Star City Games article writer Nate Heiss is from my area (Pittsburgh) and I've traded with him and have seen him in action. He pretty much thinks that most binders are chalk full of dollar rares (perhaps) but his binder is full of $5 rares and above. The problem is that a lot of his rares are the rares that everyone ELSE has. My City of Brass (mint) is worth $1 but HIS City of Brass (any condition) is worth at least $10 - $15.

I won't trade with him anymore.

Nice guy, though!

Homestar: Your binder looks just fine. But of course, to these Cherry Pickers (good title decsription Isty) all of your rares suck, even your best ones.

Nate is a cool guy (mostly) and writes well. In fact, when he started writing, his angle was "The working class magic player". A 'for the people' type player. Now he's Q'd a few times and is a near regular on the pro-tour. It's just that his trading habits are ill mannered, that's all. And that's just MY opinion.

I think it doesn't really matter if a person is on the pro-tour or not. Bad trading habits will be bad trading habits.

Homestar: Ha! I have one even better! I have an Ice Age Counterspell signed by none other than blue's best friend,...........TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p :p :p :D

Homestar, i have to say that as far as your rare binder is concerned, for your age it is good (as has already been stated), and has been said in threads before there is no such thing as a bad card (but i will admit some are better than others). Everyone starts somewhere, even current world champions probably thought erosion was a great card at one time(maybe). The thing is, you will only get stronger from here, and when you finally convince your parents that magic is not a game played by a load of people ready to rip you off, or you get old enough so it does not matter what they say and you are earning your own money and can do what you like with it, things will invariably improve. It is the combos that you can think of with the cards you have got that makes the player, as is proved with each generation "new deck" that currently wins tournaments and everyone wants to copy. That is the beauty of magic, infinite combos, thousands of cards..............it is all just there to be discovered.

I never thought I would ever use Triskelion. I have a 4E copy of it and it had just been sitting there for years until one day when this lady met this fella..........no, no, no, WAIT, I mean until one day when I saw Astral Slide, THEN I pulled it out and I love it now.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Just had to look up triskelion at my local online store cos i forgot what it did, and it stated "players who bought this also bought arcbound "this" and arcbound "that", an interesting combo with triskelion i thought.
