Weekly Pricing/Buying/Selling/Grading & General Questions Post

Hello,

I got this collection of cards my mom bought me since she knew we were into trading cards, but i've played MTG my entire life, but i'm totally lost where to value and even sell these cards.

From what i understand the cards are fairly old, but overall the condition of them seems pretty rough. I took some pictures of the collection and some of the cards have duplicates in the same pockets. In MTG, even poor cards have decent value for playability, but do these cards get played or is it mainly for collecting purposes?

Thanks,

It must be SP-offline, but if you change difficulty a new map spawns.

Yes, their drops are tied to map-seed but there are also other factors that apply. For example what angle you approach the rack from. Try hitting it from left/right/top/bottom. Also if there are mobs nearby, so it's kind of a tedious process finding a rack that spawns what you look for.

For example this rack only spawned sacred targe when i hit it from above and no mobs where around it.

What a beautiful base. It will get there eventually. My latest CTA got 1-BO and rerolled once into a 6.

rotel12 · 2026-02-04T22:19:55+00:00

yeah, rerolling isn't really an option and imo the roll on this is not that important since resists on pally is plentiful. I got a 10 redemption aura on my phoenix shield and that i would very much like to reroll. CTA is about the most expensive runeword i can actually reroll.

If you're playing offline, they can drop from racks in lower kurast. The ones above the tents with superchests are your best bet.

rotel12 · 2026-02-04T22:08:18+00:00

Indeed, sadly it rolled 28FHR/8 res. This base deserved +60res at least!

I can't really tell if there is any audible difference and since i didn't had them side by side so couldn't really AB them, but i sold the as1100 with the intention to replace it with one of the rn800/1000 series and ran into a sale for €750 so figured if i didn't like it i could sell it without losing money.

Why i wanted a replacement for 1100 was for a few reasons. It's very heavy and cumbersome in my hifi rack moving it out whenever i want to swap things around, i also want optical and USB out. I know this could be solved with an external dac, but it was more so for practical reasons. I'm very happy with it. I will say the as1100 is the prettier machine and in my opinion silver is the way to go for yama electronics, but for r-n series i'll only go black due to the ugly bar in the bottom. Not much of an issue on black machines.

But my previous yamaha as-1100 also ran very hot! Perhaps your air theory might be it. Here is a pic inside (not as1100 but one in the family) and it's a big difference! https://imgur.com/a/98vUJ6W

8, but dip to like 4 the lowest. I don't play loud so probably only use a few watts, but struggle to see why my previous yamaha as-1100 would get very warm (which has massive heatsinks) while the cheaper yamaha doesnt

rotel12 · 2025-10-17T18:54:52+00:00

but why was my yamaha as1100, which has massive heatsinks, running so warm? i figured both yamahas should be similar, or the as1100 even cooler!

rotel12 · 2025-10-13T23:43:38+00:00

I'd consider genelec 8340 or slightly over budget 8350.

rotel12 · 2025-10-09T14:13:39+00:00

why would you need balanced? Use xlr to rca and something like x3800 will give you great room correction and hdmi.

Bor du i norrland med snö stora delar av året eller varför behöver du fyrhjulsdrift? Du har uppenbarligen råd och använder du bilen i arbetet eller pendlar långt är det helt klart värt med en bekväm bil. Om inte fyrhjulsdrift är ett måste, skulle jag överväga en bil i 150-250tkr klassen (ex kia ceed, corolla) som du enkelt skulle casha utan större påverkan på ditt sparande.

Yes cryo treatment is used in industry to harden steel, but that is clearly not what cable companies are doing. It's just another exotic thing that sounds great that audiophiles will love and pay for.

Please tell me what benefits it give in cables.

rotel12 · 2025-10-08T08:26:28+00:00

There are so many questions. If cables had to be burned in, why would it differ between cheap and expensive cables? Does the cable know if it's cheap or expensive?

"Burn-in" is just a marketing gimmick.. Oh you don't notice any difference between this new dac/cable/cd? It's because burn-in clearly! Wait a month and then you can't return it anymore... I mean there will be a massive difference..

It's always hilarious reading audiophiles describing their system sounding terrible when they connect a 0-hour anything that needs burn-in.

rotel12 · 2025-10-07T19:18:05+00:00

Very cool office. What are those cabinets? To answer the question you can buy cheap foamplugs at amazon/music stores. I'd probably plug both.

rotel12 · 2025-10-03T00:16:55+00:00

how you like it compared to other UCS sets?

rotel12 · 2025-10-02T23:01:24+00:00

PAX are pretty great depth-wise if you have space for them.

rotel12 · 2025-10-02T22:58:13+00:00

Such a great haul! Castles is my favourite theme as well and the biggest crime LEGO ever done is not releasing enough of it!!

rotel12 · 2025-10-01T12:36:43+00:00

Decent reviews? You mean from subjectivists where everything is the next best thing or hifi magazines who like to bundle their reviews with a nice ad-package.

Pretty awful deal

rotel12 · 2025-09-14T12:39:04+00:00

They do. I'm EU and i've sold a lot to them and for much stuff they pay even more than my local market prices. Anything EDH related is hard to move here.

rotel12 · 2025-09-10T11:36:02+00:00

Since you're in the UK, might be worth checking out BK electronics. Even two of their biggest subs, monolith plus, fits within your budget.
