to describe it's mid right am I saying that right it's it's mid and maybe it's wow it's this hundred dollar card ooh and oh what a crazy old professor doesn't know this game does he even play yeah I play I don't invest in so I don't have all the prices memorized that may happen that's actually part of the fun right can I tell which of the value cards or not I think the Naz ghoul are up there but yeah pretty much prices have tanked it's a serialized card or bust which means if you're spending 500 on this don't spend 500 on this then it's probably bust but if I do open up a serialized card then I am hereby officially vowing that that will be used or sold ahead of time and then the proceeds used as part of my next yearly trans Lifeline charity drive so I am not keeping any of those profits from any serialized cards that's being said right now if I open the one of one ring that's awesome love to put that money to good use all right here we go yeah they really lock it in there oh I messed up the thing already okay here we go [Music] open it up oh we got the box topper that's cool let's start and see what the box topper is is it ancient tomb this is where all the money is is in the Box toppers we're in The Uncommon Naz ghouls how do you like that those are some of the most chased after cards in the set uncommons and our box topper is the azaleth I mean that's actually that's cool I'm happy to put that in one of my commander decks good use for it all right pack one of 12. I cannot believe people would pay 500 for this I locked in a pre-order at my local game store [Music] so none of these on none of these common foils are worth anything they never are it's so funny that The Collector booster is supposed to be such big bucks when it's really just a couple cards in it I've said in the past I wish the whole thing all right here when the uncommons which the whole thing was foil do we get a Naz ghoul that's pretty much what we want in The Uncommon territory nope all right I think the uh foil lands are yeah they're a couple bucks each right I don't know let's see the price start there Samwise gam G one of my favorite characters definitely going in my commander deck oh am I supposed to guess prices on all of these uh ten dollars all right salt on ozgeliath a dollar elrond I'm not doing it for everyone I'm just gonna shout out if I think it's money okay uh Paths of the Dead Cavern of souls money uh I'm gonna guess that this is going for 50 bucks nasty end not money many partings and it appears to be a foil it's sometimes hard to tell it's weird how some foils really pop and others are this dull burnished color I don't think that's any money faramir Prince of illithium pretty pretty worthless watch that's like really valuable cool I got some okay I'll admit I just got some cool cards for my commander deck look I don't I don't think that cracking packs isn't fun it's just a lot more fun when it's not 500 for 12 packs now I got a cavern of souls that's cool it would be cooler if it said Cavern of Souls but what are you gonna do all right again Commons not work any worth anything breakfast that's a spell also flavor fail second breakfast shouldn't be an instant you Savor your second breakfast you take your time should be a sorcery or an enchantment actually Peregrine took so no Nazgul Island I don't know couple bucks [Music] uh Glam dring smithic I don't think it's worth much ten dollars am I just gonna say ten dollars for each it's what it should be you've seen that clip right of uh Richard Garfield saying I don't really think it should be worth more than twenty dollars any card uh cause Gilead Fallen capital corehaven I believe corehaven is really worth that much money so this is probably one of the dud ones right prevental comment down should we dealt by any target attacking creature this turn yeah I think that's one of the Duds many partings not foil uh the more gold Lieutenant uncommon not a Nas School uh barader enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a legendary creature mass irks that looks like a dud couple of bucks not worth the price of the pack and there's our work Army I would say that that pack was not worth the price of the pack so if this is 500 for 12 oh God my math skills okay if it was 500 for 10 that means it's a hundred dollars for ten that's ten dollars a pack says fifty dollars a pack so it's 12 so it's like what 45 dollars a pack is my math correct these are forty five dollars a pack not something like that uh I don't think that last pack had 45 dollars of value in it love the art on that that wasn't that gorgeous I think it would have been better for the set not to have serialized cards and just to come out and maybe even be standard legal maybe it wouldn't have sold this much but maybe the set would have been received a little bit better I don't like how it's just turned into a gamble it should be about the beauty of these cards the fun of playing them that's just the way I see it coin worth anything low though corrupt Sheriff not worth anything Summons of Sauron I don't know I'm just gonna well Tom Bombadil it's worth a couple bucks right I mean Tom Bombadil do you like this art style I don't like it because individually it looks pretty cool and it works the best I feel on Tom Bombadil when you line them all up it's like you don't see the characters and so then when they're like I've got a Tom Bombadil in this art style and the Frodo and this and it's like wait which one's which it works really well for one character like this is their special off in the distance and Tom Bombadil radiating light is really cool but when they're all just this distant outline silhouette ah you've got the more gold Lieutenant again I really would have liked a Naz ghoul and rising of the day didn't we just get those sarumon The Necromancer uh I just feel like saying ten dollars for everything but it's a foil so I'm not guessing I don't I don't really think that's a big big ticket item Gandalf the White is a big ticket item delighted halfling is a big ticket item The Naz school or Big Ticket items of course I don't know what foil