I have received APAC and Euro lands unopened. I think I am going to open them, won't lose much in value but at least I can enjoy them:

Small story: The first time I saw a pimp deck it was "jeffisridiculous". It was not in a pimp thread but in a tournament report for something that was still called Type I back in the day.
The year was 2003 and this deck won a Mox Ruby, mostly thanks to Tinker/Masticore (I cannot find the report anymore...maybe it was posted on TheManaDrain). I liked that silly deck and I liked that somehow it won.
I like it to much that I decided to make my own copy of it. Back in the day I lacked the cards but I still put something together
I was working toward completing it slowly but immigrating to Canada I ran out of money and I had to sell all my cards to eat (including the Beta power).
I always thought that one day when I would get back on my feet I would complete a "jeffisridiculous". It did not take me long to do well in Canada but I never took the time to complete it until today.

I may mean nothing to everybody else but this is a small personal victory which represent recovery after hard times. I never knew who was Jeff. I wonder if he is still around. And now much of an inspiration it was for me to keep on moving forward.

@nedleeds,

How much (trade or cash, whatever) was the Beta Nightmare? I haven't really found one I like enough to throw down for it yet; outside of an occasional Ebay listing, I only ever see people wanting way too much for them.

Was delivering an Alpha Time Vault to a buddy and decided to suffer through 4 rounds of cantrip: the format



despite the top decked judgement I won this game ...

How do you guys afford these cards? Is everyone pretty much purchasing them through eBay or are people trading for them? I am looking to start collecting some pimpish cards but i wanna make sure that it is affordable. Any advice please.

As the planeswalkers get dumber and dumber Eureka gets dumber and dumber.

A lot of people here either:
A) Make enough that they have a lot of discretionary income
B) Bought in a long time ago and leverage the cards that have gained substantial value over the years to purchase Pimp

The best place to buy pimp was Magic Online Traders League (MOTL) but it is largely defunct now. Generally, the best places to buy are MKM (Magic Kard Market, Europe only), the Facebook group High End Magic, or at GPs/large events.

Incredible story. I'm happy that you finally made it! You just needs few more improvements. Well done.

That's a gangsta story. Reminds me of the realest songs I know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RubBzkZzpUA

Trolling aside, congrats dude! Nice looking deck.

sir, you have overpaid for your Sundering Titan.

This photo is an eye sore... None of your sets match and those foil hundies remind me of pokemon cards. A true pimp would have posted matching Korean bills.

So I just received a beta bayou that I recently won in an auction. I am a little concerned though because I have never dealt with higher end cards like this. Can someone let me know what they think of it.
