Economics forum
Posted on March 29, 2015, 3:24 a.m. by thebdizzle
Just for fun, what cards do you own that are valuable?
I am interested in what your top 5 cards are value wise, based on TCG Player Mid...
Mine are -
Bayou (Revised) $155.25
Force of Will $110
Rishadan Port $99.24 (only one that I actually pulled from a pack, while Masques was "standard")
Jace, the Mind Sculptor (Worldwake) $93.49
Liliana of the Veil $90.00
Total value: $547.98
If you have any cool stories about how they became yours, feel free to share.
My Top 5 cards off the top of my head would be 1.
Tundra Revised $200
Savannah Revised $80
Tolarian Academy $90? This one is Korean pretty rare i am not sure how much it is worth
I may have something that is worth more but i can't think of anything off the top of my head.
what do you guys think a Korean Tolarian Academy is worth?

zyphermage I know her english price foil is about $100 but I have yet to see a Avacyn, Angel of Hope
sell or go for under $250, and most card shops I ask usually tell me $200+ but I wont ever sell it anyways.
Heres one that sold on ebay $250, and one is up currently for $300

Maybe I should've gotten more foils in german when I was over there. I traded most away but I kept my fnm emrakul I got. Maybe it's worth $400 that would be nice.

Poptartz95 says... #7
Ya zyphermage honestly though I believe with German/Russian foils you cant have a set price tbh, cause its incredibly hard to find anyone who has actually had one or sold one? I mean theres one sold on ebay, 1 is up currently, TCG shit if I see one on TCG dibs I am buying, and I go to channelfireball (i live sort of close) and they havent seen a german, so imo i think it comes down to if I ever decide to sell it or trade it, the value depends on how bad the person wants it, and is willing to fork out for it haha
March 29, 2015 8:21 p.m.
cactusjones247 I really don't know where those prices came from, but a Dack Fayden F is $289, Grove of the Burnwillows is $37, Marsh Flats is $27, and Domri Rade F is $250?

cactusjones247 Whoa whoa whoa back up a sec. THREE THOUSAND FOR A PLANESWALKER?? Dack goes for 300 max in foil, not 3000.
March 29, 2015 8:36 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #10
I think you added an extra digit at the end of each one...

SimicPower Haha I hope so. Whoever bought a Dack for 3k got seriously ripped off :)

I bet you live in a slum.

My top 5 list is kind of boring, but it's very useful. A few years ago I finished a collection of duals/shocks/fetches so my friends and I would have access to them for competitive decks we built. This was before the duals started going crazy for whatever reason.
TCG Mids (each):
2x Underground Sea Unlimited - $412.55
1x Volcanic Island Unlimited - $427.47
1x Tropical Island Unlimited - $292.47
2x Underground Sea Revised - $281.74
3x Volcanic Island Revised - $274.30
I used to have a Player Rewards Wasteland, but I took it to a dealer right after it hit $400 out of nowhere and used the trade credit to finish my fetchland collection. One of the best trades I ever made.
March 31, 2015 9:35 a.m.
- The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale Italian Legends - $700
- Volcanic Island revised - $275
- Mana Drain Legends - $210
- Mana Crypt Judge promo - $210
- Tundra - $200
Some honorary mentions:
Nine MPS Islands worth ~$30 each, and 6 Mountains of the same clan at ~$20. (So 15 basic lands worth $390)
- Mana Crypt Media Promo - $170
- Gaea's Cradle - $160
- Wheel of Fortune Judge promo - $120
- Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind GP promo - $120
- Karn Liberated NPH - $100
- Time Stop - $77
- Scalding Tarn - $166
Got several other foils, forces, and ABU duals as well but I already went far past my 5 card limit!
March 31, 2015 3:29 p.m.
@Sleazebag: Okay, I'm officially jelly. I had no idea those Islands existed. Just looked them up on Google. Those are sick.

