At one point I started collecting one of every land ever printed, once I started getting into different languages it became too much.

My focus now is slowly turning my Merieke EDH deck into all Italian foils.

I see nothing unusual about 2 binders full of Gruul Nodorogs, including APs, artist-signed, MOTLer-altered and the original Pete Venters sketch. Nope, not at all.

Haha I plan on paying him quite a nice premium though, so maybe we'll be able to work something out.

Other than that, I only have a legacy/standard deck, not much of a collection, so nothing really unique.


I have 4x M11 signed by Snoddy. I did that when I found the post for artist signings here on MOTL

Obviously you need 10%. Some of those suckers are pretty heavily played, too.

I have a complete set of everything from Unlimited to the current edition except for what I have listed for sets on my want list. Not sure if it's unique or not but it definitely feeds my obsessive compulsive disorder.

Mine has about 30 Alpha deathlaces and my OCD is a bit worse then Daves as I'm trying for a playset of every set...

I did have about 600 Dark Rituals but I sold them off to MTDetermine to help fun the Deathlaces when I started collecting them.

It seems like its a never ending goal so I might be changing it to a single set of each expansion set.

oh and I have about 60 Volrath's Gardens.... theres a funny/silly story behind them.

I had some pretty cool artist proofs with stuff on them, but ended up selling some of them for money. I also sold off a set of mtgchina p9 stuff that I kinda regret doing so now since I'll probably never find them again. I had some (and still have a couple) interesting angel/spirit tokens and such.

I still have some artist proofs with sketches and stuff on them. Just not anywhere near as many as I did.

Hmmmm, wonder if a third member will turn up saying "I sold xxx Dark Rituals to MTDetermine".........

Actually, I think traders will have a lot of everything. Once, I went to a famous Singapore Ebay Trader house. He has probably 100 boxes (each box can contain 800+ cards I think) of cards at 1 corner. When I went to his room, I saw binders and binders of cards.

I focus more on old cards so I have much less cards in comparison. Even so, I have sizable Unhinged basics, Unglued basics, IA snow basics, Chinese Portal Alternate Art basics, Zen basics, Zen foil basics, and yes, Dark Rituals.

But the ones I really love is Hymn to Tourachs. I think the artwork is really nice. Since I started getting Dark Ritual, I also started having a pendant for them too, especially the IA picture.

Used to have 4x of every Legacy-legal card.

Nowadays, I have 1 of each card from every expansion. Next project is foiling it out.

Not much of my collection is "mine" anymore, but some motlers have seen my decently nice Foil Japanese Trade binder (was nicer before the fetchlands and Jace TMS playset moved). I've also got an uncut sheet of foil german zendikar rares and mythics which I've never seen anywhere else, and a Splendid Genesis

My collection is not amazing by any stretch, I don't hoard expensive cards or have beta power or duals. What I do have is the ability to build almost any legacy deck at any given time. I have a two rowed box full of playsets of all legacy playable cards housed in kmc super purples. It is my pride and joy. I also have upwards of 150 beloved chaplain and 80-90 copies of brave the elements and about 50 relentless rat. My collection is like my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.

odd, mine is the opposite now. I had power and legacy cards, but due to lack of use I've gotten rid of them all. I still have 1x beta duals for EDH, but almost all my legacy cards are even gone. Just sold off my wastelands 2 weeks ago, my forces 1 week ago. Don't really miss them.

What i do have is a health supply of guru lands so I can use them in all my constructed decks. I've also got a load of MM counterspells. Its only a fat pack box full right now, with the first inch or two all sleeved up foils, but I'll start growing it again one day. For now I only pick up ones I see in person when they're reasonably priced.
I also just have loads of standard foils. I know its really bad for me because I lose a lot on them (holding 20x foil scars lands?), but I really do like foils a lot and standard is the format I play the most.

My collection is a unique collection as it is a shared collection with a friend of mine. We each have a 40 set of dual lands, same playsets of high end foils, many of the same cards that are restricted in vintage formats, same playsets of other high end legacy cards. We share an original 40 set of Rav block foil shock lands and foil sets of other land cycles including Onslaught fetches and Zendikar fetches. Only thing we really don't bother with having is power 9, other very high end legacy playables such as Bazaar of Baghdad, Moat, Candelabra, Mana Drain, Tabernacle, etc. From my current want list if it's from Revised and newer and if you don't see it up there I either most likely have it already or I simply don't want it.

Did you start collecting them because the name is close to your screen name?

I think this is pretty unique, not to mention that it is worth a pretty dough now.

Personally, I think people who collect 1 or a few particular cards, will have a collection which is pretty unique on its own.
