True. I’m honestly jealous. No deals like that where I’m from. I buy bulk lots all the time and usually it’s about 10 US dollars per 1000 cards. This was definitely a steal.
im not shure i could call that trash regardless just because that's less then a penny per card if you tried to buy that many from a site or store without setting up a deal you would be shelling out at least a penny a land around 10 cents a common, for the uncommons,rares, between 1-5 dollars on average, and mythics 5+ and thats not even getting into the actual cards
My local game store does this thing where they sell out all their bulk in these mystery boxes. I know it's mostly trash, but sometimes they do put some cool gems in them. My dream is to one day take three or four bulk boxes and try to have a tournament with them with friends. be like "yeah idk what's in here either, let's just slap some stuff together and see how it goes." Looking forward to future videos
Just recently did two drafts with friends with already opened cards put back as boosters and had a lot of fun. Did that for years with other friends with the original Kamigawa Cycle set. Gonna sleeve these cards up now to allow for more re-playability in the future.
I bought some random bullk cards from ebay. My friend and I will play games with them, and honestly, it's the best way to play MTG. We each will have 1 hour to build our decks without lands, then you can't add or remove any cards after that hour, then add your lands and go at it. Both of us are choosing cards from the same boxes, so it's an even playing field. I prefer playing MTG this way, because it's not about who has the best cards, or who looked up the best strategies. Definitely worth it.
While this is true, it is never that simple. It takes an enormous amount of time to sell this many cards, and that is not including shipping costs if you become an online vendor. It just isn't worth it to sell those cards that are only a few cents, which is why we see so many bulk postings for dirt cheap.
the cost of selling these cards are just not worth it, you'd be making a loss for every card you sell, even if you sell it for 0.1 each which implies a more than 10x return. Just thinking of cataloging and organizing these cards for sale (online or LGS) will cost a fortune.
So many people buy bulk (unsorted, non-machined) for ~$6 /1000. That's easily worth this buy. Once you get sick of looking through for >$1 cards, or buylistables, then you just dump the rest for more than you paid. Easy
Just because a card is a common doesn't mean its going to be cheap. There are cards like Rat colony that are worth more than rares. In 40k cards your odds of return are pretty good.
Heck, just look at Impact Tremors before it was reprinted in MOC. I was planning on selling my playset from DTK back when they were around 5 USD each, but sadly never got around to listing them before the price dropped 😢 They're still almost a dollar, but it's not the same, haha
I'd love to go through this mess! I love going thorugh "bulk" and finding gold. I played in 99-2004 or so, and got back into it a couple times buying some stuff around Innestrad, then picked up again just before covid for Zendikar. I collected all the old foils I could get my hands on in the 2000's and kept everything protected in binders or sleeves. Glad I never parted with anything, like my friend who got and sold several power 9 over the years. I could use a lot of stuff from this time range probably.
15:37 you passed right by Pick your Poison from MKM, worth over $2 because of utility in modern. Oh also, I’m quite jealous, cause this collection looks like a super cool find. I’m excited to see more of these as you get thru some of those boxes lol
If i had a son this would be the best way to introduce them to Magic Like you now have a 40k cards collection they aren't supergood cards but you can make a lot of simple decks with them so you won't be bored and that why you can improve your deckbuilding skills
@@danieldover3745 I was lucky enough to catch my friend's epiphany day when he realized he can't carry around a collection of ~4-5k cards until he dies and snagged them for free.
except this isn't actual mystery cards. you can be pretty darn certain that you ain't getting shit when buying such a massive card bulk. the seller will have made sure to sort out all the valuable cards. a true mystery box would at least give you a chance of someone being nice to you and include cards of value but not in this case. sorry to piss on the parade here.
There is nothing more relaxing than just going through 5k+ cards despite the hand pain the day after. I hope you pull something that's good for your desert EDH deck.
Woah that is insane. I got into Magic around 2 months ago through Jumpstart and was looking at buying a bulk lot like this just to sort through and learn more cards but best prices I found were like 4k cards for $60 when I last looked. Getting 40k cards for $120 is amazing!
Buy singles! I got into magic again after many years and the infistructure set up for getting exactly what you need is awesome. Unless playing the other game is to your taste of course! 😂
Ive been playing for about 10years and im casual af. I couldn’t tell you a single thing about how rare or good a card is. I’m the type that is fine just building a deck with what i think would be fun. Getting a collection like this, i would be like “ omg i can build a deck to fit any theme i want” and not give 2 shuts about the rarity
Uhhhh are you going to get into pauper? My brain got so hyped every time I saw a pauper card. I personally would be starting a pauper library if I did that.
$88 USD is an awesome deal for that many bulk cards, i just paid $20 USD for 1,ooo card bulk lot & I thought that was very reasonable for something that retails for about .26 per card on average
i wish i was friends with someone like you, i do like going through mass random cards and organizing them. My collection is slowly being organized in such a way that i'm filtering out the "chaff useless" cards and i keep moving the "good cards" into their own box's. And i've even decided to make it easier on myself having a box dedicated to cards that are part of combos.
I saw one person bought a lot and got a mana crypt in there. The best card I’ve found is like spell pierce at a nice cool .27 cents (even if tcgplayer tries to lie to you and have the “recommended card” be a slightly played with one for 14 dollars? While the rest are 20 something cents)
As someone who only buys singles and effectively started playing proper 2ish years ago I can say I probably spent more to buy cards you just found in there. What a steal
pringling just happens due to differences in humidity, so conspiracy 2 was probably printed somewhere with a different humidity than it normally prints at.
I think 120$ for 40k cards might be less than the value of the paper - What I'm saying it this would probably be a good Deal even if they were all Basic Lands
Get a scale. Weigh 1000 cards. Weigh a box. Then weigh ALL the cards inside the box, and subtract the weight of the box. Boom you know roughly how many cards you have
Or what if I get a scale and then weigh a card to see how much it weighs, then do that for every card and add up the total weight, then divide it by the number of cards I weighed and I'll know how many cards I have!
We had some people come by our local club that gave away bulk pokemon and yugioh cards. The club rep accepted and asked how many cards it was the person responded "oh we didnt count the number, we're counting in kilos rn" It turned out to be something like 60kg of mostly pokemon and some yugioh card that we are now going through to try and start some form of local pool games with lol
there's a lot of "Proxy Support"up here :D or create a huge Cube or Draft experience with something like 10 packs each running around, pulling what could emerge from that soup :D
40,000 cards that is cheper a commander precon price these days. I just recently return to MTG after almost 20 years hiatus because of commander format is so fun with buddies. I need this kind of deal right now.
i used to buy a lot of random bulk i would sort it and take what i want and give the rest to my buddy. i gave him over 120thousand cards bulk. i think he has around 600k cards now
to anyone wondering before watching...yes it is very much worth it to buy 40k for 120, in any scenario, its always worth it. Even if its 40k of the same card its worth it
Once you're done separating the gems from the bulk, I expect you'll have enough cards left to build a fine cardboard castle for Snug. Though I expect you'll save that revelation for the final episode of the series, along with all the Hashep Oasis you sneakily set aside😉
the problem with buying massive collections is it is going to be 99% bulk be it the massive pile of under 1 cent commons or the fact that 90% of rares are under 20 cents... 40000 cards sounds like alot until you realize its only like 2000 rares 99% of which you would never be able to sell as a single
