I've been contemplating trying to acquire the legacy deck JaceRock and am wondering if sellig my collection would be enough to pay for it. I've crunched the numbers and I'm pretty sure that the value is over the deck value, but I wanted to know if selling everything as a whole would take too much off to cover it. The collection is:

4 summomer's pact
2 crop rotation
4 vengevine
4 buried alive
4 cabal therapy
4 faerie macabre

4 steel overseer
12 artifact land (w/b/u)
3 birthing pod


In mail:
2 phantasmal image
2 kitchen finks
2 Garruk relentless

The missing cards from the deck are:

3 Life from the Loam
2 Vindicate
2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
4 Mox Diamond
4 Chalice of the Void
2 Engineered Explosives
4 Knight of the Reliquary
3 Windswept Heath
2 Wasteland
1 Academy Ruins
2 Tolaria West

[/deck]

I'm not sure how much value I would lose selling the whole collection and would appreciate any help.

Edit: also, would I make more money selling the bigger cards on my own and sellin the bulk together? Or would the bulk go for more with the more popular stuff?

It's hard to come up with an exact value, but from me, if I was buying the collection and selling you the cards, I would want $250-300 on top of the collection to complete the deck assuming you would want Duals and other cards in decent condition

There's always more money in selling stuff separately. Bulk sales are always to someone who doesn't actually want all the cards you're asking them to buy. That's why there is a discount. The more you can match your cards with someone who actually wants that card, the more money you will make.

That can be tremendously time-consuming with small value stuff though.
