Pricing My Magic: The Gathering Mono Red Deck From 1994
I don't have many regrets in life, most of them being food related, but one that persists to this day is selling my Magic: The Gathering mono red deck constructed in the early 1990s at the advent of Magic cards. This collection of 60 cards, at the time, didn't carry the thought of investment. But after one of my friends told me he recently sold his entire collection from that era to purchase a house, I figured I may as well finally endure the pain of pricing out what I sold for a mere $600. And yes, $600 back then was a lot of money to a 17 year-old looking to escape the confines of Florida. That money enabled me to go on a cross-country journey for a year and discover that I still didn't know what I wanted to do. Still don't. Regardless, those were all the Magic cards I had left at the time, my mono red deck that brought me endless wins, after selling the rest earlier to friends. This deck I sold to a dealer, someone who surely knew what their value would become. I hope he's enjoying the Maserati I inadvertently bought him. I've forgotten a lot of things over the years, but I haven't forgotten the majority of the cards that made up my mono red deck from 1994. These cards came from the Limited Edition Alpha and Limited Edition Beta, but not the Unlimited Edition. And while Revised Edition came out in 1994, I had already built my deck by then, starting as soon as the cards hit shelves in the comic book store that I basically lived in during those early high school years. And while I've rebuilt that original mono red deck with reprints, it's not the same. The only point of contention as it concerns my memory is whether some of the cards I had were Alpha or Beta. Unlimited cards had a white border, and I know my deck was all black borders, which was a trait of both Alpha and Beta. MTG: Mono Red Deck circa 1994 So let's break down the cards in this deck that I swear existed in my possession, with pricing from TCGPlayer. I'll use Beta as the baseline, swapping Alpha when my brain is almost sure the card came from that release. As far as condition, let's assume if I had kept these cards, they'd be heavily played but not damaged. Prices can tend to be all over the place, so I'll do my best. There's going to be some estimation and averages. And I'm using listing prices, not the market price because the listing price is more based in actual reality as far as sales. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder No, I did not have a Volcanic Island. I wasn't savvy enough back then to play dual-color decks. All I had was basic land, mountains, 20 of them. Current price for a mountain from the Beta set is about $10 for a heavily played card. So that's $200 right there just for lands. 40 cards to go. Lightning Bolt (4): I don't know if these were from the Alpha or Beta sets, so with the price for a heavily played Alpha Lightning Bolt around $300 and a Beta one sitting around $140, let's go with the average of $220 each. Total value of $880. Of course, this card isn't legal in a lot of formats anymore, but back then, we didn't care. We played in the mall. Remember malls? Fork (1): What a great card. Want your Lightning Bolt to be more effective? Play it with a Fork. Double the damage, double the fun. Beta edition value of $445. Shivan Dragon (1): Starting at the top, with the big beast of the deck and most expensive creature as far as mana cost back then. I have a reprint in my mono red dragon Commander deck now, but I sure do wish I had this card today, as it averages around $2,550 between Alpha and Beta on the open market. Rock Hydra (2): Average price $330 each. Dragon Whelp (4): If you had a mono red deck in 1994, you had a bunch of Dragon Whelps. There weren't a ton of creatures yet, so you filled your deck with what you had. And these were certainly from Alpha. They go for about $200 each now. Roc of Kher Ridges (1): I can't really remember if I had two of these or two of the next card because of the similar name. The Beta edition values are about the same at about $160 so it's kind of a wash. Roc Hydra (2): While the Alpha edition is worth a bit more, chances are I had the Beta verison so we'll stick with the $160 here. Hurloon Minotaur (2): This card isn't worth much nowadays, oddly enough. The Alpha edition version is sitting at around $11. Sedge Troll (1): I distinctly remember the horrid little creature on the face of this card. Beta version is a whopping $525. There are no Alpha versions on the market at all, so I probably didn't have that version. Dwarven Warriors (2): Beta edition goes for about $3, even less than the Minotaur. But I'm certain I had a few of these little fellers in my deck. Mon's Goblin Raiders (1): Priced around $17, this was one of those cards I stuffed into my deck because I wanted to have all possible creatures represented, even though at this time, sorcery and instants were much more powerful. Creatures were just cool to look at sitting useless on the food court table, as I pounder my opponents with Lightning Bolts. Fire Elemental (1): Finally, a Fire Elemental rounded out my creatures. This card would sell for around $18 currently, though I'd probably price it at $17 because I'm cool like that. Fireball (4): Aside from Lightning Bolt, this was the best player damage card in the deck. Forget about attacking creatures, one mana plus X means I'm coming after you. These average around $44 on the open market nowadays, not a huge price tag after 31 years, but not too shabby for a single very used card. Earthquake (2): Another X sorcery card, this one does both player and creature damage at the same time. The Beta version, heavily played, is selling for around $260. Stone Rain (2): Did you like that land? How about if I destroy it with this $11 card? Wheel of Fortune (1): Yes, that Wheel of Fortune card. While not a board wipe card, it did shake things up, especially if you waited until you had one card (this one) and your opponent still had a handful. Totally worth it. And totally worth about $2,597 in aggregate between Alpha and Beta. Disintegrate (2): An exile card before exile was a thing. The language on these early cards was very descriptive. 