    if you have freshly washed hands it is actually better. Power 9 quest explained that in several videos, and he got that wisdom from people working in museums working on old books and documents. What destroys cards is the oil on the hands, but freshly washed there is none, and you can handle the cards more gently without gloves.

    I missed the ABU era of MTG by 6 months. I barely missed the last box of the Dark for sale. But I was offered a Lotus for $40 (Unlimited) and I remember dual lands commonly for sale for $10-12 each. Alphas were trash cause we had no black back sleeves for years, so they were unplayable cause corners, so Betas were worth more as Alphas were just for collecting and not many ONLY collected. I was also offered a HP Beta Lotus for $80 at some point. Also turned that down cause was 16 and money was tight and it was a cardboard game.

    Random video… I had tons of these cards when I was a kid. I didn’t play magic, I just enjoyed the artwork and the collecting aspect of it. I will never understand why anyone would pay so much money for something so trivial and functionally useless, but I appreciate the enthusiasm and I enjoyed reliving the experience of opening these starter packs. Good memories! My younger brother has most of my old cards now, and I gave a bunch of them away to friends too after I lost interest. This was damn near 30 years ago, and I kind of sharted a bit hearing how much they’re worth now. My 35 year old younger brother still plays regularly and has many shoeboxes full of these cards now.

    Even the worst cards in an Alpha pack are worth about $30-40 as collectors items. I think the most valuable card they opened here was Illusionary Mask which goes for maybe $1,500. They definitely lost money by opening this pack. They did not open any of the really top cards. (They highly exaggerated how much value the centering adds to these cards, because there are not that many people willing to pay a premium for a rated 10 quality card that isn't a top rare.)

Selling off old toys and shedding the cruft is good for your well-being. For every black lotus card there are a million worthless things people hold on to.
