We did an eBay scan of dual lands too--a full set would be around $300-500. Something to keep in mind for the emergency fund, I guess.

I have two of each, except for Taiga, which naturally drives me batshit. Part of me is tempted to sell the 9 extra, but the other part of me wants to buy the 1 Taiga.

Has anyone ever sold collectible books/prints online? Is eBay the best or is it better to set a price and sell it through a site like Alibris that is more aimed at collectors? I have too much stuff and too little money myself.

I have been mainlining TV shows via Netflix. Am on Season 3 of Eureka and Just watched the pilot of Damages. HOLY SHIT! Does Damages stay this good?

I really liked the first season, but missed the second because I was too crazed and couldn't keep up with all my tv. Now I wish I had because the third seems like it's shaping up crazy.

I keep trying to figure that out, too. I really need to figure out where the best place to sell the limited edition "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" book is. Because it's collectible, it's signed, and even though I love Neil Gaiman's writing, I am never ever going to read that book again. Some of the "death scene" photos are too much, even for my morbid sense of humor.
Hubby talks on Monday to the guy with the 6K in cash for Magic. If he doesn't show proper appreciation, I will definitely contact you.
Well, the 6K cash in hand IS a good deal. We recently sold off a bunch of sealed boxes (nothing super-rare, but still), and made about that much. Now if I could only convince Pete to sell off the complete sets of things he's got.

I've sold things through Amazon's second-hand bookselling, and I feel like that gets the most visibility, although they take a commission. Mostly I've sold fairly pricey academic books that are in print, or recently out of print, but not old or rare. You might ask a local bookseller if they take things on commission?

It's nuts, I haven't played the game in decades, but then I look at the cards and love the art, and I remember how much fun it was. Then I remember how much I hate the twistiness of modern rules--and of modern players--and know I won't be playing it anymore. Maybe I'll just grab screen shots and create a slide show of the prettiest stuff.
Oh, and Pete's signature on a card makes common cards more valuable, BTW.

Looks like there will be boozin' on the deck shortly. Woohoo!
Found out my pool is closing tomorrow, not monday. So tomorrow begins the schlep to far flung Ys. They totally screwed the scheduling because the next nearest doesn't reopen until Monday. Bleh.

Heh. Good to know.
He's been selling some of the original art, which is good but crazy. We had to sit down and decide which pieces were NOT ever for sale. (Baron Sengir. And the painting of me for the V:tES card.)