'Disintegrate does X damage to one target. If target dies this turn, it is removed from game entirely and cannot be regenerated. Return target to its owner's deck only when game is over.' It's worth about $6. Mana Flare (1): I didn't have a lot of Enchantments in my early decks, not like my Commander decks now that are packed full of them. But I know I had this one and the next two. And even though this $360 (average) card helped the other player, it also enabled me to punish them with even stronger Fireballs. Earthbind (1): There weren't a ton of flying creatures, but if you had one and I pulled this card, it wasn't flying anymore. Only worth around $15 nowadays, but this card spawned so many anti-flying cards. Burrowing (1): To be clear, I owned other Enchantments at some point, such as Power Surge and Firebreathing, but once I built my deck and started winning (loser had to buy Sbarro's) I usually traded my cards for comics or a few loose cigarettes. This card sells for around $5, but in my opinion at least, that artwork is iconic. Sol Ring (1): Yeah, of course I had an original Sol Ring. A mainstay in almost every Commander deck these days, this card was a must-have in a deck with numerous X mana cards. Needed that extra mana. $645 average value now. Glasses of Urza (1): You may be asking if I had a Black Lotus, surely one of the most sought after and expensive Magic: The Gathering cards in existence. I did not. But I had these glasses that sell for about $30. I'm going to look at your hand and there's nothing you can do about it. Mox Ruby (1): I may not have had a Black Lotus in this deck, but I sure did have a Mox Ruby. One of the vaulted Mox cards, since it could be played as an interrupt (early word for instant), it was extremely helpful for throwing a Lightning Bolt when you are otherwise tapped. Current aggregate between Alpha and Beta puts a heavily played version of this card around $4,750. Chaos Orb (1): This $1,800 card (Beta) was so much fun. Here, let me throw a card and hope it lands on one of your creatures. Could you imagine this mechanic in today's game? It's totally banned in modern formats, but if you are just playing with an Alpha/Beta deck (because you're rich apparently) then it's allowed. Lands: $200 Instants: $1325 Creatures: $5077 Sorcery: $3327 Enchantments: $380 Artifacts: $7,225 Total estimated deck value if I had just kept these cards: $17,154. I sold them all in 1996 for $600. No regrets, because it was a heck of a lot of fun playing Magic: The Gathering in the food court back in the day. Selling my Magic: The Gathering mono red deck was a lesson Not everything you purchase as a fan or collector has to be saved as an investment, but so many from our generation (Gen-X) had something when they were a kid that is worth a lot now. And while it's hard to predict what that might be, that thinking has influenced the current state of the resale market and why many of us buy one box of Magic: The Gathering cards to play with, and one to sell. Invest wisely; but be sure to have fun along the way so even if you have regret, at least you had a good experience along with it.

Heat, floods and a 'glacial outburst'
Intense rain, heat and flooding disrupted lives in scattered locations across the country this week. Welcome to Climate Point, your weekly guide to news on climate change, energy and the environment. I'm Dinah Voyles Pulver, a national correspondent for USA TODAY, coming to you from the Sunshine State where my car thermometer on Aug. 13 told me it was 100 degrees at 7:30 p.m. According to the National Weather Service, the average overnight minimum temperature in at least one Central Florida location has increased by 3 degrees in my lifetime. Madeline Heim at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel looked at how climate change is increasingly fueling extreme rainfall events, a topic that keeps emerging as flood after flood occurs across the United States. In Wisconsin, the National Weather Service reported some parts of Milwaukee received more than a foot of rain, which would shatter the state's 24-hour rainfall record if verified. River heights soared. The record rain was called a 1 in 1,000 year event. The 2010s were Wisconsin's wettest decade since record-keeping began around 1900. Between 2010 and 2019, the state experienced at least 21 "100-year" rainfall events, meaning a 1% chance of the event occurring in a given year,' Hein reported. Since Milwaukee's weather records began in 1871, there have only been 11 days when the city has seen more than four inches of rain. Seven of those occurred in the past 30 years. A 'glacial outburst' in Alaska Flooding in Juneau, where temperatures have been rising in recent years, also has been attributed to climate change. Water from a melting glacier caused a river near the capital city to swell to historic levels amid a "glacial outburst" event that prompted flooding fears and evacuations. Emergency barriers installed through the city appeared to successfully funnel floodwaters away from neighborhoods as planned. As students begin returning to school and a couple of cold fronts have hinted at cooler temperatures to come, heat continues to blaze in some areas of the country. On August 10, neary 30 million people across the nation were enduring heat advisories or extreme heat warnings. Conditions caused concern in the Pacific Northwest on Aug. 11 and 12. Some Oregonians experienced consecutive days of record-breaking heat. U.S. weather officials have released a first fall forecast for the season, but it's not necessarily great news for some. Trump administration actions draw concern Controversy over the actions of the Trump administration has roiled environmental advocates on several fronts, including the proposed rollback of the agency's landmark endangerment finding and a report by a small group of experts drafted by the U.S. Department of Energy that contradicts major prior environmental reports. A report by the Arizona Republic found that experts say the rollback of the endangerment finding could undermine the nation's established framework for containing the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving the intensification of heat waves, droughts and flooding. The EPA also has rescinded impairment ratings for some rivers. The agency rescinded a controversial decision to place seven