The Magic Librarities

I've seen Revised boosters with 3 rares per pack. I also remember something weird with Legends packs having too many rares, but  I don't remember what it was. I don't have any sealed anymore, but both were sold in the Rochester area, and I remember everyone stampeding to the stores to buy them ...

I keep a decent stock of common/uncommons, but I've also been known to cut them up and make things out of them.

It's not like this is the first time they've increased prices. I believe the original price of a booster pack 10 years ago was $2.45, and a starter was $7.99. That's just how inflation works. It sucks indeed. But I also haven't bought a pack from a store in a long long time. I buy boxes online, or I...

I used to know this, because I remember it happening, but it's gone now. I think they switched to 6 at Mirage.

But I live in a cheap apartment, am single, & can afford the cards I want by buying in bulk. I'll buy out huge collections, skim off the top, & sell off in pieces to break even. It's the only way I know how! This is what I do too. It's the only way I can justify spending so much money on this stuff.

I'm a computer programmer for IBM. I work in research and development designing and writing prototype software. Basically IBM pays me to sit around and try to make computers do new things  :D This gives me a modest amount of money to dump on things like magic, but I also waste it on a lot of ot...

Instead of a CD everything, how about a picture on all my mint power 9?  That way many people can see it. I was considering a public gallery like this, where people could post pictures of the best parts of their collection. In addition to being fun to drool over, it's actually really practical...

Last couple times I had things framed the framer asked me if I wanted UV glass or not. I did get it. The point being, a good framer should inform you of all your options.

My impression of these is that too many of them are showing up on ebay these days to be legit. I'm considering starting a dutch auction of 500 of them for $1 a piece just to kill the hype :P

This is rediculous and I hate seeing people waste their money on garbage

Mine would have to be a rejection letter for a job at WOTC signed by Peter Adkinson.  

I'm such a loser.

I like this one!
I wish I had one of those.

Ah, I do not (yet), but am close friends with people who do.

Yes if I can actually own the issue myself that would be a lot better than having a scan.

mintcollector: I'll send you a private message

I assume, you mean any art that we own and are willing to sell? I have the original sketch for Puffer Fish by Heather Hudson, this is not the finished art, but a b/w pencil sketch identical to the art. I wasn't planning on selling it though.

I0qii: This advertisement was printed in color in an old issue of the The Duelist magazine.

I'd love to have a good scan of that, along with the issue and page number it apeared on. I'm sure both versions were printed around the same time?

Mine is either this ad which is worthless, but I love it, and it's extremely rare. or my first deck, which I still have, which is a goblin deck, all black bordered, no cards newer than FE, no sleeves, and I still keep it in an old beta starter box. I like it because it's already beat up, so I don't ...
