Someone offered a trade of a foil GM for my foil 7th Ed Japanese BoP about a year or two ago. I turned it down. Did I commit /r/mtgfinance sin?

This shitpost from Reddit about how to circumvent the RL is basically what you're looking for.

And it'll never happen.

I mean, as far as Japanese cards go I only buy/use those in my decks so I have a pretty good idea (moreso than the average MTG player, anyway) of how they appear and feel. Therefore I'd say that I am...

If counterfeiters can barely get English printings right, how would foreign printings be easier to copy? Or is there more inconsistency in those printings meaning that the fake might even look better...

I always read this but no one ever posts any proof. The way I see it, there's only 2 reasons that's the case:

1. Fakes aren't as good as people claim so people just want to stir the pot by saying...

Or we could get lucky and they print both. But at that point I would probably actually start selling out of MTG because if WotC is making 2 nearly identical spells just to fill a void in Modern, that...

I thought Europeans didn't bother themselves with that dumpster fire of a format? Is it really that much on MKM?

Wizards really needs to just start (re)printing answers. They've already cut Modern from the PT and solidified their position to push Standard and Limited as the premier competitive formats; there's...

I found one lying around in my collection and sold it 2 years ago for the first $2 I could get (before Lantern and Cherri0s became big) because lol @ $2 for a jank uncommon.

What if I told you that people who own RL cards can play the game and be concerned about the money the put into it? That the two are not mutually exclusive?
...

But you have less to lose than others. If you bought something at $20, and it goes up to $220, you've only profited $200 if you sell the card. Your investment is only $20. However, for people like...

You're right, I do have a choice. And I chose the hobby that has a policy that says I can expect a significant return (maybe a little more, maybe a little less, but not significantly less) on the...

Can't have fun every Friday with $600 sitting in a bank account.

Those of us who bought into the format recently because we were upset with how the finances of Modern and Standard worked. If WotC didn't basically have a policy that guaranteed that I didn't need to...

Age isn't everything. Powerlevel also plays a big part. Just look at FoW. Sure, it was reprinted at mythic, but it's for the most part held its value. Natural Order has only really fallen about...

But most people own Revised duals and those would depreciate significantly. I'm sure many would be pissed seeing the manabase they just spent $1500 on become $700 overnight.

And people yelled at me for not going for the Italian Moat. Lmao.

I want to play Modern but I can't afford this $30 piece of jank please reprint.

But that's like the cheapest one.

If you're pimping, you really don't have the "right" to complain about prices.

93/94 is a more legitimate format than EDH will ever hope to be, anyway.

The saddest thing about the RL is that we'll never see the sweet new art in paper form. Eureka, the VMA duals, Moat, etc.

Masters sets are designed for limited first, with the understanding that they will be reprinting cards much in need of a reprint. No way would WotC put manafixing at mythic in any set meant for...

They weren't mythic in VMA, and WotC would never print "regular" lands at mythic.



TCG Mid is a terrible data point. How many of those mid cards are selling? Or better yet, how many cards are...

PS4/XB1 don't have nearly the same replayabilty as MTG. It's a stupid argument and will never not be such.
