Hi, I don't understand why this remastered set drop price comparing to Time Spiral remastered or even Ravnica Remastered. I found the draft and collector booster pretty cheap in contrast with the other two remastered sets.

The Ixalan precon Veloci-ramp-tor Was just over $100 a few days ago and just dropped to $80. What did I miss?

Is anyone else finding orders received and shipped on Black Friday are taking a long time to be delivered? I understand why, was just curious if anyone else was experiencing this. I’m a smaller/newer seller but have only had one buyer contact me about a late order before now, and I’ve had four buyers who ordered on Black Friday contact me saying their cards were not delivered yet.

Any suggestions? I’ve been responding and asking people to wait a day or two, but I’m concerned about the repercussions for something that’s completely out of my control. All of the orders that are delayed were dropped off at the post offices the same day they were ordered.

Is this due to the Trump-fueled economic optimism and the crypto boom? Based on the TCGPlayer sales data, it seems like a case of crypto investors buying collectibles to diversify their portfolios, similar to 2020-2021. The timeline seems to align. Is this just the beginning? Will we see new highs that blow 2021 out of the water if crypto's rally continues?

There are 90+ posts regarding opal, GSZ, twin, or faithless looting having huge price increases, but I'm not seeing too many regarding where people think these will actually settle at.

Twin won't stay at $30. It just won't be as good, and I don't think it was even that expensive at its peak. GSZ has tons of versions and is likely to get reprinted, so it may not get too high. The same goes for Faithless Looting.

The only card I see retaining much of the gains made yesterday is Mox Opal. It was already expensive, doesn't get reprinted very often, and has plenty of use outside of Modern.

What do you all think? Have you been selling off copies you bought in anticipation of this? When do you see things calming down?

None of the USPS competitors (Fedex, UPS, DHL) provide a low cost "send an envelope for less than a dollar" service.

UPS Surepost gets as cheap as... $12.

Currently sitting on $1400 worth of store credit at a cardshop and not sure what to get for long term hold. Leaning towards unlimited duals but want to make sure I am not over looking anything. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Unsure if anyone has access to a Japanese address or mail forwarding service but SingleStar Games has what looks to be several masters cases worth of collector boxes in English for approximately $194 USD (xe.com), which includes shipping and taxes. I've purchased here multiple times and no issue. Even got about 25 of the Cowboy Bebop/OTJ postcards from their promotion.

Obviously there's going to be a lot of movement in many card prices with the bans/unbans and I think it's a pretty safe call that fast graveyard hate like [[surgical extraction]] and to a lesser extent [[leyline of the void]] will be needed in a lot more sideboards with the faithless looting unban. I definitely think surgical has room to at least double.

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion but with yet another huge ban/unban announcement I always make my voice heard. It’s happened a couple of times now where I’ll order cards because of a banning or unbanning and my TCG Player orders get cancelled cuz they mysteriously don’t have the stock they said they did. Only 1 time has that happened where I believe the seller and I only believed them because I bought 4 brainstorms during MH3 hype and they didn’t have all 4 but still sent me one free of charge.

Please let people know what shop to NOT go to by giving these rug pullers 1-star reviews

Was this the best hold in recent history?

Even better if you managed to buy lots of the secret lairs alone at the con.

If I’m not mistaken, [[detective’s phoenix]] was a rogue deck recently in Modern before the Boros Energy dominance, which caused its price to go up a little bit to around ~$1-2. Could it go higher with the unbanning of Faithless Looting and the subsequent rise of other discard/phoenix decks?

Question is the title, has this card retained its value/are people buying it? New to selling/grading cards so any info/insight is appreciated.

There’s only 1 left on TCGplayer as of now listed at 450. One already sold for 500 earlier.

How do we feel about this vs invention scarcity wise?

Wow, people were either quick or a lot of bots just bought everything in all languages.

Did not see this coming

It's over.

What happened over the weekend and what do you think about it? Was it just hype? What it a real change? What do you think will happen going forward? Also feel free to use this space to discuss anything MTG Finance related.

Personally picked up a few cards banned in commander that I think will be unbanned.

My top 3

Braids, Cabal Minion Gifts Ungiven And Golos, Tireless Pilgrim

Did you pick up any cards? Mass sell any in fear of bans?

Not trolling I swear, I know I can look this up instead of making a post about it but Im too lazy.
