I'm trying not to respond to these negative comments but I'll explain something to help people better understand. I started playing when zendikar came out and got really heavy into it when RTR came out. I have about 12 decks between commander and modern. I stopped playing and turned to business because of how rude and disrespectful people are at local events. I play with my friends frequently but that's it. I sell cards cheaper than anyone else on TCGplayer but I have to make my money back somehow. I never meant to disrespect anyone with this video, I was just excited about the find.
I remember looking through card prices and seeing foil grim monoliths were 1,000-1,500. I was like holy crap. I have had one of those just sitting in a box for years. I probably traded next to nothing for it back when I was pimping out my Type 1 deck.
Realistically, when all is said and done, you're looking at something like $60 for this binder. Just not worth the hassle of selling them as singles which is why the guy sold it to you for $20.
It's nice having someone comment something real for once haha, and yes you are correct. I found an old pokemon binder recently that had the exact same stickiness to it.
Yo guy, if you have a smart phone download Delver Lens, put white sheets of paper behind the page you are scanning, and try to reduce glare - using PC light works well. It'll save you lots of time
i once found a collection at a flea market. so i picked out a couple cards like oldschool karn, flash, a couple merchant scrolls, a bunch of goldboarder fetchlands etc. he even had an old rulesbook and the big magic enzyclopidia. he wanted to have 4 dollar for the cards and the books were gifted to me. fleamarkets are great sometimes! if you not interested in keeping the cards i would not buy them tho. flea markets and private sellers make hobbies cheaper, you make magic more xpensive by selling them away essentially decreasing the number of cheap cards and replacing them with expensive cards. RESELLER ALERT :D
TCG player, atleast from what you've said - I think their prices are really off. but I'm sure you are double checking before trying to sell - I check Starcitygames or facetofacegames cuz most stores in my area go off of those
SeanJ2017 What I love about RU-vid is that I get to learn something daily. Unfortunately most people are rude about it. Definitely learned about chronicles in this video.
The guy who sold this to you ripped himself off by taking a 20 dollar bill. He definitely got low balled! He must have been desperate for cash. You said I probably should of offered him 10 bucks. Greedy... Ouch man, that is insane!
Really, you should’ve offered the poor man less? After knowing you where gonna make a profit on just one page? That’s sad man. Borderline nothing but greed. I don’t care if it was risky cuz it’s condition. Look through the binder first and offer the man his pay due.
A few things I'll say in response to your comment: 1. You're right. Had I known I would be making a large profit, I would have offered more. At the time I only had a minute to flip through it and I am not familiar with all the older rares. All I knew was that the page of old lands is probably worth around $20-$30, so I offered $20, willing to settle at $25. 2. The art of business isn't about breaking even, it's about making a profit. After shipping costs and the hours put into sorting and listing I will make much less over a very long period of time than the total "profit" shown at the end of the video. 3. He made a profit regardless and that's what the flea market is about. He couldn't have possibly cared less about an MTG binder among his baseball memorabilia. He said he picked it up at a garage sale or something which means he probably paid $5 for the binder. I apologize if you disagree with my methods, but I assure you everyone shopping at a flea market or shopping on eBay is doing the exact same thing. I was just the lucky one to find it first.
Cory's Card Craze I really don't know you, this RU-vid video is my first exposure of you, with that being said there is a thing called ethical business practices. There is nothing wrong with buy low sell high. However you come off as a bit unsavory and judging by this single video I wouldn't want to do business with you. I would question the authenticity of your cards. Trust is a huge factor when it comes to the buyer seller relationship.
M. S. Shut the fuck up man. Look who is the kid with that piss ass talk. 🖕all you cheap asses can go to the flea market and prey on the weak. Hope you guys feel disgusting when you offer your dirt bag offers
The fact that you don’t know which card was worth money on some of the pages, and just look at the page as a sheet worth this arbitrary value, is what hurts the most. So many people who actually play magic and make decks know those cards and would love them for their history and uses in the game. All I see is a guy with money bags on his eyes, not a magic the gathering player. I was surprised you said you had a commander deck.

Damaged is only if it is ripped, cracked/weakened, folded, badly dented, taped, or pieces missing. If the surface is worn/scratched and also the edges, fingernail marks and all that, then its somewhere between light played and heavy played. The price difference between these categories is huge because it determines tournament legality, so you guarantee an unhappy wallet. If you cannot get this down, you have 2 options: Sell the whole thing to someone who knows, or do ebay auctions with front and back pictures and do not grade at all. A trustworthy professional will pay close to market value for the good cards and give a lottle bonus for the rest, and you do not know enough to make that much money selling them yourself if you grade undamaged cards as damaged. www.cardmarket.com/en/Help/CardCondition
I appreciate the input. I've already made $200 off the cards in this binder so I'm not too worried about it, but I will definitely keep what you've told me in mind for future purchases/sales. I'm used to dealing with only near mint cards fresh out of packs so this was new to me. Thank you! Much appreciated.
