Heh. I sent out some jank stuff, should have around $45 when it all processes and gets to their new homes. I'd be using it for cube foils mostly, we'll see.
Speaking of cube foils, judge land tax is like bought out. I just ordered an SP one at channel for $48 but there's only 2 on tcg.
I did so much complaining about not being able to find anything to send on Puca and I went on a roll right after that. I have all sorts of things I am sending tomorrow. Sooooo, I am done complaining about it...lol

I've parted off a huge portion of my collection that I've been actively trying to unload, and now I have to figure out what I actively want to keep, and what I would like to have, but don't have a pressing need to hold on to. Of course, at the same time, there's nothing pressing that I am "needing" to acquire at this time, although I'd like to finish my playset of dual lands at some point.

Went to a new shop from a friend's recommendation, DQ'ed for willful violation of CR 100.6b.
Well considering how much pain is it trying to find the stuff I want, i went ahead and bought a silver membership there. Now I've paid for quietspeculation and puca. QS is worth the money to learn about the fincial side of magic though for sure. Made me enough money to pay for 2 years of membership there plus covering whatever cards I bought for speculation.
Best one so far... Mastery of the Unseen: Bought 50 for roughly 39 cents each. Sold them out for an average of 3.00 each. Profit!
I just got done writing a thirty page research paper. I'm really tired and out of it. Think I'm going to take a nap now. I can already feel my eyes getting sore and my body all achy. On the plus side, six months worth of work has finally produced something tangible.

That's intense! I have trouble writing a 10 page paper let alone 30. Is this paper for class or are you getting it ready for publication?
I am so sad that they allow 14 days for people to award points on Puca, card was delivered mid-week according to tracking
I just want my Flusterstorm and I need those points
On an unrelated note, yeah, I don't think I could write 30 pages on much of anything unless I was totally fascinated by the subject, or I was potentially writing about personal research (Which may be the case above).

I just started puca around a week ago. Pretty neat, ditched a lot of random chaff I had sitting in piles in my room. Have a foil Ugin coming my way from mexico.

There's no way in hell I can write more than a one page paper that wasn't double spaced in size twelve font. My papers usually went, "I was here, something was said/done, things happened. The end."

I wish it were double spaced. On the bright side, however, I have now taught the world something new and interesting.

I noticed. Figure now's the time to bite and make sure I have a full playset of the fetchlands before they start trickling upward.
Yeah, I'm over that. The only reason I would hold onto fetches is to get value out of them later, but by that time the cube foils I need will have probably doubled or something stupid. So many old promo foils and stuff are rising so fast. I mean look at judge land tax, there's barely any anywhere.
I have my speculation targets, but they're not fetchlands. I'd rather speculate on $1-2 cards I think can go to $5 (right now, I'm long on Thragtusk, Rattleclaw Mystic, and Savage Knuckleblade and have money where my mouth is on these) than try to arbitrage intertemporally on fetchlands. The ones I want right now are to finish playsets of them for future use.
Although one wonders why send them to me instead of someone else who wants them.

At the time, you were the only person that wanted it.
I also think thragtusk is really under-priced right now.
I don't have much money to really spec on things lately, I've just been focusing on finishing up my cube or at least pick up the foil cards I think are going to rise. I got lucky on a few, things like promo Man-O'-War, Land Tax, Forbid, Arc Lightning to name a few.
I don't go out and buy hundreds of copies of a card, but I don't mind picking up 2-3 playsets of a card that I feel has significant upside. Thragtusk has seen some of the lower-priced copies bought out - there's naught but damaged and moderately played copies under $2 on TCGPlayer, and the number of sellers has dipped from 220 to about 150, so there's a bit of a trend.
Will definitely be a Modern powerhouse if WotC decides to take an approach re:ban list of "ban everything until Splinter Twin is best deck, then ban Splinter Twin". We'll see tomorrow morning.

So I have one of those fun little treasure finding stories for you guys. I always kinda look around at Magic displays in any store just to see if I can find long lost packs or discounted packs, etc etc. Basically, it never happens but I always do it. So I went into a Rite Aid yesterday to pick up a prescription (first time I had one to pick up there so I had never been inside) and I look around to see if they have Magic. Sure enough they have like, the tiniest display. I immediately see a Dark Ascension Intro Pack that wasn't really of any interest, and then I look down and in a little green blister pack with something like "VALUE PACK" on it, is one of those Shards block all foil packs for $2.99. So I'm like, "oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna play this lottery" and bought it. Got out to the car and opened a Foil Tezzeret the Seeker. I was pretty thrilled, and though I could have done better (say Noble Hierarch?) I wasn't really complaining. Just figured I would post because this sort of thing literally never happens to me but I always like reading stories of people finding stuff like this and getting lucky. Really wasn't meant to be a brag post or anything but if it comes across that way, mods can certainly delete.

I finally have my Flusterstorm coming from Puca also, very glad I didn't have to acquire it through other avenues. I am definitely starting to enjoy using the site more and more the longer I am active there. It makes it seem strange to try to trade in the conventional way anymore.

I'm hoping PucaTrade can pull through and help me finish this project:
I actually thought I only had three Trops as well...
I'm trying to figure out whether to attempt something similar myself. I have 3-4 of each blue dual and 1-2 of each of the rest (21 total). I can't envision why I'd ever need more than that, but the OCD side of me hates the incomplete playsets (until I remind myself that the "cheap" duals I need still total to around $2000 in pucapoints).
Speaking of cube foils, judge land tax is like bought out. I just ordered an SP one at channel for $48 but there's only 2 on tcg.

On the other hand... the judge foils are pretty neat.. and it also means I have to spend more for cube.
I have a foil Opposition and foil Council's judgment coming by way on puca though, I'm excited about that.
