Six Packs Of Magic The Gathering Innistrad And Five Packs Of Return To Ravnica That Are Going In The Treasure Chest

Before I leave for work today I'm trying to scramble to get this post up. I haven't updated this blog in a few days but I have added a post to the main blog. It's a Talia Joy tribute post that I meant to make on the anniversary of her passing but I missed it by about a week. Go check it out and be sure to give me as much social media love as possible on that blog because I really need to grow the main blog if I'm going to get this project up and running. Right now neither of these blogs have any legs because they are still so knew, I'm an experienced blogger though and I know it will be three to four months before I see real organic search engine growth now that I am posting on a weekly basis. Expect to see regular posts on this blog but mostly I want to focus my efforts on my other blog because it will be a hub for all the activity going on with my world community grid and folding@home projects.

In these scans we have more magic the gathering sealed booster packs. I pulled out six packs of Innistrad and 5 packs of Return To Ravnica to add to the treasure chest this time. Both of these blocks are becoming very popular and are rising in price per pack and per box so these will be ones you want to grab if you get the chance. That should be all of my MTG cards that are less than 3 years old unless I buy some new ones. I still have many older vintage packs that I will be posting in the coming weeks. I hope to get most of them up by the end of the month.

If you want a chance to win these packs while at the same time helping to find cures for disease like cancer you should download the world community grid program here.

Then you need to join team Endthedisease. After that just let it run on your computer. You will not even notice it's there. Visit this blog regularly for contest start dates.

3 Magic The Gathering Booster Packs Of Planeshift, Onslaught And Conflux I'm Adding To The Treasure Chest

As I promised last week I am going through some of my older magic the gathering booster packs and placing them in the treasure chest. A lot of these are very old but in many cases I only have one pack of each. If there is a demand for older MTG booster packs I will try to purchase some more online.

The first pack we have is Planeshift. This came out in February of 2001 so a really old booster pack here. These packs go for about $8-$10 these days but sometimes they are much more expensive. Cards to look for are Orim's Chant, Lord of the Undead and Meddling Mage.

The second pack I scanned is from Onslaught which came out in  October of 2002. These go for about $15-$20 per booster pack from what I have seen. Cards that go for crazy prizes are Polluted Delta, Windswept Heath, Goblin Piledriver and Flooded Strand. All of these can be over $30 cards.

The third and last pack shown here is Conflux which had its debut in February of 2009 so it's not very old compared to the other packs listed here. Look for Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker and the Progenitus cards in this pack.

That's all the MTG sealed packs I have to list for now. I did have more I wanted to put in this post but I had a problem with my scanner. Hopefully I can get more up tomorrow.

If you want a chance to win these cards it's easy as pie. Just read through this post I'm linking to below and you should have an idea of what to do.

4 Packs Of Score 2013 Football Cards And 2 Packs Of Topps Strata I'm Placing In The Treasure Chest

I'm pulling out some more football cards that I got from the walmart variety box I bought. I'm adding these to the treasure chest. The chest is getting pretty full now. I will probably reach over a 150 factory sealed packs by early next week. I guess I really need to get around to launching the first contest. I'm working on this behind the scenes. You guys can't really see what I'm doing but I'm in talks with several big sports hobby forums. Many of these sites have thousands of visitors a day and I'm hoping to lower the number of cards in my possession very soon. I'm also going to be concentrating on making more posts on the main blog. The endthedisease blog really needs more work, I can do a lot more serious posts there that explain more about what I'm doing. I will also do a lot of posts about cancer as a disease and how we can work towards a cure. I might even gets some guests posts from people in the research community or posts from cancer research advocates. Just be on the lookout for a lot of new content on that blog. I will still be posting here but just not as often as before.

For this post we have four packs of Panini Score football cards from the 2013 season. There are twelve cards in each pack with a chance to pull rookie signatures.

Next up we have two packs of Topps Strata 2013 football cards. These are great cards and there are six individual cards in each sealed pack. Wouldn't it be great to pull a Geno Smith low numbered autograph card out of one of these packs? You might think it's possible to pull a card like that out of a reatail pack but I have seen it happen before.

If you want to try and win some of these cards in the near future all you have to do is follow the simple instructions below. This will only take a minute or two to set up.

First you need to run the world community grid disease research program. You can download it through this link.

11 Packs Of 2013-2014 Score Panini NHL Cards And 7 Packs Of Prizm Cards I'm Adding To The Treasure Chest

 

Today I picked up some blaster boxes of NHL cards but I decided to pen them and put the sealed hockey card packs into the treasure chest for random pulls and for the comment contests. I'm not a big fan of hockey but I do have some friends online that are obsessed with the sport. I know more than a couple of guys in Canada that will want to try and win some of these.

