Title: what's your most expensive card? Post by TerraFrost on Dec 22nd, 2003, 9:19pm 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). |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by dry_cereal on Dec 22nd, 2003, 11:28pm 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? |

Only found in a Chinese Magazine) |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by chaosdjinn on Dec 23rd, 2003, 12:25am 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.

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by flatmatt on Dec 23rd, 2003, 5:05am I'm not sure about exact values, but my higher-end cards are basically Force of Will, Academy, and Revised Sol Ring. So yeah. |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by silver.paladin on Dec 23rd, 2003, 5:40am 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. |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by dragsamou on Dec 23rd, 2003, 11:16am Hi Members. I won't surprised anyone,my Nm+/Mint Beta Black Lotus. I was wondering if it was a Smart thing to have it PSA graded,but then it will not fit in my binder,like my PSA Time Walk ::) |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by fvzappa on Dec 23rd, 2003, 12:25pm I too have a mint Beta Lotus, but I also have a few subjective-value cards. I own a complete deck of these: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/arcana/258 In the deck is an Ancestral Recall playtest card, as well as "Starburst", a RED Time Walk that says "opponent loses their next turn". I find these to be a tad rarer than any Beta card! |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by GraueEminenz on Dec 23rd, 2003, 1:20pm I'm ashamed to mention - cause it's not that expensive but worthy to me - it's my FE Wyvern-back Hymn to Tourach ;D By the way: According to the other topic, it could have been my best deal: I bought above card for 22 Euro. And I was offered a COMPLETE set of FE Wyvern-back cards for 30 Euro each. 8) I didn't do at that time and I'm still crying when I think of it nowadays :'( Merry X-Mas to all ! JAN |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by sylvanstu on Dec 23rd, 2003, 7:57pm My MINT Beta Black lotus but I have a beat up one that I won in a dual with a friend that in my heart I value more to me its Priceless. I beat his type 1 deck with an all common burn deck and put up a mint unlimited Black Lotus. He had all the power cards in that deck. I beat him with lightning bolts, kindle's and a little fireball. never should have happened but i had Karma on my side |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by Gryfalia on Dec 23rd, 2003, 11:11pm Well, if I can cheat I would say the Splendid Genesis that I brokered, but technically I never owned it (I suppose I could have had it on hand if I wanted, but I just had the seller send it to the buyer). That transaction purchased my first self-bought computer, oh yes. Currently. Oh, I dunno, Chinese Portal Wrath of God? I won't cheat even more and claim to own the power cards I am selling off..;-) I probably have some rarities that are worth more to the right people, but they are worth more to me too..hehe.

Oh yeah, that reminds me when I owned a Summer Magic Underground Sea (Mint) for about one week :). I really owned it, I purchased it before getting the money from the final acquirer. Currently, I don't think anything matches my Beta Lotus (NMint), unless my summer pack contains a Serendib or a Hurricane or a Biland, or a Shivan, or a BoP, etc. :) Eric. |

Anyhow, another member was talking about the most expensive red card in existance, & another member brought up Summer Shivan, misleading a few to think that he owned one... anyhow, whatever, I'm still interested in Summer, Forrest. I've inquired you in the past, never got a real answer. Drop me a line, I've got some serious misprints these days. |

Title: Re: what's your most expensive card? Post by silver.paladin on Dec 28th, 2003, 7:45am I've been wondering what all this talk is about a Summer Shivan, and not really sure where it came. The first mention of it came after my post about 'Most Expensive Card', and I said a Beta Shivan (which I also said I am missing btw), but no where else am I reading about Shivan. So let me ask, if this talk on the Summer Shivan is not in regards to my earlier post in here, where did it come from, as I am getting confuzzled now. Thanks!! |

A US shop once acquired from a private collector 8 packs of Summer Magic. The guy had written the big E in the front of the pack to differentiate them from Revised packs. This shop contacted several high-end collectors they knew to seek for potential acquirers. Finally the story came into my e-mail from several sources (including Bob, Inca, etc.). I therefore contacted the shop to acquire a pack. At least two of the packs have been opened to proove they were genuine Summer packs. The other ones have been acquired by private collectors. Here it is. Regards, Eric. |

For my colectors heart my 6 Alpha Shivan Dragon one PSA 8, one PSA 7 ;D , and his bodys from the atempted Global Set. And for the story my Unlimited Two Headed Giant of Foriys that I bought in a big lot in a store in Cleavland, Ohio and he forgot to charge the $45(Yes 45, he wanted that much in 1996) for him when I payed for the lot :P. I only found out when I was back to Europe otherwise I think I would have told him. If one should get a higher Alpha Shivan PLEASE give me a chance to trade it from you. (Also if anyone of you knows the lucky collecters who own the Beta PSA 10 please let him contact me). Not to forget: I want the Summer Shivan everybody is talking about ;D |

Not sure which is the most valuable, though most say a red Time Walk takes the cake, esp. the way it is written. Either way, I play with all 3 when I can & they are priceless to me. |
