Kahns planeswalkers

Like many I've busted ALOT of Kahns already and plan on at least another 5-6 boxes. I've pulled quite a few Sorin, Solemn Visitor and Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker. I've recently gotten back into mtg after about 12 years and Planeswalkers are pretty new to me. Do I hang onto a good amount of one or both,, or should I dump them before rotation? I guess my main question is will they both end up as $8 cards in the end?

Neither is seeing a lot of play outside of standard. They will probably drop and stick around the $12 range or so once they rotate out, and will also likely decrease in value once more good stuff from Fate Reforged comes out. I would trade or sell now while you have the chance

khans doesn't rotate for another 500 or so days, so you have some time to think about it.
if you're referring to the next rotation (fall 2015, theros block and m15 rotate out, still roughly 320 days away), then i don't think it makes much sense to dump planeswalkers before that rotation, as they might still be playable/more playable/the best planeswalker options for fall of 2015 standard.
as an example, see the chart of elspeth from theros. she was super high during theros release, dropped, and then climbed again once khans came out. your planeswalkers might be at an all time high, but the high price might be falling fast.
in the end, i don't think either will see eternal play. after rotation in 1.5 years they won't be worth much, but there might still be some wiggle room for their prices while they are in standard. also, you might want to keep some to, you know, play magic with them. :)

I say sell now... Prices are already stabilizing but PW prices always seem to lag. Nissa, Worldwaker finally decided to start dropping just recently.

Dump before rotation. I see neither sticking around for the other formats.
