So did everybody and their uncle.

Are people seriously paying that much for a magic card?

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

I think it's more like the store you play at owns one, and if you're a top player and going to a Legacy tournament maybe you put down a deposit to borrow it since the tournament doesn't allow proxies. Something like that.

I haven't given two shits about magic since stronghold, but 1995 me is screaming inside my head.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought about getting back into it, then found out they keep doing gimmick sets like Spongebob and lost interest.

I utterly detest my little pony, due to growing up with a very obsessed little sister. The day i found out they had made a MLP expansion, magic died to me. Fuck hasboro.

Best I got from my MTG days is a Mox Diamond. I have it sealed and locked away. One day my grandchild will use it to buy passage across the barren wastes occupied by cannibalistic MTG players. So they can make it to the promise land that has the world's last tree and puddle of water.

I still have my favorite two slammers. One has OJ Simpson looking sad and says GUILTY, and one has him looking happy and says INNOCENT (or something to that effect)

Really relics of the early 90s.

I WISH. I have a TON of POGs I made with my POG-MAKER my parents bought me. I love my parents. I wonder if I still have that somewhere.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you have any You or Your Parents POGs? Because that would be pretty sweet

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

I have me POGs for sure, printed with gameboy printer when I was like nine or ten! Lots of POGs that were just me writing shit on paper, some from magazines, and some like, Pokémon cards from late in the POG game. It was a kit where you just plunk a POG back in with a sticky side, into this device. Put a piece of paper in and line it up, then press down. The machine cuts a perfect circle where you lined it up in the window and stamps it down to the sticky side of the POG. I loved it so much. I prolly made a couple hundred.

That bodes well for NFTs

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For those who don't understand the significance of this picture, that card is old, very powerful, extremely rare, very powerful (it gets mentioned twice because that's how powerful it is) and worth a lot of real money, like an absolute lot, like your entire family can retire kind of money

[–] booty@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sub-$100k amounts of money, wouldn't push most of us to retirement here in amerikkka

but yes it's an absurdly expensive piece of cardboard. and the funniest part is that a whole lot of them have been legit destroyed like this and worse. back in the day people would just play with these cards unsleeved on concrete sidewalks and whatever the fuck, carry them to school rubber banded together, etc. a lot of them are in hilariously rough shape.

because they used to be fucking cardboard game pieces not goddamn PSEUDO-STOCKS YOU FUCKING DORKS maddened

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Sub-$100k

The highest value one of these sold for 3 mil (according to google's AI), these can sell for a lot of cash if you have one in fantastic condition

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

I've heard of people showing up to events with one of these and riffle shuffling their deck.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

I wish I had access to color printing that good when I made my proxies in high school 😭