Justin_Bop says... #23
I cri eri tim...
1x Foil Wooded Foothills
1x Thoughtseize
2x Goblin Guide
1x Chrome Mox
All mint condition. I have a foil Birthing Pod... But you know... Th day I get it of course it gets freakin' BANNED!! If I had some of the cards you guys had, I would be so happy I would sell them and pay for some of college or give some money to charity.
March 31, 2015 7:12 p.m.
sylvannos: You have no idea, I discovered them only a few months back myself and since I had a pimped out Niv-Mizzet EDH deck I just HAD to get my hands on them. Nothing cooler than having foil lands with your guild symbol on them! Deck here: Pimp-Mizzet, the $$$mind
They exist for every single clan too! If you have a two color EDH deck that you want to pimp, nothing beats this.
They are called Japanese MPS Promos.
March 31, 2015 7:24 p.m.
@Sleazebag: I noticed that when I was looking at them at Channel Fireball that there was a pair for each guild. Ravnica lands were some of my favorites.
March 31, 2015 7:39 p.m.
can't narrow down the most valuable to me since I will never sell, but I have a collector's edition with intact power nine cards. Bought decades ago at retail despite the box being opened and never regretted it since the cards were there for the most part.
March 31, 2015 10:52 p.m.
I'm surprised no one has any power! So here are mine:
Black Lotus Unl NM around 5500$-6000$
Mox Sapphire Unl NM around 1500$
Ancestral Recall Unl HP around 1300$
Mox Emerald Unl NM around 1200$
Mox Ruby Unl NM around 1200$
I've been a collector for 20 years now, I have a full nm set of Arabian nights, Antiquities, working on my Legends set I do not play much anymore, but I speculate a lot on cards
April 1, 2015 1:55 p.m.
XelfMedia mind giving me 1? I have literally nothing of value. I'll name the ones I can think of off the top of my head though.
1.) Flooded Strand 79.99
2.) Linvala, Keeper of Silence 39.35
3.) Verdant Catacombs 29.99
4.) Pact of Negation 23.15
5.) Khalni Hydra 24.99
Total: 197.47
Note I have a lot of other valuable cards around this price, but nothing else near 80 bucks.
This is all I can think of right now. You guys make me sad. I'm poor in terms of magic I guess. ) :
April 1, 2015 3:42 p.m.
Oops edit--Khalni Hydra's foil. It wouldn't be worth that much otherwise.
April 1, 2015 3:46 p.m.
and a shitload of the original dual lands from unlimited and revised.
All from my first era of MtG.
Those days feel romantic now :-)
April 1, 2015 4:42 p.m.
@XelfMedia: Please tell me you play competitive Vintage and don't just have those sitting around. :(
April 1, 2015 7:34 p.m.
sylvannos: I'd totally have them sitting around and not wear them out with play.
There might not even be a vintage scene locally. I mean, there PROBABLY isn't one.

@sylvannos No, I lend them to good friends for some vintage tournaments, but I dont play anymore, (just some fun vintage kitchen Magic)
April 2, 2015 7:31 p.m.
Just looking through my collection, this makes me feel cheap.
April 2, 2015 10:33 p.m.
Polluted Delta Foil Russian. You know couple of grand or so when I opened it. Price varies also looking to get rid of it.
April 14, 2015 8:10 p.m.

I don't have a whole lot of very valuable cards, I mostly just have playsets of $20-30 cards for my better decks. I actually sold a Wasteland that I pulled from a Tempest starter box back in the day, and before I got the Vendilion Clique, that was by far my most valuable card. Here's what I DO still have:
Morningtide Vendilion Clique: $75 (got this one for free from a coworker! :D)
Sliver Legion: $50
Mox Opal: About $40 (it's a little beat up, I'll be buying a playset of these in NM/M for my Affinity deck soon)
FtV: Relics AEther Vial: $30 (I have 2 of these)
Iona, Shield of Emeria: $29
I went off of SCG's prices for these, so they may be way off from what you have paid or would pay for them.

April 16, 2015 11:26 a.m.

April 18, 2015 2:30 a.m.
Vayl: I'm sorry but a foil Blood Tyrant in korean is $30 at most. The japanese foils go for $20-25.
April 18, 2015 3:13 a.m.
Sleazebag :( all the ones i have seen on ebay have sold for 90
