Just had a really similar purchase this past week! Got a lot for 600. Wound up finding two mox diamond, a lions eye diamond, a sliver queen, a grim monolith, survival and a bunch of other super crazy reserved list cards. Congrats on the find! I wish I could find another lot like that or this LOL
I’m so jealous, I’ve been playing since i was 10 in 97 … a lot of nostalgia in some of those cards . My own sliver queen is damaged I just can’t bring myself to buy another one with how much they cost nowadays!
Long term MTG player here. Great find. I had one find I paid $160 CAN for a few years ago worth about $2500 CAN. That still pales in comparison to your find. Congratulations!
Soon as i saw those Marvel cards I knew you were in the right time period for the oldest, best MTG! Soon as you showed the proxy cradle i had a feeling you were gonna find at least one real one in there. You should get that and some others checked for authenticity if you don't know how to do it yourself, for the counterfeits made back during that time. There weren't many, and 99% chance that's real. But just in case lol! Amazing find, really cool old collection.
Back in 2003 or 2004, I found all 5 Moxes at an antique store for $12 each. Guy was selling his old collection and didnt know they were still desirable. Once in a lifetime find. Unfortunately I sold them for money. Wish I’d kept them.
Oh wow! I owned 6 of the power 9 at one time including an Unlimited Lotus, but all were sold at a time of need as well. Definitely wish I still had them as they are worth way more now. Thanks for watching! :)
How can you tell the proxies from the real cards?? They look the same as the real cards?? Great haul!! You definitely got your money back and than some!!!! May I ask what program do you use to scan the cards??
The proxies that this collection had were removable labels that had been printed and stuck on top of basic land cards. In person, you can see and feel the difference. We pulled all the labels off after the video just to be sure that there were not any good cards under the labels. As far as scanning cards, if you are talking about to find value you can use tcgplayer app or just look them up on mtgstocks or cardkingdom. Thanks for watching!
whereabouts do you guys go to find stuff like that? is it just sales estates? or other places? just like to know as i'm a huge collector of magic cards as well
Did you go through the through the proxies and make sure they were fake? That would be beyond crazy if one or two of those duel lands ended up being real.
Yes, we even peeled the labels off to make sure there wasn't anything good hiding behind and they used all basic lands and some common onslaught cycle lands for all of them. I certainly wish we would have has a black bordered dual land!
I'm glad someone like yall got them. You both are clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about MTG

Yeah, I did look for that but no such luck on those. Thanks for watching!
😮
Seeing a couple this passionate find such a collection made my day
Make sure they arnt Chinese counterfeits. If you are going to trade or sell.
They are not counterfeits. In fact, all of the heavy hitters are already sold and authenticated by Ebay. Thanks for watching!
@@thrifting4treasure387 great news. Glad you got hits.
Amazing find! Would you wanna sell me the commons?
Grandfather´s adventure.
I'm guessing the expensive darksteel stuff that you fast forwarded past at 29:27 was proxies?
Looks like it. A lot of white paper borders and bad print quality.
Yes, the fast forward sections were all low value commons/uncommons or proxy stuff unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
hope you went back and gave them some more money for that legendary pull
If you want to sell them, Ill pay 60% tcgplayer market value
