    ...Someone's MOTHER gave their card collection away....not realizing what it was worth. My mother gave my Baseball card and comic book collection away when I went away to college. Collection was from mid 50's on.

    If it's not a Collecter's Edition version the signed Black Lotus alone could fetch up to $5k. The Moxes unsigned can fetch $1-2k as well depending on the condition. I had alot of those cards 15 years ago when I played Mtg, but they were sold for a few hundred apiece when I quit. I wish I would've held on to them...

    Those guys that collect those cards are probably looking at the polk forum saying "Look at those nerds who spend 10K on stereo and home theater equipment!!!":biggrin:

    To each their own I guess. If my mom gave away 10 grand worth of magic cards to Goodwill, I'd still love her, but I'd at least ask her for a new 3d television!:eek:

    So baseball cards values dropped a ton and Magic cards are skyrocketing..????

    WOW




    I hate it that goodwill can do this and still be a non-profit buisness. I saw the site years ago and audio gear was going for rediculously high prices then.So I don't even go there since then, it's no use.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    My father was born in Cleveland in 1929. His parents owned an art store downtown. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman, were high school students who bought their art supplies at my grandparent's store.

    When my dad was a little boy, he would sometimes hang around his parents store. As a gift, the two teens gave my father a hand-drawn life-size picture of Superman, and signed it "To Jimmy, You pal Superman."

    You've already guessed the rest. When my dad went to college, his mom cleaned out his room, and threw away his childish poster.

    Any chance that 'Jimmy the Potographer" was named for your dad? That would be almost as priceless as the poster for me. Still, tossing something like that still hurts.
