The Q&A handles questions about game rules. Moved to TappedOut forum.
Those numbers aren't all prices. In the Cards tab, each set has columns for price, avg. draft, and avg. cube.
Price is the average price of the card according to TCGplayer.com, which draws pricing data from many online stores.
Avg. draft represents the average draft pick on which a card is picked during a draft. For example, a card with an average draft figure of 5.00 is drafted, on average, during the fifth pick of a pack.
Avg. cube is like avg. draft, but it represents the draft pick on which a card is picked during a cube draft. A cube is a custom-assembled "set" of cards that you use in place of an actual set when drafting.

The Q+A forums is for technical rules questions, rather than general Magic or TappedOut questions. Try to use the general or TappedOut forums in the future.
A "draft/cube" price is the average order in which a card will be picked from a booster draft. The higher the number, the more it will be picked quicker, and generally the better card it is in limited format.
A card price is how much you can expect to pay for a copy of the paper card from a vendor online. It's not a hard-and-fast rule, but it's usually in the ball-park of the value of the card.
