Title: Bulk commons: what do you do with them?
Post by: MuggyWuggy on October 09, 2013, 01:25:17 PM
So I repacked my whole collection and still have 1600 commons left... What do you guys do with your commons? Use them as coasters, toss em? I know your LGS doesn't want em...


I hope someone just buys the huge lot for some gas money or a meal hah

I set up a freebie box at my LGS for new players to get what they want. I always throw bulk uncommon and commons in along with occasional rares that I don't need.

I just recently shipped mine to a new imtg member who was starting a new collection. Hope he got them, I haven't heard from him yet!

A lot of old timers at my lgs just leave their commons after drafting now, and either the store or a random player who wants them will grab em up :P

Give them to beginners, donate them to hospitals with cancer/multi-diseased children <3, and sometimes I make wallets out of them!

Sort through them then give the playables and slightly-playables to new players.

Play mental magic with them! One deck. Two players. Both draw 7. Any card can be placed as a land. Lands tap for all colors. You play each card as a card in magic that has the exact same mana cost as it. The same card cannot be named twice. Have fun!

I made a wallet from {bellows lizard}s and {crimson muckwader}s. I'll make wallets for people if they mail me the cards + a rare worth $1-2 or more as payment ;)

A friend of mine (who I think spends way too much buying all the new cards instead of buying purposeful decks that will last) has packed all his commons into a box it weighs like 10 pounds and we call it the brick of commons.
