i've been selling some stuff in waves. wave 1 has been alpha/beta stuff and the next wave was supposed to be other stuff that was 'extra'...and after that depended on if i was going to keep playing every format or not. definitely leaning toward no now so i'll probably be like phase 1 sell off my vintage stuff like:

Basically 4 complete sets of unlimited except only 1 copy of the restricted cards
4 Shops
4 Bazaar
4 Drains
1 Loa
1-2 nether void
1 grim tutor
Etc

then my legacy stuff
4 complete sets of revised
1 tabernacle
1 imperial recruiter foil
5 karakas

then i've got pretty much all non-standard cards that are modern legacl except baubles, goryo's veagence

and then tons of extras. like for goyfs i think i still own 4 m13, 3 m15, 4 m15 foils, etc since i like to put together sets....ive got 4 complete sets of ktk but also still have my 4x onslaught fetches. 4 complete sets of RTR but still have my 4x og shocks, etc

that is going to take so long to get fair value

You could just loan some of that stuff to me, and then at a later date in time, I could send it back after its appreciated in value considerably.

Just one set of duals?

Barely any posts anyway. Think we're about done here. Site had a good run. Good luck to all you out there. Selling out is going to take so much effort....

Has the art of online trading pretty well disappeared at this point? I feel like people anymore can just readily buy almost anything they need rather than just trade for it. Just in the last year I've gone from doing 10-15 trades in a month down to 5 or less. I'd probably point it at 3 different things, increased shipping costs makes trading harder to do especially on the international end, lack of effort to trade maybe from myself and others who are long established here, or everybody is just looking for all of the same things therefore making it impossible to trade.

"very few casual magic players"

got that right.

It's a lackluster name if you played prior to Modern existing. If you didn't, then it's not the worst name.

Yeah I'm an old geezer when it comes to MTG my dad bought starters of alpha when the game debuted at Gen Con. This feels more like a Modern Masters set with some legacy/vintage stuff sprinkled in.
