OK...you win...

Rather than holding off until after the holidays to begin - I will just keep going now. You will see starting on boxing day what my original plan for this blog was, and still largely is, but I have enough to discuss before then that I will just keep going....

With it being Sunday (yay for weekends while I still have them - being a Chartered Professional Accountant in Canada with an accounting firm means February through April will include many 6 day, or possibly 7 day work weeks) let's take a look at some recent Listia acquisitions fit the week.

I picked up a couple shiny gold Ultra parallel cards...

 
Also saw an Magic Artifact card going cheap, so picked that up...

 

I always enjoyed Magic and since getting back into it, try and play games here and there when I can. I started back when revised was out in 1994 (I should have thought to just buy boosters and save them 20 years, but hindsight is 20/20). I originally played with green decks build on speed and regeneration, but moved to straight artifacts and a plodding drawn out game.

Side note - most expensive card I have and a staple of my desk is a Mishra's Workshop I get as a gift in 1997. My friends bought it for me for $30 - worth a bit more than that now, I just wish I could invest in stocks as well as that...

OK - a bit side tracked there...but lastly, I picked up the following:

 






 A nice serial numbered rookie card. Although I find it a bit ridiculous how many different parallels and such there are these days. It is still a neat feeling when you know, at most, only 62 other people have the same card you are holding...

That's why I find 1/1s so interesting, yet at the same time infuriating from a collection stand point because I can never have all 1/1s for the teams I collect...oh well...but I can still try...

  1. I have a bunch of older MTG cards I'm looking to get rid of. My friend gave them to me before he moved out to Alberta. I tried playing before years ago and never got into it.
