i know your comment is a year old but i'd still like to comment'' most people have emotional value to those objects, and don't think about how rare or expensive those objects in reality are. someone could have owned a car that was cheap yet made in limited quantity for example. in their minds they bought it pretty cheap, had yeaaaars of fun/use out of it, and now that its getting to old to be of real convenience/use they sell it. they don't look at the car as an antique that could be worth alot because it stood the test of time and there aren't alot of them they just see it as an outdated thing from their past that has outlived its use, this is called emotional bias. in that same vein i've bought a playset of the MTG card Academy Rector (Reserved list) for 10 bucks total at a flea market, because the dude that sold it hadn't bothered to look up the price, but decided to price the cards from memory. (he had a wasteland for 20, yet 4 academy rectors for 2.50 a piece) but ofcourse prices change overtime, he didn't realise the actual value of what he sold me due to his emotional bias.

This is a video I think everyone should watch, regardless of which collectible game they play. This stuff is exactly what I deal with when buying Heroclix figures to flip on Amazon. Thankfully, Heroclix players are really relaxed and willing to meet you halfway. The big thing people don't think about is that suddenly bringing your whole collection to a LGS when you really need money is like cashing your textbooks in at the end of a semester. Everyone is trying to do it and the store only has so much money to allocate for the inventory. They likely don't want 10,000 of the same bulk common card. There's usually someone who will take a lower offer. There is a huge trade-off between value and convenience, especially in collectible games. I once traded 4 copies of Marionette Master to a guy when it spiked. He said he probably had the cards in his collection, but he didn't feel like combing through his bulk rares to find them. Well, years go by and the cards or figures pile up in people's closets. The people who keep their collection well-managed won't be in the $10,000 Timmy situation, because they routinely trade cards off to buylists when they go up in value. They probably take store credit to get the cards they want, without investing extra cash. They might even use store credit to pay for the entry fees for all of the events they play at their LGS. 5 or 6 years of set rotations can decimate a gaming budget. I play Magic and Heroclix in a few cities. The people I deal with are usually pretty chill, but they rarely trade face to face and few bother with buylists. They also want to get as much money as they can, when the time comes to sell their collection. Magic is far more fair to it's players with getting your money back, especially because different cards keep spiking every week or two throughout the year. You could play for 20 years on the same $500. I doubt it's the same with other card games. I know that with Heroclix, most big stores offer next to nothing for bulk. It's not even worth it to ship the figures, because of size and weight. I still have at least 10 players waiting to sell to me face to face, once I free up enough space to take more figures. Players of these different collectible games often get frustrated and list the whole lot on ebay in an auction with a fuzzy picture. Those are the best deals for stocking up. It's like that TV show Storage Wars. Most of the auctions are Lil Timmy lots, but the College Timmy lots are real game-changers. I'm still selling Heroclix figures I got from this auction I sniped 4 years ago. I might have paid 10% market value. Most players would get a lot more for their money, if they became pro-active traders. My advice is to watch a ton of auctions and snipe a good one here and there. Trade/sell to buylists when your cards spike. It might take a few hours a week to keep up with prices, in the beginning. Eventually, it will become second nature. At least, you'll be better at appraising your collection's value for when you eventually decide to sell it.

Many friends or peers at the LGS often talk about collection values, investing, flipping inventories, etc. and this video does a great job of outlining how to better think about the real return on card values. I've been collecting forever, mostly out of love for the game, but when I turned to serious collecting out of value, a walkthrough like this one would have been super helpful. Thats all, thanks!

You know, back in my FNM days, there were guys who always wanted to trade lots of their small-dollar cards for a fetchland or something big. They'd have trade binders inexplicably full of playable-but-unexciting 1-5 dollar cards, nothing big you could 1-for-1 with the card of yours they want. People would pull out like a dozen cards from these guys' binders, check SCG prices, and agree to pick up a fistful of three dollar rares their fetchland or Jace or whatever. It always seemed like these kids were getting screwed out of their best cards, but since the trades "made sense" according to price lookup tools, we all went with it. Now I see what these guys were doing.

