that's the funniest thing i heard all day....
<< <i>Do you ever wonder how you would choose your words if you had to explain this to a starving kid from Paraguay? >>
I'd settle for how the outside of the case became so disgusting. Did the flower "pollinate?"

<< <i>Boo- That is some of the funnist sh*t I've heard all month. Reminds me of the South Park where they sent away for a starving kid from Africa and Cartman is explaining that appetizers are what you eat before dinner to make you hungrier.

He wound up buying another for her from a shop (the actor was Pee Wee Herman) that charged him a healthy price - since it was "Pristine."
He handed her the card - she looked at it and summarily FOLDED IT, shoved it in her pocket and walked up the stairs.
He should have gotten the Anti-Hero of the Month Award!

Sure you would. But then, you're not a starving kid from Paraguay.
I don't mean to pick on this guy, or on whomever might actually buy this card, since it could be argued that any 5 digit purchase of a sports card is, in a way, just as irresponsible. But even for someone who's well versed in the perversities surrounding the market for collectibles in the US this seems a little excessive.
<< <i>well.. if he sells it i'll be amazed >>
It's kind of like the 2001 BGS 10 Bowman Chrome Pujols. He won't get that asking price ( I hope), but these 'Black Lotus' cards sell for around $700 or so in PSA 7, so he'll probably sell this for some eye popping figure that will leave all of us here wondering why we weren't buying boxes of Magic instead of Stadium Club 13 years ago.

The seller has a LOT of really nice MtG cards. I don't think he's really concerned about selling it; more likely he's looking to see interest and use it as advertising (the card is featured prominently on his webpage). The last couple of PSA 10 Beta Black Lotuses (Loti?) sold for around $6000 each. I would guess there might be a buyer at $10-15K, but not 50K. Besides, you never know who might come along...
I can safely say it won't be me, however

The thing about the Alpha cards is nearly every card in the set sell for 3 to 5.00 and can got up to 2000.00 for a ungraded Black Lotus. With Arabian Knights there were 40 packs in a box and nearly every pack has a 100.00 card in it. There are an average of 3 Juzam Djinn and 3 Library of Alexandria's in every box. With an estimated 2500 sets of Alpha and Arabian Knights made and most cards from the sets being highly playable finding mint cards are very rare.
I have been considering getting some of my more modern cards graded just to have, but I hate to do that since they are no longer playable once graded.
<< <i>I still kick myself over the first MTG cards that came out in 1994. I was offered at a show 4 boxes of Alpha and 3 boxes of Arabian Knights for a total of 225 dollars and I did not take it. Now the boxes of Alpha alone can bring 15,000 each and the Arabian Knights can bring about 15 to 20K each.
