Glad I'm good on that collector bug. Reading a shitstorm on the fb collector group with people griping at one another since the buy price has changed.

It is getting rather heated on there. I'm curious if the rest of the 9 will be on the move as well. Would be annoying, I still need Moxen.

Oh, the regrets of not buying them 20 years ago.

I believe so; I remember while I was selling a large portion a few months back, the guy was telling me how excited he was to trade a legacy deck for a P9 piece..

I think 2 legacy decks will be my final count. Will be able to buy child slaves at the prices of current P9

{Titania, Protector of Argoth} almost $10. Green commander deck is avg over MSRP now.

Won't rise for awhile now. And tbh I'm having my doubts about them like everyone I talk to has saved a playset of them (myself included) so if this is the case will they ever rise to above $15?

I'm glad I'm not the only one questioning this haha, I also have a playset of each shock and always hear "hold onto them they'll be worth so much down the road" but really.. If they hit ~15 each in two years.. The opportunity cost of cashing in the ~400 in cards for things I'd actually be using is making it hard to justify holding onto them for a small profit. I was actually thinking about converting my whole shock collection into steam vents since they see the most play haha.

This^ if I didn't play so much modern I'd trade in my shocks already

Think of it this way:
Dual lands were about $20 20 years ago.

You have no idea how the game will evolve and change in 20 years.
