Anything from the Alpha release is going to be worth a lot.
Even a set of basic lands will set you back $500.
When I used to play back in '95/96 (4th Ed/Ice Age era) any Alpha/Beta cards were relatively expensive - now they're crazy.
- bigger_cheese 8y agoMTG is really skewed towards high end stuff 99% cards are never really going to be worth anything. I think a lot of people get disappointed when they find out their old bulk cards aren't as valuable as they expected them to be. I own thousands (probably 10's of thousands) of magic cards but I'd say 95% of my collections value is tied up in probably fewer than 50 cards. If you have unopened product (sealed boxes or packs) those are potentially worth quite a bit. A lot of old unopened booster packs are worth $15+ now.
- _Codemonkeyism 8y agoI'm lucky because I sold those 95% of cards (collection) back in the day and have only a playing deck left which I kept in the drawer for 20y. I was astonished to find that Mishras Workshop is $1k (also lucky that I've kept all cards in sleeves from the beginning).
