Magic The Gathering Cards as an Investment
How well do the booster boxes age? Do they increase in value if you keep them a few years? Does it depend highly on the set popularity or the types of cards it contains?

I could ask a friend who used to work at a shop, but my understanding is that booster boxes used to age well as an investment, but then people noticed it and started buying booster boxes and keeping them sealed. So now they don't.

Buy google stock instead.

Depends a lot on the set.
It can take around 10 years for a set to have their boxes increase in value, just because of rarity of the set (assuming not particularly expensive card in it). Now, some sets are worth a LOT more, like time spiral and battle for zendikar, but that's due to a few outliners (fetch lands and tarmogoyf). Beside that, it's like I said, it takes a long time for a box set to significantly increase in value and even then, it doesn't beat inflation...

" Well, right now I'm maxing my 401k to matched contributions by the company I work for and trying to save up enough money for a house by the next time the market in my area takes a downswing. That's all I really have right now. Real estate is a great investment in my area... everything is getting higher and higher now though, so it's starting to feel eerie The MTG thing was kinda a not-serious deal, I just really like unboxing stuff, and if it would keep equiv value or gain value over time, I would consider buying a little up. Another thing I do for fun is go to the bank and get bulk coins and search through them for silver coins or more rare coins, not an investment by any means but fun and you break even and then some (even though it's miniscule) My 401k is mostly in domestic/foreign stocks, even though I don't really trust the stock market because another event like 2008 will fuck all that up. anything is everything Last edited by Manocean on May 7, 2017, 9:07:47 PM

I don't know if it's possible to make a good investment about buying booster pack, but I was playing Magic about 20 years ago and last year I sold my card. Some of them were pretty pricy for their age and rarity.

" I think I've opened 3 MTG boosters packs (yes individual packs) in my life and I got a... mythic? maybe holographic? It was last year idk what I was doing. But after watching a few unboxing videos recently I realized that the uncommon foil card I have and thought was awesome is.... probably just very average haha Yep I'm not touching any property for a bit, just gonna keep renting anything is everything Last edited by Manocean on May 7, 2017, 10:53:42 PM

" Fun fact, alternative art is inspired from MTG alternative art cards. Build of the week #9 - Breaking your face with style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_EcQDOUN9Y

" Nah, there's actual alternate art, there's also full card art. They were generally promotional cards that you'd get at a friday night magic, a pro tour, judge reward, frequent player reward or pre-release promo.
