I Bought 8 Pounds of Magic Cards from a Goodwill Auction 

Quest for renewal in the myr deck and journey to nowhere in the aura deck

missed a second elixer of immortality 28:05

I might've seen a diregraf in the zombies deck, if that's still worth a few bucks

Seth, did you end up sending me my cards from the sealed collector booster boxes opened on stream?

Reminds me of the days when i moved out (had paused mtg back then) and later got told by my dad that he sold all my cards on ebay for a apple and an egg

Delinquent duo is more or less a better version of Grief. Glad it's in yugioh and not mtg 😅

​@@masterthnag105there are mtg cards that do exactly what delinquent duo does but they are 3 mana and sorcery speed and just not good

​@@masterthnag105 More like a 0 mana Hymn / Mind Rot hybrid. Confiscation is the one analogous to Grief / Thoughtseize

@@ellatgrasso2096 to represent delinquent duo the same in mtg as it is in YGO it would cost 1 mana and you'd lose 2 or 3 life and possible a 3rd card would be lost because YGO you get 5 cards not 7. Sure the 3 mv cards that cause 2 discards aren't great... because they are 3 MV. Put them at 1 and they are broken.

@@bladdnun3016 I assume 1 mana because YGO generally has no cost to its spells and this is a card that could be played on turn 1 were it legal.

Goodwill knows what they're doing lol

I once saw online a youtuber who bought sealed alpha boosters (and spent a LOT of money in the process) and he found a brandnew black lotus. So, that was a return on investment there... in fact, all this "blind" buys are much like playing in a lottery, and I don't know which is worse.

Yeah they've stopped allowing themselves to be taken. They're still going to TAKE but not be taken lol

​@@emorsi That's not investing, that's gambling.

@@SpitefulAZ Yeah, for sure... you know what I am regretting the most? Not buying Bitcoins when it was 1 Bitcoin for 1$.

I spent half of what he did for a revised Savannah last Friday… I think I saw about 150-200$ in CK buy list value.

@@drokhalis3338 a guy I worked with sold me his collection for $300. He was leaving the state and didn't want to take it with him. I knew he played back in early 2000's and it was about 2000 cards. Anyway so I didn't open the collection for about a year or two. Mostly because life and I wasn't playing much. His collection was worth about $1500+. Definitely more in todays value but at the time, i think 2015, it was about $1500. I've also never seen someone with so many lightning bolts. Literally like 15 of them for no apparent reason. I miss that guy. Dude walked 6 or 7 miles to and from work every single day in his 50's.

i guess its my fault for scrolling down to the comments but damn, spoilers.

Could have been way worse

that wasn't 8 lbs of cards. that was 8lbs of weight. 8lbs of straight cards only; is about 8000 cards. that is not 8000 cards. not even a 1000.

Actually playing the deck is a hilarious idea.

OMG I would love to see this

Playing with decks? LOL

My roommate spent 200 bucks on a lot of 25000 cards (which we only now finished sorting, after it arrived in october!). I joked about putting it all in a pile and running some kind of massive cube draft to con other people to help us sort it and also have some fun gaming on top of it

Meme or Dream to the extreme@@MTGGoldfishUnboxings

Sounds like an awesome buy!

The 1 percent gambler. Holy cow

Were any of those basic lands full art zendikars or alpha lands at least? That might have made it worth it

@@thejustlawofshamash Not remotely, there were like 4 snow covered basics as the only basics with value, that was before Kaldheim so I think they had better value but I never managed to get rid of those regardless, I donated all of them to the local LGS, you win some you lose some, both lots were only showing facedown cards in the pictures, which obviously... can lead to 2 very different outcomes :)

I bought a huge box at my thrift store as well - it was full of 100 sealed alpha sets - it's too bad I didn't film it either. But now I am on my private island enjoying everything........

Ohh, good call! I'll have to pull them out, I was thinking they were bulk.

For a long while it was the only 2 mana O-Ring effect, too. I remember paying even more for one years ago when building an enchantress EDH.

@@thecrazycapn I remember playing them back in my Scars block PTQ

​@@MTGGoldfishUnboxingsshould play the earthquake elves 😂

​@@MTGGoldfishUnboxingsI love Dawnglare when I'm sorting cards.

