Thoughts on Bob getting reprinted in MM2/Price of other cards after MM2
Economics forum

I purchased a playset of MMA Bob a few months ago for $256 on eBay, and right now MMA Bob playsets are going for $320 on eBay. I am a couple hundred dollars off of a playset of Tarmogoyf and selling Bob would put me into range... But if Bob doesn't get reprinted then he'll go far.
I also am thinking of grabbing a second playset of Snapcaster Mage; I already have a set but I'm afraid that Snappy has already hit the ceiling at his current price. I have a playset of each of these: Voice of Resurgence, Cavern of Souls, and Geist of Saint Traft. I'm holding onto these until MM2 comes out. I also have a pair of foil Summoner's Pact which I nearly sold to CFB when they were $7-8 but CFB didn't want them, which ended up a win for me. How much would the estimate of 4x VoR, 4x CoS and 4x GoST be at their highest around MM2 release?
I know Innistrad cards aren't going to get the reprint, but MM2 will bring more people into Modern and therefore they will rise. My question is how much you think it will go?

I doubt bob will be in MMA2. He hasn't really gone up, and no one is running him nowadays.

I would actually say the chances of any card with alternate art from the original MMA is quite likely to be reprinted. frankly, speculation doesn't mean shit in the end. we literally just have to wait for spoilers. And Bob isn't going to go down because of MM2, I can almost guarantee that.
as for your Playsets, Geist is the only card I would expect to go up. CoS and VoR are both niche cards in tier decks, but they aren't vital, and are literally played in just those decks. Geist sees play in multiple modern, legacy, vintage, and even tiny leaders decks. He's the card to keep and keep an eye on.

GoofyFoot He sees vintage and Legacy play? He's also great in duel commander.

I personally feel like investing in a 2nd set of Snapcasters isn't the worst idea ever. People know that they won't be seeing a reprint in a MM set for a while, and it's a very staple-y card. It has the chance to go up or remain the same, depending on how well it performs in Modern and Legacy. Voice and Cavern will see slow growth over time (barring a random reprint), but as for how much they're worth in a few months they're likely to remain the same as what they are now.

Probably at about what they are now since I believe it has been confirmed Innistrad cards would not be printed in MM2
