    A million dollars worth of Alpha cards on the table, and a glass of water just 12 inches away.

    Well, it's very interesting to hear his perspective of the early print runs. That dispels any myth that they have a massive vault full of vintage sealed product.

    How come every time I watch a Vintage MTG video this goober interrupts as soon as something interesting starts being talked about. You've got a guy who has real insight and could share interesting stories but instead the entire video is circle-jerking about zomg so rare.
    The last video you ruined was the guy who had the misprint collection. Yes super cool to see them, but I want to hear the stories! Let your guests talk and actually listen to them.

    At this point the game of magic becomes pointless because everyone forgets about how fun the game is and just fix their eyes on the value. Kinda obvious from Pete's pov.

    That's actually a sad story. What dad takes away from you what you love most forever?? Also the timeline is confusing: assuming he is around 60 and built the deck in 93, means his dad took it away from him when he was around 35 something?

  • @ncgames6834
    @ncgames6834 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I want to see the show about how and why Peter decided to print 400mm fallen empires and who knows how many homelands cards when they probably could just as easily print more of the earlier sets. From a business standpoint, why weren't they trying to maximize the monetization of the product? Did they think that FE and Homelands would sell out, over another print run of the so called "unlimited" edition? Why did they choose to not go back to the well and print something that would sell better?

      Know this is a few years late, but I’m watching this now and looking at comments.
      Yes, when Magic first came out, you could have more than 4 copies of a card. The only requirement for deck building, was your deck has to be a minimum of 40 cards
