Over the weekend, someone spotted six pallets of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering cards 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unceremoniously dumped at a Texas land🍨fill. When the pics hiꦓt Reddit, some Magic fans did the math and calculated there were approximately 1,700 unopened display boxes worth at least $260,000 at retail. However, they could have been worth more, depending on what those boxes were.
A few days later, the original Reddit poster . "The cards were gone," . Worse, they weren't "allowed to take anything from the landfill" and left the majority of the cards to be buried with the next truck load of trash.
But they did take several more pictures of what was left when the dust settled, so we at least have a better idea of what was lost. In a gallery on , we can see most of the cards appeared to be from the recent Unfinity set--a fine set, but not the most impactful or valuable Magic set in history. Things get slightly more heartbreaking when we see a few torn Secret Lair boxes, and they become absolutely devastating when we see the wrapper of Magic's 30th Anniversary set, boxes of which 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:sold for at least $1,000 each. That would g📖reatly inflate༒ the total value of the haul if someone had thought to bring a pickup truck to cart all six palettes away.
"I do regret not taking a box or two, again we're not allowed to. I didn't," wrote LATIN0. "I'm not mad I didn't take any boxes but I wish I knew what they were worth when I took a photo and seeing them on the ground. I only know of MTG because of Reddit posts I've seen over the years."
LATIN0 didn't walk away entirely empty-handed. They did grab two smaller unopened Secret Lair boxes. One of which was Teferi's Time Trouble, a Secret Lair originally offered in December 2019 which contains three famous planeswalkers. Those Secret Lairs , but the price for an unopened box has significantly increased since then. LATIN0 doesn't plan to sell them, and will instead keep them as a memento of a "woulda coulda shoulda moment of my life."
And to anyone thinking that they could go dumpster diving for thousands of dollars of Magic cards, LATIN0 doesn't recommend it. "The cards are all under layers of trash, each day 2-4 layers are being added. Don't try to come and look for some. They are all damaged."
