Seems there's a lot going on with the MTG sets lately. 4 of the top 5 sets in Unlimited are all updated and the Alphas are bustling too. What's up with the Betas? It's like a ghost town over there.
Big congratulations are in order for Michael. NO MORE 7s!!! I'm jealous. I still have two of those buggers hiding out in my set. I hate Fungusaur so much... sigh...
Keep up the good work guys,
Jake

Overall I was pleased with the results. I knew this group wasn't as strong as my last one, and PSA seemed to agree. I was a little suprised by the Blinding Angel (10 for sure) and the Phantasmal Terrain (8 - WTF???), but otherwise the grades were about what I figured. Nice to see PSA and I are on the same page
After a year of soul-searching and looking at my collection, I have decided which direction I want to head in going forward. I realized that I simply couldn't do everything I wanted and tried to settle on what was most important to me. I got back into collecting MtG 3 years ago to finish my Album Set; after going in many directions since then I have finally come back to making that my primary focus once more. Along with that, the only "natural set" that I was really interested in was Unlimited, as it isn't part of my Album Set and still is my first true love in MtG (you never forget your first, right?).
To this end I have begun using my PSA cards to upgrade and fill in my Album Set - going forward the only cards I plan to keep slabbed are "the best of the best" so to speak. I will keep my Unlimited set intact and will showcase my PSA 10's (and 9's of Alphas or other big $$$ cards). My new purchases will be only to improve on my Album Set (which consists of one of each card picture, old style, and mint, black-border, foil, signed & english if possible) or my Unlimited set. I will keep my PSA Showcase cards, both as a display piece and a starting point if I decide someday to finish those sets.
I'll tell you one thing, I'm getting very adept at cracking slabs open

I have the 2 first but i realy like the TOLARIAN ACADEMY ... if i could find one PSA 10
I have one with a little ding on an edge ... PSA 8 i guess :-(
Unlimited is the most famous set from those that saw the begin of MTG first because it s the first set avaible for foreign country and second because most of player from 1993 bought their first booster at the unlimited series.
However alpha is the dream set for foreign old MTG collector because most foreign almost didn t see them ... Now with ebay it s much more easier to get an alpha
And beta is the best set for player (Black border / no misprint / same size) ...
Having no more 7s is pretty cool, a real milestone ... I think I've only got about 25 more 8s to get rid of as well, so I'm pretty happy with the Alpha set at the moment. Still never going to be #1 again, but hey never mind!
Thulnath: Glad to see you got some good results too - I guess you won't be needing that Benalish Hero after all! I might drop you a mail to see if I can pursuade you to part with a couple of your unlimited PSA 10 cards if you're not going for a full set. I'm sure we can come to some sort of an arrangement. lol
I bought some of this set and got them graded ... I don t like this set because it s a later set and there is no power cards... It was nothing for me before (in 1995-97 a friend show me this bleu hurricane and no one wanted because it was misprinted LOL ! )
Well i refused him my revised well printed goblin king (i was looking for something better : not misprinted at least)
Now that it worth lot money i bought some just to have some rarity of this rare set ...
I saw kikta bought ton on those, any one know those collectors ?
Yep, I figured since you offered me the Hero that if I only got 1 10 in the whole batch, it'd be that one . I do plan to get my Unlimited set all PSA 10 someday, but for now I'm happy to have it complete with partial PSA 10 / partial NM-MT raw & PSA 9 (except for 8 or so cards I still need to upgrade). BTW - how do you get paragraph breaks in you set descriptions? I typed them in but it just ran all my words together; I had to go back and add commas just so it made sense!!
Check out magiclibrarities if you want to see the Summer collectors - those boys have some neat stuff!!

So you can get paragraph breaks by using the HTML >P< before your paragraph to make it start on a new line. You can also use >br< to break up some the text. Best thing is to experiment a bit.
If you are more proficient in HTML (or a web page design program) you can do some quite cool things! I'm expect others probably have more experience than me in this area, I've not really done any webpage writing for about 10 years now!
I'd love to have the "different cards" e.g. Unholy Strength, Hurricane from Summer. I haven't seen a complete set, although I'm sure there must be someone out there working on one. Maybe I'll add it to my list at some point. Magiclibrarities, as Jared says, is a great place for the more unusual Magic aspects!
I still can't get paragraph breaks
sigh....
