How do you take care of your investments?

I admit over the years I've been rough on my cards. I ripple shuffle with relative force, I leave stuff out of sleeves and they get those dust spots, hand oils issues and other things. I want to start playing non proxy vintage but it's so much money I need to be able to get back similar returns If I quit or what not. I'll quit rippling and such but what else can I do to take care of power and drains and all of that good stuff? What do you do to keep your cards trade able?

Honestly I think that Wizards should allow some degree of proxy if you have the hard copies in your possession but that's another story.


Thanks ahead of time.

I thought they did already.

Lol, I had never heard of it, and when I was at nationals everyone I saw was shuffling up their moxes so I dunno, if they do than.. thank god.

Nope.  Proxies are only allowed at HJ discretion if the card is damaged during play at a tournament.  Not to protect money cards and not to replace cards you don't own.

This is a playing card game.  Yes, it's a CCG, collectable Card Game, but it's also playable.  I shuffled borrowed power at Nationals, and I shuffled other peoples power too.  I shuffle my recall and drains and Unlimited duals together too.  Not a problem as long as you're not rough with them.

Side-shuffling and pile-shuffling will not damage your cards, and if they're double-sleeved you have nothing to worry about.

You can riffle without actually mashing or bending the cards, which is just as well, because overhand is average and pile "shuffling" isn't.
