    Help - how should I spend this $5,000?

    We have some extra cash to put into my collection and was wondering what would be better.


    Some beta moxen and another lotus (I have 2 sets of Beta (one beat to hell for my decks) and a set of unlimited)

    or

    1-2% of the Alpha, Beta, Unlimited and collectors edition Icy's Print run many graded and signed for my Icy collection (from various online stores)

    Or more duals (I have a couple playsets no revised anymore)

    or $5k into other legacy staples so that the play group has more options for decks (atm I have a single set of LED's so if one person has them in a deck no one else has any to use.)

    I am really leaning towards the Icy's but the others are better then bonds for long term cash holding and I can actually play with them and are easy to sell and get my money back.

    'Round here, we use descriptive thread titles. Edited - HiVal

    I have percs and marinol they are much better.


    I think I may go with just a pile of non-modern staples and whatever graded/altered Icy's I can find. I do not really need any more duals or power

    Make sure you don't take too much, it might be detrimental to your health.
    I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums

    1) Invest in gold.
    2) Bury it somewhere safe.
    3) Vote for Ron Paul in order to divert Nibiru.
    4) Be disappointed Ron Paul doesn't win the race.
    5) Wait for Nibiru.
    6) Don't ask for advice from random internet people.

    Just buy 40 bottles of this and thank me later. Seriously Zacapa is the best thing money can buy.

    Edit: Sorry the Etiqueta Negra (black label) is only for the european market,but you can still buy the normal 23 years one.

    Buy 20 bottles of it, spend the rest on strippers, and thank me now instead of later.

    You're thinking too small.

    I do not find any non-reserved list card worth spending that much on. i own a single playset and a couple people int he group have 1 or 2 but we had a single foil and I sold that shit as fast as possible. Waiting on the dual deck of Jace, tms vs Lilliana of the veil. That is something I would pick up a whole case of.

    Ideally, you would want a low-cost, high-yield product. Something like, oh IDK Deathrite Shaman for instance. The difficulty is getting it to increase in value and then resell at the higher stock.

    I don't think this thread was created for advice so much as to display an ability to buy superfluous garbage.

    Alcohol is a drug!

    Oh, another thing you could invest in is hordes of small children, keep them in dog cages in your basement, and collect disability on them. That's a real moneymaker, I hear.
