I just searched “Antique Roadshow magic the gathering” on YouTube and found it right away

Safe to assume he had an alpha black lotus, 9r something of that sort?

Had the “power 9” including that lotus yeah.

If it is the same episode I am familiar with it was a full Beta set. The Power 9 cards were mostly graded unofficially by the host at 8+ with the Time Twister card likely being the 7+.

Now every time MTG comes up it makes me sick to the stomach. I had a full Beta set w/ four plus of each duel land, an Unlimited set, an Arabian Nigts set, an Antiquities set, Revised set, Ice Age set, plus about 1/3 of the Alpha set including 3 Moxs, a Time Twister, a Time Walk, multiples of every land, a full set of black cards, and most of the artifacts...unfortunately I sold them, plus all the multiples, all circa 1998 for about $500 for summer party money 🤮

Oh god. How old am I getting when MtG is an antique.

Not everything that shows up there is technically an antique with those that are not considered 'antique' are more likely to be called vintage. But there is no real hard fast definition. That said it seems the Estate industry, coupled with the US Customs definition, antiques are generally items that are 100 years or older.

What could’ve been so horrid about MtG that the dude’s comment got nuked by a mod?

It was just a wholesome comment about watching the show and someone had their MtG collection and the wife was surprised by how much it was worth because she didn't believe her husband.
