The Z rides the White Python - like Magic!!

So, what happens when you turn a bunch of these (40 to be exact):

into this?

Trust me...I felt like a street pharmacist after leaving the comic shop with nearly $2000 in twenties in my pocket. :lol:

It turns into this:

I also bought my wife a dehydrator from Cabelas...and have two very sweet customs in the works. I'll post the customs when they are done...but it might be a bit. These two builds are going to be a bit tricky. :-$

A special thanks to Rockvoan for parting with his precious WP. It will be be babied and well taken care of. ;)

Thanks! I'm so geeked! :big grin:

Evidently, the 90's nerds have turned into Tech CEOs and are buying them up with stock options. :lol:

Seriously, the tournament players are the high rollers for Magic Cards. I knew there were some really rare cards that were big bucks, but I never had any. I spent maybe $100 on those 40 cards collectively to finish the entire play set back in 1994-95. I played with my wife the other night and decided to check prices. When I saw play sets of dual lands were going for $3000 retail for all mint and about $2500 for near mint...I didn't look back. It turns out those cards are rare, have been deemed too powerful and the makers have declared they will never re-print them. Instant market.

Dave,

After you told me your story, I am planning ahead and hoping my Yu Gi Oh cards end up the same way! :lol:

Beautiful rod Dave, that rod could have been designed with you specifically in mind.

Most excellent =D>

Always great to break in your new combo. What technique did you catch the fish on?
