    • @terryfeynman
      @terryfeynman Před 4 lety +2

      I highly doubt this is real. It makes no sense a set collector would have them in the binder like this. I can maybe see all the power 9 together (though usually you would have the 3 blue spells on a different page then the artifacts, since you sort by color), but why are the basic lands on the other side ? Why is there one single dual land among them ? You would either sort by alphabet or have duals together and basics together. On the other hand if you just wanna show the crown jewels, and hence have the volcanic island on the other page, why have the basics there ? This makes no sense.

    • @ccggenius
      @ccggenius Před 4 lety +50

      @@terryfeynman They might have only owned one of the duals. Those basics are in alphabetical order by the way, so it's possible the binder went Power 9 -> lands -> color wheel, or some other thing. Also, Antiques Roadshow is on PBS, not the History Channel, they don't DO fakes. FWIW, I think the fact that those cards aren't double-sleeved is pretty good indication that she's telling the truth. I feel like if someone knew enough to get high quality fakes in this day and age, they'd know enough to make it look like they were taking effort to protect said cards, not store them in loose pages stored in a binder you got for $6 at Office Max.

      @doctordistracto8390 Před 4 lety +33

      Honestly if he really cracked those from packs they might have gotten bindered in the 90s and left that way since then. Back then we absolutely kept sets in binders. People who transitioned over from baseball cards might not be super organized and would have a binder that looked like this, just artifacts together, lands together, valuable/trade bait cards together etc. and not really organized any deeper than that.
      People knew what the power 9 was but that whole page would have been worth like $100 back then. I didn't start until revised and even that late I remember seeing moxes in shop cases for $20-30 each. I know people who kept all the duals and everything in binders, and when they got multiples they'd keep playsets all in one pocket together. This power 9 page wouldn't have been a real big deal. We all thought they were going to end up like baseball cards or pogs or beanie babies in the long run so it was just having fun for however long it lasted.
      But yeah this binder absolutely rings true to me. Even the wear on the cards is legitimate play wear, somebody shuffled these up and played a hundred games with them. Counterfeiters don't do that.

    • @doctordistracto8390
      @doctordistracto8390 Před 4 lety +15

      Also there's 10 dual lands and 9 pockets per page. If you have all 10 you always have 1 left over that you have to just stick somewhere or give it its own page or something. Volcanic island is the last one alphabetically so was a common choice to be the odd one out.
      I'd guess he had dual lands up front to protect the power 9 because duals were like $4-5, or maybe just put them there so people wanting to trade would see them first because they were highly traded. Then power 9, then had one dual left over and instead of wasting the page just started up the rest of the other lands in the set.

      I find it interesting that they didn't mention the reason why Volcanic Island was not in Alpha was a printing error. You also get fun stuff like Cyclopean Tomb not having a mana cost in Alpha as well.

You can go to all the card shops in your city and won’t even see all power 9 in one spot let alone a lotus.

      Yeah...no current MTG set produced in the last 10 - 15 years will ever come anywhere near as valuable as those Beta cards. A complete set of cards produced in the 2010s might be worth a few thousand dollars in the 2030s or 2040s, but that's about it. Trying to hoard things like this, expecting them to become valuable in 30 years because the originals did is like people starting to "collect" comic books in the 1990s because they saw the amount of money people were paying for things like _Amazing Fantasy #15,_ or _Detective Comics #27._

      He actually had mistakes in there, for example unlimited was despite it´s name anything but unlimited. It is estimated we have about 3-3.5 k of each beta rare and about 17.5k of each unlimited one. So there is only about 6 times as many unlimited cards as there is beta cards.
      Also the way the cards are sorted in the binder makes me highly suspicious this was done to present them for the show. No set collector would sort his cards that way, it makes no sense.

      Just do it! It is just a great game! Today better than ever. Find the next local game store on the magic website and they should be able to give you 2 free 30 card decks and if they have time show you how to play. There are also regular events called Magic Open House, where people like you are welcomed to come into the store and be trained how to play with other newcomers.
      In times of Corona you can also by a spellslingers kit to learn it step by step on your own with your brother. Also the Planeswalker decks could be purchased as the next step.

      @@FANBOY41 I agree it's a great game, but not so sure it's better than ever. Standard has been a mess the last 4 years or so much they have to ban due to power creep - since you wrote this there's been four sets in a row they messed up and had to ban or errata (oko, cat oven, once upon a time, uro, the entire companion mechanic and now omnath). Hasbro unfortunately seems to care more about profits than the long-term implications of pushing card power levels to high and players dropping off.
      Arena's probably the best thing for new players to get into it- pandemic aside as it's cheaper to get a half-way competetive deck and it handles the rules so new players don't get so confused. But playing in person with a good group is the best for sure

      It's just scarcity. These cards can never be reprinted, and there are only so many in existence. The price is simply whatever the richest interested party is willing to pay. It only takes one fan with an 8 figure bank balance and bingo, $100k is really not a big thing at that level.

      @@Redskies453I agree with the scarcity and the subjectiveness of the value. However, I think these cards can be reprinted but obviously the first cards would have some valuable traits compared to their reprints such as their originality and physical features that only those cards would possess. The reprints would have value as well; just not as much. Take holographic "Charizard" cards for example from Pokemon TCG base set and "XY Evolutions" set. The reprint from "XY Evolutions" has considerable value given the right condition and print (google shopping). Will they be reprinted is unknown. Thank you for taking the time to read.

      @@garcia-buckner7702 There is a legal issue with reprinting some cards. The publisher has stated that they will not reprint any of the cards on their "reserved list" and there is a legal argument with precedent that this constitutes a passive contract with current owners of the cards to protect the value of the cards. If they were to reprint those specific cards they may be liable to compensate collectors for the loss in value.
