Awesome to watch. I got into magic in 95 and remember going to my local card shop and seeing unlimited, revised for 5-15 bucks a pack and just buying 4th edition because it was so much cheaper then the rest. I was only 16 at the time and when you only have 10-20 bucks to spend you want the most cards for your money. I think it was 2.95 a pack if I remember correctly at the time so I just bought the newest stuff. If only I would of known what I know now I would of went gang busters on the unlimited and revised packs.
Wow! That is a very searched looking pack! They almost wore the color off rubbing it around. Great cards regardless, i only have a few beta cards but i always grab it if its "cheap bulk", they just look great
Wait you bought that booster in that condition 10 years ago? Was it from a shop, online or direct from people. Didn't anyone told you that you shouldn't have done that?? That was clearly a scanned booster. Those marks looks like from someone doing a bad job at sliding the cards inside. In case you guys here didn't know any early boosters are kinda transparent and could be see through with a scan machine even from the 90's with horrible resolution as long you could see a bit of top name/casting cost you could figure out what was inside. It was later fixed with the aluminium kinda booster later. Don't ever buy a worn early booster, you'll get 100% junk. Even if it's clean you need to check with your own eyes before buying see if there are some lil marks to push cards on side or any horizontal marks cause the booster leave traces if it was squish by the cover of scanner. Sorry to spoil the fun, but guys be careful when you buy those.
It was probably a little less than 10 years ago, yeah. I believe it was from TCG Player or eBay I want to say? Thanks for your advice. I do agree, buying Vintage packs that are not directly from a box break is a BAD idea.
Holy that mind twist market is still nice to bad had a nick on bottoms but still amazing. That was intense for you and for me watching. Merry Christmas
Epic! Thanks for sharing. Pack was gnarley on the outside, but the seal and contents looked relatively decent and intact. Rare is one of the most playable, some may argue it is power 10. Turn one with that and a couple lotus/mox and your opponent will be drastically disadvantaged...
You are so welcome! By the way, I absolutely love your channel. I always look forward to your vintage openings! Thank you for watching and for your support!
Happy to have the conversation with you Adam! Private message me on Whatnot @collectiblecarddude and we can talk about it! If you are not on Whatnot, use my referral code in the link so we each get a bonus. Thank you for watching the video!
Hey nice pull! But I believe Word of Command and Lich would be better pulls for black, correct? But none the less it’s always nice seeing a beta pack crack! Thanks for bringing me back to my teenage years for a few minutes.
Congrats! Beautiful cards! Sold my NM-/LP+ Beta Mind Twist right before Covid (and its corresponding collectibles spike....oh well). Enjoy them! (I strongly recommend you *don't* get the lands slabbed, but instead use them in your decks as major "pimptastic" lands and story starters about your experience opening this pack. Regardless, way to go!! :)
Great advice, thank you! I do use pimp lands like these in my "pack war" matches. The rest of the cards I probably will get graded as these are so awesome and I want to preserve them forever. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you! It's my personality. This is a once in a lifetime opening for me. First and likely last ever Beta booster pack opening. Thanks for watching!
Actually, Royal Assassin, Nightmare and Demonic Tutor despite having numerous reprints and much cheaper versions in paper are more expensive than Mind Twist in black. Not sure why
Great opening! Mind twist is an epic card. That pack was rough, but the cards looked mostly good outside of the ding on the rare. I am curious how much you paid for this pack 10 years ago though, if you don't mind sharing. Liked, commented and subscribed!
Thank you for doing that! I am glad you enjoyed the pack. For something considered to be "searched" (as is the case with all loose pack vintage purchases not from a box break), the fact that I got an awesome rare like that was a joy for sure! 10 years might be a stretch... that was a rough estimate on my part. Today you can get a pack from a box break for about $12k. I didn't pay anywhere near that. I don't remember exactly, but it's probably about 25% of that.
@@collectiblecarddude cause people are looking for power n duals. Maybe some mid tier rares. But top stuff. That why all thats in there is a mind twist. Its on par with a shivan dragon.
Thank you for the excitement! We all opened our one and only Beta booster vicariously through you!🙏
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
That was AWESOME!!! I liked how you showed the artists name first, felt like a trivia game bc this art is so memorable! Nice Mind Twist too!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed it!
Never seen anyone so happy to see 4 lands in their beta booster lol. Fun opening though. Id love to bust one open!
The lands are worth more than most of the other cards.
I was just so happy to open this pack. It was SO fun! Thanks for watching!
In some cases, yes! Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas, thanks for the share. Don't see these get opened too often!
You are welcome! Likely my first (and last) ever Beta booster pack opening! Thanks for watching!

