Re: crimped cards

I have quite a following of younger children that all will "worship" me at the cardstore, hehe. I will ask the little army if any of them have any crimps, they will spread the word like wildfire ;-) If any of them have them, I will trade/buy all of them that I (and the servants) can find. I have no ...

Re: Collector's Edition

Hehe, Thanks Again Lord_Of_Llanowar I like the first one a lot ;-) You can tell it's the lowest because it doesn't have 'MTG' or 'CE' or 'Collectors' Edition' in its title. I love auctions like that.... You would be surprised the number of mis-spelled and vague titles out there.... I once saw two To...

Re: Collector's Edition

Hrm yeah... that sounds right.. I'm still waiting for a response from Pirusk, in the past he has usually given me better deals than I would find elsewere. Back to Alpha/Beta's prices.... check this auction out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3146252844&category=19115 Currently $7...

Re: Collector's Edition

Back to the topic of collectors' edition.... The auction for the sealed box, which Lord_of_Llanowar helped me out with :-), was at $63.00 recently (last night). I checked today... and look! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3146247987&category=49189 $365.05 !!! With only one more bi...

Re: How big of a threat?

Hrmm... when I started the post I completely forgot about non-magic cards still related to the game, like minigishi's. Makes sense I guess :-( l0qii: Congratulations on your site as well! :-) I have visited it a few times before making this thread, hehe. It is very handy! Also... (to l0qii and other...

Re: How big of a threat?

sylvanstu: Hehehe... yeah.. those ones that you see through are great... but just dumb, lol. The hardest part to fake is the back of a card, the cheapest fakes are just those with stickers and items glued or printed over the old cards. Thus, they are a bigger threat. A new test I thought of is quite...

Re: Collector's Edition

Ahh.. Much Thanks Lord of Lord_of_Llanowar! I have seen the last two auctions, but it is the first one you listed that makes me happy :-) It is so far cheap with the amount of time left... However.. most likely it will rise way up at the end, and not-so-moneybaggs-me won't be able to afford it. One ...

Re: How big of a threat?

Hrmm... very interesting. Lord_of_Llanowar: I didn't tell people how to do it. Anyone would realize a printer, software, and glue would be involved. There was a reason I didn't post publicly "blah blah do this step one, blah blah step two".... I mean, I trust all the members of this forum. But remem...

Re: Where members are living.

I'm from right near the capital of Michigan (Lansing). Our best card store in the Lansing Area (The Fortress Comics and Games) has been around for a while, and is still thriving. A few other, less cool ;-), stores have closed up in the last 3 years here however. For a short time, a store near me was...

How big of a threat are fakes & counterfeits?

Hey, I was just inquiring about the "threat" of fake Magic cards. I mean, we all know they exist, and most of us have probably seen them... but I am wondering if any of you have a figure or an idea about how widespread they are, and how many sites and auctioneer's are tainted by this. I have seen a ...

Re: Collector's Edition

Ah.. thanks for the advice. I am talking right now with a friend I have from Spain, some of you may know him as "Pirusk"? He posted on the old MTG Rarities Forums as well. Hopefully he can help me out. Still... thanks much for the info. I will try to find one fast! (yes, old alpha's and beta's are g...

value of Collector's Edition

Hello, I am not truly new to this forum (no flames!). I was originally "tea man"... and was here back when the old forums and site were in use... but I quit Magic for about 8 months due to lack of financial stability... and now I am back :-) Ok... on topic. I am looking for either standard Collector...
