    I am pretty sure I can explain the tape. People like to shake starterts to make sure there is no lose cards inside and instead a properly sealed starter. The tape would make it sound right.

    Well, must admit the geek as I am, this was actually an important opening! A few years ago, I made replica Alpha print sheets with the help of data gathered by The Collation Project and watching every single Alpha product opening video I could find. In the end I had to make a best guess for the artwork of one of the mountains on the uncommon sheet (I never found an opening covering that area of the sheet), this opening finally confirmed I guessed correctly 😂 Also, for what it’s worth, there are three island rares in Alpha on the rare sheet, the one you opened is the one that is replaced in Beta with Volcanic Island. The version of the art was unknown for many years until a Beta starter with Alpha rares was opened maybe two years ago - I believe this is the first time it’s been seen from an Alpha pack!

    This is why I think there shouldn’t be a single box left unopened. I get that having an unopened box is a finite thing and there’ll be a point where there’ll be only a handful left, making them even rarer, BUT if those boxes aren’t cracked, then what if the last 5 “unopened” alpha starter decks in the world are actually filled with fucking Wyvern cards and Italian magic cards. There’s NO guarantee anymore that you have what you think you have until you open it

    • @Alfred5555
      @Alfred5555 3 місяці тому

      The only reason not to open them, is to artificially inflate the market, and create a fraudulent market where scams are possible. It's like diamonds and watches, literally worthless, but people think they're rare so they've got inflated market value from artificial scarcity. The unopened packs should organically increase in value as they're naturally opened over time, to purposely hold them unopened because of their value is purely a weird capitalist thing, and it births all these scams and frauds, etc.

    • @Jesse-lv2yo

First its simple lab gloves, then gloves that go up to the elbows, and then eventually it gets to the point where he goes "Alright, it's time to open cards" and he starts putting on a full hazmat suit and brings the camera to a sterilized room.

    🤣😂 Wow! That is the most amateur repack I've ever seen.
    Tape, and cards from Time Spiral block. Future Sight cards would have been funnier inside an Alpha deck.
    The second Alpha deck is totally legit, no problems there.
    There's 5 basic Islands on the Alpha rare sheet, and only 1 of each other card. This means you're 5 times more likely to open an Island than any other particular card.
    This artwork of Island appeared on the rare sheet 3 times.
    This particular Rare Island is the special one. It occupied the space that became Volcanic Island in Beta & Unlimited.
    If you were opening Beta or Unlimited instead, this would have been a Volcanic Island.
    This is only the second time that one of these has been opened on video!
    Ideally, that card should be closely studied for any kind of identifying feature which would enable other previously opened Alpha Rare Islands to be identified.
    If they're able to be identified, the could become a desirable variant, similar to the "campfire" Desert in Arabian Nights. The first person to figure it out, gets a head start on searching for them.
