Foil Stoke the Flames: Sell/Trade?

Economics forum

So I busted open a foil Stoke the Flames today. I know it's a chase uncommon in Standard these days that floats around $5-6. The foil is around $13-15, depending upon where you look.

I assume it will go way down once it rotates. Or am I missing something? Is it seeing play in Modern at all? I don't believe so, but I could be incorrect.

If it's going to plummet after rotation, I'm better off trading it away before that happens. Or at least I think. Thoughts?

I do not believe it is seeing any play outside of standard. I would try to sell/trade it off now before the December FNM promo comes out.

I'd say ditch it. Short shelf life, not really seeing much play out of standard, 5 bucks for an uncommon is silly. ESP from a core set.

Yeah safe to move it. More then likely at its peak right now. At least for the short to mid term. It may go higher in a few years time but that would be some substantial holding for a maybe

Ah, I didn't realize it was getting a promo soon. Time to ditch it!
