I watched a lot of Rudy's videos on YouTube. He was really entertaining and informative on all aspects of the MTG/CCG business. Not only the value of the cardboard and boxes but how much it costs to start up a game card shop. He has a series on his channel about him renting a property and talks about the cost (apparently signage is very expensive!) A thing they didn't mention much in the article, but Rudy talks a lot about, is he buys tons of unopened boxes from older sets and just holds them then slowly follows prices on ebay and the like and sells off boxes here and there. Don't consider Rudy some kind of scrappy fighter, as he is definitely a big dog in this game. I didn't end up doing anything after watching his videos, because as someone below already mentioned, there is a huge cost in storing them and reselling them, then also hoping WOTC doesn't reprint the cards you were holding onto. All of this kinda makes it not worth the effort for what amounts to maybe +$20 in profit per box after keeping them for 2 years. Maybe that sounds good to someone else, but I am space-sensitive (I live in San Francisco). I heard about Rudy right nearly when he started making videos 1.5 years ago (due to watching some mtg summaries, his channel was recommended to me by youtube), and if you had started then, _maybe_ it would be worth it. now that this article has been published I think the cat's out of the bag and you're going to see a large number of people trying to buy up mtg boxes/cards. Mostly though I'm worried that once WOTC gets a bigger whiff that there's this demand, they'll go the way of sports card producers and comic book makers of the 90s. Create more product than there is demand and cause the markets to crash.
