bury the year Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 At least he didn't get killed over it. Happened a year or so ago over a guy's Magic collection. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2014/02/florida_man_murder_magic_gathering_cards_william_cormier.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 The things people do to get their hands on trading cards...seriously. Thankfully, he's okay and didn't lose his life over them. Given he went to tournaments, we can assume that he had a couple metagame deck or otherwise cards that we'd probably kill to get (well, this is probably the case if it's worth $10K). Looking at his remaining binder, he still has Sylvans left (but I need to double check the value of them right now). Hopefully he can get his other cards back, but chances are that they're gone forever (as in the guys who attacked him selling them for money and other things, or yeah taking them for their own Decks). I know some guys used to rip up cards they stole in school, and toss them around the place. That, and the attackers face criminal prosecution when found. -----This is probably a note for me to actually keep tabs on MY collection (I have a few good cards here and there, but a lot of them are generally pack filler or really old).

Darjkle Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Wasn't wise of him to bring that big of card collection to a public place where people that are obsessed with the card game are , you're just asking for something to happen to em, although the weapon of choice was a little unusual, at least he wasn't stabbed or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutant Monster RAEG-HAPYP Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 This is why my personal collection of cards remain at home, no matter what. Not that i go to locals or have a reason to actually bring them with me. This does remind me of when I heard about someone being robbed at gunpoint for their cards+YouTuber SimplyUnlucky getting his entire collection stolen in a break in.

ChampionZero Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 That sheet freaks me out. How much of a monster do you have to be to beat a man and steal his prized childhood possessions for their funking monetary value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutant Monster RAEG-HAPYP Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 While I do feel bad for the guy, I also wonder if the thieves are caught, how will they respond to someone asking what they're in for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla1ne Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 this is why i hate monarchs. too many brick hands but really, people need to learn what integrity entails. it's a childrens card game, if you're willing to go to jail over this, then you need to rethink your life from the ground up..

I mean, it's money if you know where to sell this stuff. And this guy's collection was a LOT of money. Maybe not, like, bank robbery levels of money, but it's still a lot. While I agree the crime is dumb, it's more than just a children's card game with the amount of money you can make off of a crime like this. I feel bad for the dude though. I had a deck of Inzektor/some mixed Agent stuff stolen when they were still good, so while it wasn't worth nearly as much, it really does suck to lose these things. Chances are he won't get his collection back, and I know that feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪ Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 These days, people will try to cause harm to others for everything they need, including cards and other stuffs that are not essentially needed to survive in the world, either by killing or stealing.....Do not try to show off, especially in public since there's a high risk that many others will get jealous and rampage over it, but the most important thing is , do not harm others for your needs.....If the police found these criminals, make sure they get the same consequences, losing all of their cards and hopes, and a sentence in prison for twenty years.....

Since the person was beaten, it will definitely result in more time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snatch Steal Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 $3,000 to build a $10,000 collection? So either money laundering or he's psychic. 20 years for stealing YGO cards would probably be too harsh. Since the person was beaten, it will definitely result in more time, though. I doubt many people will care about the cards (except for the fact that they are really that expensive), but yeah, he got stitches from it. ...this is just me being cynical, but I wonder if there would be more of an uproar if it were something more practical? This is probably a note for me to actually keep tabs on MY collection (I have a few good cards here and there, but a lot of them are generally pack filler or really old). I might stop bringing trades to locals now, or at least for a while @_@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone was just walking home from work and got ganged up and beaten upon, and if there was video of it, I'd imagine an big uproar would happen.

Hell, replace the card collection with a few thousand worth of computer parts. It's the same crime either way so long as you know where to sell the stuff. And Magic/Yugioh/Vanguard/etc Players don't have the kind of security a computer store has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla1ne Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 i know, i get that much, it's hard to explain, but going to jail over computer parts is more "criminally acceptable" than beating up a guy for cards. both are thing's you'd regret going to jail over, but the card thief is going to be the larger target in jail. essentially, unless they've got anal targeting immunity, they're going to be the biggest prison bastards in the entire facility aside from convicted child molesters and rapists.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 tbh petty robbery is petty robbery. There would be teasing about it, of course, but this isn't middle school where you will get beat up at lunch for playing card games. Prison is a hell of a lot more civilized than you seem to be giving it credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 It's kinda up to the individual in prison. The only people who tend to get attacked and ganged up on in prison are...(Not counting racism stuff and the like)Those who are weak and aloneAnd those who did stuff to kids.Everyone else is on the same playing field of "What you do/who you talk to/how capable you are".....This is a weird discussion XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
