As covered by many news outlets, a new record for a sale of a magic card has occurred. Which is just silly.
$3,000,000.00
Alrighty then. So you have that kind of money... great. Invest away. However, what else COULD you get if you wanted to? (based on mtgstock values)
Alpha Dual sets
Underground Sea, $12649.99 x4= 50,599.96
Volc (beta), $13499.99 x4= 53,999,96
Trop, $11059.52 x4 = 44,238.08
Badlands, $4674.99 x4= 18,699.,96
Bayou, $4999.00 x4 = 19,996
Scrubland, $9490.60 x4= 37,962.40

Savannah $2700.00 x4 = 10,800
Just for x4 Alpha duals (1 beta)= $217,373.12
Thats silly... lets throw an Alpha set of Mox in the mix:
Mox Sapphire $14,975.00
Mox Jet $13,700.00
Mox Ruby $12,500.00
Mox Pearl $8,579.99
Mox Emerald $6,155.00
Total: $55,909.99
Mox Jet $13,700.00
Mox Ruby $12,500.00
Mox Pearl $8,579.99
Mox Emerald $6,155.00
Total: $55,909.99
Still at $273,283.11
Not even remotely close to 3mil...
Hell, that site has a set of Alpha signed duals all graded BGS 9.5 for $300,000.
Point being- the sale is SILLY. Its pure collecting, and several people have hinted that it was a bit setup by the grading company CGC by waving the grading fee and maybe even helping people find the card. But hey, what do I care? I doubt I will ever have a complete set of duals- until then, proxies ahoy.
