I am not sure if this is a bug or not. He now costs $249. How can this be? I found him in a booster 2 weeks ago and he was marked as $7 or so on this website.

I realise prices fluctuate...but a 3500% price increase...

I checked Coolstuffinc.com, he's going for $2.49

It was probably a mistake done online that they fixed, you just happened to notice before they fixed it. Haha

Hah, just noticed it's 2 decimal points away. It is a mistake then. :D

And here I got all excited for nothing.

No >$10 card will ever jump by $50+. Ever.

Logic.

Unless perhaps if every copy but one of a very sought out card magically disappears. :P

@ Epochalyptik: Not long ago, Thoughtseize was ~$7, now is ~$50 ~$60! It also looks like someone cornered the marked on Daybreak Coronet recently, previously ~$4, now ~$20.

Yuck.

Thoughtseize rose through the 20s and 30s before it ever hit the price it's at now. I owned a few of them when $35 was the stable market price (a good few months).

Yeah, I guess my memory was wrong about Thoughtseize , I could've sworn it was cheaper a few months ago.

When a card as bad as Rakdos jumps in price by 10000%, you should be wary.

I searched for a similar image, and I found this website:

I think this is the one.
