3-4 months ago Karlov Manor was at $90 at multiple retailers. Might be a bit too late now. OTJ on the other hand, thanks to the 2 bonus sheets, is still very good value. Play boosters now average about 1.25 Rares and Mythics per pack so they're basically draft boosters at this point. OTJ was consistently at 1.75 Rares and Mythics per Play pack. Keep that in mind.
As the price of the Surveil lands kept climbing the boxes had to match that. You might be right that it's too late. If the majority of the pulls are bulk, you need a good 4 surveil lands to come close to getting your value out of a box. But these may continue to rise until a reprint appears. Although, that's a gamble since we could easily see them in commander precons.
Got 612 MKM boosters (almost 17 boxes) for $1053 all in - so about 1.62 a pack (opened them all lol) - also was getting Zendikar rising set for $80 a box (haven’t cracked them … yet) - Happy New Year Josh!
that kids is why i bought karlov manor not too long ago fishing for those lands. boyfriend called me crazy i got 2 of the more expensive land, turned around and bought the surveil for my deck and his.
I am curious about your background. Do you buy 4 or 5 same collector packs to open later or to "inve$t" or just for the look? Do you try to get one of each on release? Only collector boxes or also other stuff? What about vintage singles? Do you like collecting and completing set? If so you should do videos showing your stuff.
Mostly I buy things that I don't think I would be unhappy to own if they were ever worth significantly less than when I bought them (see my Streets of New Capenna Gilded Foil Charm collection) I will, however, from time to time, buy things that I think will be popular with the players/community
MKM and OTJ collector boosters are still seriously undervalued. People can't get over the cringy themes, but there are a lot of very good playable cards.
I like to wait a while to buy stuff, I don't play in any events or tournaments so I like to buy the stuff that rotated out and commander precons that are $40 or less
It would be cheaper to buy the Karlov Manor singles than buy a box. Zendikar Rising has some good cards in this set and a Booster box for $84.99 is a good buy. War of the Spark clearly does not have much value as a set. It is not undervalued. Thunder Junction is a better set than March of the Machines. The Collector boxes are fairly cheap and there is a lot of them out there. With that being said, most of the time you do not get much value out of a Collectors box. Considering you only get 12 packs, you end up getting a lot of duplicate cards and pack print runs. To each their own. Thank you for the video.
It's because it was a beloved plane they shoehorned the detective stuff in. Like Outlaws, players felt it was contrived and shallow. As an established player since the 90s I also don't get the hate. It's a card game about magic powers, it's all silly and contrived. People absolutely hated lorwyn or kamigawa when they were new, now they are beloved. This aspect of the game is just people stupidly living out their power fantasy.
Sorrin Markov was already doing the detective thing in the Avecyn block, trying to figure out where the protector of the humans on Innistrad disappeared to.

Mkm runs the risk of having surveil lands reprinted. Otj is great to open due to the big score and breaking news which greatly helped the set
I think they definitely will be reprinted, but imo they will always hold SOME value, and I don’t think they will be reprinted in the near future.
Thanks! Nice to hear more opinions. Love finding good boxes. I just ordered markov and MOM.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Fallout is fun.
Buy all 4 decks or buy them twice, mix them all together = Fallout Draft Cube.
Amazing.

Wow that's a crazy deal!
Happy new year!
Full agree about Karlov & Fallout.....Keep the input coming!
Fallout set most likely sold well due to the success of the show
Holy shit, Sliver Queen went through the roof. Divine intervention has almost doubled. Vintage BOOM!
Vintage Magic is definitely something people are NOT paying enough attention to imo
Zendikar Rising came with some spicy box toppers too!

Excellent hair wave 🌊
I gotta get a cut again but I want it to be fresh for magiccon!
Like this, Thy! I am a beginer...

Well….It’s a splicing of New Copenna slush art with Ravnica.
What is your thoughts on new Gundam TCG?
In these age of magic there is not a single thing that hasbro/wotc do that could be called too cheap😂
That card stock for Magic cards is cheap. Go look at some real playing cards used in casinos.

you should do a sealed collection video
I might. Do you think it would generate real interest?
10:26 was waiting for this... "Not financial" advise....when the whole video is just that...
I started magic when karlov manor came out so I don't understand the hate
