Collecting that cardboard crack

Taylor BurianLeave a comment

Think of something you collect. What is a version of it that you wish to find, or you wish existed? (e.g. I wish I could find my perfect yellow fountain pen ink)

The way Wizards of the Coast is pumping out new product for Magic: The Gathering, it’s only a matter of time before they make a card I feel like I absolutely must have, but so far that hasn’t happened. They might hit the mark with the Final Fantasy collab that releases next year, so fingers crossed!

Other than that, I don’t think there is anything else that I’d be too concerned with trying to get.

Do you have any collections?

I’m not really a collector in the sense that I will go out of my way to have a complete set of something, but I have spent more than I should have on Magic: The Gathering cards.

To start in the simplest way, there are two methods of collecting those cards. Buying them individually, or buying packaged products. I’ve done both, but I LOVE opening booster packs. It’s the only form of “gambling” I frequently partake in because I still get something even if I don’t get what I want or something I really hope to get.

I don’t want to talk about specific dollar amounts spent on this hobby, but I do want to make it clear that my collection is not just for show. I have way too many cards, and while the vast majority of my cards sit in boxes waiting to maybe someday be sorted, I do have a lot sitting in easy to reach places ready for me to use.
