Cool chain of events. Glad it paid off for you.

All I have is a 1991 Todd Marinovich Rookie Card. I took at it to a card shop and the owner said if I paid him $10 he would throw it away for me. Big Grin

LOL. Yes, but the resulting transaction would cost me a wife, so I'm going to have to pass on that deal. Wink

That is pretty awesome. What a cool story to finish a pretty crappy week.

Thank you for sharing that!

I got into it around the 4th edition set. I still have all of my cards and playable decks. I know they are worth thousands, but I still don’t think I’d sell them. My wife and I still play occasionally.

I have a killer fun red/green land destruction deck.

I’d be scanning them all in and making a home made deck from the scans and be selling away.

Man I really need to find my collection.

I had a few hundred MtG cards but those were all cheapies bought for a specific purpose. About 25 years ago my friend was almost suicidal when his girlfriend left him. For about a month I would play MtG with him in the evenings to take his mind off of the break-up. I was rather fond of the Redwood Ent cards. So that was my brief stint with MtG. As an instrment of distraction MtG served its purpose.

Because I had owned a board game called 'Arabian Nights', and owned the Richard Burton translation of 'The 1001 Nights', and some translations of Ibn al'Arabi, and Mansur al'Halaj, and Rumi I wanted to buy a deck of the Dervish Edition for sentimental reasons. Even back then the Arabian Nights deck was spendy. Too spendy for me then and now.

OP, enjoy and make the best use of your boon wealth.

Seriously considering that. Not a big eBay fan, so I'm wondering what the best option to sell would be. I went through them last night and found out I could have at least a couple of grand worth. Cool
