As a reply said to me in response to me calling out someone's listing of a $1000 Field Marshal that was DirectTCGplayered into my cart: "The beauty of an open marketplace like TCGplayer's is that buyers have the power of choice, and that sellers need to compete to make their product attractive to buyers. If you see a high price like this one out there, there's a really good chance that no one will ever buy it, and therefore it won't have an effect on the market. We will follow up with the seller and let them know of the unusually high price, they may have made a key stroke error when entering the price. " While, yes, it's unlikely for an overpriced card to sell and the beauty of an open market is hard to not notice, the fact they can do the more 'reasonable' price hikes with Direct is scum.
Hopefully you see this. Two sellers on TCGPlayer by the name of "Card Mart Express" and "MVP Game Cards" has a Riddlesmith listed for $79,115.36 and $79,115.37 respectively. This is a 10 cent card. I only saw this because I was building a budget Sharuum commander deck and using the mass entry feature to see how much the deck would cost, and to my surprise my total came out to over $80,000. There was also a Myr Retriever being listed by "MVP Game Cards" for $999.99. The Riddlesmith had me rolling.
I think Loran is the most playable card in the set; been saying this since the spoilers. I picked up a few cheap after release and have them in decks and they are performing well. Price is going to climb as people stop sleeping on it.
Hidden Gibbons could be due to the jumpstart monkey commander
I love the concept of these videos, you're really the only channel highlighting the price manipulation going on with TCGPlayer, thanks man!

I was just talking about your channel on Alphonso Investments livestream about price manipulation. Keep up the good work.
The pun on hidden gibbons though... 🤣
I'm so glad I own a goblin welder. Wish I bought the foil.

I bought a bunch of hidden gibbons to play with the new J22 combo because it was hard to find and cheap.