I think it's like how people get so into television shows that they start to identify themselves with the show so to speak so when something happens they don't like they feel their own character and investment of sorts has been attacked. It's those subtle little ways we fool ourselves into thinking things matter more than they do. Its easy to conflate self worth with what your dollar amount in cards is if this game is your main hobby and part of your identity I think. That's where all the emotions come in when the reality train hits them.

What is funny is that I remember thinking about 'collection value' when I was starting to play more seriously and just realized I'd never get my money back out of it, so I better enjoy the game for just the gameplay aspect of it. I never got a 'serious' collection, I just got what I could and made decks from it. When I slowed my playing, I wasn't interested in selling my collection because I'd rather have the ability to play my old decks occasionally rather than get a meager amount of cash I could get from my collection. Now my 'meager collection' looks like a gold mine, a dozen dual lands, a couple cradles, sure my oath of druids went to garbage but my 6 force of wills skyrocketed. I am still not interested in selling, $10,000 still seems like a pitiful amount to exchange for my very personal and hard won semi-valuable collection. The bottomline is that i found far more value in my collection than the dollar amount. Everytime i drop mind over matter and a high tide, play a wish from judgement, make someone fold first turn with a balance, play necro braids, or play my block constructed domain deck and legacy weapon their land away I love seeing their face. It just can't put a dollar amount on evoking that blast of memories of when I was super into magic.

Sealed product is probably the target. You'll dodge a lot of the problems that the video mentioned. 1. Product is protected and by definition near mint 2. They HAVE to take your bulk because its bundled into the product 3. Much easier to itemize than singles if you need to make an insurance claim for some reason The main drawback is that sealed product takes up a decent amount of space and is a bit harder to liquidated
@ino_mation
@ino_mation 5 жыл бұрын
There's no way sealed product takes up more space than loose bulk when you consider what you need to store loose bulk. A 500ct bulk storage box from BCW is 4.25" x 9.875" x 3.25" for a volume of 136.4"^3 while a booster box is 5" x 8" x 3" for a volume of only 120"^3 Now yeah, you can use a bigger bulk storage. A 5000ct box for example is 15.625" x 19" x 4" for a volume of 1187.5"^3 or 118.75"^3 per 500 cards. But, ten booster boxes is still only 25" x 16" x 3" if you're making a section 2-wide, 5-back, 1-high for a volume of 1200"^3 Keeping in mind, in a booster box, we have 540 cards, that's 5400 cards still in similar volume to a 5000ct bulk box. The value of 10 booster boxes is also way higher than a 5000ct box of bulk, even though it consists of whatever % of bulk.

I love these videos, and I find the whole buying and flipping MTG cards to be interesting to watch but I always just laugh. I buy packs and decks here and there, sometimes a booster box if I'm feeling fancy. Sometimes buy singles I think are cool. Never really gonna sell them. I imagine my collection falls into college timmy levels but like, no desire to sell, I buy cause I like playing. NO card of mine will remain NM for long lol. I feel happier that way lol.

I played with all my revised dual lands. Most of my collection is vintage stuff, and I'm sure I spent more than 10k. It was never about resale, but about enjoyment.

I remember when you did this video like 2017-2018 when I was in the US for some training. I am actually a Pokemon collector and I used to buy low-tier cards thinking they would value, which they did, yet not as much as the other, reachable at that time, high-tier cards in Pokemon. I am applying your analysis to my purchases since then in Pokemon. Thank you, sir, I can see how honest and sincere you are, and how you can relate to how life can be not easy for some people. I hope you stay well and healthy Rudy :) Salam from Egypt :)

I think ogre Timmy exists. Dealers complain when he shops his stuff to compare offers and force buylists to come up. Ogre Timmy knows quickly if he'll deal with you and is very upfront/ honest, especially with preferred vendors (often asking preferred dealer if they are interested in matching a better offer even if that better offer is of equal risk).
