Day one: The collection challenge

Day 1: The great sorting project! The two of us were handed three shopping bags full of cards, ranging from Unlimited to Innistrad block. This was just what we found on the first day. We sorted them into old border and modern, plus by colour. Later on we plan to go through and look for money cards with more care.

A lot of the collection is just junk uncommons and commons, but even on the first day we found some cool cards from Magic's history.

One really exciting find for me, as a collector of basic lands. Two Zendikar Mountains, and a Japanese 4th Edition mountain that is black bordered. Back then, white borders were for subsequent printings in that language.

We also found a couple of un cards!

The only money cards we found weren't very exciting, but it whetted our appetite for more.

This was starting to get exciting, but also daunting. On the first day we only got through about a quarter of the first bag.
