But I don't want to pay $40 for them, lol...
Let me know if you can help out! :cheers:

I read that Ebay description and still have no idea what those things are. :dunno

Protective sleeves for Magic (MTG) cards. Art on the sleeves is from an anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion. :D

Ok then. $40 does seem like too much for that. :o

Nice. It's been about 3 years since I last saw the complete EVA.

You need to check out the Rebuild of Evangelion, then...

I've heard about it. I'll look into it. Thanks.

2.22 is supposed to be even better than 1.11, but I haven't seen it yet. 1.11 was really good, I thought.

Just saw 2.22. Not going to spoil anything, but be prepared for things to to change up from the original much more than the first. I really didn't expect to go through that "WTF" confusion that I went through on my first watch of the original series. It wouldn't be evangelion if you weren't at least semi lost though. :cheers:

Have you tried any of the local places?

People still play MTG? damn, I used to play that ish in middle school. had some good decks. I think the last expansion that I played with was Ice Age, er, Homelands (which was god awful) I think. Or chronicles. I dunno, fun game though.

I was about to say the same thing. I still have my decks when I tried to get into it but I never really followed through.

Same here....I remember I kept thinking as well that the latest editions blew serious chunks and couldn't wait to move on to the next edition....I wasn't patient enough and just gave up on MTG.
A few years ago, they were giving away free starter decks so I got a couple of those, thinking I could casually play....then I realized that I had nobody to play the game with. Oh well. :dunno

Thats cool. But there are so many new abilities and other things that I have NO idea about, so I gave up. There is a comic store that opened up down the street that held tournaments etc so I thought I would go down there with a buddy of mine and check it out. Je-SUS. Might as well have labeled it the Virgin Brigade. OR, the "Ill be a virgin forever squad". You know the crowd, guys that havent showered in 5 days, greasy ---daisies--- with dreadlocks and glasses that smell like a head shop, and the poor nerdy ginger kids with freckles AND glasses.
A friend of mine recently found his cards in the attic, and I found mine too, so we started making some decks from the OG cards that we had. Luckily I had a manual, so we relearned how to play. After a few beers we got in arguments and threw the cards down and fired up the cab :lol

Haha! I had a similar experience when I went to a comic book shop with a friend last summer. We were looking at getting a new board game, and got talking to the shop owner. He started talking about some secret group that met in the upstairs of his store. I remember they were called something extremely nerdy like "The Dark Clan of Shah' Glonhalhth" and the guy actually brought us upstairs to see them (Through a cheesy "secret passage"...an incredibly obvious door with a picture frames covering up the edges). Upstairs, there were about 40 sickly pale nerds, many dressed like they were camping out for a Lord of the Rings movie premiere, you know, crappy elf costumes made from felt. They were sitting around endless hand-made models of Orc armies and villages and stuff. It must have been Warhammer or something they were playing. Way too nerdy for me. Oh, and there was one modestly hot chick in the sea of nerds. Go figure.
Anyway, the air stunk of unwashed tights and virginity. We bolted for the door pretty quickly.

I think its awesome that he showed you his secret nerd collection.

:laugh2: That's pretty accurate. The guy actually started his shop mostly for sports card memorabilia, but as a businessman he quickly swayed to the demands of the area. The whole "nerds in the attic" thing was his business strategy to both get the nerds to shop at his place and get them out of the way since a shop stuffed with uber nerds can keep the general public skiddish about shopping at his store. I had no clue I was in such close proximity to a herd of nerds until he showed me. And the nerds like it because they can dress like Gandalf with their friends and not have to be so self conscientious in a public place.

I started MTG at the end of Legends. You could still buy Antiquities packs. The hard part was finding a place that had more than a few booster packs. I had all the big cards except I never got a black lotus. Back then, you could call Wizard to find out how cards worked (since they could be interpreted a number of different ways).
I went to a tournament for the opening of Ice Age. The demographic changed quite a bit. It was a nerdfest and the room stunk. After that, I sold all my cards. I had a full set of dual lands (can't believe how expensive those got), moxes, timewalk, etc.
I remember how much Chronicles pissed me off. I was making a decent amount of side money selling/trading for card and when Chronicles came out it devalued a lot of cards.
Recently I met up with some people who still played. After trying to play a game with them, and having to read every single card because of all the new abilities and stuff I realized I was done. I pulled the remainder of my cards from the basement and sold them as 1 big lot.

The best I could find online was Seele sleeves AmiAmi (http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=CGD2-03569&template=default/product/e_display.html).
I could ask someone I know who ships stuff from Japan if he could get them though. I have no idea how much they would actually cost though (markup is probably insane for just being Evangelion for the japanese plus whatever markup importers add) so it would probably cost less than 40.

Vigo your post was great, I actually laughed out loud when I read. I kinda get a dose of that around July when the Comic Con is in town. That REALLY brings the nerds out. Its so damn popular though, I have been going every year except the last 3 years because the place is sold out. The nerdery there is uncanny.

If you could check with them, that would be cool. :applaud:

Oh wow, then you started in the golden age of MTG. I started when revised came out. Some friends at school were talking about it, and I had no idea what they were, my grandma took me to the local game shop, and bought me a starter deck. I was hooked for a long time. Yeah, Chronicles sucked, I hated that set, pissed me off for the same reason.
Yeah, my friend and I played with cards where Rampage was the hardest thing to decipher. Now there are all kinds of new things/phases/abilites etc. I was thinking of doing that, but I am a nostalgia freak, and I held on to em. The box I kept em in was super custom, and I remember making it etc, so I didnt want to get rid of it.

What you could do is sell off the valuable cards and keep the bulk of the cards for if you ever wanted to play. I was surprised what they were selling for on ebay. A long time ago I sold my valuable cards (valuable at the time). I kept a big box of cards.... weird stuff like beta lands, urza/mishra lands that wasn't valuable. After recently trying to play some magic again - I decided I was done. I sold the whole box of cards for a small sum.
I sold my cards and haven't regretted it.

My brother just sold his lot off about a year ago for about $4500... he kept just a few of his decks.

It's funny how seeing uber nerds can ruin an experience.
My friend and I were reading a comic called Y the Last Man and .. some comic about fairy tale creatures in the real world (Fables?). We had recently gotten into it shortly after finishing college. It was pretty cool to be able to be nerdy with someone (a girl too) and it was fine. But then this super nerd, (red curly hair, chubby and short, glasses, sweater, sounded like a stereotype from the simpsons) started correcting someone about a statement they made about a world or warcraft, comics, or magic.. something like that. Then we walked away and ran into another one! We ran for the door.
You know... I feel the same way about the super video game invested kids who argue about games and talking about what they did in a video game in detail. I used to do that too, back when it was snes vs sega, up to ps1. We'd gather and talk about our game playing. Now it's more like
Friend "Hey, you played MvsC 3?"
Me "Yup, pretty bad ass, the controllers are a little weird"
Friend "Yeah, wanna go get a beer?"
Okay maybe not, but the point is that we move on to other stuff.. how's the gf, dating anyone?, work, movies, funny stories that happened recently. Don't get me wrong, we play.. just don't talk about it too much.
