I play MTG a few times a year with old friends.

King nerd I suppose!

I quit buying or trading for cards when they changed the design layout to look like Star Trek.

That was a big turn off for me as well. There was no need to mess with the look imho.

Made $3500 off my rares and complete sets when I was getting ready to move a few years ago. And I still have a trunk full of playable decks... but don't know any players anymore.

Since only nerds know of this game, one has to wonder what that makes the OP.

Also, he is spam posting on an emulated Everquest forum.
That's like mega-ultra nerd. It is legend.

Look pal... Actually I don't have a come back for that.

Sold all my cards last year for 2,400.00 to some guy on craigslist. And he drove from 2 states away to get them. =D

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.
