Happy New Year!

Cards Sent: 125
Amount Sent: $174.26

Total Trade Count: 208,849
Total Foil Count: 3,790

Another year, and another send.  Getting down there with cards being sent.  This on took me a little longer to send because this week is a really busy week for me at my place of work.  I am usually held up in a conference room watching my network to see if things blow up.  A ton of conference calls, and a ton of data gathering, but I was able to pick out these trades to send, and this is that update!

I am really just trying to get at least one send a week, with at least 15 packages, but it is going a lot slower like I keep saying.

My balance is getting close to $2500, and it really is moving slow.  Most packages are pretty close to $3.00 and that is the lowest price match I am looking at.  I figure I am making at least $2.50 per send, and I really just want to get the cards out of my house, so yeah lots of stupid little sends.

I really think that once I get below 200,000 cards I will be a lot happier.  I did try and look to see if I could do a larger bulk send, but there really was not a good one to pick up.  Just a lot of speculators that have Rares and Mythics set at really low prices.  I figure those are just people trying to give folks options to cash out, but really it I think it is traders wanting to have them on their trade list, but it is not a priority on their needs, so they keep the prices really low.  That way, if they do get the cards that is great!  But then it is still on their want list, and they just don't care if they get the cards any time soon.

I have been doing this with the Planeswalker deck first prints, but at really low prices.  I am also doing this with in print sets and the Mythics I need.  I am pretty much setting the price to rotation prices, and those are a lot lower than market prices.


Just going to slide this in here too.  I did get a bunch of cards from Core 2019!  These are just Planeswalker deck cards that I am still looking for, and I really do not think I am going to keep going with playsets, but for now we will keep trying........

Break time

I am going to be taking a break from updating my blog until I start doing more with Magic the Gathering.  I am not going to sell the collect...
