MTG collection

I puted all my cards out and checked every card ... It took me 3 days to check them all and to store them good enough to be able to get the card i want to see in 5 min max.
I have accumulated 700-800 cards graded image
I took the cards i like the most out and took a picture of them.
they are all psa 10 exept alpha mostly PSA 8 and beta PSA 9.

  • Cool pic Bastien - thanks for sharing image

    Actually, I've been very busy cracking out many of my PSA cards. I have decided going forward that the only cards I want slabbed are Gem 10's and rare Alpha 9's - otherwise they are fair game for crackage!!! For the time being I've kept any Unlimited 9's that I need for my set, as well as my un/common Alpha 9's. I have also kept any card who's raw value is greater than $10 that I didn't need for an upgrade to my album set. At some point I will most likely sell/trade these cards, or simply crack them to upgrade my playstock image

    It has been rather fun popping all those slabs; my album set looks way nicer now, and I have more storage space since I've thinned out another 200 slabs - LOL!!! I finally came to the conclusion that my album set is really where I wanted my focus (and $$$) to be, and I just don't have the resources to do everything I would like. After thinking about it, I decided that the only "true set" I cared about was Unlimited, and the real value of graded cards for me was to protect and display the "best of the best". Once I realized this, the rest was easy - I intend to keep my Unlimited set listed on the Registry, along with my showcase of 10's. I might do another showcase of my extras/9's, just for inventory sake.

    Of course, if I hit the lottery, then all bets are off.... image
