Due to the responce from Round #3. I had a lot of people asking if they could trade for individual cards out of the lot, but did not want to bid on the lot as a whole.

So, what I am starting this weekend, is I am going to be attending the Twin Ports Gaming Convention in Duluth, Minnesota and I will be taking offers for trades on the individual cards.

At the convention I got a trade for Vamperic Tutor for the Platinum Angel from Tony G.

I will be taking all offers on MOTL. Offers can still be made on individual cards and for the lot as a whole on there.

Hello Everyone, welcome to OneBasicForest.

I am not sure if anyone knows of the story of the one red paperclip. It is a guy that is trading up from one red paperclip to get a house, and he is almost there.

Well this has inspired me...

I am going to attempt to trade up from a Magic:The Gathering 4th edition basic forest, up to a Magic:The Gathering Alpha/Beta Black Lotus.

Taking prices from www.starcitygames.com, the basic forest is currently worth $.25 and the Black Lotus is currently worth $2000. So you can see I am not trying to trade up along the same scale as the guy from One Red Paperclip.

Why?

Well, it's not because of money. It'll be out of fun and generosity. It'll be fun to see people helping me reach my goal. Once I reach that goal. I am going to sell the card on eBay and donate all of the money to St. Jude Children's Hospital

So up first for trade is one Magic:The Gathering 4th Edition basic forest. Please email me the offers along with scans or description of the card(s) to onebasicforest@gmail.com

I will post the offers below as they come in. Offers on the basic forest will end on 6/30/2006 at 5:00 CST.

Edit: I was asked about which forest it is out of the set and it's condition. The forest is Forest (A) from 4th edition (link) by Christopher Rush, and it is in near mint condition. I will send it in a sleeve and a hardcase.

Thanks,
Jayson Saumer
