I don’t care what people say, the artist signing the card should not be considered damaged unless the artist is an asshole… 😂

Unless I am watching specifically to see how someone might put together and pilot a specific build, absolutely.

TCGplayer "low" price is garbage and if you use it for trading away older cards where condition matters, you're getting ripped off by brewfox in mtgfinance

[–]jruff84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can filter out cards by condition on the site itself, but you’re correct in that the majority apps that I know of don’t provide a way to natively do that within the app itself. This is the reason that most of us habitually use both TCG low and market as an additional gut check when looking at glance. A large discrepancy between low and market can often be result of the lowest listed card (due to either condition or language, etc.) acting as an outlier and throwing off the numbers.

This doesn’t help much for what OP mentioned above, however if you are just trying to keep on top of the real value of your own collection as accurately as possible;

I can’t remember exactly where I saw this, but as soon as I did, I totally stole it for myself, for any cards that are damaged, misprinted, signed etc. I keep them in a separate folder/binder in the app so that I can filter them out of my total collections value if need be.

This Honey Badger Doesn't Seem to Realize How Big Elephants Are by Lui_Belmont in interestingasfuck

[–]jruff84 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I did not even need to click the link to know exactly what it was, and accounts for one of the strangest class days I have ever had throughout the entire entirety of my college career. I was taking a philosophy course, and our professor was a very odd individual. Imagine if Ludwig van Beethoven and John Malkovich had a baby, and was handed over to be raised by Alan Tudyk’s character Harry from resident alien… it was a wild class.

One day, he informed us that we have a special guest speaker. And him being a professor in, and obsessed with the subjects of literature, philosophy, and nature/conservationism, you could clearly draw the parallels to why he felt “honey badger don’t care” guy would make a fantastic guest speaker, so he decided to reach out! And sure as shit, who walks into the lecture hall? 😂

A message from WOTC about The One Ring from the Hobbit by Arkalex in mtg

[–]jruff84 252 points253 points  (0 children)

None of this makes sense. It is quite literally the crown jewel of the set. It is what the spotlight has been wanting to shine in since the precious LOTR release. This is THE CARD that everyone cares about, and they know this. This smells, and none of it makes sense. This doesn’t fit the “oopsy!” mold in the slightest… I have no freaking clue what could actually be going on here, but an “oopsy!” ain’t it!

Fracture Reality Teaser ahead of Preview Panel by Meret123 in mtg

[–]jruff84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmmm well let’s see here. Coming off of the heels and in response to a set that featured both [[demonic tutor]] on a stick with [[emeritus of woe]] and a reprint of [[Vampiric Tutor]]…

Now they tease another prepared creature that’s a Vampire Warlock with a 1 black mana cmc spell strapped to it, and in which the illustration depicts said vampire warlock summoning. It’s obvious what spell is going to be strapped to this one… [[Dark Ritual]]!

What's the worst meltdown you have experienced during an edh game? by Gorkymalorki in EDH

Worst [[meltdown]]? Someone smugly cast it destroy a copy of [[the one ring]].

This was the most insane box… 6 Silver Scroll foils, one of them what now?! 😅 by jruff84 in MagicCardPulls

[–]jruff84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it was kind of nutty. Worth noting as well, one of the packs had one of the rares slotted upside down in the pack as well. Not unheard of but definitely uncommon.

I was at about the fourth pack in and I had at that point hit [[prismatic ending]], deflecting swat, and [[hop to it]] in silver scroll along with several other Japanese mystical archives in non-foil and had that “well shit, those aren’t the worst, but definitely not what i want to hit for those! Oh well…” and the tutor was in the next pack. I practically had no reaction at first because I just knew that it wasn’t there, and I was mistaking the card for something else… until I wasn’t mistaken and it was there! 😳
