I snagged a {tamiyo the moon sage} just today. I'm pretty sure it was the most expensive card I've bought at 14 bucks. I spent my cash on  a single piece of cardboard. Cringe.

You traded fourteen pieces of green paper for one piece of cardboard. So? ;)

(I know it's not really paper, but a composite fabric)

Good cal Jesterl! I feel better. The cardboard is much sturdier than composite fabric and the paint job vastly more colorful. And don't get me started on the health issues. Cardboard slips are far more sanitary. I'm going to trade all my composite fabric for cardboard :)

I have proly spent $1500-$2000 this year and the year is not over.....

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...

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

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.
LMAO that is what I am going to start calling my wife.....unwilling participant.  I am an unwilling participant for all her spending .... like who needs a $400 blender????  Well actually I like that blender cuz it makes some killer miller milk shakes <insert bring boys to the yard joke here>

In 1998 or so I paid $20 for a {Shahrazad} and $10 for an unlimited {Fork}.

I paid $500 for a set of {underground sea}'s in June.

Must be a Kitchen Aid. My wife has one in pink that cost $400 and he hasn't used it once. And she gripes at me for buying Magic cards....

To stay on topic, I haven't bought any singles. I just buy boosters and trade for what I need.

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I spent $100 for an unlimited {mox jet}.

In a galaxy far far away, I tried to buy a hyper drive from this little blue flying elephant/elf thing with republican credits.  He would not take my credits so I made this unsuspecting kid enter a pod race to win it for me.  I love the lack of child labor laws in other galaxies 😜
