I bought 15x from the vault realms around christmas time at $100-$110. Now just the grove is almost worth that. Absolute insanity.

THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED.

EDIT: When does Modern season actually "start" in terms of relevance? I gathered some stuff a few months ago for a deck, but I'm thinking I might just shoot for cashing out. Prices like this make it very difficult to actually consider keeping a competitive collection around when I can do maybe 1-2 events a year.

I've been thinking of playing both online and paper more competitively instead of being a collector, but how could I hold inquis @20+ each? Just for an OCCASIONAL modern event at the LGS?

Thank you. Exactly 1000% this.

Solution:
Buy out Hasbro. Absolve MOST of the reserved list except power nine. Put in clause to allow gold-border prints.

Reprint the thing not on the reserved list using supplemental product such as WELL designed FTV, CMDR sets, duel-decks, etc...

(Hidden request for help hidden in there somewhere )

EDIT: Thanks Vegas, that's 1 out of 2

Im sure as soon as they do that, some asshat with a lawyer will make a fuss and it'll get changed again. relevant sections quoted here:

Reserved cards will never be printed again in a functionally identical form. Starting in 2011, no cards on the reserved list will be printed in either premium or non-premium form. Wizards of the Coast may print special versions of cards not meant for regular game play, such as oversized cards.

so its fuzzy. obviously gold bordered arent functionally identical because they're explicitly not legal and therefor not functional. BUT do they consider gold bordered cards 'not meant for regular gameplay'.

People have been shouting for a vintage or legacy cube, gold-border, for years. And it would sell like mad.
