Are your RIM's spinners

In a perpetually downward spiral I suppose.
HAHAHAHAHA

RIM is Research In Motion, the company that makes Blackberrys.  Not doing so well...  ::)

No they are not lol. Long AAPL and MSFT here :)

$200 for a mint unlimited {Mox Ruby}... This was about 10 years ago.

I hope you still have it!!! That thing is worth bank today!

I wish man... That card caused too many problems... I remember when I showed it to my wife, she grabbed it and bent it just enough for me to nearly pass out. She thought it was fake... She is such a great gal... She made it up to me when she bought me a {Juzam Djinn}...

remasuri ger

80$ for 2 {sword of war and Peace} and 2 {sword of Fire and ICE}

Akatsoa

almost spent 40 bucks on a conflux foil progenitus

Moneekahh

Same here. With FNM costs, variety packs of all 4 sets (5 intro packs, fat pack, booster box), sleeves, EDH and my irrational spending on Legacy...I spend probably $3000-$4000 a year on MtG alone.

Last year I spent probably $7,000...so I'm on pace this year (before RtR) to spend about the same...

$30 on a {Chaos Orb} all so I could annoy my friends when I activated it.

Excellent choice!  My Unlimited {Chaos Orb} is still the pride of my collection. 😄

Woah. It must be nice to have that much money lol. $7000 is like my net worth lmao

Guitello

Hrm... Recently it would be either $18 for a {Geist of Saint Traft} when he costed a bit more, or $25 for a {Tamiyo, the moon sage}. Most I have spent ever on a card would have to be $75 for a {Tarmagoyf}

Well it's in-line with what people my age spend on going to clubs and concerts (and drugs, and clothes, and cars). I just shifted my "fun money" into magic. My girlfriend is an unwilling participant.

Yeah, it seems reasonable in perspective lol. There are a lot worse ways to spend money. And the cards retain value so it's not a completely sunk cost. It just seems like a lot to me since I've had all of one part time job in my life and save and invest 90% of my money and I still don't have much lol. Oh well, a few more years of school and all I be good to go, assuming I can find a job...
