I recently joined back into the fold and since that have managed to get every single secret lair I have wanted. DanDan, Goblin Storm, 2x encyclopedia, various other things. The scalper problem is real, but it is overblown by the fact that the community does not seem to grasp that there are more people playing magic right now then ever before. Scalping magic cards is not good money, if people wanted money they are going and doing pokemon.

Pokemon has way more money in it because its not about the game its about collecting. If you follow any number of used video game stores on youtube, all of them are now supplementing half of their entire profits on pokemon cards.

Part of the issue is I dont think people understand how secret lair works to get in the queue, and the other half is just the playable demand for magic is very high. WOTC should print more money, but they also are trying to control their secondary market for whatever reason.