values are on these so maybe they're really through the roof I just looked at non-foil values the other night to see where things were I I don't think we're going to get to 500 total like right now we've done what uh three four packs I don't even know how many packs we've done one two three four packs plus the Box topper I'm guessing our total right now is [Music] a hundred dollars no no no no it's gonna be more than that 150 dollars no hundred dollars I'm sticking with it Gandalf friend of the Shire beautiful art [Music] [Music] relic of Sauron see that's my point now look at this I want to show you what I mean look at how it just starts to and now picture what are there 12 of them you know it's just it's cool in a way but I also like to think of magic cards as book covers and if each of these was a book cover and it didn't have the name of the book on it and there were like 12 books in the series you wouldn't know which book was which after a while you'd be like is that Legolas I don't know and there we go see just starts to look at that from a distance it's like wait which one's which it's such a cool style but it should have been for like one card this piece is really cool Gandalf uh friend of the Shire but I don't think this card is worth much there's Gimli you know I think you know if you didn't see that would you be like is that Gimli and the witch King now that one it's a good one angmar uh whenever one or more creatures still combat damage to you each opponent sacrifice is a creature that dealt combat damage to you this turn the ring tempts you hate that mechanic but I think that's a really good card so I'm gonna say a foil one in showcase I'm guessing 18.99 1899 is my guess and I think our box total right now is 150 dollars I have no idea how is it is it that apparent that I have no idea [Music] all right um here we go give me a Naz ghoul no give me a Naz school no give me a Nas nope that's it just the two uncommons look at how the swamp looks like a like a forest too the other issue with these cards it's it's this idea of homogeny magic used to have such iconic ideas of Art and now it just all seems to blend together so much of it is like blending together Boromir two bucks I don't know the ring goes south definitely less than a dollar uh Aragorn and Arwen wed extended but not foil four dollars [Music] we got a Nas ghoul that's like uh well now at the time of filming this video they're up to like eight to eleven dollars each I'm gonna say 9.50 right in the middle I'm gonna say 950 on that Nas School Frodo sauron's Bane is that Frodo is that a Nas School oh Frodo's down there oh okay hostile calling that's beautiful beautiful art [Music] but I don't think it's worth much hey Gandalf friend of the Shire again [Music] Sauron the Dark Lord come on sauron's gotta be worth some cash right uh 13.13 cents huh huh cause he's evil current value 175 dollars this is either really embarrassing for me because it's like we're at three hundred dollars where it's really embarrassing for Wizards of the Coast because we're at like 68 dollars [Music] slip on the ring instant sure second breakfast we already discussed my issues with the flavor of that card [Music] all right now School me again nope the book of Mars good bar and a forest this one's actually a forest last March of the ants this is a card that I picked as one of the uh better cards for Commander in the 99 I think it was at the bottom of the list though uh but I do think it's a pretty good one I think it's something that's fun I'm gonna say in foil let's say 16.18 18. Elven look there's a little Mark on it I don't know if you see that there's a little Mark right there can we zoom in real quick up close right there editor and see if that's picking up so I'm gonna say because of that back down to 16 Elven chorus saradoc master of Buckland buck Sam wise the stout-hearted a buck faramir Prince of illphilian a buck Sting the glinting dagger let's see is this a good one Enchanted creature gets plus one plus one and has haste that's good all right uh equipped creature not Enchanted I'm old at the beginning of each combat untap equipped creature that's good equipped creatures First Strike as long as it's blocking or blocked by a goblin or an orc meh oh if that was a good one I'm gonna say uh 250. lash of the balrog [Music] worthless Pippin guard of the Citadel in the full art in foil I don't know five bucks I don't think that was that crazy a pack we got uh one two three four five six packs left no serialized cards all right get through these Commons they're all foil no one cares reprieve foil yes great for modern I'm gonna say this is twenty dollars I'm gonna say this is twenty dollars good card going in my modern deck and drought Basin not worth that much Island foil one ring to rule them all a dollar lobelia Sackville Baggins a dollar banquet guests a dollar fifty Peregrine took at least I think that's Peregrine took 13 cents Rivendell uh legendary lamb let's see how it says legendary land Adventures Battlefield tapped unless you control a legendary creature okay we can tap for blue we can spend to scratch you activate only if you control a giant that's not bad I think that's that's not bad in Commander um I don't think it's great I'm gonna say this one eight bucks uh the Oliphant that's worthless 16 cents Gollum patient plotter in foil blah blah 69 cents nice the Shire enter step in this control legendary and you can tap an untapped creature control create food yeah I think that's that's dies that's decent in foil and the the big stuff these that's 6.69 I think our total value now with one two three five packs left we are at 220 dollars in in value 220. seems high I don't think we're at 220. I'm beginning to think that's that's crazy talk because a normal collector booster just is 240 until it drops uh so like the idea that this is even worth that Frodo nope gray Havens nope planes look it looks like a forest if you didn't see that you'd be like what is that the forest or is that the swamp because the swamp also looks like a force shadow of the enemy a Mythic Exile all creatures from