Ham Hockers Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This was a good one http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2015/03/11/392381112/episode-609-the-curse-of-the-black-lotus Reminded me of Krugman's baby sitting co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhacker Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I recently detailed my interesting experience of realizing my Magic card collection was worth significant money, and proceeded to sell it. I shared the story here --> http://boards.fool.com/way-ot-magic-mtg-card-prices-31643551.aspx?sort=whole#31672922 for those who may be interested. It's quite a lesson in markets, and the popularity of something that I would have thought would be really obscure. Pretty cool. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writser Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Awesome post, thanks for sharing that. Love the guy flipping over the Black Lotus! Back when I started to earn some money I thought it would be an awesome idea to use my first savings to buy a power 9 set. Obviously I never pulled the trigger .. I still have a couple of duals and some other nice cards though. As a matter of fact, I played a couple of Magic games a few weeks ago after a 10+ year break. Spoiler: the game is still great. Already I am suckered into 'investing' in a couple of new cards. The funny thing is that quite a lot of people play it but you never know - admitting that you play it is apparently just as uncool as it was in high school :) .

benhacker Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yeah Writser, I did love the game. I went to a card shop to get a bid on my collection and there were several normal woman there... and they were buying / playing Magic... times have changed. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writser Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Because you emphasize that these women were 'normal' I immediately believe that you played Magic :) . If you're still interested in the game you should check out some of these videos: link. Vintage is the most powerful format and these decks are just insane (and $10k to $20k a piece).
