White bordered 3d and 4th edition European starter decks

Post by mystical_tutor » Mon Sep 08, 2008 10:22 pm

For about 12 years now I have had a pile of European Starter decks on one of my shelves--thinking they were BB. After using the informaiton on this site I find that they are all white border---sigh.

Any market for them? I suspect the 3d edition ones would bring a little premium because of dual lands but what about 4th? I have 2 of each language in 4th and 2 German and 3 Italian in 3rd.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Hmmm. That's a tough one.

Could you please make a list as I am a little confused as it seems you have quite many.

I'm very interested in WB Japanese 4th starters (mainly because I want ONE GIANT GROWTH, isn't that sad?)

Agzz. Sorry, I do not have any WB Japanese 4th edition that I know of. In fact it is the only country I do not have a 4th edition starter deck from.

In the US, everything that is outside the United States is exotic. Hence, Europe is exotic, Japanese is exotic too :-D

I'd say 30 € apiece (that's $45 when the $ is high, that changed a lot lately).

I'd like one of each, and I am sure that Mark (berkumps) would like one too. Don't know if the price would be good for him, but I can try to call him today (he's in France right now).

Let me know if this price is agreeable to you.

Sigh, I will not be able to do anything on this before I have to leave. Thanks for answering my question as to if there is a market or not. I didn't really list them to sell them but more to know if they should be used for a surprise sealed deck with my friends or put in the vault.

We can work a deal when I get back though. Maybe you have found me a PSA 9 set of Portuguese 4th Ed BB or a Black Lotus in Polish <grin>.

I should have told you that I was not believing in father Christmas anymore :-)

Just checked a Spanish website and the BB 4th is sold 750 Euros there, to give you an idea...
