It's definitely more than 4K. I'd snap buy at that price.

Other than Candelebra, there are no real money cards in that set. The value is just not there.

I feel the $3-4k is a realistic sale value, instead of a sit on the shelf until it sells 3 years later value. If you'd snap buy at that price, hey bud you have a taker (although I doubt you are a serious buyer).

It seems you might have forgotten Mishra's Workshop?

As others are saying, the value of the cards in the pack is not the primary way old sealed product is valued. The first buylist I checked had Antiquities at $3,770. 3-4k is just not correct.

Who are you? You have 4 references and you're going to act like this? We don't need any more Zeccks and Walkerdogs. Where were you when lickaneye needed help?

You have got to be kidding.

I have a very nice collection, but a low MOTL feedback. By the time I joined MOTL my collection was already at the point where I was looking for rather scarce and unusual items.

I don't do much on MOTL, since almost no one has items I truly want, and with my low references, I'm not sending items worth hundreds or thousands of dollars first.

I don't know anything about gregmacknass, and his forgetting Mishra's Workshop is a bit strange. Despite low references he could be an avid collector of MTG. I've had many low reference members of this and other forums (i.e. Magic Librarities) step up and purchase big-dollar items.

While I personally think a sealed box of Antiquities, or anything else that old, has value from being sealed, I think we are getting to the point where the values of the high condition cards in the box make up a large percentage of the value.

With a single booster, you are gambling that the pack hasn't been searched, and has something decent in it. With a sealed box from a reputable source, you get rid of the gamble on whether the boosters have been sealed, and increase the chances of decent cards somewhere in the box.

If you can live with Near Mint cards, sealed boxes are normally expensive. But when you start delving into graded cards sealed boxes start to make sense.

I'm going to agree w hammr7 here. A LOT of the value of an old sealed box like this gets that value from the potential that

1. It's not searched
2. The ability to open an individual card that could be graded and worth untold amounts of money exist

If I'm selling a box like this I'm making a point to get more money bc the potential I'm selling you an untouched lottery ticket. You will pay a premium to me for that.
