So what you’re saying is I probably should go dig out the boxes of MTG cards I have from being a kid in the mid-90s? I haven’t thought about those in decades!

- MrFoof 6y agoNot only that, but inventory the stuff genuinely valuable. Because if you want it covered by your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy, you're going to need a rider on your policy for them, because homeowner's and renter's insurance policies tend to exclude valuable collectibles by default. My M:tG collection isn't too crazy, but it does include 6 of the Power 9 (which I still play in decks), and my renter's insurance company has sent out an appraiser to verify the inventory so we could have a rider to cover it. They're worth as much as a pretty decent car. The video games are getting to the point where they're probably next.
- neaden 6y agoSure, but be aware it depends heavily on the set. If they are from Revised edition or earlier they could be worth a lot, after that and the odds of a high valued cards goes down considerably. I started with Ice Age and didn't have anything valuable when I went through for instance.
- jdmoreira 6y agoMost revised cards are almost worthless. Dual lands and Wheel of Fortune are the exception.

- ayngg 6y agoIf you haven't checked recently (within the last year) it might be worth it to check again, I started playing at around the same time as you so I have noticed that some cards, even from sets that were "overprinted" like Ice Age, have shot up in value considerably. You can check dawnglare to get an idea of what things are like now (https://mtg.dawnglare.com/?p=viz https://mtg.dawnglare.com/?p=viz).
