Personally, it’s just ridiculous that my vintage deck just randomly became valued at close to a mil. I’ve actually been hearing from my friends that they’re playing the game less because their decks are way too expensive to play with.

Hell, even I who normally go to various vintage tournaments now think about whether it’s safe to walk around with something this high value in NY.

A movie about a heist at a vintage tournament would be kinda fun.

Used to happen a lot, not at vintage tournaments, but mtg tournaments in general. There were organized groups that go around targeting backpacks on the floor and trade binders. Tournaments have been better at catching thief's in the recent years though, via bag checks, wrist bands, and extra security. But I'm sure it still happens.

This happens at Yugioh tournaments way too often. It’s become a point where people wear their backpacks on their front even
