Tfw I used to collect rare magic the gathering cards

I was in 7th grade when I first heard about it from one of my freinds who was mining it to buy vidyas. I wanted some so bad but I didn't have a computer.

realistically it's only the like 9+ graded Alpha Black Lotus and maybe some 10 grade Alpha Power 9 that are hitting $100k+ right now, and I'm not sure how quickly they actually move.

Although it's not entirely surprising considering how little supply there is of Alpha cards, only something like 1100 ever printed (of each card) and many estimate that roughly half of those have been lost/destroyed at this point, so like 500-600 copies in existence, and a good number of those are being held by actual collectors with no intention to sell, the number in market float/circulation is extremely low, especially ones in NM or better condition

I'd say it's popular primarily because it's an older game that has a lot of appeal to people born in the 80s and who grew up as kids in the early 90s and remember playing with the cards. Those people are now 30 y/o boomer nerd/tech types with disposable income and a lot of nostalgia.

I have a lot of these. How do I price them? Is there an app where I can inventory them by taking a pic of like 10 at a time and pull their data from an api? Fuck it ill make one

stop blaming your mom for your failures you Fucking faggot, you had other way arounds if you really knew about everything you are saying. If you really knew and didnt take action you are a fucking retard, but you are most likely just larping and pretending to be smart.

i think there's an app called "Delver Lens" that will identify cards by taking photo of them, not sure if it has pricing information though but you can check it out

there are quite a few valuable cards all through the years, even new sets usually have a couple semi-expensive cards ($20-50) and sets from 4-5 years ago have some ~$80-120 cards, but the big money shit is all from waaay back in the day like early 90s, 1993-1995 type stuff thats where you can find the cards worth $1000 - $100,000

You niggers better check out Gods Unchained

I was 12 at the time. There wasn't shit I could do besides study. And you didn't have to be "smart" to know about bitcoin. Everyone knew about it, people just didn't buy into it because the silk road and all that shit. The only people that didn't know about crypto were boomers and brainlets.

>sold all my first edition pokemon cards for $200 bucks on ebay when I was 12
>mom still tells people about it at any possible opportunity

They can print more.

same here, i had first edition Charizard an shit, I remember getting bored of them and asked my mom to throw up a Craigslist or Newspaper Classified Ad or w/e and some fat old fucker bought my whole binder for like $150 or something, probably woulda been worth $20k now or some shit, don't really follow Pokemon prices but it pissed me off.

>WotC won't reprint black lotus.
>China will print one for me.

Thank you China.

This. Magic cards are premined and they can just keep printing more. On top of that, they are centralized. Just look at the market cap for fucks sake. There's no way these will keep going up

Where do you get these chinese cards.

Thank you China.

Can you tell which are fake and which are real? Didn't think so :D I bet you think you can touch them and tell too. Hahah, sure thing bud. Love watching people get it wrong when they tell me they can tell which are real vs fake.

kek

have they been able to make undetectable fakes yet though? every fake i've ever seen has been obvious as fuck although i haven't kept up with it over the last couple years really

i mean if you don't care and just want them as proxies to play with (or potentially fool judges and use them in Legacy/Vintage events) then w/e but unless they're exceptionally good fakes you wouldn't be able to sell them to a serious collectors

It used to be shit like this was compared to beanie babies, now it’s bitcoin, mainstream media trying to frame bitcoin and crypto as a whole as a dead fad. FUCK THHE FUD

>It used to be shit like this was compared to tulipmania, now it’s beanie babies, mainstream media trying to frame beanie babies and pogs as a whole as a dead fad. FUCK THHE FUD

>tfw have a promo foil Aeons Torn

Except MtG has zero followers below the age of 35 at this point and will be forgotten. Just buy 1st edition Charizards instead.

what are the best resources for learning Pokemon prices? like is there an MTG Goldfish equivalent for Pokemon stuff?

Nah I tried getting my friend to play yugioh with me (we're both in our early twenties) but he's all about magic, tried getting me to convert. There's a whole circle of them in his town, a bunch of kids he went to highschool with used to play it all the time

Short answer is yes. But you have to find the right fulfillers. They all have their own techniques and I'd say 80% of the cards I've received were junk. 10% were close, then 10% are indistinguishable.

Way to blame your mom, that shit was expensive back in the day. She bought them for you, you spoiled little virgin

crazy, do you get that repeat 10% indistinguishable quality from the same supplier repeatedly? or is it always a mixed bag even from the same people?

have a site or name I could search to buy some good fakes?

You must not be American... you don't know how retarded some of our parents get. For reference, every time a new Harry Potter book was released, the school libraries would hold these huge events that the students had to go to during the weekly "Library Day," you know, to promote reading. No harm, right?

My dad directly contacted the school office and specifically told them I wasn't allowed to attend any Harry Potter events. When the whole class went, I had to sit alone in a room and read Where's Waldo books. My classmates made fun of me, one of them even said I was in a cult

>not telling your mum to fuck off.
>not at least putting them in a bank box

You have your self to blame, stop blaming your mother, pussy.

What the fuck is wrong with America lmao

Wish.com has many fulfillers. There's also individual fulfillers that are usually better if you can track them down. I actually don't have any of that information on hand right now for you, sorry. But you can find them yourself if you do some searches for that stuff.

People here have weird interpretations of the bible and Christianity, and make up all sorts of rules that they think are Christian but aren't even in the bible

cool thanks

are pokemon tazos from chips worth anything? I had a few hundred of those back in 2000-2002 but a classmate stole them all

I bought a 1st edition Charizard from 1999 in my native language last summer for 200€, now they sell them on ebay for 1100€.

I just bought a stack of 150 YuGiOh cards at a flee market for 3€ but nothing valuable in it.

Is there a ETF or Futures Market to invest in Playing cards?

I want to go short.

it will become the new currency of the world

My Mom did the same with me, but with pokemon cards, she threw them all in the fire place.. I can still remember my foils making a greenish flame..

She's dead now though, god rest her soul. My family is so fucked.

You can't spell fundamentalists without mental illness.

My mom never bought me any of them. My freind used to lend me his decks and I used to win rare cards. Fucking pleb.

Hmm, today I learned I have thousands of dollars worth of old magic cards. Specifically ive got probably 10 or so of those revised edition mixed land mana cards.

Can anybody tell me why they are worth so much? I got them just because they were cool looking back in the day.

wait what? I have fuckloads of mixed mana cards. Are they a specific run that was worth more, or am I sitting on literally a boatload of money?

Yeah Revised edition (3rd) and earlier. Dont crash the market bro, i need to offload my bags first.
