Seeing starters like that is what's keeping me from buying a beta or alpha starter. Totally understandable that your going to get cards that are meh, but all of that land taking up your uncommon spots is just annoying.
I remember playing and looking over to 4-5 boxes of arabian nights open and we used to just take out boosters for drafts. I opened alot of beta starters and never (myself) got any really good rares. In unlimited though i had a power 9 set that would easily be 9.5, I sold the timetwister.timewalk and ancestral recall fpr around a 100 bucks lol.... Zzzz god i love this game. Good stuff and too bad you did get your cards you wanted.
i am new to magic i like the starter decks, and the booster boxes or just boxes (idk the term for them) looks more interesting, i am not sure if i will play magic but it's interesting so i subbed :)
i would have worn medical gloves opening a vintage btg item like that!! but that would be worth the money to open a beta starter just for the experiance.
That was probably the worst beta starter I have ever seen cracked...
I used to know a guy who got a case of beta for basically nothing from someone who didn't know better back in like 1995-1996 who cracked most of the packs a few years ago.
Huge fan of Regrowth, but it's still not quite as exciting as you guys probably wanted. Still, all those cards look gorgeous, and I wouldn't mind owning even the lands.
About 12 years ago (around 4th/5th) I had purchased TWO Beta Starter decks for $150/ea. I intended on opening one and keeping the other as a collectors item. I opened up the first starter deck and my two rares were....TWO ISLANDS! Completely disappointed I had to open the other one. In that one I got a Granite Gargoyle and an Ankh of Mishra, but they were ALPHA. This was back when Alpha was worth less than Beta due to them not being legal in competitive play.
fck me! i gave a bunch of cards away when i was a kind cuz i didnt no how to play and it was old, now i remember that i had a couple of lands that look like that arg, who noes what there might be.
i have a ton of those land cards they arent worth much anymore tho are they? what is the beta logo cause i suppose they could just be the same art used in a later expansion.
yea.. ure right like its been said like 5 bucks. mint even more. he was proberly thinking about Unlimited lands they have the same ''Big letters'' but no black border and are worth like 10 20 cents
He said, "Not even something like Invisibility or False Orders or whatever?"...but he did get an Invisibility. Oh well. Probably too dissapointed in the rares and uncommons to notice. lol
the joy is opening and reliving the golden age of magic not getting a lotus. Getting an expensive of card would be great but you should be in it for the love of the era. Me and friend started a magic crew called BBC Black Border Click, we only play with old cards and enjoy it greatly. THis past X-mas we played revised zen it was a treat in deed but this X-mas will be playing with unlimited starter zen we play tthe cards for ante, blind zen, no peeking and we play them with out sleeves.
But the excitement was well worth it... since we were playing blind zen for ante. We couldnt look thru the starter decks to even see what was in the decks, so we had NO idea what we were playing with or what our ante was. Ya gotta play for the thrill
there wernt supposed to be any lands in arabian nights, but they accidentaly printed mountains with the arabian nights expansion symbol, those mountains go for 20$.
Kudos for having the nads to open a $750 deck of cards. Pulling a lace has always been my fear if I ever did this (which I'm sure I won't, unless that great garage sale ever materializes).
Damn fun to watch but i feel sry for the bad pack

Well, not even a p9 (you said a hundred times 7,99$ so i guess 800-900 dollars, i heard bad), but maybe a beta power or another fine piece(s).

Was not even close to making money back. The fork was the best card worth about 200 or so.
