I sold my collection years ago for about $1000 altogether. I started playing during 3rd Edition, had 4 of each dual land, a handful of older cards, and 4 of pretty much every card worth a damn from ice age until around when 7th edition came out. I doubt that $1000 came close to even breaking even on how much I spent on the game. However, if I still had those cards today, it would be a very different story. I never considered the cards an investment, though. I just liked playing the game at the time.
