They went down a little, but Aether Vial and Arcbound Ravager are already above the pre-MM price. The Modern format is continuing to grow so we can expect prices to keep rising.

I'm hoping MM2 is at least 3x the print run.

Anybody else seeing the explosion of Modern staples as a similar cycle to the Legacy explosion a few years back? There is a difference in the fact that Legacy had Reserve List items while Modern can be reprinted in full.

This is great news for the game I guess, since WOTC will be laughing all the way to the bank.

I don't necessarily mean most valuable card,for example if someone wanted to know the common/uncommons that best represent Legions what would it be.

Find a store that lets you filter by rarity and then sort by price. The top cards would likely be what you are looking for, outside of maybe cards that were top picks in limited only.

Are there rules to being the first pm/post and people behind them respecting that, or is it an unspoken agreement?

lwang is one of my favorite traders, one in good standing and one whom I've traded with a dozen times. Shipping time and condition have always been fantastic. I'd have no reservations about buying from him. I got a Lightning Greaves Foil from him as a Christmas gift. Gonna miss him.

You know people do sell out of magic every once in a while. He has a boatload of refs. I asked him to send email from his MOTL registered email account (he used his gmail account initially) and he obliged me within a couple minutes. We confirmed the transaction.

I never understand people ripping people who sell and charge for shipping to protect themselves. Everything is a negotiation. If you don't like the rules or prices, stop complaining and go to another playground and play.

Well, perhaps it eliminates the herd to just the states because shipping is cheaper and can be tracked.

Somehow I doubt asking him to not try to profit off shipping (where I still am taking on the risk that he won't even mail the cards) will be terribly productive. If you don't want to ship outside of the US without registered, don't offer non-registered. People give waivers and then do Paypal chargebacks anyway.

I can only get the shipping cheap is if I shipped in a PWE with a toploader. Then and only then can it be less than $2.5. Otherwise, it typically goes at a much higher value because it is in a bubble mailer. I use 000 bubblemailers. Also, almost always the post office clerk will ask you if it has value and if so, customs form.

Perhaps the USPS folks in WI are a little relaxed on the rules. In CALI, it seems they always charge more and I can't even get the online tool to give me a break.
