I used the tcgplayer search last time I did this.

http://magic.tcgplayer.com/all_magic_sets.asp

I'm not sure if it actually pulled everything or if it just gave up after a certain number of results. I started with;

Set: All Editions
Rarity: Uncommon
Price: > $1

-it shows you every edition of the cards over $1.
-it's sortable by set or price

In the last year or so somebody did a detailed post/thread about the process of getting his collection ensured. It might be helpful to you.

For Standard? Yes. For Modern? Depends on what you're looking for. Legacy/Vintage? I don't think anything has changed.

They exploded, apparently, unless they were already worth that much. TCG low is $48.

Its actually one of the best times to buy standard. Most speculation talk is focused on the modern shake-up, and BNG is regarded as a very low impact set for all formats. Pair this with the fact that standard is already percieved as stale, and the recently spoiled event decklist which carries most of the pricy staples of the top deck in standard.

Its a bit of a tangent, but I'm really glad that there's not much hype for standard right now. A stale standard is the best way to drive people into modern, and this standard is STALE. Would it have killed WotC to print pack rat hate oustide of black?

It was a good deal, so I'm not complaining. Seems like my paranoia about people with different grading scales than mine has become lax over the last few months.

MOTL. It was a playset of rishadan port for $193 shipped, which have since gone up quite a bit after already being a good deal at the time. With NM copies now pushing $80, I'm not complaining. I just really don't like shuffle creases in particular.

This event deck has a higher retail value of individual cards than most previous event decks. Considering we've had event decks that essentially had all value condensed into 2 inkmoth nexuses or 2 stoneforge mystics, this event deck actually makes the most popular and powerful standard deck significantly cheaper once it hits the market. Also, the point I was driving was the fact that standard decks are, as a whole, the cheapest they have been in over 4 years.

Prices for Standard have come back to some sense of normal and Born of the Gods didn't do much to rock the boat. My problem is that I don't understand what keeps some prices afloat.

But thanks for nitpicking.
