Magic: The Gathering

Yea people pay big bucks for those older sets/cards you gotta think some of them are pretty old now. People that play tournaments like them because I think they do diffrent rule sets like classic etc.

I've sold about $1,500 worth of old cards in the last couple months. I go through them every couple years and it's always worthwhile. I still have in excess of 30,000 cards after pulling somewhere in the neighborhood of $15K out of them since I quit playing in 2000.

Hrm I think SKYPE would be great for the MTG community. I played for a while back in 96-2000. And have a modest collection of cards sans moxes and black lotus. My favorite deck was a variaton on pox. I made a point to collect all the dual colored lands I could find.

Cashed my collection out for around $3,500 when I stopped playing paper in 2008. I had a Mox Emerald, a playset of Mana Drains, Playsets of all Revised Duals, Juzaam, Playset of FoWs, and pretty much everything you can think of outside of the 8 power I didn't own. In retrospect I really wish I had held on to them, since Legacy has become popular the dual lands and FoWs and stuff have doubled in price (I think people pay like $150 for a playset of duallands/FoWs now). If I were selling my collection now I don't think I would have had a problem pulling down over 5k for it. *sadface*

I've spent about $500 on modo since I quit playing in paper though.. M:tg like EverQuest are 2 of my ultra nerdy passions I'll probably never let go of. Both are still going strong 10 and 15 years after I started. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit: Lesson: If you have Magic cards that aren't garbage, especially old ones DON'T FUCKING SELL THEM! Two years from now you'll double your money, 5 years from now you'll triple it. I don't think the game is going away anytime soon.

Wait, people actually pay money for those cards??

I played beta through unlimited and have at least one full set of arabian nights floating around somewhere along with some of the older ones.

A full set of Arabian Nights is worth about $1800 atm. I would take good care of your cards if I were you, especially if you have any valuable alpha/beta stuff.

If I were rich id prolly own all the old sets just for the hell of it and keep them in binders nice and clean. Hell I might even play with them in protective sleeves of course. My favorite card art is prolly the Shivan Dragon, Juzam Djinn is pretty sweet looking to MTG has some of the best card art.
