Random Card of the Day

Classic card from a clasiic series of the classic game. Love those MTG Betas.

This was one of the first sets of MTG.  They have come a long way in the art work.  My sonplays this with his friends at local shops.  He also collects certain artists' work. Not what I am into but I had fun scanning and loading many of the front images of the cards he has.

Never got into the game myself... tried staring at it ... but.. I got nothin' !!

I started playing this game around 1995 and quit after I had my first son. (Life gets in the way of fun and games) Then when he was old enough to play he got me back into it again. Amazing that a collectible trading card game has survived and thrived for 25 years. You would have done well to invest in cards from this set instead of sports cards at this time. Check the pricing of Beta cards listed on TCG Player, the "Beckett" of trading card pricing. Many of these cards are worth thousands of dollars. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a sports card from 1993 with that kind of value. I'm not sure what kind of Magic community is here on TCDB, but I have thousands of MTG cards that I can scan and upload and trade. It's all a matter of time involved. Getting my sports cards up has been priority 1 and that's still a work in progress.

I never realized that early 90s Orlando Magic regional sets were so New Agey. 
Sports Marketing was really different back then.  

 

 I'm all for randomness but enough wth the Magic already.

Randomness is just that... random. I think the idea here is to introduce the membership to things (sports, cards) they may never have been exposed to before. It can't randomly come up all the time.

I got into Magic in 1994 (my first set was Revised). As far as investments go, would have been worth buying the big cards at the time, like any of the Mox cards which were $70-$80 and now go for well north of $1k.

I still collect artifact cards and have cards to trade. Hoping to see more MTG players and collectors come across the site!

I got in for 4th edition but ended up going back to pick up the power 9. Three of my Moxes are Beta along with the Ancestral. The rest are Unlimited. It's insane what they're worth now. My Lotus is pretty beat, but it came in a trade for what were big standard cards at the time. I think I ended up with the best of that deal. Still have an extra Unlimited Mox Pearl and Ruby and Unlimited Ancestral.
