I misunderstood the price of the Resplendent Angel. I thought this was the promo pack printing (which is listed at $95) but it's not, so it's more like $15. The good news is apparently one of those Pokemon cards is super valuable, so overall we actually did even better than I thought!
Pokemon player here. You hit it BIG with that Shining Magikarp. There are two versions of it, one that's $9 and the original print which is anywhere from $100-$190 depending on condition. Since yours doesn't have the Pikachu stamp in the lower right corner of the portrait, it's the original Neo Revelation print which is the expensive one. Big big hit! Other than that nothing too crazy other than the M Rayquaza EX which is around $7.
The fact that he knows nothing about other card games seems to make that true. How do you go lgs and know as little about other games. @@combosarefun4449
Get him some resealable leftovers containers to toss different types of cards in if he can’t handle keeping them in a stack. One for money, one for foils, and one for rares or something.
Just like when the professor does the booster box game, he doesn’t know the prices until after he shows them on camera. Might have a vague idea which is why he keeps mentioning what he thinks the hits are
@@lewkycharmes I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Seth probably doesn't buy 'bundles' all that often, especially since he still calls them Fat Packs. The way the basic lands have been packaged in bundles has changed a lot over the years.
I don't have ADHD but my goooodness the lack of organization when he handles the cards, pulls good cards then randomly throws lands and commons on top etc is driving me nuts 😭 Still fun to watch open!
@@Nathanael_Forlorn I think that's probably what he meant, and I have to say I agree haha. It's rough to watch from an organization standpoint. But fun to watch all the same.
I stumbled upon your page and it might be my new favorite! Good info and just fun to see what you get in a blind box opening. My husband and I are pretty new into MTG as our son and his friends are WAY into it. So, naturally, we have become fans as well. We are learning and appreciate background on different cards and play styles.
That Rise of the Dark Realms was an error card. There's no foil-stamp at the bottom. The other cards after were terribly miscut. Some people find those things collectible, and generally they hold more value as the card isn't technically "damaged".
It's clear the beginning of that set was his miscut/error selection. I play both Pokemon and I'm done with Magic, but biggest reaction was the Shining Magikarp
I mean near mint would be like $12 but ye. To be fair though I couldn't find any with that art from Ixalan with 20/23 in the bottom left so maybe that inflates the number?
This is a fun series, and this was a crazy collection! It also had some of the funniest Seth-pronunciations of all time IMO - "Poison Draht Farg" and Sirfetch'd somehow turning to "Stir-Child" both got me laughing pretty good.
Others have mentioned it in the comments but just in case you haven't seen them -- the resplendent angel you're thinking of and saw on CK's buylist is the M19 promo. Not the LCI one.
i'm convinced it's some form of reading disorder and/or concentration deficit. Sirfetch'd = Ster-child Andular Lorren Revealed Like even if you'd just cursory scan the names while flicking through, that doesn't add up. No shade to Seth of course, he's doing great anyway - it just keeps popping up a lot this video.
My jaw dropped over Pokemon cards on a MTG video. I dropped off many years ago from pokemon but it still warms my heart to see a neo destiny shining magikarp again after all these years.
Thank you for calling out Wylie Beckert! Easily my favourite artist! I started playing in Zendikar Rising and loved her work there. I still use the art card for Thwart the Grave as a bookmark.
What a great video! Every time there was a hit, I was as excited for you as if it were me going through the cards. @MVPlaysMusic ... you're a good dude! Thanks for playing a role in bringing me a little joy. :)
Seth, I love you dude. Please, if you are going to do more openings can you maybe grab smaller piles of cards so you can easily shuffle through them. I recommend looking into shuffling tips and tricks so you can work on your dexterity when messing with card board. For sure not an easy thing to do but was dying inside watching you handle these cards.
