Wait, is "the cut-up card is fake" the horse or the zebra in this analogy?

Because when I see an image designed to troll people for a quick laugh, my first assumption is that the jokester did not spend thousands of dollars to create it.

I mean the joke wouldn't work if one didn't consider the implications of it being real for a moment first, before you even realize it's an image designed to troll people

Probably

You say that, but my brother was at an Alpha pre-release event and there was a lady using a button press to make cute wearables out of Mox cards. He has his Jet badge, and the rest of the card, in a display case signed by Richard Garfield.

They currently go for the price of a new car, but no one in 1993 knew how big this poo poo was going to get.

I had two revised dual lands and my best friend had two moxes but we both traded them away for a crap ton of other cards not knowing what they'd one day be worth

Had a lot of fun over the years with those other cards though

Does data necessarily have an rear end, is the bigger question.

Data's rear end is present, but not working. Like a network card without the appropriate driver.

Why? Are you DM'ing an RPG with Anus Shades?

I remember when the first price lists came out and people were gawping at the idea that people would pay $13 for a Shivan Dragon, the best and most expensive card.

I guy I played with at the time was building decks with lots of Mox and stuff mostly as gimmick beside as rares went they were pretty affordable and he thought it was neat to use them instead of land where possible. I hope he didn't sell out too quick and owns an island somewhere.

I doubt he owns very much Land at all.

at first i thought this was from one of the giant promos, they reprinted some of the earliest cards in large bindersized editions so you could decorate the front, i figured someone had turned one of those into a coaster

you can tell the photo they used to shop this was from one of these promos because of the small text underneath the artist credit, and if you know what you're looking at, the brown artifact border has the fallen empires cardface instead of the beta or alpha one and the text in the box is all wrong

yeah its true that i'm a nerd but for a long time it was my job to authenticate collectibles, so i've heard of much greater tragedies than just one dead lotus

multiple sets of alpha and beta dead in a basement flood, cardboxes that exploded on a highway, leaving miles strewn with what's now worth tens of thousands of dollars... all those moments, lost... like tears... in the rain.

you just can't think about what could have been, most of those situations would have wound up being hawked for beer money in college or something

e: one of the things I wonder about is the original art for MTG, afaik most of them were sold pretty early and i've seen original examples for instance the 5 Dan Frazier moxes at a convention somewhere, if they still exist as a collection, they would be worth far more than just some printed cards, I could see them going to auction for millions ityool 2021

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Did Noonian Soong program Data with his own best moves, or did he consult consult experts? Does Data eat rear end? He's fully functional so how did Dr. Soong decide on the flavour of his cum?

I like to think that Noonian Soong had table full of dicks in various prototype stages, trying to perfect everything in it making it most realistic dick that there was. Then i realized that genitals, anuses, boobs and mouths would have been perfected already hundreds years before Noonian was even born. He could just go to "Kirk's Pleasure Planet" to buy one.
