Graded Magic Cards
We just received about 10 CGC graded Magic cards. All of them are in our display case or you can see them listed in our ebay store. Grading cards is not something we normally do but these Revised dual lands and a couple of Legacy artifacts have been in the display case for quite awhile so decided to get them graded and list them in our eBay store.

Klondike Big Inch Title
We picked up these titles as part of a collection awhile back. The Klondike Big Inch Land Company deed gave the possessor "ownership" of one square inch of Klondike land. This was a promotion by Quaker Oats tied into its sponsorship of "Sargent Preston of the Yukon" in 1955. Anyone who sent in a box top from a Quaker Oats product would receive one of the above deeds. Unfortunately, the State Department determined that Quaker Oaks was engaging in the sale of foreign land without registering as an agent to do so. To avoid the registration process, the company started enclosing the deeds in packages of their products.
Since Quaker never registered the deeds, the recipients never took legal ownership of the inch of land and, when Quaker failed to keep up with property taxes on the land in the 1960s, the Canadian government repossessed the property in 1965 and the Big Inch Land Company dissolved in 1966. The land is now part of a Dawson City golf course. If you want to buy one of the ones we have in stock, here is the listing on eBay

Ravenloft
We have a collector interested in all of our out of print Ravenloft supplements so have pulled them all from our eBay store until the middle of next week. If you are interested in any of them , we will still be glad to sell them to you but you will have to contact the store instead of buying them off eBay.

Survey Response: Online Sales
Why not on our own site? Mainly because eBay has already done all of the work to set up a very efficient online sales sales system that there is no reason for us to duplicate and using eBay is more cost efficient, at our sales level, than selling through Amazon.
If you see an item we have listed on eBay and want to order it directly, just email or call the store. We will also gladly sell you items listed on eBay if you ask about them while you are in the store.
