I really don't understand. Why do fat packs have better stuff than packs do you think?
I dont know but I always thought that fat packs had at least one good pack. Kind of like the mythic to pack ratio 1:8. Im really pissed off. I know I'm overreacting but I'm so mad I don't even wanna look at a freaking magic card. I work for my money and it makes me mad when Im trying to have fun and it goes down the drain. I dont have to have money cards in every pack but I will never play those trash rares.
So I just went out and bought a fat pack of Avacyn Restored. I always try to buy both a fat pack and a box of the new set. I was gonna just buy a few packs since I'm low on funds but I figured it would be better to get a fat pack since they usually have 1-2 money/good cards in them. Here is the junk I pulled
1 Arcane Melee
2 Treacherous Pit-Dweller
1 Dark Imposter
1 Harvester of Souls
1 Moonsilver Spear
1 Conjurer's Closet
1 Infinite Reflection
1 Otherworld Atlas
0 Foils
I've played magic for 11 years and I've always enjoyed opening packs just for the chance of opening something good. Well I have never opened something this bad. I threw away ever single card except for 1 Thunderous Wrath. I love paying $44 after tax for an uncommon and a box. Is Wizards trying to get people to quit? I know it's not that big of deal but it's a huge letdown flushing away $40.
I have 4 but both of my Standard decks (Haunted Humans & Delver Pike) use them so I can't trade them. Do you think Sword of Feast and Famine will bottom out and go lower or not?
You wouldn't get anybody to crack a sealed box for those prices, unless you had 35 other buyers picking theirs up at the same time. And some part of alpha and beta boxes were shrinkwrapped, but the wrapping was clear, with no logos, so it's pretty easy to make by anybody. I would recomend starters for both alpha and beta, since they were sealed from the start.
For better prices go check sealed box prices from ebay and major retailer and then compare it to loose boosters. From there you can get the value loss of the box from opening and you can add that to the loose booster price.
My understanding is that you would have to pay about 12k$ for a single pack from a sealed beta box, about 7.5k$ for AN, 600$ for Lg and so on. Hopefully you have a really good year with tax returns...
Do you even know what you're talking about? By the looks of it, you don't and are just throwing random numbers around. There is no way a pack of Beta costs $12k when you can get a booster box for like $15-20k. I've seen listings on ebay and/or TrollandToad. Now that I read your post again it looks like you meant $1,200 and $750.
I don't know but all I wanted to say is if I still had the money from my income tax return I'd probably buy 2-3 Revised packs and hope for a blue Dual!
I didn't get to go to the pre-release cause I had to work. But am I hearing right? So some Helvaults had Judge Foil Demonic Tutors and Exalted Angels while the majority had garbage? So were the lucky Helvaults all judge foils? Does anyone know anymore details?
There is a picture of the Counterpunch commander deck I bought at one of the local Walmarts here. So far I've found all of them except Heavenly Inferno. This is the only Counterpunch one I've seen though.
I checked my normal places. The retail price for German, S-Chinese, and Spanish is between $130-150 in near mint (assuming it's the Kamigawa foil and not the From the Vault foil).
I would assume French is included in those ranges. Again, that's retail.
Unfortunately, this German foil actually sold on Ebay for $90:
Hey haymaker, what sites do you check? I have a foil russian Rafiq, the Many and cannot find a single listed price online. SCG has foil japanese one for $70
It's so annoying trying to find prices on foreign cards, especially foils ones. In my case I have a FOIL Russian Rafiq, the Many that I pulled from an old pack of Shards that my local shop had. Only bought 1 lol. SCG has a FOIL Japanese one for $70 so does anyone know the value of a foil russian one compared to a foil japanese card?
Splinter Twin is a semi-cheap deck and it's really competitive too. The only expensive cards are 4 scalding tarn, 3-4 misty rainforest, and steam vents. you really need the 4 tarns but you could run like 1-2 misty and sulfur falls instead of steam vents. shivan reef and cascade bluffs are also cheaper than steam vents.
Ok thanks! I thought Russian cards were worth more. I think I'm just gonna keep it because most people around here will not value it more than $70 or so. I also pulled a Foil Russian Lyzolda, The Blood Witch out of a Dissension pack which of course Star City doesn't have listed. They just have English foils listed so I have no idea where to begin estimating the value.
I'm new to the forums so I have no idea where this thread belongs so I posted it in the Trading Post and here. Sorry admins, take down whichever one doesn't belong.
I purchased a Russian pack of Shards of Alara the other day and pulled a Foil Russian Rafiq the Many. I looked on Star City and they didn't have any Russian ones listed but they had 1 Japanese listed at $70. A friend of mine wants to buy it and I was wondering if anyone knew the value of it or if not, whether Russian cards are worth more or less than Japanese ones. I want to give him a fair price. Thanks