It's hilarious that the most expensive card from a pile of magic cards in the first half of the video (haven't watch the rest) is a Yu-Gi-Oh card

It’s pronounced “Delirium Duel”

Yeah, those Whispersilk Cloaks really carried, without those this one would have been a disaster.

Why 30-40$? Whispersilk Cloak is like 80 cents average price on cardmarket, are US prices that much higher?

@@behemoth9543 It's the specific printing of Whispersilk Cloak; that's the Darksteel printing.

Wow, that's the dream! Congrats!

How much did ya pay?

@@drugsdelaney2907 20 dabloons😎. Most storage auctions sell for under $100 with the stipulation that you have to clean out the unit. No one else bid on this particular unit and I just shouted out $20 because I like magic and recognized the box as nerd stuff because an Inquest magazine was visible from the door

​@@MTGGoldfishUnboxingsabout 12 years ago I bought 3 plain cardboard long boxes from a yard sale for 8 dollars each. The most notable cards in it were 2 underground seas, 2 bayous, 2 taigas, 1 volcanic island, mana crypt, demonic tutor, sol ring, sylvan library, blood moon, force of will, phryexian dreadnought, worldly tutor, vampiric tutor, enlightened tutor, intuition, city of traitors, survival of the fittest, volraths stronghold and 2 sliver queens.

so it IS possible

i think they where just a fan of Monty Python and the Holy Grail there's a whole joke with a fluffy bunny taking out multiple knights so funny and is the first thing i thought of when i saw that card i think i would have put it in a hard sleeve too

Who puts Earthquake in Elves?!?!?

@@MTGGoldfishUnboxings you will, on the next episode of against the odds

​@@MTGGoldfishUnboxings it says "players" too! They just wanted to fireball to the face 😅

Interesting, I know almost nothing about Yughioh, but I learned that looking up prices is actually super hard because apparently there are a ton of versions of cards that pretty much all look the same. I thought Magic was bad with versions, but Yugioh might be even more confusing.

@@MTGGoldfish haha, in some ways it's quite simple - usually only one artwork, foil/finish are determined by rarity - but once popular cards start getting reprints at new and exciting rarities, the different versions really are a pain to navigate. I recently got a box of the fantastic Rarity Collection, but trying to list them was an Experience. Did I pull an Ultimate or Collector's Rare? I have literally never seen either of those things before, and the only difference is the foil finish, so all the pictures are identical >.

Makes me tempted to list all my Mox diamonds, alpha/beta/RL in a lot get whatever for it and then keep the power 9 and duals as my parting gift. 😂

...well i didnt see the channel and this video randomly appeared so i guess i got another channel to sub to and watch the other videos but do hope to see more and more videos for sure!

Sold. Send me an email (SaffronOlive@MTGGoldfish.com)

Ha, hope this happens!

Yeah, they are super easy to use! I'm a big fan.

🤓

Oddly, not sure why they don't have a Hurricane or two in there as well.

Did you live in Henry County, Ohio?

I don't know if you're joking but I had a very nice collection stolen from my car a couple years ago and I've always wondered what happened to it and if I'd see it sold online someday.

@@releasethedogs no, but I don't know where that room mate ended up, it also was quite small compared to what I lost. Anyway the hard sleeves and lack of old school cards changed my mind more than anything else.

@@patriciaboggs8882 I wasn't joking completely, I did have a collection stolen that was similar in some products and deck boxes, but the value wasn't there from my older stuff. The same room mate stole $10,000 in yugioh cards and 3,000,000 in Pokemon cards. It broke me because the person was my room mate for years, disappeared one day while I was at work and took all my cards. Several teal binders full of first edition foil pokemon cards and promo, purple binders filled with the same in yugioh, and three boxes of magic stuff. It took me months to be able to even face my dad about it(fhe helped me collect all the pokemon cards), and I still wake up often extremely depressed at how much it makes me a failure of a person. I filed a police report that went nowhere, I wasn't insured because I didn't know the value of the cards, they had been up there for years and I never planned on getting rid of the collection, as well I had become so engrossed in mtg and had a good life I barely even thought about them. Now I make and print my own cards, I still buy stuff now and then, but barely anything. These games were never about the money to me, but since I was betrayed like that its hard to not think about it whenever they come up.

the guys name is David Benjamin Stine. If anyone knows one feel free to reach out to me.

It's the best feeling.
