Yeah, several of the old cards go for $100s.

Its actually pretty easy to tell the difference between Alpha, Beta and Revised. Alpha have the more rounded corners with a black boarders and due to the boarder difference, until card protectors came out could not be used with the other editions in tournament play because they were shaped differently. Beta had the same black boarder but went to the standardized shape. Revised kept the same shape but lost the black boarder and went to a white one. Fourth Edition followed with white boarders and better printing making the cards more aesthetically pleasing but it lost all of the rare and powerful cards that existed in the previous editions.
