It's certainly more than that. That lotus and mox are in great condition. I think 2500 euros for an unlimited lotus in that condition would be an absolute steal. I'd put this specific opener closer to the price of a new car

Hey man. Don't breathe on my retirement fund.

Nah, the Lotus and Ruby are both fake. Look at the corners on the Channel and Fireball, the way they're cut is what real cards look like. The Lotus and Ruby have perfectly round corners which is an obvious sign of a fake card.

Oh shit nice catch. I just saw pic on mobile and didn't look too closely. Yeah, those don't look real

More importantly, who the hell owns a Lotus and a Ruby in that condition ungraded?

You'd be surprised. I was watching eternal weekend vintage finals and one dude legitimately had a $40,000 deck in a shitty 1 piece plastic folding deck box notorious for scratching/bending cards. Some people just got them cheap when they were new and will never sell them so they don't care about the value

Right, but what are the odds that the cards are still in mint condition being treated like that?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Oh sure. I just went for the same card, not the exact same edition with the same condition. Just cheapest listing.
