I got like 3 or 4 of these kicking around. I was gonna toss em. Maybe I'll try this out.

[–] Thann@lemmy.ml 68 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I already have the stuff setup, you can mail them to me and I'll mail the minis back =]

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

Wow, you are so nice, love this community

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 70 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Finally, a use for Magic cards

Actually, one place I know uses them as coasters, and another has a tabletop made out of them covered in resin, so I guess this is the third useful thing

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I use ‘em to measure powders and put ‘em into bags!

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

So you're gathering the magic with your magic the gathering cards

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's some pure uncut magic in that little baggie right there

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

I like to use Inspired Charge for blow, it seems fitting.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

After years of uncontrolled MtG addiction, I have so many basic lands that I used them for that, and to scoop up weed to put in the bowl, and to pick my teeth, and to cut into doobie filters, etc etc.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

Hell yeah hahaha. I try to find relevant commons or shitty in commons that match what I’m doing.

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think an awesome way to use them would be to have the BBEG be a planeswalker. When the fight starts, the DM pulls out a Magic deck and starts playing Magic against D&D.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

None of what you said means anything to me.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 60 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Better do that to your used blacker lotuses

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago

i love that you are supposed to rip it into piece, but only after you tabbed it

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Lmao I love that joke series

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is there a higher resolution image of this? I want to print it but there's too much JPEG

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This is as high res as I could find. The real thing isn't too expensive though.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 2 months ago

Totally. This person needs to put some mod podge on top to protect the paper and add weight.

[–] Kidra@sopuli.xyz 43 points 2 months ago

I'm not even into magic and I'm offended

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can go to a good print shop and get yourself an entire stack of Black Lotus proxies for a few bucks. It is the most heavily counterfeited card in the series

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago

Which is probably why that's the one they chose for this picture; it being a counterfeit and not an original, of course

[–] Fallofturkey@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I did this as a kid to make 'pogs' lol

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 54 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

“Here’s my Nolan Ryan rookie pog and here’s my Hologram Charizard pog.”

[–] teft@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I got this Honus Wagner slammer that I made from my granddad's collection. Can I play?

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Ty Cobb flippers, come and get em.

[–] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I need a ttrpg with a pogs battle mechanic

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Don't give WOTC any ideas.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What are these worth currently?

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 59 points 2 months ago (1 children)

10K at the low end.

If it makes you feel any better, the wood grain in the hole doesn't line up with the wood grain of the rest of the table. It's a slightly sloppy photoshop.

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't? Looks fine to me

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Look at the top section of it. The bottom section is fine, but the top is way off.

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Uhh, that's what wood grain looks like. It could still be shopped but that's not evidence.

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Ha I still can't see it! Maybe it's cus I'm on a phone....but to me, the grain looks bang on, even with the curvature

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You can also tell by zooming in and looking at the focus/detail/resolution difference between the card's art and the wood of the table along the edge of the cut-away hole. That slightly jarring difference of resolution is a dead giveaway for a photoshop.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Come on, that's literally just JPEG artefacting because it's a meme and it's been shared a bunch. There are so many fakes of this card out there, it's not that far-fetched and it's likely not a $10k+ card that was destroyed.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

Earlier this year, one in perfect condition sold for 3 million USD.

[–] JATtho@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I know two friends.. who would absolutely lynch you for doing this.

Anyway, it has been fun following them and occasionally ask "whats this card worth?" and general answer has been 5-50€ a card. The cards can be worth more than literal money.

[–] No_Money_Just_Change 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The problem is that this specific card is worth 5.000-18.000$

https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Magic/Products/Singles/Alpha/Black-Lotus

No, I do not know why

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Because it's the most powerful card in the 30 years the game has been around and the 1st printing (alpha) was very limited so there are not very many in existence.

[–] Gladaed 12 points 2 months ago

18 grand is a steal. Lotus can be much more in decent condition. The depiction in the Post is worth 1 - 2 Teslas.

[–] cows_are_underrated 19 points 2 months ago

This is enough of a crime to lock you up in a jail for the rest of your lifetime.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 months ago

Just got death threats from my magic friends XD

[–] kubica@fedia.io 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No one has yet mentioned the part of the border that has been cut? I'm deceived.

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Huh? You can see a bit of the card border on the edge of the token if that's what you mean...

[–] kubica@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

I was just joking about the common OCDish reactions on the internet in this type of situations.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oof. That's gonna diminish the value a tad.

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And yet the listing would still probably say "near mint condition".

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

It's much more mint shaped now, so I guess that's correct...

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago
[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

But this is one of my favorite cards... quite offensive!
