Re: what do you collect
In addition to older, "fun" cards, I also am the proud owner of over 200 Fyndhorn Brownies from Ice Age :-) Such a silly but fun collection.. no stores near me have any brownies left!!
Re: what do you collect
I casually collect sets, I have most of a beta set, about half an alpha, all the expansions up through tempest, when I stopped doing this, and a handful of others that I thought were worth doing.
I collect all the promos and other weird stuff.
I collect unopened packs, but that's mostly all english and a handful of foreign ones. And again this stopped around Tempest, except for a handful that I thought were worth keeping.
I also collect the card Kudzu.
And recently I started collecting old magic advertisements. This is my current focus. It's a lot harder than you think!

Re: what do you collect
I collect misprints of all sorts. I chose this hobby because it's always an adventure--you never know what you're going to find. :) It's also a good investment since you can usually pick up misprints locally (or on MOTL, etc.) quite cheaply. The filler cards and pre-release cards do pose a difficulty, though. I don't make sets or collect promos, or anything like that.
Re: what do you collect
Mostly anything old (IE Alpha-AN) or weird (IE misprints) but I also have every card Quinton Hoover illustrated (except the best one :-/ ) and about 320 Dark Rituals.
Re: what do you collect
too bad there is no one list that has everyone's address and what they collect. I could dump so much trash.
Re: what do you collect
I started a near impossible task when I started in Magic the Gathering during 4th/Ice Age. This task is still ongoing and incomplete as of today. What may you ask in my project? Well it is to simply have a pack mint card from every set and every expansion (English and US released) every printed. This also includes all promos, foil and non-foil. I completed the first set of foils (Urza's Legacy), but decided to stop after that. At 3 sets a year, all my gaming budget $$ would have to get poured into MTG, and I decided against this.
I have everything complete except:
Alpha Mox Jet
Alpha Mox Sapphire
Foil JSS Giant Growth
Foil JSS Two-Headed Dragon
Foil DCI Argothian Enchantress
a few random 8Ed cards I still need (not in a hurry here)
About a 1/3 of the rares left of Mirrodin to complete

Re: what do you collect
I only collect summer magic cards at this time.
I'm particularly interested in the more playable common summer magic cards.
I don't have exact count, but I have about 25-30 summer cards now. This is nothing compared to some magic rarities members, but it's a start! I really picked an awful magic rarity to collect $$....
I used to collect alpha/beta/and other oldies, but stopped acquiring them.

Re: what do you collect
I notice there there are a few Giant Growth JSS auctions happening all the time now, including http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... gory=19115 which is not too bad for a relatively new card (and there are 2 of them in this auction). It should help close one of the holes in your collection.mintcollector wrote: I started a near impossible task when I started in Magic the Gathering during 4th/Ice Age.

Re: what do you collect
Thanks for the info, but I am waiting to get this card and the 2-Headed Dragon from a source I get cheap JSS cards from. At the price I get them at, the wait is worth it. I just need to note that they are missing from my sets.silver.paladin wrote:

I collect Deranged Hermits...
12 non foil (including 1 Portuguese, 1 miscut, and one with extremely dark ink), 2 foil
I also collect other squirrel cards, but not as much.
Re: what do you collect
I´m a plain normal Promo collector.
I just want to get each only once. At the moment I´m missing
Japanese JSS V.Hammer
JSS 2headed
JSS Giant Growth
DCI Argothian Enchantress
and being bored I also started collecting the Beta set but at the moment I´m concentrating on the Beta P9 (only Ancestral missing and swap Alpha Jet for Beta one) as I think they will go up in value faster than the other cards.
And I used to collect Lord of the Pits and Leviathans as they are cheap to obtain and are just plain cool :)
So if any of you has any cool Lords or Leviathans just drop me a line (but not the normal ones, I´m missing some foreign wb ones only)

Re: what do you collect
I collect things outside of MTG, but sticking to cards, I collect:
1 of every card from every standard English set in NM/M condition. I'm about a year or so behind mintcollector & probably not quite as strict as him...but close.
I still need Legends, Unl, Beta, Alpha cards to finish those sets. Mirrodin & 8th too, but hey.
Also included are Alternate 4th (I have 201 diff. cards & am getting more) & Summer (a pipe dream). Misprints too, I have so many I want more.
Alpha Playtest/ LD/ Gamma cards. I have a bunch & of course want more.
And getting to the goofy stuff I pick up:
Frozen Shade
Phantom Monster
Urborg (a legends land)
5th edition Marsh Viper
8th edition Death Pits of Rath
The above quote Edgar A. Poe!
Lower priority:
Wall of Putrid Flesh
Gaea's Leige (for a friend)
Nettling Imp
Serra Angel old artwork
Granite Gargoyle
Anything old school- I dig the T1 stuff
I won't even start on my record collection & rock & roll memorabilia....

Re: what do you collect
Well the only thing I really collect is Ornithopters. Â I have around 930 of them. Â Trying for 1000 by Christmas. Only English one I am missing is the Summer Magic version. Â
