I haven't played in a LONG time, and even then I only ever played once, probably around 12 years ago.

I still have my cards though, oddly enough. Sitting in a box out in the garage...

Dobbles used to play - but his thousands of dollars of nice cards he had got stolen from his car one night.

[Viktor]

Damn. Thats why I never leave my stuff in the car.

tis a true story. i think it was someone who knew what they were looking for as my backpack with cards was the only thing taken out of the back seat of my car that was in our car port in a pretty secluded area.

i did get some of them back as they tried to unload them at the card shop and the guy snagged them from the people before calling the cops. however, the damage was done and i sold what i had left.

i always loved the strategy of it all, its just too darned expensive. no way would i be able to keep up with the pipsqueaks who have their parents buy them boxes of cards at a time!

[Viktor]

lol ya i just budget by from cardkingdom.com Its how I made this tournament deck. I researched the cards, made a list and bought online.

[Goodwin 1st MRB]

Don't make me break out my Black Lotus and show you how vintage players roll...

okay, I don't have one.

However, my woodshop teacher had one (or a few?) back in the day.. they were worth some coin last I knew.

$500 near mint

$500 near mint

i need to get a few of those.

I wonder if any of my old cards are worth shit these days... they're so old, maybe...

[Viktor]
