We’ve got a lot of Magic cards. I mean, a LOT of Magic cards. Like… holyWTF lots of Magic cards. Until last week, they were all in the PODS container.

We’re BROKE right now. BROKE BROKE BROKE. So, we made the decision to send me to Knoxville to find the cards so we can sell the valuable ones. We figured that, by spending $100 on travel, we’d get back about $600 in card value.

Last Saturday, I went to Knoxville and spent TWELVE HOURS moving boxes around. I fished out ALL the Magic cards, Barrett’s dress clothes, some of my clothes, my school supplies…. etc.

I returned on Sunday, with Barrett’s little Honda Fit completely stuffed. And Sunday evening, we began the process of sorting through boxes (and boxes and boxes) of Magic cards to find the high-value ones….

Okay, by “High Value,” I mean, “anything over $.50″. Last night, I sent off a buy list to StarCityGames (.com). It was approved.

The list is for $1600 worth of cards.

Yeah, it was a little more than $600. . .

Of course, the buyer has to evaluate the cards and confirm that when I said “Mint / Near-Mint” I didn’t mean “half-shredded”. (I didn’t.)

We’re looking forward to a nice pudgy check in the mail.
