Seems like whoever put them on the shelf knew enough to take out the rares and mythics, but had no idea that they've still left a treasure trove there. Amazing video, Matt!

[@MattcasterMage]

Good point! Good thing they didn’t have extensive knowledge in the game

[@regaleagle6533]

The player could have easily quit long ago and sold off the rares.

[@VinnieKielbasa]

@@regaleagle6533 And found a buyer for all of them, even the bulk, but didn't sell staples?

[@regaleagle6533]

@@VinnieKielbasa “staples” aren’t cards that always held value. Noxious revival was worth what under 2 dollars 5 years ago even less further back. I know multiple folks that dumped all their rares when they quit and had a box of bulk uncommons and commons sitting around 10 years and then want to dump it. Doesn’t mean they want to carefully go through it and see if anything became valuable.

[@doofusmccookie4430]

I found a long box in a thrift store in portland like 3 years ago. The cards were not minty but it was $7 and there was an academy rector and an opalescense plus a mirri's guile and a ton of fun stuff

[@joshuaruth6648]

This reminds me of when I worked at a DI thrift store. I used 2 5$ employee coupons on a 10$ box that had a selesnya shockland in it. It made my day.

[@RW77777777]

so many influencers gloat in their videos about the worst lowballing possible and their huge profit margin off of some guy who obviously REALLY needed the money "I just took some guy for 7k worth of spiderman comics and got it all for 250$!$!" I just don't watch after that. I don't know how anyone can be a collector, and do that to someone with the same hobby passion. good on you

Just the opportunity to go through a random long box feels so good. Definitely worth it. Love it

Nice to see someone who knows alittle more about the commons and uncommons of the mtg sets, instead of being clueless.

[@MattcasterMage]

Thanks Anthony!

[@sams6098]

Congrats...I think I enjoy these vids the best. And yes correct you are it's surprising some of the bulk commons/UC that gain value over the years. Hopefully you find more finds in your future thrift store hops. Cheers

[@MattcasterMage]

Yeah! I wish I could find these all the time.!

[@22781dave]

Awesome find! Great value in it. Thank you for rolling the die at the end of the video. I actually shouted out: "Roll it! I mean, who picks up a die and then just carefully sets it down?!" right as you sat it down. You must've heard me. That, my friend, earned a sub :) Cheers from the States.

[@coachesmagic2886]

Good sub, you going to like the market mover series, Mattcaster has some great info. Roll the Die!!

[@szupko]

This is great! I don't recheck all of my card prices very much and these videos help me look through some of my older binders. Thanks!

[@alexandersepa3037]

This is neat! I found a long box at my local value village a little while ago in NS and it was full of revised commons and uncommons! really cool to have older cards from mtgs history

[@vaughnbocchino]

I've had a lucky experience twice. One box had a Snapcaster and a handful of $2-3 multilands. Another had a revised Demonic Tutor that had literally been bent in half, but hey, still plays the same. Each box was about the same, around $8.

[@phoenixkid5688]

I pulled a Triumph in my 2 myster booster boxes, had no clue it was that good and almost sold it with my bulk of cheap uncommons and commons. So glad I kept it

[@wademiller2376]

This drives me nuts, my value village is corrupt. They take all valuables out and that would be forty bucks in the display... Happy for you though! Also we have full time people that hit the thrift stores multiple times a day... I see them almost every time I'm out

[@MattcasterMage]

I know! Sometimes I see stuff like this that is marked up or behind the glass. It really depends where and when. Certain people who put these out don’t care about the value. But some are sticklers

[@Vok250]

All that oldschool bulk would have made a great retro Innistrad cube. Jealous of that find!

[@lightmode6557]

One of my relatives used to work at a thrift store. One day they got a longbox with cards left there. He didn't know how to price it so he gave it to me as a christmas gift. It contained 2 Damnation from planarchaos, 10 simian spirit guides(at that time they were 5$) and lots of fun bulk from that block

[@blakmajk3512]

There used to be, but we got no thrift stores where I am anymore. Great content, Matt! 👍🏼👍🏼

Unlucky! I love thrift stores for stuff like this

[@AoiKami]

I have never in my life seen a single magic card at a thrift store and I used to go to like 7 thrift stores a week for years.

