Take a look at the latest crazyness cash grab from Wizards the creators of Magic: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/celebrate-30-years-magic-gathering-30th-anniversary-edition-2022-10-04 https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/celebrate... $999 for 4 packs of 15 cards in which 2 are rare. Not real magic cards - not valid for tournament play.

Man I wish I knew where my magic cards were. I have all of those rare cards from their original editions! I had a deck that was five colors, almost all rare, and only multilands. I can't even imagine what that would be worth today (or if they're even tournament legal anymore, I haven't checked the rules in about 25 years).

  They are probably tournament legal in old school (cards printed in 93/94 which I play with my son) and in something called Vintage. With multilands you must mean the Dual Lands and they have a lot of value. https://www.mtgstocks.com/lists/6 https://www.mtgstocks.com/lists/6 - even if they are from the revised set and have been played with we speak about at least $200 each and you probably had 20 or so in your deck. If by original editions you mean Alpha (black border, round corners) and Beta (black border) - they have insane value depending on which cards of course. Do you remember if the cards had black borders? Would love to see some photos of your deck :)

    I had about 20 mulitlands in the deck (all in sleeves) as well as a whole second set of pristine multilands. And yes, mostly Beta (black border), a few Alphas, and a lot of Unlimited, Arabian Nights, and Legends still in sleeves. I stopped collecting after that. > Would love to see some photos of your deck :) Would love to be able to find them and take those photos!! I actually ran a business selling Magic cards back in '95. I'd go buy cases at wholesale and then sell them out of my trunk at retail with my buddy. Instead of taking profit, we'd open one pack for every one we sold, so I got all my money back and a shitload of rare cards. It was my most successful business in my career!

      Thank you for sharing this info, must have been a wonderful experience. Your cards must be worth a small fortune. I played first in 1996 but had no money so no valuable cards, but I kept them all. I have now been spending around €2K to buy old cards (mostly revised and 4th edition) to make decks for playing with my son. We play an affordable format for old school, you can see more info here https://7pts-singleton.com/ https://7pts-singleton.com/ Last summer we travelled to Madrid to be part of the Championship, me and my son - it was wonderful :)
