Welcome to Vintagemagic.com

A MESSAGE FROM DANIEL CHANG:

I wanted to start out and thank everyone who has supported my business throughout the years. I’m blessed to be able to wake up every day and do something I’m extremely passionate about. Thank you for taking time to learn more about the vision of VintageMagic.com. I look forward to meeting you at a Magic: The Gathering event or art show in the near future!

A brief history about our business – Since entering the Magic: The Gathering industry market in 2009, our business has gone through several branding/website transformations. One of the challenges we had was branding ourselves to encompass everything there was to offer in Vintage/Legacy Magic: The Gathering formats.

As an avid collector & investor of Magic: The Gathering rarities, I noticed there was not a website in Magic that was focused in giving advice and information on collecting or investing. So in January 2013, we rebranded our businesses and began development for VintageMagic.com. The dream to develop a “one stop shop” website for everyone in the Vintage & Legacy scene has become a reality.

This introduction is only a small glimmer of what our website has to offer. Our website will be changing constantly, so please keep checking back for exciting products, content, events and much more. From all of us at VintageMagic.com, thank you for giving us the opportunity to earn your business!

 

VINTAGE MAGIC STORE

My vision for the Vintage Magic Store is to reinvent the normal MTG shopping experience. In the typical shopping experience, you have to compare pricing from multiple vendors. Also, if you’re interested in artwork, collectibles, GMTG: Graded Magic Cards, sealed product, Misprints/Oddities, you most likely had to search several more websites or forums to find what you’re looking for.

What if there was one site that had it all, and on top of that rewarded you for shopping with us?

The Vintage Magic Store is just that. As an annual member, you can save up to 12% from our already industry competitive prices. That’s right, more competitive than eBay or any other vendor on the web, you get instant savings. Now, saving money doesn’t matter if you don’t have products you want to buy. Look no more. Our selection will have all the cards players will need for their decks, but what I’m most excited about is our selection for GMTG, sealed product, Misprints/Oddities, and Original Magic Artwork & Sketches. No more searching the web for the rarest MTG collectibles, now you can buy cards for your deck and collection all in one place!

Please keep checking in daily, we are acquiring new items every day. Chances are if we are out of stock we will get it in stock in the near future. Please contact us with any specific rarities you’re looking for. We value your business and time, so thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to do business with you.

 

VINTAGE MAGIC ART GALLERY

One of my passions about Magic: The Gathering is the artwork & the artists. In 1994, during lunch time in high school, I stumbled across Magic as a group of friends were playing a card game. I immediately was drawn to images like the Vesuvan Doppelganger, Wrath of God, and Underground Sea. I asked my friends, “Why are you playing with these cards without sleeves, the art is incredible?” They looked at me and said, “Because Magic is a game, come try it out.” That day was awesome, I learned how to play, but the entire time, I was amazed by the incredible detail and creativity of the art.

My vision for the Vintage Magic Art Gallery is to share the beautiful works from Fantasy Illustrators & Artist from all over the world. Our gallery will be like a “museum” experience – each visit you will find something new & exciting to explore.

Each gallery exhibition will feature a unique story to the world of Magic. We will have themed exhibits such as “The Landscapes of Magic” & “Creatures of World of Magic” as well as featured Vintage MTG Artist such as Mark Poole, Drew Tucker & Jesper Myrfors showcasing current creations in one gallery.

The art has a very special place in my heart as I’m drawn to the beautiful works Fantasy & MTG Artists have created. I hope to meet you at a future art show or convention and learn about your passion for Fantasy & Magic: The Gathering Art!

 

VINTAGE MAGIC SERVICES

My vision for Vintage Magic Services is to offer every collector, investor and player the opportunity to have a professional experience & resource when it comes time to either buy or sell their collection. One of the things I noticed about the industry is that there is no “one stop” shop where people can work with one company on every collecting/investing need they may have. The solution was simple, to create a portfolio of services that will eliminate any challenges a client may have, so they can focus on collecting/investing/playing and let VintageMagic.com do the work.

Our services range from Consultation, Appraisal, Consignment, Deck & Set collector Fulfillment, and Artist Brokerage Services. Each service is backed by our 100%

satisfaction guarantee – if you are not satisfied in any way with our service(s) we will do everything to make it right.

I’m very proud of our services program as it really focuses on an area of Magic most clients do not consider until it’s too late. When you’re done playing, how can you use your collection as an investment platform to grow for your family & the future? I look forward to speaking to everyone in regards to their collection and helping make the right decisions in managing their collecting/investing needs.
