So nice of Charlie, a famous Hunger Games actor, to help them out like that.
Buy the lotus, Charlie. You know you want to, Charlie. It's looking at you, Charlie. You already have a story with it, Charlie. Buy it. Why don't you buy it? Just... Buy it.
After the grading, I was expecting Charlie to pull out a briefcase full of money for the Black Lotus. Sliding it across the table like Seto Kaiba trying to acquire the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
I like how in the thumbnail he’s wearing a white shirt, but in the actual video he’s wearing a black shirt. Really phenomenal bait and switch there, a twist nobody was expecting
Helping them out just to take part is based and card-pilled
Alternative title: jesus helps a couple sell magic the gathering cards
I'm just imagining that customs agent watching this like "no...way..."
I am the "really well known vendor" from Australia mentioned in this video who first authenticated these cards. I have documented the original meet up with photos to prove that they sat raw in old 9 pocket binder pages in a rusty ring binder! It's cool to see this finally happen, you guys are great and I'm so glad these were finally able to be graded! Also sorry Dana, Tyler and Liam (not shown in video but mentioned) for having to remove the cards from clean sleeves and top loaders so you could make these as "decks" through customs 😂 That's a lot of extra work! 🙏 8.5 on the lotus is amazing! I really hope this sets you guys up for life!
Great to see some regular, down to earth people getting a great break
I'm thinking Charlie did buy the Lotus, but doesn't want the whole world to know he's got it. Which would be smart.
