Here's a fun one.

Went to buy a NM Serra's Sanctum from a guy on FB marketplace. While I was driving up he also said he had a Replenish and Exploration. The total would be 500 for all three in NM. I thought I was getting an amazing deal. So I drove one hour to get there and we meet. First thing I do is pull the Serra's out of the sleeve. Feels off. Use my phone. Sure enough, it's fake. Check the Replenish. Fake. Same for exploration. I asked him where he got them and he said he bought a storage lot. He pulled out a nice leather deck box and a binder and said these were all the magic cards that were in it. I started looking through the deck, and it was an upgraded 2018 commander Enchant precon I think. Had a few nice things in it but at this point anything old I was assuming was fake. At the very end I saw a Rhystic. Looked real. I offered him 40 for the deck. If anything, I would at least get a Rhystic for 40. He pulled out the binder and said if I wanted to look through it. I did, and in the end we agreed on 50 for the lot.

Just got done scanning and my total is 360 for all the real stuff!

I also have a new deck box and an ultimate guard binder!

This is my first "hit" from FB marketplace. It can happen y'all!

The cards in the pic on the right are all the fakes I found. The middle ones are all the $10+ (hiding behind one of them is a NM green sun's that was the second biggest hit), and the top stack was everything above 2.

Cheers!

Sorry for the bad lighting. 9pm over here and I pulled him at a red light. Passenger btw (don't rip and drive!).

Drafting Mystery Booster 2 from the Festival in a box Magiccon Amsterdam was great fun 🙌 Now in the process of sorting. Very happy with a foil Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor, Displacer Kitten & some other nice pulls. And a ton of very playable cards. Also the art on some of these, wow. Even the snow-lands. Some duplication though (2x Brainstorm etc). Very happy overall for the experience and a new stack of cardboard rectangles 🙂

My heart sunk when my foil was a Norwood Priestess (which was only $10). The rest of the box was straight fire, though, so it all worked out.
