People freaking out over a white border Black Lotus being bent, lol.

Couldn't one say the same thing about the Mona Lisa?
Sure, collecting isn't for everyone, but, I don't see what's so hard to understand about it.

Oddly enough I was looking at this card 2 or so days ago and here it is...on NeoGAF.
Interesting. I have an Ancestral Recall sitting in a drawer somewhere at my mom's place.

Wow so Pokemon cards are more valueable than M:tg cards? I mean the most valuable Mtg card is only worth a few thousand (that Black lotus that's getting bent in the one pic). $100k is a bit much for this card but it's been sold for $10-20k before.

You can't really print the Mona Lisa. You could try re-painting it but it would lack the passion the original artist had for it.
six of them versus a few thousand

I remember I got a Charizard card in an ordinary pack of Pokemon cards as a kid. It was like the childhood version of winning the lottery. Still have it in mint condition, but too afraid to sell it on eBay.

And "the passion the original artist had for it" makes it beyond price?
Yes, I realize the value of the Mona Lisa, it's not like I'm casting off da Vinci or something, but, the point is, that matters to some people, and doesn't to others. People pay for what matters to them.
I remember those cards being sold at hobby shops for about 40-70 dollars. I had several of them but only because I knew someone who could order me a entire box of pokemon cards at wholesale price. Everyone at school was more impressed with my Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno.

Pretty surprised this is actually up for sale. I think there's only like 5 of them in existence or something like that.
That feel of not being rich. I'd buy it and keep it on a work desk or something. That's a hell of a conversation piece.
"Oh, is that a Pokemon card? I used to love Pokemon!"
"Uh excuse me sir. This is a very rare card. It's worth more than what you earn in a year!"
*your patron walks out*
*you pick up the card and whisper to it "soooonnn"

I wish I was anywhere near my MtG cards so I could test, but I'm pretty sure the cards don't exactly like being bent like that. Resulting in cards being all kinds of crooked and bent.
Don't know about the way old, ye olde if you might, cards react. I only started playing when Revised was around and only did play until Ice Age. Or rather, I collected cards, not really played them.
That picture is pretty much perfect for 'some men just want to watch the world burn' caption

Yup, fakes don't bend the same way genuine cards do.

I'll just leave this here:
That's the only way to tell if the card was a real or a fake back in the day.

bad gameplay lol
I'll just leave this here:
If I had to guess, I'd say that's maybe a foreign language reprint? They're still expensive, but not insanely so like the Alpha/Beta versions.

There are no foreign black lotus. It's unlimited. They used to bend cards back in the day because there was a huge card forgery ring for black lotus and moxes and the only way to tell the difference was to bend it. The quality of the fakes caused it to crease easily.
Kind of sucks that the only way to check authenticity is to permanently damage the card =(.
