Had a buddy buy a box from someone who found a collection in a storage auction. Bought it based on seeing one 1 plateau.... Didn't find any more duals, but it had a bunch of wild hits like a foil craterhoof behemoth, a pile of shock lands, a stack of revised+unlimited bolts, 2 playset of lotus petal, and like 900 more in hits.
When I was a kid I was too poor to buy more than bulk singles from a bin at the local LGS and the occasional pack or starter deck. When I happened upon like $90 I was so excited to go on Ebay and buy a whole booster box of whatever I could afford. This was the late 90s so you can imagine my options lol >.< What set sounded coolest to me, not really knowing what was in any of them? Fallen. Empires. That's what child me selected. So many Hymn to Tourachs, lol...
What a fun video. I love these old collection buy videos. Sad to see people leave the hobby but videos like this will bring in many new hobbyists. Great work.
As a newer Magic player it is awesome to watch you go through a collection this size. Very interesting and filled with minor tidbits about the history of Magic.
The fact you can sift through that fast is insane. I have to look them up one by one. Youre knowledge for card value is through the roof. Thanks for the content. And please do another series like this! I found this channel from this purchase and it was alot of fun
Knowledge like that comes with time, I myself work at a card store and can kinda just eye it when looking through collections like that! Pretty handy skill to aquire
That's a crazy collection! I wish I could find the kind of stuff that you've found, any tips on picking out random collections that could have real value?
I agree on the pauper comments. The sheer volume of killer pauper cards I've seen you pass on this was incredible. My pod plays a ton of pauper commander, and I am always scouring the bulk boxes at my LGS for goodies
Wow I actually got a notification about a video as soon as it got uploaded. Great buy by the way. It's been a ton of fun watching you through the whole thing. This is also the first time I've been able to see that the video was posted early enough to possibly get in on the giveaway. Fingers crossed. A shock land is always nice.
@@MattcasterMageThanks. I've been following this and the market mover videos. I see the market video the day of or the next day but this random buy series always pops up on my feed a week late.
Oh my goodness , a morphling ! Literally hitting all my loves … can literally hear it in your voice , how blown away you are. Congrats again , Matt , you deserve it !!!
Gratulations to all the fetch lands! Holy moly, these boxes were so full of surprises as a grande finale of the collection! It's clearly imaginable how the owner loved MtG, as he really neatly sorted all the boxes.
Can you share (if you calculated) what the total value of this collection was including just cards $2 and up?? NM...it was at the very end. Almost $5 G's!! Nice.
I started collecting in Stronghold and sold most of my collection 10+ years ago. I remember owning so many of these cards. Wow, this is a phenomenal blast from the past Thanks for the video.
This collection is nuts. I’ve been seeing the bulk thinking how hard it is to get some of the lower end cards. That was just to many fetchlands. What was this guys pull luck?
Very nice, intensely random collection find! I wish I had sold my first collection to someone who would've opened it on video like this. Would've blown your mind lol. It hurts to think about; having sold it. I swore I was done with MTG. I think we all know how that turned out. I have no plans on ever selling my new collection, even if it'll never be anything like the first one. (It was worth well over $35k, not including any bulk, etc)
Awesome last video Matt - that one bundle box was insane with the value - had to be my favorite of the collection cause many of those were from around the same time my son and I started playing at our LGS - thanks for sharing!
just made a red and white equipment deck in need of a sacred foundry it is low in power a 7. my strongest deck is animar filled with eldrazis. probably a 9 it pops quick. love all your vids been subscribed for years. keep up the good work.
Oh my goodness , not only the ice age and fallen empires , but it the killer bees !!! I collect those , that would be so awesome to have found. What a find and I would love to get those bees !!!!
I always watch you all the way from Lima, Peru. Love what you are doing! You got some great value on this buy. If you pick me for the subscriber giveaway, I promise to take a great picture when I get the card. Maybe I could visit an archeological dig and snap it there. ☺
Had a real funny thought during this video "Take a drink every time he says "This Collection" or "Collection"" Woulda died lol But great finds in these boxes.
Just getting back into collecting and playing havent been involved in either since alpha and beta WAY back in the day but really enjoying getting back on the wagon!
