It can give you a rough idea. However, AH seems to be off lately. Especially when it comes to cards for modern.

You would either need a small collection or a lot of time for that, with the 40 card limit.

Unfortunately, any price guide that takes prices off of the last X weeks/months of eBay (or something similar) will be off when prices go way up or down in a short period of time... but it's still the quickest way to get a rough evaluation.

At least you can get a good evaluation of the collection as a whole and then make adjustments for Modern stuff as needed.

I pulled some alpha cards out of penny sleeves today that had not been touched for a few years and there was the opposite effect, the sleeves are foggy. For foils though it may be that there is some form of acid/PVC, if the company producing them is putting out low quality the sleeves could be affecting them. In most cases constant shuffling, moisture, and friction is enough to put the foil layer in a state where it would become less resilient to deterioration. There's definitely other factors involved in causing this other than the general aging of the product.

---

Those is what i'm worried about. I've done some trades for some older foils and they almsot always come fogged. And i pulled out a foil StP i've had in a binder in a sleeve and its fogged too. Have had it so long, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't fogged when i was put in there. COuld it e sleeve damaging them?

EDIT: Also, what the hell? Why do people constantly not use tracking on $100+ deals that are within the US? Come on people! It's just as much about protecting yourself as it is your buyer.

EDIT: Ah yes, 0 ref new member. I'm guessing they were sent in a PWE wedged between two toploaders. *sigh*

I have a feeling non-combo gifts decks will require a metagame to actually be established before they can be tuned. I imagine running something like that is much harder when there's so much potential for variance in the field.

A little shocked by the lack of junk decks though. It seems to have all the tools needed to disrupt and lay the beats.

I think it's awesome. One of the reasons why I didn't deal with some of them is because you had to do it on their terms if you worked through the site.

---

Yeah, I agree it's great to let them do the footwork.

Though I did just sell to Channel Fireball through MOTL and had to go by their rules: everything had to be NM/M and I had to send first to a 0 ref member. But I knew I could trust them 100%, assuming they were who they said they were.

Looking at the format though, I don't see how having counter-top would be bad for the format? It already has a natural predator in huge mana decks (aka the most heavily played archtype).

Its likely a little from both. It sucks when you lose game one and game 2 a player just legally stalls sometimes to win.

Well, the seller doesn't appear to have sold Magic cards before. That's a real ton of cards... They appear fairly well organized (by edition), so that's a start. It might be profitable to break up, since they're pretty old on the whole and you can probably find buyers for them if you have the time to spare. I guess the real question is whether there are any duals in there at all. Since there are so many cards, I'd be inclined to believe that it's mostly bulk commons/uncommons and that the rares were sold off beforehand. On the other hand...

There's two of those lots.

I don't know really. IF the LEA/LEB boxes contain all alpha/beta cards, that lot is probably worth at least $2500 no matter what is in them, because that would be like 10k alpha/beta bulk--up to $5-10k JUST in bulk if it's mixed with rares/uncommons. Anything of value on top of that is gravy. So it has a shot of being worth infinite amounts of money from P9/duals/etc, Workshops/Bazaars/LoAs etc. (lot 1; lot 2 doesn't have an AN/AQ box) but it's worth at least the $1,025 bid that's on it currently.

Of course, if the LEA/LEB boxes didn't contain any alpha/beta other than what he pulled out, the lot is probably worth no more than $200.

I'll wait for them to settle in price though.

I think hes being legit and the boxes are as labeled. However I think best case scenario here is that this is someone's ''bulk'' from like 15 years ago and the lot still has things like Time Vault and Bazaars stuffed in there.

I am dying to see whats in that collection and I wish I knew who won and that they would save me the Alpha Weaknesses.

I'm not sure if you guys read this article above, but this auction looks pretty much like "I followed the steps that this guy said would fool him so I can sell 500 of beta commons for 2000$+"

Its got "deckmaster" in it. Its got set "labels" on the boxes. Its using an account with no prior mtg selling experience.

People who do storage auctions often look up what they find in their storage units. They dont just buy storage units and throw away everything that they don't recognize.
