Some pickups from Phoenix. The Sea is Matt's.
I didn't find much that I was interested in, so this is a lame post compared to my normal GP pickups.
The workshop completes my set.

The basic lands are foil MPS lands. Plains is Time Spiral, Island is Zendikar, Swamp is Lorwyn. I might switch them all to Time Spiral though, because it kinda sucks to have 2 with mana symbols and one with big honking "MPS" in the text box. The ones I'm currently using have the artwork I like best from the MPS sets. Well, maybe not the Plains. I think it's very unique looking, so I stick with that one.
The SoFF is from the sideboard.

Cards I did own but traded away:

Savannah (to England)
Tropical Island (to USA)
Volcanic Island (to Canada)
Scrublands (owned 8 total at one point...) - To USA
And I lost one Beta Taiga.
Kind of sad it's all coming to an end. This is not a "look at how much I spent," but more of a historic musing over how prices have changed.

Can you post up a pic to show us what $180 could once buy?Quote:

This set was a lot harder to put together than I thought it would be. I got 3 about 2 years ago, had one lost in the mail from ebay, and I finally tracked down another to complete the set.

What to make of this? The year says 2003, but IE is from 1993...Do Beckett make mistakes like this?

Not super nice quality but still puts me two closer to a set of power. Missing the lotus, jet, pearl and twister.
Hate you right now. If I did this, I'd look insane. However, I'm probably going to complete my set in 1.5 years, compared to your long term 4+. If you want that 4th sea, let me know ;)Quote:

I am currently missing Stifle's, Brainstorm & Misdirection and Lightning bolt (JR) Foils and the way prices have been going, I am sad that it will probably be left that way. EE's have been coming in post and 2/3 of Pithing Needle's have not yet arrived neither. 3 Grim Lavamancers are still on their way too.
Well yeah, nothing too impressive, but I like the deck, should probably change inner sleeves on Brainstorms, Fow's & Stifles, they look filthy!
Cheers,
Jani
With the inclusion of the Forces, I'm finally happy with my deck:

Stack of German blue fetches came in. I'm pretty excited, since Miracles is *essentially* done now! I'll post pics later tonight.

matt, how close are we to the full 40 beta beauty shot? im eager! ;D
I'm just trying to find a Sea in nice enough condition for the right price. There's one I know I can get, but the condition is too played.
It'll be quite soon :)
-Matt
I'm pretty close to my own money shot too, but I think you'll beat me there (your duals vs my deck). :)
ANyway, these are island/swamp combinations I was considering before deciding I had better. The foil miscuts are a repost, just a better scan. Any love for these?

Guru island has an inverted symbol. Don't think the swamp exists.
There's been some awesome stuff on this page. Occam, love those miscuts!
I finally got the rest of my stuff from SCG. All I can say is, definitely take credit over cash. With this pile, I have $100 in credit left:

My first pieces of power! I'm pumped. Close-up of it and the Alpha Sea I posted last page:

Also, with these duals and a deal I just finalized, I have my 40! I have at least one FBB of each.

Nedleeds, I think I may never give up that Scrubland.
Click through for higher res.
I still have a bit of work to do, but this is my current main deck. No, I don't own a foil Ponder.
