I don’t know if they allow other grading companies images on here...

So I’ll just post a cropped image. Quad 9++. Always loved the image and name. Back when I collected in middle school it was rare to see much of anything prior to Revised in the hands of anyone local.

That is perfectly fine just the way you did it.  You just need to leave out the label for any services working across the street.  Beautiful and hot card you have there!

I have an EDH deck for this guy. I haven't used it or retooled it in awhile. It's probably my favorite art:

No longer in my Demons & Zombies deck, but it's possibly my favorite artwork of all-time:

I love the promo art on these cards. I owned them for awhile, but added them to my Artifact deck last year:

Crown jewel of my Angels & Knights deck:

The favorite Creature from my Time Wizard deck:

I bought this baby a few weeks ago for my Dragons & Goblins deck:

I bought this guy at the same time as Drakuseth:

One of my all time favorite cards.  Beautiful card!

Not particularly flashy, but the first two rares I ever opened in a starter pack.

I don't use this guy anymore, but it was a menace in my Blood Pet combo (and Artifact) deck for awhile:

I recently got back into buying MTG and was wondering why, in comparison to Pokémon and sports cards, modern cards don’t get slabbed as often in MTG? I’m not talking bulk stuff, but like lottery cards and expeditions or even older foils... Am I missing something? I mean 6-700$ for an extended art foil jeweled lotus, I’d feel much better knowing it’s a 10 than taking someone’s word for it...

Possibly because people actually play MtG.

You can play with the regular version, are people actually using showcase lottery cards in games? I haven’t played since Weatherlight so I’m legit curious about this...

Not sure, but I know that people use Expeditions, etc. I have an all-Judge Foil deck, for example.

Hmmm, what a weird collector environnement... I understand the love of the game and pimping out your deck but I find a healthy secondary or collector market is key to longevity. Comics are for reading but it doesn’t prevent millions of books from being slabbed. Read trades, slab floppies. Why is it so different in Magic?

Comic books and trading card games are completely different things. Magic cards are used for P2P interactions and competition. The only difference between a graded Mox Diamond and a double-sleeved Mox Diamond is that one of them is useless.
