i hear you man. Started playing in 94. In high school we even had several teachers who played in our group after school. I've got a massive collection in storage that needs to go to a new home. Hard to list something whose value could purchase 8 to 10 A list pins.

Don't run away. there is a reason the game is going strong after 24 years!

Hahah Fallen Empires, 4th Edition and Homelands.... there was a collective "well, Magic was fun while it lasted!". Thank goodness that Ice Age was a solid recovery at the time. Will never forget my best trade in college. Shipping a booster box of Ice Age to Italy (where they didn't have any) for a return box of Italian Legends.

No way man, it was all about speed.... Duals with Kird Ape, Flying Men and Scryb Sprites, + Beserk/Giant Growth/Blood Lust + lightning bolts haahaha.

Or the people that destroyed Collector's Edition cards to create proxies. WTF. I guess that makes my sealed Collector's Edition and International Collector's Edition boxes worth just that much more!

WaddleJrJr (or anyone else), I have a MASSIVE collection of legacy/vintage stuff that's been sitting in clean, climate controlled storage for years (literally have not played for more than a decade after I had my son). We were going pretty hard core in college, with 2 of my close friends ending up getting their degrees and going out to work for WotC still to this day. I then hit MOTL pretty hard for its first couple years, opting to collect full sets and redeeming them for factory sealed ones (I think I have somewhere near 40 factory sets including complete foil sets!). So I have everything from Power 9, to a complete 40 dual land playset, to a mint Arabians set, to multiple complete sets of everything from Revised to Kamigawa block, binders of signed cards, etc. If anyone is interested in acquiring this massive horde (i.e. like $40K just in high end rares and complete sets alone), send me a PM. Wouldn't be opposed to a deal involving pins either. It needs to go to the right, motivated person.

M:TG is VERY popular in the UK. Check with a local comic book or gaming shop. If they don't themselves carry the product or hold tournaments they know who will. There are a number of instructional tutorial videos online that teach you how to play, and break down the cards, their functions, and the process of game play. It probably took me a few days to get going back in the 90s and that was before anyone really understood the game, and once you're hooked, the game is AMAZING as both a casual play, a serious tournament play and a collectible. Many different formats that allow a new person to compete and have fun, just as someone with an unlimited wallet.

Oh yeh, there is some MAJOR MAJOR $$$ in the early run stuff between Alpha and Revised, with several dozen "staple" cards in the decades following also fetching high dollar. The number of cards worth even $50 or more has probably gone up 10-fold in the past few years. What I love is that cards from the mid 90s that absolutely sucked being suddenly turned into a gold mine when some bizarre card comes out on a new set and someone makes the connection to something 10,000 cards ago that function together. That's what makes this game so great is that just when you can't possibly think there are any new ideas for mechanics or something, they create an interaction that brings new fresh life to older sets.

A couple low value rares but I really don't see any monetary value here at first glance. When you're putting basic land into 9-sleeve pages, well....

Sylvan library is your big card. With Ball lightning and brainstorm and a few other smalls, maybe $30??

Any vintage collector's here? I've started selling off my 1993-2004 collection a few weeks ago, and forgot about this thread! Will also consider trading for pinball I haven't begun to inventory the singles, but there's a decent amount of A/B/U, UL, AN, AQ, LG, RV (like 70+ dual lands LOL), all the way through the mid 2000s . Ideally would like to move as many full sets as I can first since they're the space takers.

Thousands of singles beyond the complete sets. Going to take a while to inventory, but if someone is buying full sets and has some specific singles they want I'll honor those lists. Amazing how much product I've already moved and it looks like I've barely made a dent!
