Dark Knight Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I dunno anything about MTG, but am aware that some of the rarer cards are worth a lot of $$$. I don't get all the popularity and hype of it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love comic books more, so got rid of MTG for books. Edited May 20, 2017 by showcase22gr1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you made a wise decision by gravitating towards comics Interesting that since the 1990's, there is quite a popularity and audience who are still collecting these cards, play against their friends, etc. More power to those who are into MTG.

Since there are more new MTG sets produced, the audience continues to support it with new and old crowds. I'm one of the folks who enjoys the earlier stuff, but don't know enough of the new stuff. Comics was always my first choice and bought my first Silver Age Book when I was about ten in the mid 1980's. You have some mighty nice GA books, since you gravitate more towards that era.

Same here, comics will be #1 for me. Lately, I've been gravitating towards other things I enjoyed as a kid (a few toys and Garbage Pail Kids mainly) and sports cards here and there. Thanks for the nice compliment on my GA collection. I try my best to build a decent collection, just tough with prices rising on the ones I want to add . You have a fine SA collection yourself! Looking at your sig. line I'd be a kid in a candy store to have what you own with the 3 biggest SA keys leading the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Af15 is the only book that gets me excited but we it comes to reliving my childhood. I spend money on these things(knowing that they probably wont go up in value) 1. Garbage pail kids 2. Afa graded 1980s transformers, gi joe, he-man 3. Vga graded sega master system and sega genesis games ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vga graded sega master system and sega genesis games Nice to see another GPK fan! I have a complete set 1-15 with all variations from the original 80's card line in NM condition. Great selection of toys too. I had a small collection of G1 Transformers, but decided to not pursue it because there is just too many and I don't have space to collect em all if ever. The problem with vintage GI Joes from what I read in the past is the rubber band being delicate due to age attaching the torso and hip/legs area of the figure if you have a sealed card. Pretty scary if you spent hundreds or more and then years later the body is separated from the rest. I do like the new Matt Collector He-Man collection. Again, just too many to collect.

You must be quite young and got interested in GPK and all those cool 80's stuff. I have those GPK sets too and I hope you have the GPK series 9th Series unnumbered variation semi-colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 8 and 9 years old around 1984 and 1985, and those Transformers,GI JOEand Masters of The Universe action figures,comics and cartoons are very nostalgic to me. At one time GI JOE comics outsold Uncanny X-Men, while He-Man action figures outsold Superman action figures. We all know how big the Transformers franchise is now,so I won't even go there.
