    I have several old, well played mtg cards like this. Never thought it would still be worth money. Dark rituals, counter spell. My best foil pull was an onslaught elvish pioneer. Had several so never played it. Its sleeved and in a deck now.

    "Heavily Played"
    You mean, "Properly Sweated with."
    Thats a card with history and if it could speak, it would probably say, "i was thrown into the Lego Bin one time and survived."

    When my cousin taught me to play, he played 4 of those in his dimir Draingeyser deck. It was hard to win.
    Edit to add time frame: They didn't even sell Magic in Texas yet. He brought them down that summer from his LGS in Seattle

    @MTGUnpacked 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Nice! Do the corners have a slight flare upward, or are they perfectly flat? Corner trimming Beta cards or re-backing are possible, but I think the light test rules out re-backing at least.

    Heavily Played condition means it's not worth collecting and is only comparable to other prints of the same art. Looking like $2-$10.

      @willausterman3104 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not true for LEA cards. The absolute minimum this should go for is $200-300. If it were a non-iconic or useless card, then $10 would be correct. Counterspell is iconic and very useful, so it's always going to be expensive if it's from LEA or LEB.

      If you think one of the most iconic Alpha cards outside the Power 9, up there with Lightning Bolt and Dark Ritual, is going to sell for $10, you're out of your mind. Alpha booster wrappings are worth more than that, and I bet you could pretty easily get even $50 for an Alpha Counterspell that's been torn in half. People are not going to buy this to put it in a plaque, but there are whales with more money than sense who would drop $500 in a frenzy just to put this in their binder. Do I think a piece of cardboard in any condition should be worth that much? No, no I do not. Are there those who piss away their money like confetti? Absolutely, and this is yet another darling for their spank bank.
