[@tommitchell8829]

All of them are beautiful….very nice Jürgen …..very nice look back at some heavy hitters

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

thanks, tom! appreciate the kind words. looking at then collectively, it was a productive first half year 😁👊🏻

[@Flexy-b0y]

Looks great to having those cards next to each other 😁

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

hey lex! yeah, it was quite a ride during the first half of 2022 😁👊🏻. dank je wel! op naar de rest van het jaar 😜

[@Flexy-b0y]

@@NerdAndProudOfIt Ik ben ook benieuwd wat het jaar ons brengt. Ik moet helaas op lager pitje gaan doen qua investeringen.

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

@@Flexy-b0y ja, snap ik heel goed. ik doe ook veel met ruilen of ik verkoop eerst delen van mijn collectie (lego, statues, comics…) om mtg terug te kopen. zomervakantie met de familie komt eraan. kosten van alles zijn gestegen, niet normaal! dus tweede helft van het jaar wordt ook rustiger voor mij.

[@hoila4718]

What's the percentage of completition of your UNL set?

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

puh, i don t know. i miss a lot of commons and uncommons, but i have most of the power 9 and a couple of iconic rares. all in all i would say maybe 50-60% with some heavy hitters out of the way 🤔

[@tarahumara681]

i like the way you are speaking relaxed of theses things so expensive (for me) i subscribed...

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

oh, wow, you found an old vid of mine, there 😱! glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻! thanks a lot for the sub, appreciate it a lot. i hope you like my more. recent vids as well. got a timetwister a few weeks back, which you might enjoy checking out 😁

[@keithshaffer5975]

Good recap. Makes me want to go back and see what I’ve done with the year with cards. I am enjoying the recent dip! What % (roughly)complete is the unlimited set?

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

hey keith! thanks ☺️! it s always good to look back sometimes. let me know what your first half of 2022 looked like, once you had a chance to look back. i would say 50-60%. i got a lot of heavy hitters out of the way and miss many commons and uncommons. i need to just order the cheaper stuff one of the days to get that out of the way.

[@coachesmagic2886]

Stay healthy, stay frosty, and stay focused ;-)

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

i should include that from now on, coach 😱😱! love it! 😁👊🏻

[@ChaseEagleback]

Those are some beautiful cards there. I’m glad I’ve been along for part of the quest to get them.

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

thanks, chase! looking back, i was quite a productive first half of 2022 😎! glad as well you ve been along for the ride, buddy! thanks for being part of the nerd quest! 😁👊🏻

[@thomashitz3040]

Very iconic & beautiful cards that you have here. I purchased an UL volcanic island & UL Mox emerald (both LPL) & Candelabra (Ex). My biggest project for this year is the following: I will be auctioning two gamma playtest cards (ancestral memory (recall) & time walk, cgc graded) at heritage auctions in August and hope to transform them into a black lotus (UL, maybe Beta). Depends on the outcome of the auction :)

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

oh wow, thomas, that sounds awesome! i do not really know the story of these cards, but that sounds like an incredible auction! 😱. good luck with that! and i got the lotus, just need to reach 1000 subs to finalize the trade 😱😁👊🏻

[@thomashitz3040]

@@NerdAndProudOfIt Thx. Whish you also luck and patience to reach the 1000 subs. The story was simple. Purchased some ungraded playtest cards from a very well known person of the community (the misprint guy) via ebay in 2019, because I liked the historical background of playtest cards. At this time such gamma playtest cards were not yet graded by any grading company. Then in 2020 I let these two cards grade by cgc (I still own the other gamma playtest cards and will keep them in my collection). Then in 2021 I realized that the value of such cards had increased by several orders of magnitude due to the grading (you can call it luck or the cards came to me and not the opposite -> nerdism :)

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

@@thomashitz3040 that s an awesome story, thomas! very cool! hope the auction will go well! sounds like you have a very cool couple of unique pieces of mtg history there! thanks a lot! patience is not one of my strengths, but i hear it s a virtue 😂😁👊🏻

[@jovdam]

That's pretty deece for half a year Jurgen! Groet uit Australie

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

hey jo! wat doe je in australie!? 😱😱. thanks, it indeed is een goede eerste helft van 2022 geweest. veel focus, veel verkocht, maar dan kom je ook ergens 😂.

[@jovdam]

@@NerdAndProudOfIt Woon en werk hier... alweer bijna 15 jaar! Eind van het jaar terug naar NL, misschien om te blijven. Precies, tegenwoordig moeten we verkopen als we willen kopen!

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

@@jovdam wow, klinkt heel cool. lijkt me een fantastisch land! maar toch ma’ terug naar het mooie NL? 😁. ja, moeilijke tijden op het moment. zo ma’ kaartjes kopen zit er niet meer in.

[@Daniel_B373]

Great cards! hopefully you can get a workshop later in the year, ive been working on my AN set quite seriously this year, got most of the heavy hitters! feelsgoodman :)

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

hey daniel! very cool! how far are you with the set? yeah, i need to work on it more seriously as well. i think i ll get all the cheaper one’s out of the way soon and i already got most of heavy hitters except the workshop, so let s see 😁👊🏻

[@Daniel_B373]

@@NerdAndProudOfIt Im saving up for a Bazaar right now, then I need some of the middle ones like old man of the sea and such. Its a fun projekt :) very expensive but hey :D my plan is to try to collect a antiquities set after. Gonna take time but im in no hurry

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

@@Daniel_B373 very good, daniel! love to hear that! old man is an awesome card! and focus is key! i always say to my wife that other guys go to the bar twice or three times a week, to the football stadium every week or to the casino. that costs a lot of money. so what if i have a little cardboard addiction 😜😁👊🏻

[@ricardojnobre]

A question out of context: would you prefer to buy a certain card in excelent condition from Unlimited or in played condition but from Beta?

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

personally i would go for excellen in unlimited, i think. what would you go for, ricardo?

[@ricardojnobre]

@@NerdAndProudOfIt I agree with you and I have been doing that but maybe for highly playable cards it makes sense to go for not so good condition Beta... I wonder...

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

@@ricardojnobre i know what you mean. it depends on the price as well. inwas looking at an unlimited forcefield for 800 bucks in very good condition, but i also saw a beta one in LP condition for 1200 bucks. i d probably rather go for the beta one in that case.

[@sandrostrapazzon1307]

Amazing cards! What a show off lol! I can say I only have one of the 5 cards you showed off. I've been far to busy with work lately to watch many videos, I'm going to have to play catch up this weekend. I have missed a lot of videos these past few weeks, but such is life. My first half highlights have been an unlimited plateau, a revised signed badlands, a revised savannah(which completes that playset) and a field of dreams.

[@NerdAndProudOfIt]

hey sandro! no worries, life happens! glad you found your way back to check out some vids, of course, but everything in your own time, no worries! hey, your first half of 2022 sounds pretty amazing too! 😱 a couple of duals and an underworld dreams are awesome! don t feel obliged to hang out, buddy! always happy to see the regulars around and comment, but only as long as it is fun for you. if you re busy at work i rather have you watch a vid when you can enjoy it, buddy! 😁👊🏻
