I got like 3 or 4 of these kicking around. I was gonna toss em. Maybe I'll try this out.

[–] Thann@lemmy.ml 63 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I already have the stuff setup, you can mail them to me and I'll mail the minis back =]

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

Wow, you are so nice, love this community

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 65 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Finally, a use for Magic cards

Actually, one place I know uses them as coasters, and another has a tabletop made out of them covered in resin, so I guess this is the third useful thing

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I use ‘em to measure powders and put ‘em into bags!

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

So you're gathering the magic with your magic the gathering cards

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's some pure uncut magic in that little baggie right there

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

I like to use Inspired Charge for blow, it seems fitting.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

After years of uncontrolled MtG addiction, I have so many basic lands that I used them for that, and to scoop up weed to put in the bowl, and to pick my teeth, and to cut into doobie filters, etc etc.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah hahaha. I try to find relevant commons or shitty in commons that match what I’m doing.

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think an awesome way to use them would be to have the BBEG be a planeswalker. When the fight starts, the DM pulls out a Magic deck and starts playing Magic against D&D.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

None of what you said means anything to me.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 58 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

Better do that to your used blacker lotuses

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 month ago

i love that you are supposed to rip it into piece, but only after you tabbed it

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Lmao I love that joke series

Totally. This person needs to put some mod podge on top to protect the paper and add weight.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can go to a good print shop and get yourself an entire stack of Black Lotus proxies for a few bucks. It is the most heavily counterfeited card in the series

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 4 weeks ago

Which is probably why that's the one they chose for this picture; it being a counterfeit and not an original, of course

[–] Fallofturkey@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I did this as a kid to make 'pogs' lol

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

“Here’s my Nolan Ryan rookie pog and here’s my Hologram Charizard pog.”

[–] teft@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I got this Honus Wagner slammer that I made from my granddad's collection. Can I play?

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Ty Cobb flippers, come and get em.

[–] Kidra@sopuli.xyz 40 points 1 month ago

I'm not even into magic and I'm offended

[–] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I need a ttrpg with a pogs battle mechanic

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Don't give WOTC any ideas.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What are these worth currently?

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 55 points 1 month ago (2 children)

10K at the low end.

If it makes you feel any better, the wood grain in the hole doesn't line up with the wood grain of the rest of the table. It's a slightly sloppy photoshop.

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It doesn't? Looks fine to me

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Look at the top section of it. The bottom section is fine, but the top is way off.

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Uhh, that's what wood grain looks like. It could still be shopped but that's not evidence.

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Ha I still can't see it! Maybe it's cus I'm on a phone....but to me, the grain looks bang on, even with the curvature

It's not a hole. It's a token.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Ooohhhh! The grain could just be bending a little.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

Earlier this year, one in perfect condition sold for 3 million USD.

[–] JATtho@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know two friends.. who would absolutely lynch you for doing this.

Anyway, it has been fun following them and occasionally ask "whats this card worth?" and general answer has been 5-50€ a card. The cards can be worth more than literal money.

[–] No_Money_Just_Change@feddit.org 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The problem is that this specific card is worth 5.000-18.000$

https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Magic/Products/Singles/Alpha/Black-Lotus

No, I do not know why

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Because it's the most powerful card in the 30 years the game has been around and the 1st printing (alpha) was very limited so there are not very many in existence.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 11 points 1 month ago

18 grand is a steal. Lotus can be much more in decent condition. The depiction in the Post is worth 1 - 2 Teslas.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 18 points 1 month ago

This is enough of a crime to lock you up in a jail for the rest of your lifetime.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 month ago

Just got death threats from my magic friends XD

[–] kubica@fedia.io 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No one has yet mentioned the part of the border that has been cut? I'm deceived.

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh? You can see a bit of the card border on the edge of the token if that's what you mean...

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oof. That's gonna diminish the value a tad.

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And yet the listing would still probably say "near mint condition".

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

It's much more mint shaped now, so I guess that's correct...

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago
[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago

But this is one of my favorite cards... quite offensive!
