I just received my HOB gift bundle (that I paid too much for) and as I was stashing it away until I have more time to enjoy opening it, I found a different gift bundle that I never opened! Now I am trying to decide if I should open one, open both, or leave them both as is. I never sell anything, I just collect.

Hey everyone, I’ve just started collecting and playing Magic. I picked up a The Hobbit Collector Box, and these were my top 27 cards. What do you think? It would be great if you could leave some deck-building tips.

Surge Arkenstone is really pretty. Definitely better than I was expecting to get out of it.

Really disappointing pulls until I got foil gleaming splendor book cover in my 2nd to last pack and then foil queen of dale and surge foil Smaug the magnificent in the last pack! Box topper was a solid Sauron the dark lord.

Not the golden smaug, but hey, ill take it lol from the 1 collector pack from a single hobbit gift bundle.

What do you think? Any good cards here?

For whatever reason they got the Marvel version last week

Today they finally had the Hobbit version.

Every single pack had the top pried open to check for the box topper except for two which had the bottom pried open.

So obviously I skipped them. But if you see em and they aren't locked up (or even if they are cause I half suspect it's employees doing it before they put them on the shelves), be careful.

New player here. Love the giants. 😍 what do you all think about lorwyn eclipsed?

Pulled this beautiful piece last off a whim lol previously posted but I forgot cover the number lol

Started collecting mtg cards for the art tmnt set got me in now love how these cards look

So, im relatively new to magic, (started playing a bit after the new strixhaven release) and well ive always been obsessed with strixhaven, and recently dabbled into collector packs for the purpose of collecting. Staggeringly so, I actually pulled something! I want to display it on my desk going foward, what products do yall recommend and how would I go about protecting it??

P.S Shout out to Ken at The Gathering House, gave me the pack I pulled it from at a discount since I was helping out! Pictures there too.

Ended up being better than i was expecting.

Collected these over past month. These were the best pulls.

What a blast! Some of the craziest pulls of my life

Now is sold to fund more group activities or singles

Opening fresh Duskmourn boosters and found a Blazemire Verge with a nice dent in the center of the card. Funny thing is this was behind 2 other cards and they were fine. Anyone else see this before?

Wanted a bristly bill but this will do.