Same. Soooo many fallen empires packs for $1.00 each.
I am so glad you enjoyed it. We had the same childhood and neither of us knew what we had at the time!
I sell Fallen Empires fresh from my box for $9-$10. It's considered the worst set, but fantastic art. Thanks for watching the video!
@@youtubetrollking1880 I even remember seeing them for .88 at one point because they were trying to move them... lol
So much fun to watch. Thank you for opening this!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!

I don't think I'll ever see another one like this ever again. Like it got run over by a truck! Lol thanks for watching!

The condition confirms it was searched probably a hundred times lol

That rare for sale? One of my favorite cards in the game! I even have an artist proof of it!

Mind Twist, once one of the most feared cards out there. So freaking cool that it’s been lurking in that bombed-out booster for three decades!
Crazy to think about that, right!? Thanks for watching!
Mind twist dark ritual is one of the most evil starting hands to this day in my opinion.
I totally agree! I was hoping to get the Dark Ritual too but it's totally OK that I didn't. Thanks for watching!
Great opening! Commenting for the algorithm.
Love it, thank you!
I know mind twist isn't a power 9, but it's one of my favorite. Especially in black border.
It's a sick card. I wish the condition of it was a little better but it's totally awesome nonetheless. Thanks for watching!
Not bad. Thank You. I was psychic about the Sacrifice and then you about the Mind Twist. Merry Xmas
Merry Christmas to you too! Thanks for watching!
Hey nice pull! But I believe Word of Command and Lich would be better pulls for black, correct? But none the less it’s always nice seeing a beta pack crack! Thanks for bringing me back to my teenage years for a few minutes.
It depends on who you ask I guess. I'm thrilled with the pull regardless! Thanks for watching!

Good things can definitely come to those who wait, congrats
Thank you! I definitely waited for the right moment to open it and glad I did!
Thanks for making me feel old ;)
Lol you are welcome! If it makes you feel any better, I'm old too!
man that pack has been searched Hard over the years.
If it was searched hard though, why would such a great rare be left behind? Thanks for watching!
@@collectiblecarddude cause people are looking for power n duals.
Maybe some mid tier rares.
But top stuff.
That why all thats in there is a mind twist.
Its on par with a shivan dragon.
@@collectiblecarddude you do know how to tell if a pack has been searched?
$1,000 market value raw, nice pull 🤩🤩
Thank you Blightsteel! I was pretty excited as you can tell!
Friends don't use Mind Twists on friends.
Haha! Thanks for watching!
Mind twist is the 10th of the power 9
I was happy with that pull! Thanks for watching!
good job man
Thank you! I appreciate you watching the video!
neat 🥹💖
Glad you enjoyed it!
Paint rubbed off pack because someone looked through to see what was in there
I haven't seen that happen to any pack, ever. Maybe you have? Thanks for watching!
@@collectiblecarddude Very common with the oldest packs. You could move the cards and see what was inside effectively.
Very cool!!
Thank you very much!
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice hit!
Thank you so much!
Amazing!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching the video!
atta boy CCD!
I appreciate you! Thanks for watching!
Mind Twist is the rare.
Thanks for watching!
I believe that is alpha they added the tap symbol in beta
The corners match that of a normal card. Alpha corners are much more rounded. Wishful thinking though! Thanks for watching!
Big oof
Not in my opinion but thanks for watching!
25 minutes to open a pack, talking about milking your content 🙃
And I appreciate you watching all 25 minutes of it! :)
Beta is old, old, old
Yes it is and SO fun to open! Thanks for watching!
@collectiblecarddude i grew up in the beta era, I have a Lotus and couple of Moxes in hard cases
