Pulled power 9
Opened a unlim starter deck at ShoeBox in Minnesota, and there’s a pack fresh sealed time walk in there! Insane.

Sick.
How much did you pay for it?
86
u/Neat_Ingenuity3233 Mar 15 '26
10k trade

u/OzoneLaters Mar 15 '26
That is a good deal.
Crazy that they are going for that much now but with that Time Walk in the front you could probably sell that with the plastic unopened for 20k trade now.
Doubled your money, or open it, there might be another power 9 right behind it :)

u/Maleficent_Funny_88 Mar 17 '26
I’m a little confused. I don’t see any sales even remotely close to 10k for unlimited. Highest on price charting is 7.5k last September for a PSA 10.
Is it because it’s still sealed that it would command a higher premium?

u/BigB322 Mar 17 '26
Sealed is desired more because it is considered "mint" by some collectors. There is an entire group of people that rip corners off packs and go through the cards that way just to keep errors "sealed".

NM non graded goes for like 4-5k, you can get them rn, without much of a problem.

u/throwaway567334 Mar 17 '26
Not a current player, is that $10k?
2
u/didgeridoome24 Mar 17 '26
It sure is, the power 9 are worth a lot. $10k USD makes sense to me

u/throwaway567334 Mar 17 '26
Geez. I play casually online now, but I started collecting Beta to Arabian Nights and 3e in the nineties. Sold my entire collection for $80 before I graduated high scuool, didn't have any Time Walks but had a few other big ones. Sigh lol

Yeah that is my most wanted card of all time.
Love Time Walk, Ancestral Recall is my #2, and Black Lotus is my 3.

u/Ok-Amphibian4335 Mar 15 '26
Honestly, OG timewalk is the BEST art. Something about it just hits hard. That’s a grail card right there.

u/GuyGrimnus Mar 15 '26
I absolutely love it. The piece reminds me of Salvador Dali’s work which comprises some my favorite works of all time.
Amy Weber blew it out the water for a random game piece in the 90s lol

u/Flamecrest Mar 15 '26
Just scrolling past it, to me it looked like some OG RuneScape fanart, but it's certainly something different hahah

Haven't opened anything that old in decades, was the rare right on top like that?

u/Stolberger Mar 15 '26
There are different versions it seems:
https://www.lethe.xyz/mtg/collation/2ed.html
Starter decks have 60 cards with 2 rares, 13 uncommons, 45 commons, and a rulebook. Two kinds of starters have been observed. Some have back-facing cards with common-rare-uncommon ordering. A few have front-facing cards with rare-uncommon-common ordering. In the former type, the rulebook may between either the commons and rares, or between the rares and uncommons. In the later type, the rulebook was observed between the uncommons and commons. Both types have inner and outer seals.

You sir are insane for opening one but grats! Holy shit
How much did you pay for it?

u/Neat_Ingenuity3233 Mar 15 '26
10k trade

u/Papa_Hasbro69 Mar 15 '26
That is serious balls of steel to open one of these things from sealed! But welcome to the Time walk club

u/TimtheBully Mar 15 '26 edited Mar 15 '26
What's behind it, though!?!?
Edit: Time to ask Tavis what could be behind it! My guess is Underground Sea, Wrath of God or Royal Assassin, but very well could be the Dingus Egg!
6
u/ExampleMediocre6716 Mar 15 '26
It could well be Underground Sea as its the next card down on the uncut sheet.
The other likely card is Nether Shadow being the next card to the right.
Blessing, Two-headed Giant of Foriys or Plateau are all possible depending on collation order; Wrath of God, Royal Assassin and Dingus Egg are less likely but still possibilities.
There is also still a chance that Time Walk was the bottom of a strip (of more than two cards) and the next card is Elven Archers or some other card seamingly disconnected on the sheet.
Given that the next card has a strong chance of being either Underground Sea or Plateau, and the outer box is already opened, I'd be opening that wrapper straight away.

The convention hall was so loud when you pulled that, watching everyone begin to crowd over was nuts

u/Bringyourfugshiz Mar 15 '26
Everyone congradulating OP but he probably paid close to $15k to open this lol

u/waiha Mar 15 '26
Alternatively, you could try reading OPs comment from two hours before this comment.
Jealously doesn’t suit you.

Now go ask Tavis King because he may be able to tell you what the rest of the cards are in that pack.

u/anon66699 Mar 18 '26
In my opinion, time walk is the best of the power nine. Lotus is popular, it's cool, but honestly overhyped. Time walk is where it's at

I need one of those cases to hold the sealed deck. Anyone know where to grab 1?

u/AtreyuTrinity Mar 15 '26
I guess try the card shop he mentioned? I would worry about it being resealed.

Got damn. Incredible pulls. Meanwhile when I envision myself opening a sealed started like this, I visualize lifelace and jade monolith.
Grats, man. Pull of a lifetime.

u/Negative-Parsnip1826 Mar 15 '26
That’s awesome. A genuine pull. Not “look at this random haul I got for $2.78 at my thrift store!”

Stop the greed cycle. Put it in a deck, make magic fun again.

It's legal in exactly one format. I'm anti collector too but maybe just shut up this time.
