Counterfeiters suck, they mostly target newer cards because older cards are basically impossible to fake. Mostly what we deal with is people rebacking old collectors/international edition cards but if you know what you’re going doing even those can be easy to spot, sometimes the glue job is bad but it’s always missing the true core and will fail a bend test. Long story short, the only people really getting hurt by counterfeiters are you average players that don’t know any better and not the scumbag investors like myself. Super lame.

I wonder whatever happened to my green deck from 25 years ago...

If the cards are really 25 years old there’s a goodbye chance you’re sitting on 4-5 digits.
Did you own any of these?





Or cards with rounded black boarders like this on.



If you think you have any of the above it’s absolutely worth your time to take a look.
And like I said above, I’m always buying.

I had a fucking plague of those llanowar elf cards.  So many.

I have no idea what happened to my deck, could be buried somewhere at the folks, or just plain gone to time.

I remember a lot of those cards you posted.

Does the value of the magic cards have anything to do with the way they are "played " in a "game" (never played magic)

Or is the value based on rarity and aesthetics?

Reserve list cards are the most expensive and investable out there because they were printed 25 years ago and are part of a list that Wizards of the Coast has agreed to never print again. The reserve list includes many cards, some are more playable than others and therefore cost more. Cards outside the reserve list rarely reach much beyond $100 a card because reprints kill value of the cards as tens of thousands are hitting the market. Most collectors agree there are only 500-600 cards still existing in the world of any given alpha/ beta rare making them highly sought after and investable even though many are illegal to play with anymore. In fact, the most expensive card out there, Black Lotus, is banned in all formats people actually play, it’s just iconic for being the best card ever printed, even if you can’t play it.

Do people still compete at magic?

I mean is there some rich jerkoff buying all the best cards and whooping tournaments asses?

I really have no idea and I'll end up looking it up on my own but I'm with you if it's a hustle that makes money

I had friends that played 25 years ago for sure I remember going to card shops around the time South park came out (I was young) and they were selling "collectors" magic cards even then

You can buy a $5000 deck and lose to a $16 it just depends what you want to play.

People still compete at magic all he time, we have pro tours, worlds, and Grand Prix.
The three major competitive formats are standard, modern, and legacy.
Average standard deck costs $200-300 but rotates after two years
Average modern deck costs $1500-$2000, never rotates but depreciates value due to reprints.
Average Legacy deck costs $3000-$5000, never rotates and always increases in value do to secondary market investing.
The difference in formats comes what era of cards are allowed and provent someone like me from sitting down across the table from some kid who just bought a $20 and making them hate their life.

But at the end of the day, if you’re playing magic, you’re going to be spending a lot of money, everyone does so it’s not like anyone can buy an advantage became everyone is buying in.

If your honestly interested in investing in mtg and doing your own research check into Alpha Investments, a very valuable and entertaining resource, also, I’m always happy to help; if you couldn’t tell I enjoy talking this sort of thing quite a bit.

I'm ALWAYS interested in ANYTHING that makes money

Especially if I don't have to break my back all day, flipping cards/guitars/whatever is easier than climbing trees

In all honesty I can see how someone could use their body to make money and come out unscathed mentally, I'm not one of them

I would do without and maybe even die before I committed certain acts, especially criminal (which you said not to include)

I could never be a pimp, not to a woman or a man

Its a funny pic, nothing meant with it other than "you may say you'd do anything, but someone may call you on that in a way unanticipated." like in the pic, and voila :smile:

I totally forgot I owned a webshop selling Baja Hoodies :lol:

I imported from mexico and sold in Europe. Made a couple €k profit per year.

Quit the shop a few months back cause I need less things in my life.

Traded my leftover inventory for a new surfboard

Ran the shop for 3 years. Whenever I forgot to close the shop for travels and whatnot I sold the most :facepalm:
