Each time a new set is spoiled i pick up cards i consider are underpriced or will potentially end up being bombs in one or several formats, then preorder a shit ton of said singles from big online stores. Since i'm an autistic nerd who's damn good at the game, i often can see what will become good and what will not.

I'm often spot on, sometimes it's a fail... but i wouldn't advise anyone doing this unless you have an encyclopedic knowledge of the game (which imply knowing all the 22 346 different cards, all editions, all reprints, all formats, supposed printrun sizes, foil %, knowing how to grade, all the big combos, all banlists...). Ie if you don't play since at least 20 years don't even try. Then you must try to play along unknown factors, like potential reprints, printrun size, potential bans, potential pimp versions, potential powercreep, potential trends, the next jotc fucking ups, which is a daily occurence... Desu i'm a fucking masochist to even bother with this shit, believe me.

But where i made my big bux was by speccing on old cards such as the ones you can see in my previous pic when they were cheap. And now speccing on old border foils. They are the next big thing, believe me. Their printrun was absolutely ridiculously low (same as alpha cards), they are gorgeous and even harder to find in good condition.
I expect to make a killing with them in a year or two. Desu i started to stack them 6 months ago and most of them already doubled or tripled in value. Simply because the quantity availible is so stupidly small anyone with few hundreds bux (sometimes less) can literally purchase every single copy avaible worldwide of a card (which range between 40-90 copies most of the time). And once you are the only faggot in town with the card, you can dictate the rules, any price you put become the new standard. I'm amazed no one with deep pocket ever done this before.

I forgot to post my mtg stack along my silver last time. At first i wanted to post my RL stuff but there is just too many cards. Then i thought about foils but that's even worse.. So i simply took OG foils becuz i can remember back when the game didn't use to suck dicks.