Once bought a bundle box of cards of a random guy at a flea market for $50. Forst two cards I saw was a showcase horizon canopy & one Lily of the Veil (when they were still worth $75). Bought the box & ended up with 2 more Lilies, a few fetchlands, some shocklands & so much more. Ended up with about $1500 worth of stuff not counting the $1-2 cards
The first few cards starting with Rise of the Dark realms were all misprints. The Rise is missing the hollow stamp, and the rest are miscut. The value on those will be slightly higher than normal since there are collectors who will pay a premium.
i never see this but shout out to the guy who was not only willing to sell his collection at an incredibly good price point but had the integrity to not scam you when he had every opportunity too.
The $95 resplendent angel you're seeing is from M19, not LCI. Note the collector's number. The $95 is 034, which is from M19 but the LCI one you pulled is 032
Oh also, i once asked around about some cards in collections just sticking together really weirdly sometimes. Apparently, some of the print runs somewhere sometimes just use an unfortunate combination of printing materials. If you get two of these next to each other and apply a) some pressure, like maybe forcing them into a fatpack with 2k other cards and b) some fatty accids (i think), from say, having human hands and touching things, they just chemically weld together. And while the adhesion is weirdly strong because of how spread out the effect can get, it usually isn't too strong a bond and very very rarely damages cards. Old pokemon cards are apparently the _worst_ with this, as they seemingly can just fuse together into irretrivable blocks sometimes if conditions are really bad.
There is a version worth $95, it’s the Promo Pack foil (with the silver planeswalker stamp). He was probably just looking at the wrong one when doing pricing or got a little bit too excited since that listing doesn’t have an image associated with it
How positive are you about that resplendent angel? I'm looking at that exact foil promo version on MKM and you can get English copies for less than $15 bucks. I know there's price difference between NA and EU but I can't believe it's $80 more over there.
Hey man, the One Ring that comes from the Bundle is not $65 anymore, that printing of TOR is about $48 wherever you look due to it being accessible in bundles.
That printing is $65 on Card Kingdom which seems to be where the pull their pricing from. Card Kingdom has a bit of a premium over TCG Player (more comparable to the TCGP Direct pricing)
These prices are all over the place. The One Ring in that version is only like $40 not $65. Let alone that Resplendent Angel mispriced by about 99%. Still a great buy though.
this is what i have realised about the value of our collections. They will reprint the older card until they are worth nothing, and only the newest hot thing they are selling, has value. The value of our collections rotates with every new set. Vedalken Orrery is the prime example, was $70 now $9, foil was $140 now $40.
I do keep the booster packs I open! I don't know anyone else who does but I like opening packs and remembering which ones I opened, and the art on the packs if fun :)
Foils are still special. It is just possible to foil a whole deck now because you dont have to pay 20 bucks for every decent common and uncommon in foil, that is a good thing.
as far as foil being less value than the regular, that comes down to quality and quantity. it used to be hard AF to get a foil. now, you can get collector boosters and almost all of those are foil.
Also, card conduit was the greatest thing to happen. I've had like 8 Alpha cards for sale for over a year now, and Card Conduit bought them up immediately almost at the exact price I was asking anyways. Feels good to finally get paid for those guys lol.
Hold power tablet is rotating out I. march but worth at least 10 or something. I would love to watch one of those videos where we show off Pokémon cards and ask if you think it’s broken or not lol
Values listed here make no sense. Foil promo resplendent angel on tcg low for like 4 bucks. That copy of one ring is the promo from gift bundle and is 40. Not 65
given the box it was in, and the prerelease promo... that first box was definitely a Sealed pool that the owner never looked at again after the event. it was even mostly organized by color, I bet you could pick out what his deck was

You should see him shuffle. An abomination.
It's because the stax he grabs are to large.
I guess it could be because he's mostly a digital player. I don't remember him talking too much about playing offline and at LGS:s much.

The funny thing is unless they make a non-Lord of the Rings reprint of The One Ring, that card could get insane in value.
I purchased one two months ago at $60 And RN that same print is $130!
this might be the new Reserved List as they might not be able to reprint them at all.
