My buddy was at out LGS recently and a guy said, "Do you want to trade for a foil Scalding Tarn?"
My friend said sure but he didnt have too much of value. The guy says I think the foils are around 40 because normal ones are 25. And this is how he ended up with a 100 dollar foil fetch land by trading 40 dollars of crappy EDH cards... I wish people would walk up to me and offer me bargain deals. He also got a 20 dollar foil deathrite shaman the same way...
My other friend traded a few bonfires for force of wills as well... I hate my luck.
I guess this was a bit off topic, but while we were talking about foil Zen fetches...

But hey, probably I'm the one whose mindset is wrong.....
but making money with mtg is so much easier than on the stock market.
why didnt you pick up the fetches when they were still cheap? i did so, so i dont have any problems ith marvin hoarding a few fetches.
there are guys out there who do it in a much greater manner.
itīs up to every person what he or she does with his own cards.
you still can go with nonfoil or damaged stuff
Exactly. Power to anyone who wants to horde pimp, they just make my pimp more valuable. Now if Marvin had 200 non-foil Zen fetches, it might come off as a bit greedy, but it's his money, he can buy what he wants. Why does it matter if it's Marvin or Starcitygames.com?
100% agree.
plus: this is the pimp thread for gods sake, whining has its place in the bitching about reprints thread, period. this conversation is fully off topic
to be honest, i have 20 misty rainforests, yes, but i only have 4 mesa and 8-10 flats
Im not hording them dude.
I use more then half of them in my decks.
I know people who have hundred of each
Im just pimping =P
And just sayin, whats with the guy with the hundreds of guru lands??
Yeah I invest in the stock market. Each quarter I get an earnings report telling me how much money I made...that is not much fun. Winning with Magic is a lot of fun. My problem is I prefer to diversify. Once I obtained my foil play set of foil fetches I moved on to collecting something else. I would guess you view my collection as a complete waste....they are in an Ultra Pro album just for me to look at. I even have cards encased in acrylic slabs that are in a safety deposit box. I play mind you, but I tend to play with non foils. They will likely be reprinted in a few years. It's not like they have been out for over three years...so they have...where does the time go?
Well as the old adage goes; pimpin' ain't easy.
You don't need to possess foils to be able to compete in older formats. Normal cards work just fine for me.

Welcome to the forums, You're off to a good start. Keep the pimp coming!
I have at least 12 of each nonfoil zen fetch land. I need more because I let other people borrow decks and it go too hard to switch back and forth from modern to modern and modern to legacy decks.
