Magic the Gathering: I Won An Auction With Cards From 1994-1995! Was It Worth It?

[@JosephJamesScott]

Good luck selling those cards for what that app is listing them at. Also, when I was opening cards as a kid, the absolute worst feeling was getting a lace card as my rare. I'm sure there are decks that can make that useful but the only people I could see shelling out the list price for a lace card is a collector that wants to complete a set.

Yes i know, if i were buying these mainly for money back i would have reconsidered. When i buy cards at auctions it is manly to grow my own collection!

The chances that buying bulk cards from an auction is worth the money are so slim you might as well fly to the US and look for garage sales. TCGs are so culturally integrated that even toddlers are collecting them. I dont even bother with auctions like this anymore.

I get your point, but i still love the exitement when it comes to auctions with the older cards. I also bought a bulk of 7500 newer cards for 100$, where only 15-20 cards was above 2$, so i really see what you mean!

That's a good way to rip off a few suckers. Just put a "collection" up for auction, come up with some BS text like, "I found this in my uncles attic and I have no idea what it's worth." Put a few piles of cards on the desk, sprinkle in a few 10-20$ cards from pre 1995 on the picture and enjoy people fighting over worthless bulk, which all the other cards are going to be. Those auctions almost always are scams.

Yeah i know, but i will still be one of those suckers! The main reason i am buying is to expand my collection, and here in Norway there is not a very large market of old magic cards..

[@MagicSondre]

What I would give to be able to go back in time and buy those packs!