Target players graveyard you may cast spells from among those cards for as long as they remain exiled and man of any type may be spent to cast them six Mana all in triple black or it's not all in triple black half and triple back black four dollars and fifty cents since it's foil those Stars faithful strike a buck nope oh look it's a Pippin again yes I did that on purpose because I'm a jerk ooh gemstone Caverns all right but it's not foil so I'm gonna say what is I don't know what gemstone Caverns is up to it's the special art thirty dollars I feel like gemstone Caverns is worth some cash wizard Rockets less than a dollar Knights of dollar myth no clue lost aisle calling all right so it's basically box topper Naz ghoul or bust where's my serialized card aren't I supposed to get a serialized card for five hundred dollars no no oh wait they put those all in the gift bundles you know they did come on you know that's what they did why would you want to crack them in in these interesting that NAD schools are uncommon but we've only gotten one so far Gandalf the Gray that's not the Gandalf we want we want Gandalf the White so this one's two dollars the Battle of Bywater one dollar Denton or stone sear 40 cents Gimli counter of kills 13 cents the witch King angmar only and this is the different art uh uh that one's worth some cash what did I say I already guessed on which king and I forgot I'm guessing 18.99 it's 20 dollars 20. flash of the balrog hey a nazcool eight bucks is this a different art than the other Naz school I'd have to dig through my pile I don't remember if this is a different art but this nav school this this Naz ghoul looks like an eight dollar say editor if it's the same if it's the same art as the last one we got an asgoul eight bucks Frodo sauron's Bane oh it's the Frodo from the the gift bundle I don't know if that makes it more or less money [Music] all right uh we got three packs left let's say we're at like I don't think this thing is worth that much cash I think we're at like I I'm gonna say this I'm gonna say the whole thing is Gonna Come to you less I'm predicting this comes to less than the value of a regular collector booster with all of the money tied up in the Box topper cards that we got both in and out of packs uh and a couple Naz school I think the whole box is Gonna Come to like 213 dollars maybe so it's like yeah it's all right but not really and a lot of that cash is just like five bucks here eight bucks there all of those are cards you could get you just you know call of the ring that key art but I don't think this card is worth anything all right the palantir of uh or The Knack this is an oak it's a lot of words I'm not reading them all I'd say I'd say this is one of those those eleven dollar cards Gollum obsessed stalker not worth not obsessed enough ah faramir field commander Boop here we go reflecting pool that one's not too much though right it's like it's like reflecting pool show me editor uh the lowest cost for a reflecting pool it's gone up a bit it's like eight dollars right so the noon you know it's special 14 15 maybe oh the delighted halfling there we go modern playable card it's not in foil there's a little is that a mark no I think it's just some condensation um I forget what this is going for I think this is like a twenty dollar card though boiler fans well it's one of these merry so what I'm holding on to in these last two packs is we're going to end up with like 213 dollars in value in the whole box I don't know maybe we're at like 500 and it's like whoa if you had done the booster box game you could have gone on to another box but I just I don't think so I don't think that's gonna happen nope it's great art not that great a card swamp yes I did that on purpose more Elvin choruses weird we keep getting a lot of the same card all right shalab child of angulant how did they know that this is angulant's kid I mean like doesn't angulant have a whole bunch of kids and there's some other spiders elrond of the white Council hey Frodo Baggins don't you recognize Frodo Baggins which Frodo is it I don't know oh look very different than schmeagle helpful guy doesn't he look helpful there in that artwork isn't that helpful uh Boromir Warden of the Tower [Music] no orcish bowmasters that's the real cash Frodo Adventures Hobbit I say that card right there five dollars last pack all right what do I want in this pack I want an ancient tomb cool because I could sell it and then get a real agent tomb that says ancient tomb and looks like a Magic Gathering card um I don't want a Naz school but I want orcish bowmaster maybe although the Press will probably drop when it gets banned oh yeah I said it I'll say it again if I have to um Ewan Lady of Rohan antish restoration wow we got two Naz ghouls gladriel nope nope more Gollum Mary again we just got the damn look just got this thing all right great so glad in the common slot we get the same common Shire sheriff that is not worth much turret that's the white one draw a card only if you attack the two or more creatures of stern look everyone it's card drawn in white um but I don't think that's that I mean it's foil and super art so it's a nice number for that you know legendary land draw a card seems kind of weak sauce to me uh I'm gonna say seven bucks I don't think it's worth seven three bucks I don't know I mean if it's foil supports meet in the middle the 450. and there we go I'm gonna say right now I think the total value yeah I'm sticking with just this gut feeling this gut feeling that this whole thing is just about like like 200 bucks 213 bucks something like that uh if it is less than that that's laughable that's a joke that somebody's gonna spend 500 on this just an absolute joke if this is like seven hundred dollars of value or even five hundred ten dollars if this is if this made 501 of value then I uh uh I I I am definitely shocked definitely shocked let's see that total [Music] woof all right well that was definitely a thing that happened would you like your own collector booster box of Lord of the Rings uh I will send you anywhere in the world a
