dang. I should dig out my cards and sell 'em apparently. ;)

i was thinking the same thing. I have a big stack (in boxes, of course) of cards that are pretty much mint. I didn't think there was really much of a market for them anymore. :)

no kidding. I think there might be a tub of cards back at my parents' place from ~15-ish years ago.

(eesh, has it really been that long!?)

goddamn, why the f*&! did I put them up on ebay in 1998?

make the big bucks

for those with decade old magic cards, this is the time to sell! The reason for the good prices is that there is something called "legacy" that makes cards from older decks worth something. I just made a very good payday.

Here's what i did:
Went to cardkingdom.com to look up pricing and see if i had any valuable cards. In the Revised set (those from '93 and '94) the 5 most valuable cards are these hybrid lands - which i shockingly had 3 of.
With that knowledge, I went to Pandemonium in Central Square and they actually gave me a very good price.

I walked away with $210 (almost all of which came from the land cards, though about $25 for a half dozen others), and I'm still shocked.

Clean out those memory boxes!

Huh, wow, I only see one (Volcanic Island) that looks familiar, but just that would be worth finding out if I can find where mine went.

Get it?

We have a Power Sink card up on the kitchen wall next to the switch for the garbage disposal -- but it's getting kind of ratty. I don't suppose you have a small stack of those I can squirrel away so I can replace the card every few years until the end of time?
