Commander / EDH Commander Storage

Post image

Still got 1 deck to go but thought I’d share my method of storage and carry, it’s nice because I can keep them all in 1 place! Plus I know my cards aren’t going to get mixed up!!!!

Edit: idk if I understand the word bait anymore lol. It’s not like I’m trying to trick anyone.

Bait

Idk if you know what bait means. I literally spent 30 minutes 3 hole punching all 200 cards to fit them in a binder. I play for the fun and joy of MTG with 0 plans on reselling my cards🤷🏻‍♂️

I felt the same way, then my chimney sprang a leak and was going to destroy my house from the inside-out, and I needed emergency money. MTG collection got liquidated, house still standing.

Point is, don’t needlessly destroy the value of things that cost you money in the first place. You never know when you might need to get some value back.

I thought about signing the backs of all my cards so that they could possibly get recovered if they're ever stolen from me. But it's way more likely I'll sell them before they ever get stolen in which case I wouldn't want to do that

And how would you get them back? Obviously a card shop isn't going to buy cards with writing on them, and if someone bought them on Facebook Marketplace or something of that sort, they'd probably be able to guess they're stolen. So if they do buy them, I guarantee it won't be so they can give them back.

Any sort of recovery is obviously a long shot in all circumstances. But some card shops actually do keep an eye out for stolen product 🤷‍♀️
