$2500 for everything plus two eldrazi temples not pictured. Mostly paid buy list prices. I think it was a fair exchange and convenient for both of us.

Bought some cards tonight from a friend getting rid of most of his insane collection. Took a lot of restraint to limit myself just to this...

I know it's impossible to tell from a scan, but just for fun, what would you guys grade this Beta Lotus using SCG's grading scale of HP - MP - SP - NM? Also, what would you value it for insurance...

I know it's impossible to tell from a scan, but what would you guys grade this? How much should I value it? (I'm not interested in selling, but just for insurance purposes)

11 months ago I bought an Alpha Black Lotus from the owner of a local card store that I've been going to since I started playing magic in 1994. It wasn't a cheap purchase. It's in great condition....

It's gotta be old boarder. First choice is Guru - preferably signed. Then Alpha/Beta. Also love the Euro and Apac lands.

Wow, taking a loan out to buy power! I hope the investment works out for you. I'm fortunate that I started collecting power back around 2001. I paid 100-150 for most of my first Unl Moxes. Paid...

LOL, so true!!

According to Star City Games, these three cards are worth a lot of money...

I'm a little late to the party, but I recently noticed the price jump at SCG on their Lotuses. Alpha lotus went from 10K to 20K since I last checked. I had expected it to go up from what I'd been...

My advice would be to get as many power cards as you can before Vintage online goes live. I feel that's going to lead to a lot more interest in power. Even just a relatively small increase in...

I feel like it's worth noting that NM Alpha Lotus is up to 10K on SCG. First time a non-misprint, card has reached that level in retail pricing as far as I know.

Before internet prices, mtgfinance, and smartphones it was possible to make some seriously epic trades. I can't even remember all of them but a few pop to mind. A lot of these have turned out much...

Because Wasteland is now $130 on SCG...

A Wasteland Story:

I've had the same playset of wastelands since about 10 years or so when I picked them up for Type 1. When wasteland first came out...

WTF... That was one expensive-ass craft-day project gone south.... It's amazing someone that stupid could actually acquire 10 beta duals in the first place.

I run a beta Guantlet of might in my mono-red Dragon EDH deck. :) Actually it's probably the best card in the deck. Something about having that plus Beta Shivan Dragon in play feels very rewarding.

This should be a disaster. I predict bad reviews devalue my Alpha Lotus.

Thanks. Ironically the Unl Ruby gets the most action these days as I have it in my mono red Dragon EDH deck. My T1 deck is pretty much in hibernation as no one around me plays Vintage anymore. I...

I've been playing since 1994 and have been acquiring power since 2001. First was an Unl Mox Ruby that I still have. Yesterday I finally got an Alpha Lotus. I paid through the nose for it, but...

I have been playing magic since 1994 and played T1 tournaments up until 2005 when they ceased to exist in my area for various reasons, pricing and the local store unwilling to allow proxies being the...

Yes, I should have qualified that.

And I'll also add that I don't think that people having double or triples of individual power cards is the problem. Owning one from each set is not hoarding. ...

Had a feeling someone was going to say that :) The scene was long dead before I ever had more than one of each power card. The problem already happened in the early 2000s when all the power got...

Alpha lotuses are getting kind of difficult to find...

Very nice on those BB duals. Are the Unl cards for a set?
