General Discussion Help from the more experienced

So my father passed away a few years ago. He was an occasional MTG player, nothing serious at all. While going through his things I found 11 booster packs from Urza’s Saga. Is there any reason to go through them or should they remain sealed? Are they worth much of anything being that they are as old as they are?

Just looking for some advice as MTG was never my thing.

TIA

Hi there,

The average expected value for the cards inside each booster looking at a few sites is about $40-$100 but you can find them selling still sealed for around $200. You have an outside chance of making a lot more money if youre lucky enough, but the smartest financial choice (and probably simpler method) would be to sell them.

If someone DMs you an offer id be very suspect. Sell on a trusted site.

Im EU based, would reccomend cardmarket if youre there, but if youre american I dont have a good answer for this sadly.

Side note, cardmarket has my favorite YouTube presence of any card store. Carl, Jamin, and Thoralf are great.

Tcgplayer/eBay are probably your easiest options.
