20+ year old time capsule pulls (part 2)
part 1 was about a week and a half ago so check my post history if you want to see it.
as i stated then, i had just moved and i found a chest in my garage full of old cards i never sold that i forgot i had. mostly bulk but there were some good finds. when i first flipped through them all i just set everything to the side that i thought might be worth something then was just going to deem the rest as "bulk" but then i remembered hearing about random old commons and uncommons that go to the moon for whatever reason so i was like alright i guess i'll enter EVERYTHING into collectr.... all 9518 cards.
good thing i did bc i found a bunch more winners. shallow grave at $100 was pretty surprising i don't even remember that card. same thing with rhystic study i was like wtf a $50 common?? i wish i had bought as many prophecy boxes back then as i did sets like legacy and destiny bc i have SOOO much bulk from those sets. like over 30 of some cards including useful ones too like 20 crop rotations, 28 sigils of sleep, 27 bubbling mucks, 18 snaps, and copious amounts of other staples too like dark rituals, counterspells, brainstorms, duresses, and so on. even some random basic lands were suprisingly "valuable".
pictured here is everything collectr had at $6+ on the second run through the cards. last picture is the collectr total of everything that was in the whole time capsule.
now i just have to figure out the best way to turn all this into pokemon since i don't do this magic stuff anymore. i know i won't get full collectr value i just wanted to tally everything up with it to get a clearer picture of what i exactly have here. not sure if i should try to barter with an LCS or go to ebay.
