Selling Summer Magic (Edgar), P3K & Original Duals on eB

[Keevy Bogsbury]

All this talk of spouses, kids, others, etc. not knowing the value of - or not appreciating - mtg (or other) collectibles makes me wonder just what is going to happen to all the rarities out there when their owners pass away. I can only imagine how many incredible collections may end up stuffed in a closet for decades and ultimately thrown out.

That's why you have to leave instructions in your will and only then explain to your spouse/significant other about all the money you spent over the years secretly building your awesome collection (aka their retirement fund)

Or simply write "Don't sell all my games and comics at a garage sale!!!"

This thread prompted me to finally start an index of where in my collection the bigger money is for my wife and kids. Starting that felt a bit morbid, but having seen hapless sellers nearly giving out collections, protecting the money invested seemed prudent.

It turns out to be useful for insurance also. It also never stops amazing me how much some of the cards have increased in value during the last 18 years.

I had also been slowly putting a Perfect Fit-sleeve on some of the harder to find or just expensive legacy, vintage and promotional cards, with a flexible cut-off around 15-25 $/card and for any and all minty old cards from my older sets. Beginning of this week I counted I need another 85 packs of the sleeves... and the time to sleeve all those cards.

That's a good problem to have

I was worried about my cards ending up in a rummage sale or sold to a scamming dealer, but also worried about the mrs knowing what I paid for them. My solution was to put a list of the contents and approximate current value in the safe deposit box. I also included the names and current contact info of a few players and dealers who I trust and would be able to provide the mrs with accurate pricing. Hmmm I should include this sites address too

... like the pharohs of old

The size of your pyramid could indicate just how big your... collection was

Take it easy,

FYI My OP has been edited to state that Graded cards in link have been reduced in prices. I also have another set of Revised and Ravnica Dual Lands up so good luck if you bid.

Remember I am always open to private deals with people from these boards. I still have a few more duals and could put together good deals if requested.

Thanks
