    Melissa Benson is one of my favorite MTG artists. Her and Richard Kane Ferguson.
    I made a custom card way back in the day named "Glyph of Melissa Benson" that when played buried all cards with her artwork.

    You can get them for less than $50 if you get lucky on ebay auctions. I got one for $31 shipped a couple weeks ago. But you're not getting $31 out of almost any Ice Age starter deck either. ButI think a lot of peop;le are like me and just buy it every now and then for the nostalgia. It was the 1st expansion that came out after I started playing during 4th edition. I got a booster box for my 15th birthday. Even though it's a garbage set in terms of card quality, it still makes me happy.

    I think the reason the price is so high is mainly because of the snow-coverd mountains and islands show up enough that they boost up the price.
    I think its because most of the money from this set comes from the land section.

    I think its pretty consistent you will get at lease 30 dollars with how much the snow cover lands and basic lands sell for. Obvious people don't buy to open to make a profit.If each starter avg 35 dollars in cards then you be taken a loss of 15. People like to relive the past and for some its worth lossing 15 dollars for the enjoyment I guess.
