1993 STORYTIME = Peter Adkison gifts Alpha Starter Deck & Booster Pack to RON {co-worker @ Boeing}

[@billstead9253]

I remember having the opportunity several years back to buy an alpha starter but instead bought other vintage stuff ( sealed legends boxes, collectors editions, etc ) --- I did not mentally process that even though those things were incredible, nothing, absolutely nothing, is alpha sealed, other than possibly idk, a black label black lotus that hasnt even happened yet theoretically in a sealed alpha pack. Great story!

In the end Alpha is #1...but other items you bought does bring more abundance and thus joy...

What a day!!

[@joshuahoops9430]

Provenance doesn’t get much better for some sealed alpha products then this that’s for sure but you didn’t show the sealing with Ron unless that was just done privately

It's so cool how Magic started out as a game that attracted these high-IQ types of guys. If you want to know what's going to be huge in 5-10 years, just pay attention to what the nerds are interested in today.

[@vintagemagic]

[@ibanezleftyclub]
