[DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks

[98ViperGTS]

Awesome job Matt. Beautiful collection of Beta Duals ;)

[thulnanth]

Hey Matt,

Nice job - glad to see how it's coming along after following your quest

A side note...

After seeing your cards and reading your grading of them (which is probably accurate considering your activity in the MOTL/MtG market) I have a better idea why I'm always so upset when I buy cards. I think I'm only happy if they came from the latest expansion - everything else seems way too "beat up" to me; perhaps I am too fussy these days (lol).

Take it easy,
Jared

PS - go ahead and crack... anything less than a 9 should be free and sleeved for all to see!!!

Occam: I've heard someone talk about a green-foil City of Traitors, and that there are only 5 of them in the world. Can you confirm this?

Yeah they exist, if you are talking about green textbox borders. You can see an example here:

http://www.magiclibrarities.net/718-...k--border.html

There are definitely more than 5 of those, as they aren't any rarer than the ones with other textbox colours. You can take that from someone who would profit from these being that rare.

@Sdematt: Nice duals, and the Scrubland you mentioned seemed worthwhile to me. In any case, I never sweat small margins on cards if the alternative means a lot more hassle and inconvenience.

Wow, these last two pages are mind-blowing. Impressive stuff, both Occam and sdematt. :)

(good thing I posted my goblin deck before they posted their collections)

Regarding Occam's Splendid Genesis / Fraternal Exaltation posted earlier... How much are these valued at, roughly? I've always wondered that!

Yep!

Anybody here has a 1996 World Champion? Please amaze us.

Roughly 2K on the Genesis, 1.5K on the Fraternal.

[Mr.C]

Wow, I've been a bad boy. I just bought another Beta Dual, but a NM Scrubland. Impulse buying for the win!

Now, I'm at a crossroads: I now have 4 Beta Scrublands, 1 Pack fresh, 1 NM, 1 EX/Ex+, and one BGS 7.5. I'm tempted to crack the 7.5 to play with, since it was so difficult finding a beta copies (I could have completed this months ago if I accepted Alpha, seriously), and I'd like to play them in my Rock deck. When I'm not using them in tournaments, I'll binder/slab them anyway, so I figure I might as well enjoy it when I want to, and slab it afterwards rather than being slabbed without playability. If it were graded 8 and up, I wouldn't, but I figure 7.5 is fine. I'll post a scan before I crack it, though.

Thoughts?

-Matt

You know my opinion. I shuffle my English Recruiters, and last I checked they are worth more than Beta duals :p

[Mr.C]

Quick question, is that Serindib the only one with that picture not counting the Arabian one? I recently acquired one that was white border (in Spanish or Portuguese) with that picture and was wondering about why it had the old pic on it. It's the only one I have seen that was white bordered with the correct picture and was not a Summer.

Yours is Italian. No Revised in Portuguese or Spanish, or else I'd have piles, and I mean PILES of FBB duals :/

[bruizar]

Recruiters aren't worth more than beta duals btw

[dahcmai]

I play with all my beta duals, but most I've had forever (bought at around $60 or so) so they have had some serious loving over the years. I only have one beta dual ( an Underground) that would be worthy of getting graded so I don't play with that one. It's pretty flawless so I would feel bad to nick it. A 7.5, I'd probably crack and use. I never liked having cards that sit and collect dust, though I have a couple that are just too pretty (and costly) to play with. I keep a Amithelaw, set of Beta, Arabian, p3k, Antiquities, and a few older packs in cases, but that's it. The rest get used or sold. Oh yes, I use those Summer islands I have.


And thanks for the explanation on that Serindib. I was wondering what it was from. Is it worth anything or common among Italian stuff (as common as any other rare anyway).

[sdematt]

Received the Beta Taiga and Bayou in the mail. So pimp :)

Sets completed: Bayou and Scrubland

Very nice Beta duals! I can barely afford the FBBs!, I can only imagine the value of all those Betas!

All Italian Serendibs have the AN picture, they're not expacially valuable. FBB ones are cute however

I'm going to have to get a move on. That's the only two I have finished also aside from Savannah.

How far are you on Underground? That's the bitch one. I only have 1.

[sdematt]

So far, 0/4 on Undergrounds. I have access to about 9-10 of them (either on Ebay or through people I know already), but I'm on a limited income at the moment. I think I'll try and pick up more shifts so I can finish at least the non-blues by the summer.

Also, I'm almost finished closing a deal for an Alpha Scrubland. Now I'll have five! This almost feels like a shoe-obsession with women, and it's quite relative. A Beta dual is about the price of a nice pair of shoes. I guess now I can't be the one to argue that she's throwing her money away. Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, pot. :(

Duals appreciate, shoes don't.

It doesn't help if I have to sleep on the couch. I know they do, she doesn't :P

Now's the time to do it. Before you marry. :p
