So, I was big into MTGO in the past and was the biggest foil dealer online before I quit in 2006. Well, I had a hunch about Lion's Eye Diamond--so I hoarded the Foil Lion's Eye Diamonds. I was only able to get my hands on 16x, but I worked hard on buying every single one from anyone I knew and could find for a few months prior.

Well, I logged on this week and dumped them fast. Here is what I sold for. I had less than 1000x tix invested.
Deal1: 1225 x4
Deal2: 1200 x4
Deal3: 1100 x4
Deal4: Supernova 258, 252, 248, 244
-------------------------------------------------------
x4527 Tix in 2 days after logging back in. Love the nest egg!

mtgotraders already sent me the $4300 for tix at .95 conversion. Love it!





Anyone else ever try to hoard anything?

all the time. Made tons hoarding fetch and shocklands when people were getting rid of them as they rotated out of standard, goyfs when they were first released, jace tms when first released, sadly I've also lost a bunch in cards like boros reckoner and lotleth troll.

Same. I don't do much on hoarding more than a playset, but I do prefer to keep cards over trading them almost constantly. Pretty much my best investment-to-return has been my Judge Demonic Tutor. I bought it for $40 and it's now worth about $200.

Tomorrow at the scg dallas I'm going to go trade a bunch of legacy staples, like 8x LEDs, 4x Rishdan Ports, flooded strands, foil bloodstained mire, etc. I'm pretty certain that Legacy is going to be dropped from scg events a lot more pretty soon, which will cause the prices of Legacy staples to drop significantly, so trying to swap them out for modern or standard staples, which should be fairly easy to do.

Gz on the flip, btw. That's always great to get such a massive return.

Looks like word got out of the dump... Nova pricing is plummeting:

Foil Lion's Eye Diamond [MI] 194 228 bifidus[4]

Did you sell those cards to supernova? Their price drops when they have an increase of supply.

Deal4: Supernova 258, 252, 248, 244

On mtgo i still have a playset of apocalypse foil and my foil force of will.

In real life about a year ago when return of rav came out i bought 144 angel of serenitys at 7$ then resold them the next day at 22$ each. Last week at the starcity classic in my home town. Springfield. I bought every single blood baron they own. At the tourny and there website at 8$ each. There foil ones at 30$u each. Now theyre selling them at 15$ each
