Well, as I'm getting around to buying a Black-bordered {Verduran Enchantress} (Meaning, Beta), I find out that they've jumped from 40 to 70 for literally no reason.  Pretty sure legacy enchantress has never played it, and casual enchantress players have fifty million white-bordered versions that cost less than a dollar.  Looking at the graph, about two months ago, it just randomly jumped up.  Last time I had checked was right before the BNG release, where it was about 40.  Also, about the same time, Alphas jumped from 75 to 200.  What the heck, man.

Also stuff from Alpha/Beta is usually higher priced than everything else. Like a {Goblin King from Alpha is 200 dollars and the one I have is 3. It's mostly because they're rare versions of the card so they don't have a lot

Also they are rare. A lot of alpha/beta cards were probably misused/mistreated in the beginning of the game, and probably destroyed as a result. Or lost

EDH players?

I would think that would cause the foil 7th to skyrocket, though. More than $8, anyway.

I would guess someone bought one and the new average increases with less supply.

8th and 9th foils are also black bordered 😉
Just in case the older ones are a little too spensive.

Mono black is worth squat.  Even losing money on shipping, to match the low, I'd have to charge $0.00 for most of the deck.  :P. So much for selling on tcg player.

Does anyone want most of mono black?
I play a lot of mono black.

{sensei's divining top} up about ten since i bought a few a month ago.
