http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Lotus-...item3f2cb75620
another one same seller, 1k
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Lotus-...item3f2cb74d8b
looks like people need christmas loans.
Scams. Both images are from other auctions and anyone who owns a 9.5 Beta Lotus can get substantially more than that buylisting it to Starcity/etc.Quote:

Not sure if the pics are from other auctions; but it looks a little too good to be true in my books.Quote:

But Mini1337, it would complete your set of power even if it's not Unlimited.
I can vouch for the asking for trouble. I do this regularly. I do announce which land it is when I play it though. I have a set of signed Korean ones I swap in for big events.Quote:

Cashed out on magic. Kept my MUD/Stax stuff though. I hear litecoins are the latest craze amongst collectors. =]

Moving house. Box one. Yay. I should scan in my Revised set before I move too and post it.
Nothing says 'pimp' like rows in a digital database. Good luck with the internet security thing.Quote:

4) Sell NMC after the price hike
5) Watch the inevitable crash while holding no positions
6) Buy when the market stabilizes
Enjoy

MTGOX = A magic shop that didn't make enough profit. The owner changed it into a stock exchange for Bitcoins which ultimately became the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.

Nedleeds, do you know the guy Shawn Lyons? He plays at my local shop now. I think he used to play at Atlanta. Oh, and nice cards.Quote:

Does uncounterable Hydra have trample?
He does with his tag team partner russian signed Craterhoof Behemoth ...
My package today was oozing with goodies.
Picture sucks, but its Russian foil Karn, Japanese Foil Kozilek/Ulamog, Russian foil Deathrite, and Russian foil Liliana among others.

Got these guys signed at GP Toronto. Don't have a full playset unfortunately but i don't plan on running 4 any time soon. One of these will live in my cube forever until it proves to be too stupid, or they make foil ones.

I know I'm probably not worthy to be posting in this thread, but I wanted to ask you gentlemen a question or two about pimping. First off, how should I start? In general, not on any current projects. I have a bit of a fetish for signed cards if that helps.
pimping is in the eye of the beholder.Quote:

really its all up to you however pimping typically follows one of those themes.
half the stuff in here while i respect cause its valuable i don't like. I dislike foreign cards and signatures. I enjoy very few alters. I do however enjoy betas and foils. I need 4 foil mistys to finish my playset of foil fetches. while some wouldn't really care to much about it others would.
How do you start? Save your pennies. Seriously. I don't drink, smoke, rarely eat out, etc. This adds up to where you can get the stuff you want. I have little expenses and an okay job. I just save my dough until I can purchase the stuff I want. TIP: always have rainy day card money. Worst thing is when you buy cards then someone needs cash and willing to sell stuff for cheap, and you have none left to spend.Quote:

Won some stuff on ebay, I'll wait until they're in to make another pimp post.
You can start with Signed/Altered English or foreign Non-foils, that's a good start. Prices of foreign foil/fbb/beta versions of older cards are getting out of hand lately, mostly because they are being collected and you never see them again in circulation, unless you have a really deep pocket if you know what I mean.Quote:

I guess it's time to throw my hat into the ring.