[@burningtendrils]

Looks like the Value Village at Woodbine! I've found some INSANE mtg donations there, likely because of the proximity to F2F there are more people getting in and out of the game in the area.

[@MattcasterMage]

This is absolutely true!

[@ryanhansen9779]

At thrift shops in Washington near Renton this "Find or found valuable cards" is just a myth that I'll no longer believe or spend time on. Goodwill there won't accept cards, the DI doesn't get them in, based on policy, St. Vincent De Paul seems to always have had them a few months ago but someone already bought them, etc, excuses, no cards at all. I think someone would be lucky to Find MTG products outside of a card shop or Big box retailer like Walmart or Target near Renton. Which is exactly why I just follow the safe plan of Buy singles at your LGS. I've used well over 60 hours looking for thrift shop gold, with nothing to show, not even a single common card. Done

[@dustinburns4550]

Can't wait for my big box buy to arrive there too you :) , looking forward to seeing some real spicy cards.....I was looking back over urza's block cards there's some real hitters in there, my guess is the box is like 3 or 4 of these long box's in one, should be alot of fun :)

[@dustinburns4550]

I have also noticed your knowledge of older cards is alot higher than mine, you can scan through them alot faster and reliably than I can......I usually have to lookup every card I don't know, wich is most of them in the sets over 10 years old.

[@Malao558]

Really goes to show the power of the uncommon. They’re not usually much to write home about, but if you know what to look for there’s a ton of uncommons that hold significant value.

a buddy of mine found a play set of the Portals 3 kingdoms set at a Goodwill. Another friend found a lion's eye diamond, mox pearl, and candelabra at a store that sold them for 10 cents each because they thought they were commons, it was a retro game store, and they didn't know anything about mtg. this was around the time of the 1st Innistrad block.

It pays to look through your bulk/common box every few years. 3 years ago I found a card in my common box I cracked from some packs of Saviors of Kamigawa I won at a legacy tournament forever ago. I had forgotten I had the card entirely until I saw it and I recalled being super annoyed that it was a foil crappy rare, at the time. Now I have an unplayed NM foil Oboro, Palace in the Clouds which sells for about $400-500. I also have a friend that tossed out a nm playset of Mishra's Workshops because he was in a rush to pack-or-purge when he moved out of his parents house and tossed some boxes of commons, one box of which had his Shops because he was too lazy to put them away properly a few weeks prior.

[@ca.b.92]

Best lesson I learned from "recheck your old cards": I played MtG a bit when I was in School, back 1996-1998 .. never really got big into it, as just had money for some booster packages and starter decks back in time. While corona pandemic I dug out my old cards, because a friend plays, and I thought it might be nice to build a deck again. So, we went through my cards (he has a bit of experiences in cards and prices), and I was sure I have nothing of value.. I had some 5 to 10 buck cards... mostly just that stuff everyone had back then.. and we already where joking about "Nothing" of value when there were some nice cards... well.. the joke was on my, when in one of my stacks my old Lion's Eye Diamond was nicely sleeved. I never used that card, due I never had a deck around "have a full hand in the cemetery" mechanic... So I never really thought that big of the card as a more valuable card.

One time about 8-10 years ago I bought two 700 count boxes from VV & got a Taiga & Maze of Ith as the spicy stuff. This summer was at a VV in the GTA area and bought about 10 boxes in varying sizes from small, to 700 count to long boxes. They had those plus Yugio all on a shelf behind their showcases. I bought the Magic. Was tons of foils, foil full art basics, foil tokens as well as tons of other mostly bulk stuff incl bulk rares. Most of the stuff was from Double Masters, Moder masters and products like that. I think I pulled a few $10 uncommons. But nothing outrageously good. But was a lot of fun to go through. Spent about $50 I think on the stuff. Made my money back for sure
