I know Rudy has a ridiculous amount of graded stuff, but haven't seen videos of his showing much sealed product older than Revised. Either way, I think that he would appreciate the rarity of opening anything Legends and prior a bit more than this guy does. He just seems to have gotten really lucky and bought some warehouse where a lost stockpile was, or has more money than sense and bought out some major investor's stockpile.

Heh, 3 of my pre-release promos have been Hollow One. I am now on the "Hoping It's Busto In Older Formats" train.

Don't really want to buy any Bazaars, though ;)

I can't imagine any kind of scenario where that card would be remotely playable in a competitive setting when looking at legacy or vintage.

Casting this of a bazaar vs starting dredging with bazaar? I know my pick. Workshop decks don't play any discard at all and all their cards are superior. The tier 12 legacy fluctuator deck wins of labratory maniac, so this wouldn't improve their kill condition.

Where do you think it will be played? Certainly doesn't seem like a deck is going to be created around a cheap to cast 4/4 without board impact?

Would sell em before they are 0.10$

Just buy some currently weak land with a unique ability if you want future value. My horizon canopys haven't let me down.

I don't think it'll be played, joking about making the best of bad promos.

It might actually have a shot in Dredge if the miserable Thorn/Misstep meta gets busted up. It's worse than dredging, but it's also a free 4/4 that isn't threatened by ANY of the typical dredge hate that players are forced to dilute their deck with.

Alpha investments has a TON of old sealed product. He puts up sealed boxes in his backgrounds all the time, and shows them quite often. I know he's got arabian nights, antiquities, legends, etc.. pretty sure he has a few unlimited boxes somewhere.

Yesterday, Star City hikes the price on blue Dual Lands.

Today, new Pro Tour stuff is announced... with a Legacy section.

Hmmmm.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

"What an odd coincidence!"

This isn't the first time SCG has had inside info if that is what happened. Whatever a modern PT and a team PT with legacy as part of it is a nice change of pace.

Sorting through a few thousand cards to sell for a friend. This is night one of scanning.

Could be good, but depends how much of it are modern/legacy staples that you can easily move. Sure you can fill up an online trade binder full of 2-3$ junk pretty easily, but actually shifting that kind of crap is a nightmare.

It's going to be a nightmare.

Like here is a pic of the lands I sorted so far.

Yea a good bit of that shouldn't be too bad to get rid of, but all the middling shit like Mosswort and Vault of the Archangel and shit, while technically worth a couple bucks each, is just such a pain in the ass to try and sell.

Yeah I am going to do a valiant effort for all the $5+ and anything below that I will put very minimal effort into.

Everything below $1.50 will be bulked even if I there is 1000 cards at $1 it's not worth trying to sell them all.

Once I get 100% of it sorted I will post up some spreadsheets of it all. Everyone on here I will sell to at buylist prices because I really don't give a shit about how much I make. I am doing this guy a HUGE favor and he has no clue what it's worth or not worth. He just doesn't want his closet full of it all any more.

He has a lot of sealed that he thought was going to be worth something some day.

The first binder I went through was 90% cards under $0.50 and no rhyme or reason for why they are in a binder and not a bulk long box. He just liked them in the binder.

Yea shoot me a list whenever you're done, I'm missing a couple of fetches and a ton of random like 2-5$ C-tier modern cards like Gavony Township etc.

If you are sorting it anyways, you could spend a day selling all the under $5 stuff that is left over to a site (I suggest cardkingdom). You'd be amazed how fast those things add up. On average, they had the best buylist prices across the board. The only sites that ever had better overall, tended to have issues with making payments at times.

I once went through and made a couple grand just off mostly commons/uncommons that had been sitting in boxes.

I wish I was local, I'd do it for you for a cut, shiiit.

Also, what sealed product does he have? Sealed booster boxes DO mature at a very good rate, for 90% of sets anyways. Alphainvestments makes videos about that all the time, even doing comparisons to stock market investing and how it's better most of the time.

Nothing old on the sealed, mostly Commander.

Is there some kind of software you are using or so?

I want to sell of my collection, which includes basically 1x every T1-T2 legacy deck + few thousand other cards.

Its going to take me years if I sell them on magiccardmarket but I don't want to lose 10-20% on the collection. Something to speed up the process would be very welcome.
