How My MTG Collection Got Completely Out of Control
At some point I stopped being a guy with a few Commander decks and became a collector.
What started with a handful of decks eventually turned into more than 80 Commander decks, 40 complete Magic sets, over 10,000 spindown dice, countless binders, boxes, Secret Lairs, and enough cards that organization became a project all by itself.
The funny thing is that none of it happened overnight.
In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my entire Magic collection journey. I'll talk about how it started, how it grew, the mistakes I made along the way, how I organize and track everything today, and why I'm currently making some major changes to the collection.
We'll discuss:
How my collection grew from a few decks into something much larger
The mindset that led me to build over 80 Commander decks
Why collecting complete sets became an obsession
The biggest mistakes I've made as a collector
Storage and organization systems that actually work
How I catalog and manage thousands of cards
Why I'm consolidating value into fewer elite Commander decks
The lessons I'd give anyone building a collection today
More importantly, I'll share what I've learned after years of collecting Magic: The Gathering and what I would do differently if I had to start over.
Whether you're a player, collector, investor, Commander enthusiast, or just someone who loves Magic, I think you'll find something useful in this conversation.
Let me know in the comments:
How many Commander decks do you currently own?
What's the biggest collecting mistake you've ever made?
Do you prefer a few elite decks or a large collection of decks?
