I have double sleeved MTG cards from two decades ago just sitting in storage. Not because I think it’s an investment, I just don’t care anymore. People who do the rubber band and sock approach have their values straight. Have fun playing
Yeah, my mom used to be upset that I didn’t hold onto my old pokemon cards, but not only did I never have any rare ones that would be worth anything anyway, I used them how I wanted to when I wanted to, and when they stopped interesting me, I gave them to someone who was still interested. I don’t regret that.
Right on. You paid for the cards and had a good time. You don’t need to get any money back. The money was well spent. Giving your cards away without regret while enriching the life of a new player is very rewarding. You just know how much they appreciate it and how much joy they will receive from it. Much better experience than hoarding.
The box I store them in is a little small, so I have to bend them a bit to fit them in.
When i was a kid i did stored my cards with rubber bands, i can rest peacefully knowing they were fake yugioh cards (not that i knew it at the time), now my magic cards are all stored with sleeves in proper sized boxes for them

I just started playing Magic the Gathering, and my Command Deck I just bought came before my box, sleeves, or dice.
I thought there was going to be a game last night at my local bar, and I was about to recreate this comic (except with the cardboard box it came in instead of a sock).
As a rubber band gang man, my shiny water damaged, 1st edition,Charizard disaprooves…
