This one dude, Kyle, started playing cube drafts with us on Tuesdays. He usually doesn't have any traders with him and when I ask him about trading he is usually only interested in very specific Legacy playables that aren't in my binder.
However, this week he said he's making a binder of creatures that he likes. I guess it's kind of like a "Hall of Fame" for his personal favourite creatures. I could dig that, it sounds like something I would do. He showed me the binder and I told him that I was interested in a bunch of cards. He has good taste in creatures. There was also a Sol Ring in the binder...Sol Ring isn't a creature...I guess that's why he was so eager to trade it.
I traded: Cabal Interrogator, Necrotic Ooze, Arcanis, the Omnipotent (REALLY DAMAGED) = $5.23
and I received:
Sol Ring ($5.99)
Total = +$0.76
According to Starcity prices, I didn't even come out ahead by a dollar. I disagree. Even though Sol Ring is a $6.00 card by SCG prices, it's still valued as a $10.00 card by most people. Even at my LGS they sell it for more than $6.00. I can definitely get more than book value for it...I hope.
I just told another friend about the "Donations to Something" challenge that I'm working on and he has a box of random commons/uncommons that he's going to let me go to town on. We'll see if I can find any old boarded mana leaks or maybe even some Top's or something.
STAY TUNED!!!!
