Tha Gunslinga Moderator	posted April 15, 2019 01:04 PM Yeah, I was at Gencon in the very early 2000s and dual lands had just rotated out of Extended, and there was a guy there with a giant stack of duals at $5 each. I was pretty young and had almost no cash unfortunately.
James_Hetfield2 Member	posted April 22, 2019 07:26 AM I bought an Unlimited Lotus, Ruby and Jet and a Beta Recall for $250 back in 1998ish. Probably cost $14,000 for similar conditioned cards today.
BoltBait Moderator	posted April 22, 2019 12:46 PM Yeah, I wonder what my NM playset of Revised Duals would go for...

Volcanon Member	posted April 23, 2019 02:39 AM Now so old that I have a real job and stuff and put some money into an RRSP. And that money's barely appreciating. My magic cards after I got too lazy to sell them and sick of dealing with flakes not sending me money for my beta/AN/AQ stuff? Appreciating like crazy. Clearly I should have invested all (even more of all) my money in magic cards.
mm1983 Member	posted April 23, 2019 05:25 AM Who would have thought that back in 1993/1994 that MTG was way of the future? Now that I am 35 I really don't play the game anymore so I've focused the last few years on collecting but as prices keep climbing year after year I really don't have it in me to completely sell out either. I own complete sets of old school cards and if I do ever choose to sell those they will also be getting sold as complete sets. At prices like they are today it's like owning a piece of art or a collectors car.

At prices like they are today it's like owning a piece of art or a collectors car. I feel pretty much the same way. I'd really like to get back into playing, though. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S.

James_Hetfield2 Member	posted May 07, 2019 09:21 AM Just 18? I was on this site in 1998 as James_Hetfield though I can't remember why I had to recreate this account in 1999. The good ole days, no fancy reference checker or front page or fancy boards or logo. https://web.archive.org/web/20000124023201/http://www.magictraders.com/

Lord Crovax Member	posted May 12, 2019 10:44 AM 04/13/00 Registration here, 19 Years, kind of miss the good old days.
mm1983 Member	posted May 15, 2019 06:56 AM I thought I was old here. In June starts my 13th year here but it feels like it's been an eternity. Almost 25 years ago when I started playing/collecting. [Edited 1 times, lastly by mm1983 on May 15, 2019]
Goaswerfraiejen Member	posted May 19, 2019 06:25 PM Just checking back in. June 17 will be my 19th year. Holy carp. I'm so sorry there's not much left of this community, though. I pretty much grew up on MOTL, and I'm much better for it all. I learned a lot from the people here--including when I was absolutely dead wrong about various issues. I'm part of another forum which has been abandoned by its parent entities. Happily, we've gotten our act together and made a new home for it, and 100 or so core contributors have made the switch over. It's a far cry from its 400k membership, but like MOTL the forum had been languishing for some time. I guess it's too late for MOTL, though. Wish we'd gotten our act together and just tried it. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S.

rockondon Member	posted May 27, 2019 05:20 PM quote: Originally posted by BoltBait: Leshrac hasn't been involved in MOTL for YEEEEAAAARRRRRSSSSS! I just did some searching to see who owns the site- Eddie Holman - and I also see that people have tried to get his attention before to try to convince him to give administrator access to someone more active on here. Maybe it's worth another try. He neglects the site but he still pays the bills so he must care a little bit about it. __________________ \| ~~ The STFU ~~ _l""\|"\__, \|~~~ TRUCK ~~~ _l'_\|'_\|_\|) \|(@)(@)""\|(@)(@)"\|(@)

[/QUOTE] Or he makes enough money that he doesn't care about losing that little cash to uphold this site, and he's too lazy to do anything about it. would anyone know if he's making any money on this site from those Eudemonia ads? On a big side note, hi Don! have you sent first to anyone lately? quote: Originally posted by LandDestroyer: too bad the manaloop site didn't pan out Don't get me started. They came with a plan and then, right before kick-off, they abandoned it somehow without reason. Bastards. I literally spent days on that site trying to get rid of all the early spamming and keep it orderly. At one point it was harder to get a reaction from them than it was to find Atlantis on the peak of Mount McKinley. At least I tried. And I can say that I've been a mod on a site. Can tick that off my list. EDIT: Guess you did get me started. What was that putz's handle here on MOTL again? __________________ I'm a geek, you're a geek. Let's trade.

As before, we nearly did. Early layout and Forums were done. All they needed to do was to carry on developing.
