Price Jumps and Drops

[LinkCelestrial]

Can anyone tell my why  {Anticipate} Is a .49 common but the foil is $14.99 at starcity?

Because people are willing to spend too much money on cards. Why would you play with a normal when you can afford a foil? So much cooler looking.

IMO it's not worth the exponential increase in price.

Anticipate is one of the best cards in DTK by far. It's the Treasure Cruise of DTK (except it'll only see Modern play) but basically every standard deck with {U} will run it as a 2-4 of

will {Tarmagoyf}'s price stay the same, drop, or raise with MMA 2015 and if Karn is in it how will his price be affected?

Since mm2 announced it had goyf:

Dropped immediately to 167 (Low value) mid dropped $10 to $200.


So It could go back up.

I need two more as many more people do for modern and Lego.

It'll be hilarious how many people drop GPLv if they pull a goyf in the sealed pool.
If I get one, you sure as hell bet I'm gonna drop

How come?

Then you keep your Goyf and have time for side events

[Remillo]

How come?

In Competitive Sealed events, you do something called a Pool Swap, where you register the contents of the packs you open, then ship them to someone else for building.  However, if you drop before the swap happens, you simply keep the product that's in front of you.

Can you elaborate on this please? Maybe I'm too drunk, but that's confusing. If you register what you open, but ship it away, what do you play with?

I got you. During competitive sealed events such as Gplv everyone opens up their packs that they are handed and records every card on a piece of paper with the quantity of each card. After that's written down you ship it away at the judges discression. For me it was pass right twice then across. You look at your new contents and that's what you get for the tournament.

This is done to help prevent cheating where if you get deck checked your content was verified by someone else. If you pull something crazy such as a foil goyf or just want to keep the packs you record you may drop from the tournament before passing.

Which is what ill do, I won't even let them stamp it.

[Dsx Cherno]

That's dumb.

[MuggyWuggy]

It prevents cheating and if I pay $75 for a sealed, I definitely don't mind enjoying the GPs side events and Vegas also if I pull a goyf. Rather not spend or trade for another 2

Absolutely. Do the side events usually cost money to enter?

[MuggyWuggy]

They do BUT: bring your collection you want to trade off, GPLA was Profit letting them go through my binders. Traded standard items and conspiracy foils for a future sight tarm, jace guild pact foil and some other good stuff

Most "vendors" prefer low value rares
5-10 is the sweet spot range as far as selling cards go.
I know this one store in NY that would give me face value in trade for my decent rares
ie: downfall, courser etc...
Managed to get a playset of goyfs this way before I had to sell them