The score cards are from the 2012-2013 season and there were eleven packs in the blaster box along with a clear see-thru pack that looks like it has three cards in it. I don't know if this is a hit pack or just base cards as I can't see what the third card is. I will keep it safe and use it as a bonus prize at some point in the future. There are twelve cards in each of these packs and there is a chance for autograph cards with these.

The prizm cards are from the same NHL season as above. There are seven packs here with four cards in each pack but you can always pull an autograph from one of these packs.

As far as hockey goes I will not be adding as many packs from this sport as I do for football or baseball. The main reason is that I like to try and focus on the types of sports that are most popular in America. I will mostly be shipping to the 50 U.S states to save on shipping. I will try to ship to Canada at some time and if the costs of mailing cards isn't too high then I might start purchasing more Hockey cards.

As always to win some of these great prizes you need to be running world community grid. You can still win a few packs from commenting during a contest but the big prizes are for running this program and doing disease research that could lead to cures for cancer. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/viewRegister.do?teamIDha=2H274R71S1

8 Packs Of Panini Prestige Football Cards For 2013 I Bought To Add To The Treasure Chest

I'm doing one more quick post before I go to bed. I have to work tomorrow so I wanted to get this done tonight in case I don't have enough time to add more cards before I go in. I've got eight packs of Panini prestige football cards from 2013. I believe this was the year when their base cards had the all white backgrounds which wasn't too appealing to me but all their insert cards looked awesome. In the past prestige has put out some really beautiful cards and they have the advantage of being among the first product to hit the market each year that shows new rookies in their player uniforms. If you want a chance to get the first ever autograph card of a freshly drafted player these are cards you want to buy. I will be adding all of these packs to the treasure chest and I'm thinking of buying even more of these early next month.

If you want to win these cards while helping find cures for diseases like cancer and HIV then you need to visit this link and read the majority of this post. It should explain to you what I'm doing or at least give you an idea of what you need to do. If you have any questions feel free to comment on that post or in the comment section below this one.

4 Packs Of Panini Football 2013 Prizm Cards I Got In A $20 Variety Box I Bought At Walmart That I'm Adding To The Treasure Chest

I've just bought another value pack box at walmart. Finally they have some football cards. I swear I went into work yesterday and walked across the street to see if they had anything new before my shift started. I didn't see any kind of mix pack football boxes but 12 hours later when I got off they had just one 13 pack box left. I guess they must have put a bunch of them out while I was on the clock and they had already sold them all but the last one. These are great variety packs to get if you see them on sale. They only run about twenty bucks and you get mostly high end packs that have high hit ratios. The only thing I don't like about them is the sticky glue they use to keep the front cards stuck against the cardboard. This is to insure that the best three packs in the box remain viewable by the customer. Unfortunately some of the glue remains on the packs so you end up with two or three packs that are going to stick together if you try to store them like I do. When I place these in the treasure chest I will just wrap a piece of paper around them. I have never had a problem with this adhesive hurting the cards inside the pack though. They will be just fine when you open them.

I'm going to split the packs up and make three separate blog posts for them. It's an excuse for me to have more activity on this blog and it will great more search engine food for Google. If you are reading this in late July I am still waiting to get this blog picked up by the search engines. I've had many blogs in the past and I really don't get motivated until I see the traffic coming in from the big search engines.

So from the variety pack I bought I've scanned the four packs of Panini 2013 prizm cards that were in the box. I know that the 20 pack hobby boxes guarantee you will get two autograph cards and I have seen people pulling signed rookie cards out of packs they got in variety boxes just like this one unboxing videos on the web. I also know that you get at least one rookie card in each of the bigger packs but since these are 4 card packs I don't know if you'll pull one in every pack. I assume not as that would be a rookie card in every four cards but who knows. No matter what you get these prizm football cards look great and have really nice borders on the cards. Some of the cards are low numbered die cuts and you could pull some valuable limited edition cards and maybe even an autograph rookie from the 2013 season.

As always if you want the best chances of getting these cards you need to be running the world community grid program on your computer. Download it below. It's easy and I promis you won't get any popups on this site and there is no danger of viruses.

6 Packs Of Magic The Gathering Fifth Dawn And 2 Packs Of Odyssey I'm Adding To The Treasure Chest

As of today I'm trying to move into some older magic the gathering booster packs. I have well over fifty factory sealed MTG booster packs that are all five to ten years old and some might even be older. I will try to date these and give you an idea of what is inside them but in many cases I have never opened packs that are this old so I'll have to do some research online as I type out these posts. Check out the treasure chest page to see a full list of all the sealed packs I have up for grabs as of today.

