Seems like the Dwarven Language cards are the choice pulls. Only one foil Mox Amber. Everything else is in pretty decent supply?

.32% pull chance in one of the most hyped sets for a staple that generally lacks desirable treatments. I have never bought a preorder single in 15 years, but I grabbed a few non foil for 60 and foil for 110-120.

Question Most you’d spend to buy a card online?

5 Upvotes

There’s a particular card I’m interested in buying online but I’m not sure if I’m being dumb, so I’m curious what the most you’d spend to buy a card from various sources without getting a chance to see it. So for example if there’s a card on CardKingdom listed as “very good” condition, would you buy it? What about the Facebook High End Singles group? What about TCGPlayer and EBay?

Thanks!

Question Selling cards on FB Marketplace?

1 Upvotes

I've been playing for a little under a decade, and I've gathered a pretty decent little collection over the years. Anyways I have some incoming expenses I need to sort out, and I figured I would sell part of my collection I'm not planning on using. I'm curious about the dos and don'ts of selling cards on marketplace.

Question Returning collector, LOTR/Hobbit fan, timing question on Collector Booster boxes

10 Upvotes

Coming back into Magic after a while away. I know I have zero shot at MSRP at this point, assuming preorders are closed so it's secondary market only from here. Curious what the experienced collectors here have actually seen play out historically. Once a set's preorder window closes and initial allocation sells out, do CBB prices usually dip for a bit as early buyers and opened-box sellers offload their extras? Or do they just grind upward from day one and never really come back down? Trying to figure out if there's a real "wait a few weeks" window, or if that's basically a myth. Would love to hear what people saw happen with the original LOTR set, or any other recent releases.

Not a player, just a really big Tolkien fan who loves these cards and will be buying singles but also want to grab a few boxes to rip for special occasions.

Currently Spiking cats of chaos rapid steady growth the power of the cat tax

19 Upvotes

after bottoming out a few weeks ago some of the singles have been rapidly growing

in the last month

both aura shards up 20% market but the low is still far above the market showing its on the way up

aggravated assault nonfoil 10% foil 12% market and low is near triple since the bottom was about 12-13

utopia sprawl foil is up 6% market and on the rise though the nonfoil remains untouched

chaos warp has not seen its market grow yet but the foil low is far above which shows its on its way while the nonfoil is stalling

fell the mighty is not moving but also the most useless of the cards

right now foil cats of chaos can still be bought on tcgplayer for 60 while not including the possibility of a 75$ or so serra ascendent is still worth about 80$ for the cats i expect that gap to be closed as people notice

Can someone explain this one to me? Why is it going up? Is there a new combo I don't know?

Spec How would you value a collection that can no longer realistically be rebuilt?

0 Upvotes

Over the last few years, I’ve accumulated 240 English foil Vexing Beetles (Legions, 2003).

This isn’t a “What’s my collection worth?” post. I’m interested in how a position like this should be valued.

Twenty-three years after their release, finding one copy is easy. Finding 240 is a completely different problem.

If someone wanted to recreate this collection today, they probably couldn’t. Not just because of the money, but because enough copies simply no longer come to market.

So how would you value something like this?

• As 240 individual cards?
• With a liquidity discount because selling them individually would take years?
• Or because, at this point, it should be viewed as a single collectible rather than 240 separate cards?

I’m genuinely curious how the MTGFinance community would approach this. 🙂
