Found a small auction recently which had three different MtG lots in it. I was unaware that the on-line portion was absentee bidding, and there was a live function of it last night. Seriously, that was discovered right after the time ran out. Still, I felt pretty good about things. Fairly large auction in Albuquerque, I had "won" the internet side of the auction... I doubt people show up on a Tuesday before Christmas to bid in person for some magic cards. I was right!

I won each auction for under $15.

Why is that interesting? Each one has a Premium Deck Series in it. Assuming that they are at worst lightly played, each are at least $50 in value.  (going off TCG sealed numbers)

Sealed each is:
Graveborn: $80
Slivers: $140
Fire & Lightning: $55

Plus there are many other versus decks and other stuff... I think I might have committed some more highway robbery.

I did finally draft Unstable on Friday. I honestly based my entire draft after my pack one pick one. I also had zero clue what was good or not. Not the best strategy, but meh. The first two rounds I didn't realize my deck had no ways to assemble contraptions. Whoops. Newb alert. I swapped in a couple "Pulling a Double" and problem solved.
I wanted to do a different deck style, but meh. Whatcya gonna do?
I wound up going 1-2. However, because of the things at the LGS, I got a bonus pack which contained a foil Spike, Tournament Grinder. As of Friday when I opened it, it was clocking in at a robust $21. Not too shabby...
The rest of the cards, minus lands and tokens, went in to a community box for a cube someone was building.
