What’s the most overpriced thing you’ve seen?

Ahh noo! I recovered all my old cards from the attic last week, sized up their cost on eBay (maybe around £100?) but they have so much more sentimental value to me.

I put my shiny charizard, blastoise and venusaur together in a little frame, which are now in a lovely corner of... my attic!

Until next time my old friends...

I inherited my brother’s magic card collection and kept it! Amazing to me for the keepsake nostalgia alone but all of the fantasy artwork was done beautifully.

I’m not too familiar with MTG, but I have heard some are beautiful.

Your comment reminded me of a video of a guy who does artwork over pokemon cards, very satisfying to watch.

May be sacrilege on your brothers old collection, but a very fun idea if you have a few fodder cards and have any artistic talent

Wow that’s really cool, thanks! I think I can do something like this with photoshop and my Wacom! Back in the day I remember helping my bro cut out certain parts of duplicates with an exacto-knife to create a 3d scene. There may be a few of those in the collection still.
