i like to think i have a nice collection, but... i have a feeling my collection pales in comparison to some of the collections, here, heh.
according to the MOTL price guide, my most expensive card is, at around $34.00, a beta sol ring. i traded it from a friend who had bought it at some store that's since closed.

It would have to be my mint Beta Lotus, although my entire Beta set is mint. Actually, I have mint sets from Beta until now, excluding some of the newer promos. Only missing 2 mint Alpha Moxen (Jet and Sapphire).

Keep those cards out of your nose, and then maybe they might start being worth something some day!!

I donno. I have alot of cool cards that aren't overly pricey (expensive on ebay). Also, MOTL isn't perfect, especially for rarity collectors. Personally, I love my crimped foil alt-art rhox [thanks sylvanstu  ], but by MOTL it's worth nothing. Anyway, if you like your collection, odds are it's really nice. I don't have nearly as incredible a collection as the others in this forum, however my collection is always growing. I don't mind my collection not being perfect, that just lends more to discover.
also, what is that frostjedi forum thing?

NM beta lotus is probably my most expensive single card. As for collection, let's just say it is almost complete...

i don't know how much crimping adds to it, but the fact that its the alt-art rhox foil almost lowers its value, imho. i mean, most foil rhox's that are sold on ebay are actually the alt-art type that people have misidentified as being in nemesis. to find a foil rhox with the nemesis expansion symbol and with the normal art is surprisingly hard, heh. however, like i said, i don't know how much crimping adds to the value of a card, and just because a card isn't worth a million dollars doesn't mean you can't treasure it, heh. for example, my most prized card (not my most valuable) is, i think, my gem mint beta icy manipulator.

I'm not sure about exact values, but my higher-end cards are basically Force of Will, Academy, and Revised Sol Ring. So yeah.

I don't know for certain what my most expensive card is, but since I own 1 of each Red and Land card, (only missing Beta Shivan), I guess I would have to say my top cards are Ali from Cairo, Japanese Coro Coro, Japanese Goblin Mutant, Zodiac Dragon, Diamond Valley, Library of Alexandria, Mishras Workshop.
Now, if there are other Red or Land cards worth more than the above, well, I have them too (i am 99% sure), but since I do not know the values anymore, I could not say what is, or is not, my most expensive.
