Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 3936848, member: 2133"] I was into MTG early on, but just late enough to miss out on the Beta and Unlimited sets which were already going for like $2k. I thought that was ridiculous in 1995 when I could barely afford rent and I would just be using them to play in tournaments. I had some decent cards, including a couple of moxes, and a fullset of dual lands but sold everything back in the late 90s. I could buy a car with those now. Unfortunately, I was a kid during the baseball card heyday of the 80s when Topps, Donruss, Fleer, and Upperdeck were selling so many cards that most of them were worthless because there were a billion of them. My one card story was going to Cooperstown in the mid-80s and my younger brother bought like a 4-5 year old unopened pack of cards, tore it open and, without even thinking, shoved the gum in his mouth, chewed for a half-second and then realized that it just turned to powder.
