It has pretty consistently been in the 500-700 range on eBay, after originally hitting the market at 1200.

  • @Maverick0945
    @Maverick0945 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was explaining to someone today just how much value old secret lairs were worth. At the time, the 39.99 price tag meant that if you bought it, you were effectively buying a Sliver Overlord plus shipping. The Ur-Dragon was free. The Reaper King was free. The bonus card(Which could be a stained glass Nicol Bolas Dragon God) Was free. Then the value started dropping down and conveniently each drop was worth about as much as buying the cards was but with special art. Now they don't even do that. Sometimes the drops have literal actual garbage in them(I recall one of the LOTR drops maxing out at like a dollar's worth of cards) sometimes they're worth it for other reasons, like the Dan Frazier signets. But you could always choose to buy them or not. Now they sell out so I guess it doesn't matter if they have reprint value or not.

    As always, this is never the fault of the publisher but the 2nd market seller that prices astronomically based on some arbitrary valuation. If someone obtains the only copy of a card that exists in the world and uses it to light a joint, it would be worth $0 on the secondary market and would always have been worth $0 (or the price of ink and cardboard) from start to finish.
