Finally cashed out some crypto for my first purchase, for pic related. That's the mox collection alphas including black lotus, the most coveted magic cards in existence.
Any of you buy anything cool at all? lol I thought not.

One day you'll tell your children of how you won your fortune: and they'll look at you like people look at Doc Holiday in Tombstone.

Respect and a little bit of awe. My hat's off to you, you glorious degenerate.

she has eczema and it turned into a body wide staph infection. I'll see if i can find photos of it but she had a layer of puss running under her entire skin. she had to have wet bandages across her entire body that needed to be changed every few hours when it was at its peak worst. they put her on morphine pills and she couldn't do anything but cry in pain and i did my best to keep her in a comatose state. I should have left her in the hospital when i originally took her but i thought she'd be fine getting taken care of at home but it was faaar beyond the treatment I was capable of giving. I spent thousands on cream and these specific type of wax bandages they use for wrapping up severe burn victims. she looked like a living nightmare

Vintage prices are so fucked i'd feel bad for owners but most probably never planned on selling anyways.

They will lose the same speculative value as MTG cards in general while not having decent play value to fall back on like legacy and modern.

Vintage should have been more extreme in bans, it's just not fun.

Standard cards always drop in prices fast but the current quality issues are the fucking nail in the coffin. Also MtG Arena will make the game much cheaper (if it ever gets released before 2050).
