Those might actually be worth something some day. Not many people collected those, so the present supply is low, and will only decline further as time goes on.

Those might actually be worth something some day. Not many people collected those, so the present supply is low, and will only decline further as time goes on. Magic was a game widely played by geeks, and I'm sure quite a few have fond memories of sitting around playing the game with friends, thus the game has sentimental value for them. Finally, geeks and former geeks will probably continue to gain more wealth over the next few decades, at least, which means that there will be a decreasing supply of something that an increasing number of people with money want. I'd definitely hang on to them.
- Slackwise 13y agoSorry, but this comment is hilarious because it is written from a perspective that Magic "was" popular. Truth? It's more popular than ever [1], and the Power 9 cards are still worth hundreds, if not thousands.

- notdrunkatall 13y agoIt was popular among geeks, and apparently it still is. That just means there will be even more demand for the early cards in the future.
- Slackwise 13y agoYes/no. Card value depends on a number of factors, notably usability in one of the game's "formats". A card printed today, that is both rare and very useable in many decks and/or formats, will cost anywhere from $5 to $60. A single card. An entire deck? http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1167954 http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1167954 That's the deck that won one of the most recent tournaments. Average price of $630 for the entire set. Point being, you can blow your savings on today's cards, let alone ancient ones.
