I got a ton of old cards. Between revised - 5th edition and stuff like Ice Age, Arabian nights, etc. Are they really worth anything? Online price guides are pointing me to several cards I remember having being worth $40+, but i am very skeptical. |

On the other hand, there are cards with alleged market prices of hundreds to thousands of dollars. |

Thanks! I'll take that as a "don't hold my breath" on prices I see online, but I might get a bite or two for some pocket cash if I am looking to sell and willing to point out my more "valuable" cards. --- Quote from: opt2not on September 05, 2019, 12:50:00 am ---Never played Magic. But I’m really into Card Fighter Clash on my Neo Geo Pocket Color, which I’m told has similar gameplay to Magic. --- End quote --- I'll have to try that, thanks! If you are looking for another Magic-esque game to try, give Culdcept a shot. I have the 3DS one. The best way I can describe it is Magic played with a monopoly board. Instead of directly attacking with monsters and spells and such, you assign monsters to properties you land on. If someone else lands on your property, you can fight for the property with creatures in your hand. You win, you take over the property, you lose, you pay in Mana. AI can get plenty tough, so worth trying. Most other rules mimic magic pretty closely. |

I found I had four "Force of Will" from back in the Alliance set which go for around $100, and they gave me $60 credit on the spot, so you might be able to do something similar. I've been using an app on Android called "Delver Lens" which will scan cards and look up market value. Makes is really quick to ingest large numbers of cards pretty quickly. I scanned some 600 white cards in less than 20 minutes. I do find that it has trouble differentiating between Alpha, Beta, Revised, and Unlimited though, so sometimes it gives you wacky high numbers if it thinks it's an Alpha, but that's pretty quickly corrected. My youngest daughter has had fantastic luck with booster packs lately and has kept a running credit balance at the store just by re-selling cards. |

Been playing Hearthstone periodically for the last 4 or 5 years, I hear that it is a lot like Magic. Honestly I think it is one of the best games ever made. Never have a seen a game with such ever changing possibilities, visual flare and personality than when playing Hearthstone. |
