So I have about 20,000 unsorted magic cards that I am currently sorting. I divide all the cards up into the appropriate colors, then divide the colors up into spells and creatures. I have been doing this near nonstop for the past few days and I just noticed last night that my finger tips have been rubbed raw by the card edges.

In case you are wondering what 20,000 cards looks like, imagine 400 decks of cards lying in a straight line. Either way I thought I would let everyone know that i'm a pretty big nerd for having so many cards.

Alright so I just finished sorting all my cards and I thought I would upload a few pictures per Stitz's request. Each box contains about 4,000 cards, weighs 18 pounds and hold only 1 color. Between the 5 Boxes there is roughly 90 pounds of cards, and 2 small boxes that add another 5 or so pounds.

Yea, I actually bought the majority of them on ebay. My brother and all his friends play, when they get back from vacation I'll start selling them my cards. Make back the majority of my money. Then when I am done with them all, sell the remainders back on ebay. If all goes according to plan I should make a decent profit on the cards. If I don't decide to sell them back its no biggy. We make tons of decks, these cards make good filler.

Heh, I'm already a decent card thrower... and these things are thick and heavy. A card flys far with a decent amount of momentum. Put welts on my brother from a few feet away with these babies.

I'll take a peak, I know I saw a fair amount of drakes in the island... but it looks like you may be partial to mountain.

Just make good decks and sell them as whole, I think people would be interested in one-two punch type decks, if I played, I know I would, and add certain addons to each deck for extra cash that would be more epic creatures or whatever, and tell them why each card added to a specific deck is beneficial.
