BLACK FRIDAY COMC PICKUPS - PART 37: WHO IS SHE

 

THE FIRST THING I DID WHEN I STARTED BY BLACK FRIDAY BINGE WAS OPEN UP OVER A HUNDRED BOOKMARKED CARDS I HAD ACCUMULATED IN MY SEARCHES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF BLACK FRIDAYS. AFTER MY LAPTOP RECOVERED AND STARTED RESPONDING AGAIN AND I HAD PICKED UP A FEW NO BRAINERS I STARTED DOING DUMB STUFF LIKE SORTING BY LOWEST PRICE AND OPENING UP EVERY CATEGORY I COULD THINK OF TO SEE WHAT THE CHEAPEST CARD WAS. I HAD PICKED UP A BUNCH OF MAGIC CARDS RECENTLY SO I CHECKED THAT CATEGORY AND THERE WAS SOME GOLD STARING ME IN THE FACE FOR ONLY THIRTY-THREE CENTS

2010 MAGIC: THE GATHERING -  RISE OF THE ELDRAZI 

DRANA, KALASTRIA BLOODCHIEF HOLOFOIL

IF YOU READ THE PREVIOUS POST YOU KNOW I LIKE MAGIC CARDS OF PRETTY MONSTER GIRLS. THIS IS DEFINITELY THAT, LOOK AT THOSE BIG BEAUTIFUL HORNS. SHE'S ALSO A VAMPIRE PYROMANCER WITH A SNAZZY OUTFIT IN GEORGIA BULLDOGS* COLORS. AND AS A BONUS THIS CARD IS ALSO A RARE HOLOFOIL CARD AND YOU KNOW I LOVES THE SHINY. THIS WAS THE FIRST CARD THAT SHOWED UP WHEN I SORTED MAGIC BY LOWEST PRICE AND TOTALLED THIRTY-THREE CENTS. THIS MIGHT BE THE FASTEST CLICK TO PURCHASE OF ALL THE COMC PICKUPS. THE CARD LOOKS UTTERLY FANTASTIC IN PERSON TOO, SO HOW'D I GET IT SO CHEAP? TAKE A LOOK AT THE BORDER, SEE HOW IT'S EXTREMELY HOLOFOILY? THAT'S NOT A DESIGN CHOICE, THAT'S STRAIGHT UP WEAR AND TEAR. SOMEONE PLAYED THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF THIS CARD IN THEIR MAGIC DECK AND DID NOT USE PLASTIC SLEEVES. THIS IS THE M:TG EQUIVALENT OF A 50'S BASEBALL CARD WITH PERFECTLY ROUND CORNERS, A FEW SOFT CREASES AND AN UPDATED TEAM WRITTEN ON THE FRONT. WHICH AS YOU KNOW IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF CARDS I LOVE THE MOST

*NOW THAT I'M ANALYZING ALL MY COMC PURCHASES I'M SOMEWHAT SURPRISED THAT SO FAR I HAVEN'T BOUGHT A SINGLE GEORGIA BULLDOGS CARD YET. SOME OF IT IS DUE TO A VERY LIMITED BUDGET BEFORE THIS YEAR BUT I WENT APESHIT AND BOUGHT A TON OF JUNK IN 2022 AND THE CLOSEST I GOT WAS A FORMER UGA PLAYER IN A NOT-UGA OUTFIT. I DEFINITELY PICK UP COOL GEORGIA CARDS WHEN I FIND THEM OUT IN THE WILD, I GOT A NICE NICK CHUBB FLEER CARD IN A GEORGIA UNI AT THE ONLY LCS RUN FROM THE PAST YEAR THAT I DIDN'T SHOW OFF ON HERE. IT'S FUNNY TO ME THAT MAYBE A QUARTER OF MY T-SHIRTS AND HOODIES HAVE GEORGIA ON THEM BUT WHEN I'M BUYING CARDS THEY RANK WAY LOWER IN IMPORTANCE THAN MONSTERS, SOCCER AND CATS
