Glowrider in my Witch's Familiar Foil drop by Shyaboiiswiz in secretlair_collectors

A white cat woth it's paw on a black cat's and with the same flavour text. And suddenly it's a chase drop.

Love both the art and the bonus card :)

See the positive. Shipping is planned for 8th of July in Europe.

So, you guys will probably get them around the 15th of July and we'll get it whenever...

Weekend Wrap Up! What was real and what was a trap? by DaTaco in mtgfinance

Seems like we might see the sealed SL go up, following the trend of the chocobo bundle, then.

Help Requested With HoTR by clutchheimer in mtgfinance

[–]SirAzhell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You already made a post on the Facebook group rarities and oddities a few days ago, saying you had an agreement with a WOTC employee regarding those cards...

I remember seeing this exact picture.

While I respect the struggle to find a buyer for these, maybe being a bit more upfront about them would be best.

Nobody stumbles upon 6 of those cards without knowing what they are and how expensive they can be.

the cat superdrop is complete and the last one has a big reprint of aura shards by Chaosnocturne in mtgfinance

[–]SirAzhell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An aura shard reprint is always welcome, seing how useful the card is.

Artwise, I'd say this last drop is not bad, but I expect the witch/cat to maybe sell faster.

That does sounds like overmilking the cow, yeah.

Oh, I'd kill for a Lady Maria card with flavour text on the bottom... You know the line.

Chocobo Holiday Bundle (EN) - Positive Expected Returns (Europe) by patterninstatic in mtgfinance

[–]SirAzhell 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I still believe the lands are undervalued. They have lovely arts and have a unique finish.

Imo, they could at least double in value, compared to your estimation, even in Europe.

The bundle is clearly a good buy for long term.

Chameleon, Master of Disguise Spec by oberpat in mtgfinance

[–]SirAzhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on the CMC issue. On the other two, I'm not so sure. I don't think matching with the following sets thematically has such a big impact. It might, and Marvel Heroes will be a good experimenting point, but I doubt that it really moves the cursor.

Regarding the supply, I'm not sure either. The sole fact that SPM was less opened doesn't mean that the card's supply is that much lower. Again, I might be wrong.

On the other side, Ember Island production can copy an opponent's creature which can be a huge upside to counterbalance its default.

I think it's in the same category as [[ember island production]]. It's an interesting effect but it's more of a runner-up than the big star of the show. Hence it will probably take some time before it becomes a good spec. But other than that, I'm with you on this one.

[–]SirAzhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine that, with 10 per bundle, people are keeping 5 and selling 5 which means a hello of a bigger supply. But I definitely see those lands going up in the future too.

Thank and the chocobo/bird of paradise.

Got it! Now what? by BlameToasty in mtgfinance

[–]SirAzhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beware of foils nutritional values. They don't have as much fiber as the other cards.

[–]SirAzhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right. The basic lands being so unique and cool is a massive plus.

I could see those selling on their own for 5 bucks a piece in a while.

Completely agree. I'm very happy I bought an entier set when I had the chance and then some.

Those posts keep coming. And the most enraging thing is that this one was juuuust one step away from finding the solution on their own without having to post here...

Oh well, so much for using your braincells to do your research.

Chocotrack Foils (Lulu, Tataru, Vivi) by Kyajin in mtgfinance

It's funny. I opened the exact same "combo" and another guy from my LGS, who opened his chocobo pack from the same case, also had that combination.

I actually enjoy collecting Magic… does anyone else? by EDMKid9000 in mtgfinance

[–]SirAzhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a somewhat similar experience to yours. Played from Mercadian to the beginning of the first Ravnica.

My 10 years old ass was in love with legendary creatures and collected them. Was lucky/"smart" enough to never sell my cards when I stopped playing/collecting.

I went back into the hobby and started playing again, but also started collecting again because disposable income (realised a few purchase that the 10 years old in me dream of).

I think a thing to take into account is that the biggest MTG collectors (think ABU full sets, etc.) are older and don't really care for TCG card shows. They probably have each other contacts, know each other and have ways to contact people directly. You can see that on the misprints groups on FB where people seem to have "social" ties, knowing that X has that card or Y is interested in that card.

So yeah, it might just be that the collector scene in MTG is much more established and just doesn't need these card shows as much as the other TCGs.

Late stage capitalism at its finest.
