Thank you for letting me know!

Me too! They are always a pleasure to open. Thanks for watching!

That's awesome!

Rigth?! I feel lik a few sets back had foils 🤔

Urzas destiny was the first set. 7th was the first core set to have foils.

I realized after the fact that this was a mistake. You are 100% correct. I don't edit my videos so I just rolled with it. Thank you for the correction!

@@collectiblecarddude I could care less ... just think its fucking awesome you open the stuff!

Thank you! I appreciate you watching the video!

Thank you Nina! I will try my best to keep pumping out content for ya'll!

Agreed. Thanks for watching!

I was pumped! Thanks for watching!

Yeah they are! I wish I could afford the whole set! Thanks for watching the video.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching the video.

Hell yeah it was! Thanks for watching bro!

You are welcome!

Thank you! I appreciate that.

Thanks for watching for that 10 seconds!

Yep! I still love the game but I know what you mean. Things were different back then. Thanks for watching!

@@collectiblecarddude Yeah they were. Just being able to use an artifact to tap a persons creature was super valuable. Cards were balanced back then. Now your rares are like commons and people pay for all the best cards after seeing what are winning cards just so they can win instead of being creative and doing it on their own.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yeah I made a mistake on when the set came out. I seemed to think differently for some reason. I don't edit my videos so I just left it as is. I remember the $82 booster boxes! I also remember the $90 Mox's you could buy in the 90s too! Thanks for watching!

I agree with you! It was a slight mistake on my part. I don't edit my videos so I just left it as is. Great catch! Thanks for watching!

I was quite happy! Thank you for watching!

Agreed! I am a big fan of his art. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I also play green so that made it extra special for me. Thanks for watching!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

That's an interesting take. I never considered that actually. Thanks for watching!

Ohhh awesome! On your TH-cam or Whatnot channel? I'd love to check it out. Best of luck!

All the non foil cards in 7th, 8th, and 9th edition [I believe] were white bordered. Just foils had the black border in the core sets. Back then expansion sets had black borders on all cards. If my memory is correct Magic went full black border on pretty much all future releases at 10th edition and beyond. I'm unclear why exactly they seemed to go back and forth between white & black borders in the early days. Ink cost? Fun times though!

In the late 90’s/early 2000’s, to show respect to the collectors/investors of MTG, reprint sets such as core sets were printed in white border to differentiate them from the earlier printed black border sets. The only way to get 7th edition (only core set to have all new artwork with the old frame) with the black border was to get the extremely rare foils.

I love the discussion! Thank you all for watching!

I couldn't agree more! I wish I had the whole set but I am not close! Thanks for watching!

7th Edition is a great place to start. Maybe someday you can pick up that Thorn Elemental again? Thanks for watching!

@@davidhouseman4328 thorn element is maybe one of the cheepest foils

@riotThomy good to know, I might pick one up sometime, but its never quiet the same.

Rare foils print run from those sets are rumored to be at a quantity near Alpha/Beta levels. But finding these foils unclouded makes them even more scarce and collectible.

@@bewbunyon1 I opened 7th when it was released. Trust me. 7th edition foils ain't the holy grail of rarity. People made a fuss about it because they were black bordered. Not because of the rarity

@Dekaar I opened my share back then as well. I was just referring to info I've read in various forums about print run calculations of the rare foils from those earliest sets being a fraction of what's printed today. Take those numbers and factor in card attrition and you have cards very hard to make sets of in primo condition. I myself had set out to make complete sets of all foils from Urzas Legacy through Onslaught. Difficulty finding Rares led me to researching documented print runs. Afterwards I just settled on getting every foil from Mercadian Masques and older and quit there. It took some time.

Yeah I made a boo-boo! I don't edit my videos so I just left it as is. Thank you so much for watching!

Agreed! I made a mistake in the video but thanks for watching and correcting my error!

Thank you! I really appreciate you watching!

Some art in some sets got better, and some got clearly worse. Thanks for watching!

Some cards I've heard some say were ugly had a strange clean, not very detailed, old school vibe to them. I get what these players mean. But I dig many of these so called "ugly" cards for their retro esthetic. Simple times. Cards were easier to identify from across the table. Made the game more enjoyable from a play standpoint. The art might technically be better today but reading and identifying cards isn't as intuitive as I remember. But I'm much older now and just miss the past. I still love the game though.

I’m a big fan of 7th edition artwork, but I do understand the unfortunate loss of being able to easily identify cards. When a common, such as counter spell, needs to be reprinted because it’s a staple card for many decks, it also becomes very familiar and notable to the mtg community. If the popularity of the artwork causes the card to be too expensive to reprint then the game takes a huge loss. Reprinting cards with old artwork should not cost more than the market value of the card.

That's awesome! Welcome to the CCD Army!

Oh, I agree completely. I sell them on my Whatnot channel if you ever wanted to buy a pack!

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Agreed! I was pretty pumped to get it especially since I play green!

Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome! Welcome aboard to the CCD Army!

Thank you! I was pretty pumped!

Wow congrats! That's awesome! Thank you for watching!

Thanks!

Agreed! Thank you for watching!

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

Haha! I'm always excited for any card over $5. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Print!
