In any case, the unedited text generated from the videos.  Okay, mostly unedited.  So many "ums" it was bugging me.[SPOILER="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD9HRueI6Js&ab_channel=oldschoolmtg posted April 22, 2023"]welcome back cardboard workers how'severybody out there doing today it'sbeen a crazy month uh it was a reallycrazy morning.I got up and was doing some videosrecording some videos and I did arecorded a regular March of the machinecollector's box opening before theevents unraveled of the morning so thatmay be a little confusing what I'msaying in that video so take that with agrain of salt.I I right after I got done with thevideo dogs are barking becauseSomebody's knocking at the door uh Icome out and my wife's answering thedoor and it was the pinkertons uh ifyou're not familiar with the pinkertonscheck them out uh yeah it's like kind ofa big deal they're uh they're thelargest private security firm in likethe world I thinkthe big heavy hitter guys anyway I thinkI'm knocking on the door to recover thestolen product from which is the coastwhich was the margin machine aftermathstuff it wasn't stolen product just toclear the record as far as I knownothing was stolenwhat I believe happened was the namesare too similar March of the machinemerge the machine aftermathsomebody screwed up and sent out thewrong cases to the gentleman that I bought the theboxes off of because when he sold me thestuff he said he saw me March of themachine collector's boxes not aftermath uh he'snot a magic guy he's a more PokemonYu-Gi-Oh uh guy I believe uh he justdoes magic as because it's all you knowall the card games it just does them allbut he didn't even know what aftermathreally was I don't thinkso I don't think he stole anything Ithink it was just he got the casesthinking they were March the machinesome of me thinking they were March themachine I bought them thinking they wereMarch of the machine I didn't know untilafter I give him the money and openedthe box to look at the the boxes insidethat they were aftermath so because theystill just like say March of the machineon the outside of the boxes too so Idon't know um I don't want to get toomuch into the story the videos are takendown nowthe pinkertons actually gave me thenumber to somebody at Wizards of theCoast that was asking them to have mecall them so I did I called Wizards thecoast and talked to a gentleman there itwas very nice and very apologetic aboutmaking my wife cry first thing in themorning by sending these uh heavy dutylawmen I come collect stuff and talkabout stolen products and uh jail timeand all this other stuff but uh theythey don't believe that we stoleanything which we didn't and they don'tbelieve that I don't know if theybelieve anybody really stole anything orif it was just a an accident or whateverbut they needed the product so theycould try and they wanted the productback so they could try and figure outwhere the the hole was so they can plugthe hole is exactly what his words wereto me and he did apologize and they knowthat they they took a lot of stuff thatwe had paid a lot of money for and heactually said they are gonna try andcompensate us a little by sending ussome other product and was asking mekind of what product I liked and whatnotso he seemed very nicewhich was the coaches not being verythey're not being rude about it oranything they were being veryand apologizing that they had to go todrastic means by son the pinkertons onmy front door butthey are uh they are like I said askingif they can send me some product to makeup for the loss of money so we'll seewhat happens with that I'll I'll let youguys know what happened with it um butthey did seem very nice and very laidback about the whole thing and they justwanted the product back so they couldtry and figure out where the mistakehappened or if somebody actually didlike you know steal a box off the back of a truck orsomething I don't know but I reallydon't think that's what happened I thinkit's just that the names were toosimilar March of the machine marched themachine aftermath somebody got them mixed up somewherealong the line and sent out the wrongboxes to the gentleman that I boughtfrom and he just wasn't in the know withmagic enough to know that it was thewrong set so I believe that's reallywhat happened along the wayI did take the videos down as you'veseen and anybody who's used my footageuh you'll probably want to take thatdown uh it isn't they are saying it isin some sort of copyright infringementthing uh so if you've used my footage or gotscreenshots with my videos or anythingyou probably want to remove that fromyour pages or from your sites they didask me to ask everybody to take thatdown nobody asked my permission to usemy footage or I probably would have toldthem you may not want to you know I wasuh you know uploading this stuff becauseI had it in my hands but you know I Ireally feel that there was no wrongdoingon my behalf or even the gentlemanperhaps that I got over them I could bewrong but I really don't think it wasstolen I think it was just a mistakesomewhere along the lineI no longer have the product thepinkertons took everything to take backto WotC so they now are in possessionof all the product they counted everysingle card and every single boosterpack I don't even have any of thewrappers or anything like that left theytook the empty boxes the empty packseverything so I don't even have a tokento show for my for my efforts there butum it has been a crazy ride the last fewdays the Channel's blowing up quite abit I got I doubled my subscribers sowelcome everybody newwe'll see it'll probably be a littleless drama going on in the future I hopeuh but I love the game I love the cardsand I just I really like opening boxes and seeingthe cards and it was kind of being areally old school because I started theday revise came out it was really niceto just open boxes and not know what itwas going to be in there like it was inthe old days before the internet beforeYouTube we didn't have that stuff in93-94 when the game came out we justopened boxes and like oh look at thisnew card oh look at that new card andthat was really fun I really missedthose days so it was fun to get torelive that and actually see a new setand not know everything about it beforeit came out I know I spoiled it foreverybody else but I I really enjoyeddoing that anyways I'm trying to keepthe video short I I don't know what I'vegone over what I haven't gone over couldI recorded this video a few timesobviously because it's hard dick andknow what to say and what not to say inthis type of situation and I'm stillkind of a little flustered abouteverything that happened this morning souh thank you guys so much for the viewsand welcome new subscribers andhopefully uh in the future things willgo a little smootherum I don't I've never had to take avideo down before and I have releasedstuff pretty early before but this oneobviously there's some extenuatingcircumstances I'll let you know ifanything else arises out of thatum butI don't think anybody did anything wrongand I don't think Wizards of the Coastreally feels that either uh they justthey're obviously a mistake was madesomewhere along the line and they'retrying to figure out where it was as faras I know so anyways thank you guys somuch for watching and we'll see you inthe next one uh talk to you later bye[/SPOILER]The second video where he talks about this where he's reacting to comments.[SPOILER="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjD5KeqZoEE&ab_channel=oldschoolmtg starting at around 5:50 through 7:35 or so"]everybody that's uh commenting how ohwhat a totally kick rocks or whateverI'm a big history buff and I am veryvery familiar with the history of thepinkertons so the second they saidPinkerton I kind of my jaw hit theground I was like really I guess theywere more mad than I thought they wouldbe invasion of Fiorait was intimidating it was a little alittle scary because my wife was also ahistory buff and knows about thepinkertons and some of the uhuh actions they are taken in the pastuh I won't use the word atrocities eventhough that's the first thing that cameto my mind anyways um I won't talk toomuch about it a totally Prime WillConquer this new flip card thereso you know we immediately knew thatit was pretty serious dudes we weredealing with and they were veryaggressive at the beginningthey did try and kind of force their wayin a little bit they did not actuallyforce their way in we didn't put a stopto that but they were being very forceful at thebeginning and it was very intimidating I did put myfoot down and demanded some respect in my houseand told me he needed to take it back anotch and he did so they did kind of chill out after theyrealized they were not criminals we werejust a couple and I'm just a YouTuber
