You better sign out, and sign back in. Don’t forget the proxy. Or maybe you can strongarm your mom’s phone from her, and simulpost. Big brain!

@Novak we need to strongarm mom's phone. Only tagging me so I remember in the morning. Don't forget to clean up the cheetohs @ursamajor girl left on the floor.

I think your mom would settle for you picking your drawers up off the bathroom floor, and not drinking milk from the carton. Get ahold on that first, then worry about picking up your Cheetos and Hot Pocket trash you’ve piled up, while on one of your complaining-about-the-coloreds seshes on 4chan.

Baby steps, Grimvak, baby steps.

I played in the 90's. I still have all of my cards, but nothing new it is all the old original stuff in played condition.

I do not think that I have anything too fantastic in terms of ultra rare cards. No lotus for instance.
Ive looked up about 200 cards so far. About a dozen in the $10-$15 dollar range. But I did find one of these:


Too bad it’s not foiled, or it would be $170

NICE! I didn't know there were other collectors here. I'm somewhat of a collector myself.

Well my kids play, and I’ll play with them sometimes. When everything was closed during the height of the Pandemic, we started playing more games at home. So the only Magic cards I’ve ever bought were a couple of starter decks. Magic Cards, a set of Crisloid Dominoes, and Backgammon board, etc.

These cards (two paper boxes worth) were given to me by an acquaintance at work. I gave him a hand moving, (he’s transferring) and he asked me if I wanted his cards, and some other various shit.

I’ve been looking up the cards here and there, since then. Not counting $5-$10 cards, I’ve found over $600 worth so far. I’m not even 10% through them though.

Are newer cards marked rare uncommon etc?
Yeah, the set symbols have different colors, for common, uncommon, rare, and mythic rare. I’m only looking up the last 2 types

I had to look up the sets I have/played way way back in my boomer youth.

I stopped playing/collecting around 96/97 as Mirage/visions would be the last expansion set I bought any of. I must've started sometime in 93/94.

That was obviously before anything was marked in rarity. I still think that it is funny how the difference between alpha and beta was simply the cut of the corner of the card. Some kids back in the day would trim their cards down to make them look like alpha cards for trading purposes.

A friend was into it back in the day. I never really cared, but bought a bunch. Newest I have is Ice Age/4th ed stuff. I got them to play, but at the same time some of the best strat games on PC were online and RPGs were really in a golden age, so if I needed to get my nerd fix with games, video games had me covered with a lot less clean-up.

Glad it's still going. It dies off and rebounds a lot (seems like at least), but shit, if I can cash in my stock on a rainy day, I'm all for it.

It’s been like panning for gold. But after a while, the excitement of finding decent valued cards, fades. Since the last photo, I found about a dozen more in the $10-$30 range, and another $60 card.
