Y en a un qui, ce week-end au GP Vegas, a voulu concurrencer morphilou visiblement (pour 109 k$ selon ses dires) :
Thanks to a massive crypto cashout, I finally have the opportunity to live the nerd dream of splurging an obscene amount of money on magic cards without blinking! My focus is on dual lands, which are cards I was never able to afford as a kid but now are small peanuts

I went absolutely nuts!
Here's what I purchased mostly from GP Vegas and several well established online sellers (shoutout to ABUGames and Card Kingdom). Also shoutout to the owner of Grey Ogre who kindly educated me on the intricacies of buying high end cards and how to tell fakes, etc.
1) Full 40 revised set with plenty of extras to play with if I wanted. The competition at the GP was FIERCE for these! I could only find played copies for a lot of them outside of graded ones which are severely overpriced in my opinion. I still found a few very nice minty ones, however. See scans below.
2) Full 40 unlimited set. These are in much better condition than the revised ones, mainly because I didn't get too much competition buying them at the GP since most people are scooping up revised. Very nice, beautiful cards.
3) Full 40 FBB set. Most of these are picked up at the GP. Competition was pretty fierce for these, and unfortunately I was not able to find matching languages for everything. Still, the conditions are excellent, especially one of the German underground seas which is drop dead gorgeous. This is where the nerdgasms start.
4) ALMOST full 40 Alpha/Beta set. I didn't manage my funds too smartly so I came up short before being able to complete the 40 here, but I'm happy with what I have. It was such a baller moment when I walked up to a vendor, looked in their case, and said: "Are these all Alpha/Beta? Yeah I'll take everything. *Drops mic* Haha." Still need: 2 Tundra, 2 Volcanic Island, 1 Underground Sea, and 1 Bayou, otherwise everything else is there, and the conditions are excellent for the most part. These cards are so beautiful. Hnnnnnghhhhh.

I also picked up a full set of gorgeous power 9 online, but some of the pieces are still in transit/shipping so I'll post those separately when they arrive!
Enjoy this amazing view of magic's legendary history!
