The Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection for Pokémon TCG is available at TCGplayer for $46.39, saving $31.60 compared to Amazon's price of $77.99, making it a better deal for collectors and players alike.
A seemingly useless Magikarp Pokémon card from the Paldea Evolved set has experienced a significant price increase of over $100 in two weeks, driven by its artwork and rarity, despite its poor gameplay stats, highlighting how collector interest often values artistic and rarity factors over in-game utility.
The new Edge of Eternities Stellar Sights Bonus Sheet for Magic: The Gathering has been disappointing so far, with most revealed cards being low-value lands and artifacts, though there are a few notable exceptions like Inventors’ Fair and Petrified Field. The overall impression is that the sheet is weak, but there is hope that the best cards are yet to come, possibly in the remaining unrevealed cards. Fans are hopeful for more impactful lands like Ancient Tomb or Eye of Ugin in future reveals.
The upcoming MTG Secret Lair featuring artwork by Phoebe Wahl offers stunning visuals but disappointing card choices with low reprint values, including Swords to Plowshares, Dockside Chef, Faerie Artisans, Alela, and Door of Destinies, with a combined value of under $10. Despite the appealing artwork, players are disappointed by the lack of value and questionable card selections, making it a less lucrative option compared to other Secret Lair drops.
The upcoming Commander Masters set will feature additions to "The List," a collection of cards from outside specific sets. While some valuable cards like Urza's Saga and Force of Vigor have been removed, there are still some expensive classics being added. Cards leaving The List, such as Helm of the Host and Contamination, have dropped in value due to their previous appearances. New additions like Alliance of Arms, Oppression, and Flusterstorm hold decent price tags and could see their prices decrease with reprints. Burgeoning and Furnace of Rath are also valuable additions to the set.