segments of the Cedar, Des Moines, Iowa, Raccoon and South Skunk rivers on the state's list of impaired waters because of high nitrate levels. Energy action by Trump administration A Biden-era initiative to build a nationwide network of electric vehicle chargers has come to an abrupt halt after the Trump administration blocked any additional spending on the effort to install chargers at gas stations, rest stops and other locations. A coalition of Democrat-led states and nonprofits has sued to get the funding restarted, but there's been no final decision yet, and the installations remain on hold. But nuclear power is experiencing a kind of renaissance as it's championed by the new administration. The White House wants three new small-scale reactors fueled and running by the country's 250th anniversary next summer, in addition to endorsing expansions of existing plants. State wildlife officials at work In Florida, bear advocates were frustrated with a decision by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to approve a hunt of Florida black bears. The hunt comes a decade after the state's first bear hunt in years killed more bears than originally intended and further ignited tensions over hunting. Florida officials also recently concluded the state's annual python hunting championship, where hunters team up to try to help state officials eradicate the invasive species that preys on the state's native and protected species. In California, the state's Fish and Game Commission unanimously voted to declare the Quino checkerspot butterfly a candidate for listing under the state's Endangered Species Act, after a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity and the Endangered Habitats League. The imperiled butterfly is known for its red, black and cream-colored checkered wings

Here's What to Do With All That "Boomer Junk" You've Inherited
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Most of us have a lot of stuff. Boxes of nostalgic family photos, shelves of books you swear this year you'll finally read, and a closet full of clothes you rarely touch. But no one has more stuff than an empty-nest parent who's finally downsizing. Humorously known as "boomer junk," this organizational nightmare is reaching its peak as parents are retiring, moving, and decluttering. 'Boomers grew up in a time of economic prosperity, raised by parents shaped by the Great Depression, so they rarely get rid of anything for fear of needing it later,' says professional organizer Regina Lark. 'Many of them are also collectors and highly sentimental, which leads to a lot of things they find it hard to part with.' The Boomer generation is also staying in their homes longer than previous generations, with the 'age in place' trend, which means more time in a house for things to accumulate, explains Lark. In many cases, it will fall to kids and grandkids to decide what to do with the old dance costumes, school art projects, and childhood memorabilia their parents insisted on keeping in the attic or basement. Read on for Lark's top five tips for sorting through and handling the boomer junk. First, Negotiate Gently The first step is a serious talk with your parents, if they're still around. Work to understand what is fair game to throw out, donate, and what they would like to keep. Everyone has a different nostalgia level, and that mug you think is a spare might be their favorite one. Clear expectations will help the entire decluttering process go much more smoothly and even more quickly, once you know where to begin. 'It will also help if you allow your parents time to explain their bond with certain things,' Lark explains. 'Let them tell you the stories and memories; it actually makes letting go of items easier.' Negotiations also apply to siblings and other family members. If you both want the same armchair, talk it out. It may seem silly, but allow people to call dibs on items that truly matter to them. 'If a stack of boxes in your garage rather than on the curb will prevent fighting for years to come, do it. It's your family,' says Lark. Create a Scrapbook It's time to digitize all of those photo albums, or at least combine them into one. Do you need the family shot where no one is looking the right way? How about the four copies of your second-grade yearbook photo? We recommend combining your photo albums into just a few books. If you're feeling crafty, make a new scrapbook of sentimental moments or opt for a photo book service like Shutterfly and turn your memories into a coffee table book for safekeeping. Photograph or Frame Sentimental Belongings Professional framers can tackle almost anything. Your mom's wedding dress or your father's favorite records can be turned into beautiful wall art and preserved behind glass. Think of this as creating a miniature museum of memories. Services like The Heirloomist will photograph almost anything and send you back a beautiful print that you can keep forever, long after that baseball hat has gone threadbare. Prioritize & Think Realistically Are your parents trying to convince you to take their antique china home to your one-bedroom apartment? Sometimes we have to give up certain things when they no longer fit our lifestyles. 'There's a level of value placed on everything we bring into our homes,' explains Lark. 'What you value and what your parents value are going to be different, and it's important to set boundaries about whether what you're keeping is really going to benefit your current life.' Reserve a Time Whether your parents have already planned to downsize (and set a move date), or this is just a challenging situation you know is in your future, it will help to set a firm deadline that can help prevent the 'I'll get to it eventually' trap. Cleaning out your family belongings is an emotional process, and even if everyone is alive and well, it involves a measure of grief. 'Make a family day of decluttering,' Lark recommends. 'Listen to the stories, play dress up in your grandmother's closet, understand their lives before you box everything back up. It's valuable quality time.' The entire decluttering process is not meant to be rushed, but whether it be a month or a year, setting a goal of when you want to be finished going through everything can help keep you on track.