I'm still scanning items as I don't have a portable camera or a smartphone right now. I do own one HD camera but it has to stay plugged into my laptops USB drive to work and the cord is only a few feet long so I really can't get good lighting with it. In this scan you can see that I have several sealed packs of Fifth Dawn and Odyssey. Fifth Dawn came out way back in June of 2004. Most of your high value cards are going to be around the ten dollar mark with this set but there are cards that go as high as $30. Some of the best cards to look for from this block are Crucible of Worlds, Engineered Explosives and Vedalken Shackles. These older packs are getting harder to find every day so you might want to scoop these up if you get the chance or better yet get them for free by competing in one of my upcoming world community grid contests.

Odyssey came out in September of 2001 so at the time of this post these cards are already thirteen years old. The most expensive card in this set goes for around $50. When you rip these packs look for Entomb, Standstill and Terravore. There are of course tons of other cards that have a high listing price and these are great cards to hold onto if you want to watch their value rise.

I hope those of you reading this post will seriously consider joining my world community grid team. I know I haven't explained in great detail how these contests will work but hopefully you realize that value of a program that allows you to do disease research with your own computer that could lead to cures for some forms of cancer. World community grid has been involved in children's cancer research for many years and recent finished projects have shown positive results that could lead to a new drug that might be the cure for neuroblastoma, one of the most deadly childhood cancers.

Start doing your part to help find future cures for multiple diseases. Every computer can help. Download the program through this link.

8 Dark Ascension And 7 Avacyn Restored Magic The Gathering Booster Packs I'm Adding To The Treasure Chest

I know I lied about going to bed but I know I want have any time to post scans for the next 24 hours or so and I want to get most of my newer cards up so I can concentrate on getting some sleep. I believe these are the last of my Avacyn Restored and Dark Ascension booster packs. If you want to get these cards you just need to run world community grid and be on my team. I think the link below should explain what you need to do. I'm just too tired to make a long wordy post like I usually do.

6 Packs Of Magic The Gathering Mirrodin Besieged And 6 Packs Of Scars Of Mirrodin For The Treasure Chest

I have twelve packs of Magic the Gathering booster packs to add to the treasure chest today. It's early and I'm actually just going to bed right now because I work third shift. I wanted to scan these packs of Mirrodin Besieged and Scars of Mirrodin to get up on the blog before I pass out. I will probably be working a long shift today and into tomorrow so I don't know if I'll be able to post any new stuff for the next two days or so after this. I have a lot of amazing packs I want to show you later in the week though. Hopefully I can squeeze in a post Thursday and if not I'll make up for it this weekend.

Remember if you want to try and get these cards in a future contest you must try to join my world community grid team.

First download the program. It should install by itself. Remember as you run this on your computer you are helping find cures for human diseases.

8 Packs Of New Phyrexia And 8 Packs Of 2013 Magic The Gathering Core Set Booster Packs I'm Adding To The Treasure Chest

Today we have eight packs of New Phyrexia and eight booster packs of 2013 core set. Yes, I know I am a little crazy but I have decided to put all my loose magic the gathering booster packs into the treasure chest. That means you can probably expect at least another 10 blog posts about MTG packs this month. The good news is that these are mostly older packs and some might be more than 10 years old and contain high value cards. The bad news is that in most cases I only have two or three packs from each series. Still, you will see lots of great magic booster packs that you will be longing for. I hope to titillate you into joining my world community grid team so you will start completing work units and be ready for my future contests. I also have more than enough sealed booster boxes and unopened deck packs that I can use for main contest prizes so keep visiting this blog daily or at least weekly for new updates.

Have you noticed that my scans look funny? I think it's because I'm left handed so I started facing the cards in the other direction. Do they look a little better? The background is black because I don't like closing the lid and taking a chance of slightly bending or edging the cards. I am one of those mint condition card freaks that always eyes your cards for fifteen minutes before I agree to a trade at a tournament. It's hilarious to watch I'm told. Probably because I'm almost blind and I like to use a mini magnifier glass to check out the condition of the cards before I buy or trade them. Maybe one day I will film this process and it will become comedy gold for the YouTube magic the gathering community.

Anyway I know somebody out there is looking at these booster packs with envious eyes so why the heck aren't you guys joining my world community grid team? It's super easy and you might even end up helping cure a disease or something. I know I tend to babble on a lot but I think in the long run that will just be good for search engine traffic. When I'm in contest mode I will be much more specific in the way I explain things.
