How pimp is your collection?

[ctthespian]

There have been many threads about how pimp is your deck.

Well, in the next few weeks or so I should be finished cataloging most of my Magic collection.  This is all stuff worthy of keeping becasue of sets, playsets or just cause it's damn cool.  Most of this stuff I would only get rid of under duress or if I was on my way out of the game.  

I'm going to try and display it in some form or another in this thread and I'm intersted if others will do the same.  One way will be a Magic Workstaion library file.

Anyway I figured I post this early, without my list, so other people could have time to come up with lists.

Let the pimp wars begin!

-Keith

EDIT:  Here's the link to the magic workstation library file. (Make sure your save the file with the extension ".mwinventory")
http://home.comcast.net/~ctthespian/mtginv.mwinventory

The file does not include the Land Sets like the Guru's, APACs, or Euros.

Edited to inlcued more pimped lands I forgot

[Samite Healer]

Let the pimp wars begin!

I suppose I am excluded from this, or else the war is over before it even starts.

No, put up your list Jeff. The rest of us can fight it out for second place.

[Milton]

I got some stuff.  Multiples of power, multiple lotuses but the pride of my collection is the pimpyist Berserk ever made.  It's a NM Beta augmented by Richard Garfield.  He changed the Berserk to a Berserker and made it a 20/20 creature.  Not bad for only one mana!

[Matt]

I have a EX unlimited volc with a bent corner. Also, I own a Morphling and an Italian Abyss, the latter of which I'm trying to sell.

However, I do posses shareware versions of both Apprentice AND MWS.

Yeah I know Jeff's stuff Rules, but his is half collection, half business in my opinion.

A rule I read on some Magic website that I'm sure holds true to this day:

If a card is altered by Richard Garfield, it actually becomes the alter. Thus, if you have some witnesses or get Richard to back you up, you actually own a tournament legal 20/20 for 1 mana.

:p

Oh yea and some cool stuff I own

S-Chinese Morphling
4x Beta Sinkhole
4x Force of Will

Probably my most expensive items. Did I mention I don't play T1 much anymore?

[rvs]

/me quietly sits around until CF discovers this topic and starts posting his insane list of asian pimpage.

[CF]

OK, this finally gave me the incentive to update my database of pimp stuff (which is either old/bb, foil, signed or foreign). It can be accessed here (listing the stuff here will take up too much space):

http://flaaten.net/mtg/

@MoreFlink: You didn't have to wait long. I have more signed stuff than Asian stuff, though.

@CrazyCarl: WTF happened to your stuff? Do you actually think being the Type1 Champion can -possibly- substitute for being pimp?? How the mighty have fallen (into delirium). ;o)

Chris

[kirdape3]

Wait, what's the point of pimping stuff?  Foils are really marked as they are thicker than normal cards, and staples that aren't BB or as expensive actually leave more money available for more cards, or even draft sets to become good at Magic .

[Samite Healer]

@CrazyCarl: WTF happened to your stuff? Do you actually think being the Type1 Champion can -possibly- substitute for being pimp?? How the mighty have fallen (into delirium). ;o)

I'm guilty.  I had to take all of Carl's pimp power except for the Sapphire, which I will need to hunt down some day.

OR: pimp your deck and completely dominate your T1 opponents with your fearsome cards.. until they beg for mercy. Thus, you win boosters and can draft. It works! I think I have store credit for 50+ boosters currently :oP

[ctthespian]

Exactly.  Personally the most pimped cards are original Alpha Signed cards.  I think the order goes something like Promos (Gurus, Euro's, etc.) Oldest limited expansion signed if possible, then Foils.  Foreign isn't that big of a deal in my book.  In fact the only foreign cards I value are cards from sets like the Foreign revised.

I can’t remember the last time I went to a tourney and played with a proxy let alone a white bordered card.

-Keith

[Kowal]

I think I remember you proxying your workshops once because you loaned them out to Moobius, but I'm at a loss other than that.

I don't need to awe people with pimped out power anymore...

I just need some way to hang my painting around my neck(And no Jeff, you can't have it )

:p

Then Jaco's got ya beat- He picked up a Beta Mind Twist, NM at GenCon last year that says "Opponent must scream 'Heeelp me!!'"

Now that's off the hook.

Actually, it's an Alpha Mind Twist (Alpha is SO much better than Beta, and no, this isn't open to debate), but who's counting. It IS signed and customized by Garfield, though (in gold ink), so it is most obviously the best Mind Twist ever. Also, one of my Beta Balances is signed by Mark Poole (in silver ink), and is customized by him to say 'YOU LOSE!,' so that's equally money. But the hypest customized card of all has to be my Beta Ancestral Recall signed and customized by Mark Poole with the UFO's and such floating about the pyramids. OFF THE FOOD CHAIN

EDIT: I can't begin to describe how funny this is:

I just need some way to hang my painting around my neck

[BurningIce]

I'm trying to blackbordify everything.  As of right now I have all cards in magic that are type 1 legal up to and including Mirrodin (well ok, I'm missing 9 cards for Mirrodin).  Otherwise I'm only missing about 84 cards for BBing everything.  Nothing's foiled though except for those cards which are unavailable as BB anywhere else.  Some highlights:

Alpha Time Walk
Beta Mox Emerald
Beta Mox Ruby
Beta Illusionary Mask
Alpha Berserk
Alpha Badlands

Set of Arabian Nights
Set of Legends (- 2 elder dragons)
Set of Antiquities

And a whole lot of other stuff.

[ctthespian]

Edited my original post to include the Magic Workstation Inventory file of most of my collection.  That does not include the Land sets like the Guru's, APACs and Euros.

-Keith

[KandyKid]

I've probably got one of the most pimped out/diverse collections all up in this piece..heheh

Here is a small sample:

1. Playset of Beta p9
1. Playset of UNL p9 (minus a lotus)

Extras include:

1. unl recall (that means i have 3)
2. twisters
1. alpha pearl
1. loa

Others:

full set of fbb duals with some random beta ones
8 drains
moats, abysses, mirror, etc

4x bazaars
4x shops
4x foil welders
4x foil asian tangle wires

Endless unl/beta oops, including:

5x masks
X. psi blasts
4x beta ankhs

about 10 AN cities, along with about 6 different foil versons
about 5 berserks from various sets

you get the idea.

[kl0wn]

But the hypest customized card of all has to be my Beta Ancestral Recall signed and customized by Mark Poole with the UFO's and such floating about the pyramids. OFF THE FOOD CHAIN

Mine's got the Goodyear Blimp on it. It's also signed by Garfield who drew lines coming out of the dude's head. :ph34r:

Owning a second or third copy of power or a tenth AN City of Brass won't make your deck more pimp (o; Your collection scores higher if measured against adjectives like "big" or "expensive". It seems like something for the collector rather than the guy wanting to play Teh Pimpest Deck (TM), although those Tangle Wires were sweet.
