5 Most valuable cards you own

Economics forum

Posted on March 29, 2015, 3:24 a.m. by thebdizzle

Just for fun, what cards do you own that are valuable?

I am interested in what your top 5 cards are value wise, based on TCG Player Mid...

Mine are -

Bayou (Revised) $155.25

Force of Will $110

Rishadan Port $99.24 (only one that I actually pulled from a pack, while Masques was "standard")

Jace, the Mind Sculptor (Worldwake) $93.49

Liliana of the Veil $90.00

Total value: $547.98

If you have any cool stories about how they became yours, feel free to share.

I have various Stom Crow. I win.
Other than that, my most valuable cards are Thoughtseize and Stormbreath Dragon.

Octrate says... #6

Whatever the most expensive cards are in my Razing the Stakes.

I think that's Yawgmoth's Will, Snapcaster Mage, Cryptic Command, Wheel of Fortune, and Jace, the Mind Sculptor.

JRaynor says... #8

thebdizzle I was lowballing on purpose... but I didn't realize the cards value had fluctuated that much since I bought them. Thanks.

You foil players of course, lol. Win everything. I'm astonished the Dack Fayden foil is worth so much.

March 29, 2015 4:30 a.m.

thebdizzle says... #9

Wow maiden77, that's impressive.

jraynor, you're welcome. I use MTG Familiar on my Android device, it's a free app, that's what I always use when trading. I agree about the foil deal, Legacy, Vintage and Modern playable foils are highly priced.

Octrate, I had no idea that Yawgmoth's Will was ever printed in foil, thanks!

March 29, 2015 4:40 a.m.

sylvannos says... #10

My top five are:

I also have Jace, the Mind Sculptor, a couple of red Revised duals, Wasteland, Vendilion Clique, and a plethora of other Modern and Legacy staples.

March 29, 2015 4:43 a.m.

These are the ones that I know of. I'm sure I've got other cards worth more than a couple of these, but I don't feel like looking through all my binders and decks.

Mox Opal $48.43

Wurmcoil Engine (promo) $14.44

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed $12.02

Cabal Coffers (planechase) $13.36

Whisperwood Elemental $14.49

Compared to some of the cards I seen others in this thread post, what I have is just pocket change lol.

March 29, 2015 4:46 a.m.

The_Raven says... #12

Mine:

Goblin Guide 20$

Mana Reflection 18.5$

Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger 15$

March 29, 2015 5:43 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #13

Tarmogoyf x 5 - roughly $200 each.

I was super excited when I got one of the old school ones because I didn't have one for ages.

Yes I collect modern staples.

March 29, 2015 6:50 a.m.

pookypuppy6 says... #19

Mine are probably the foil Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and my Commander's Arsenal Scroll Rack but other than that I can't think of what might be particularly valuable out of what I own.

March 29, 2015 8:30 a.m.

That moment when you are digging through your cards to find something of value and you fall on a foil Karn Liberated...

So my list would be:

1- Foil Karn Liberated at about 100 bucks, maybe a bit more

2- Wurmcoil Engine sitting at around 14 bucks

3- Sheoldred, Whispering One at around 13 bucks

and a bunch of other card that I'm too lazy to put down that are floating at the 10 dollar mark.

March 29, 2015 8:34 a.m.

CastleSiege says... #31

Abrupt Decay ~$70

Breeding Pool ~$40

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver ~$35

Umezawa's Jitte ~$35

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon ~$33

Honorable mention to my foil Eighth Edition Storm Crow which I recently found out is ~$20 lol (though it's still not even in my top 10).

I had a Force of Will, Lion's Eye Diamond, and Savannah but I traded them all away.

March 29, 2015 12:44 p.m.

I just realized Storm Crow foils go for about 25 bucks.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

March 29, 2015 1:18 p.m.

Aefinn says... #36

FAMOUSWATERMELON, try from sites that have foils to sell. You can get Storm Crow for $0,16 from magiccardmarket.

March 29, 2015 1:20 p.m.

Luutamo Ninth Edition, yes. Seventh Edition, no.

March 29, 2015 1:23 p.m.

zyphermage says... #38

  1. 1 NM The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale $729.51(bought for $200)
  2. 2x NM 3rd edition Underground Sea $283.62 each
  3. 1x nm Mana Drain $209.24
  4. 2x tundra 3rd edition Tundra $205 each
  5. 1x nm Gaea's Cradle $160.99 (don't want this anymore)

tcg player mid total = $1,403.36

I have playset of Lion's Eye Diamond and Force of Will, but they didn't make top 5 among others I got. Although the force used to be my top card along with my Jace, the Mind Sculptor. I think that is the top cards I got, though something else I forgot might shift the 5th place out.

March 29, 2015 1:24 p.m.

Holy crap zyphermage, you make me look like a hobo...

March 29, 2015 1:25 p.m.

Kryzis says... #40

Probably from my deck I Don't Play Well With Others.

The deck is worth almost 20K, as I have purchased and traded for a lot of high-powered EDH staples, and have many more decks where I swap these cards around.

March 29, 2015 1:33 p.m.

zyphermage says... #41

Oh yeah this guy has me beat good. I don't go for foils much. When I do get foils, it is only to trade for the non-foil version plus other cards from someone.

March 29, 2015 2:08 p.m.

BoStaffNinja says... #42

  1. Mox Diamond -$28.27- Pulled it out of a pack of Stronghold I got for my birthday.

  2. Sorin, Solemn Visitor -$26 Foil- Pulled it from a pack that also had a Wooded Foothills in it.

  3. Brimaz, King of Oreskos -$22- Pulled it from a pack that I got when I opened my first intro pack.

March 29, 2015 3:33 p.m.

luisserpa says... #43

This is a cool idea, so, my cards are:

2x Gaea's Cradle

1x Dark Confidant

5x Sword of Fire and Ice

1x Damnation

7x Natural Order

maiden77 says... #44

ChiefBell the only guy on ebay.co.uk that ever sells judge foils (hes a judge) is where I usually get my judge foils from to be honest. And with that, I knew it would be insanely valuable so I snatched it up, it's tripled in price since then too :-) I got the judge promo lands from him too at a bargain price. I'm looking forward to him gettin the latest haha. Ooo i just thought, judge foil Survival of the Fittest is more expensive at 299.99, nearing that 2k mark lol

March 29, 2015 4:40 p.m.

I got you all topped. Read em and weep!

  1. Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver $16.70 now, got it for around $5
  2. Darkslick Shores $3.73, but I got 3 so....
  3. Jace, Architect of Thought $2.94, but I also got 3 of him so...
  4. Drowned Catacomb $2.45, but again I have 3. Eat it.
  5. Drown in Sorrow $2.35, but I have 4!!!!!!!!! I know, shocking.

You all should just quit the game. Your cards will never even come close to my value. I even have, get this, a FOIL Thassa's Devourer.

If you can't tell, I'm pretty new to the game and have absolutely nothing of value. But hey, I do take the prize for least valuable collection.

Poptartz95 says... #50

Uh not sure on the price of some of these I will just go off TCG

Avacyn, Angel of HopeGE I dont honestly know how much German of these are assuming like $300? could be wrong though just going off ebay for this one O-o

Ravages of War $350 I think

Moat $315

Liliana of the Veil $200

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon $150 Pulled from a pack :D:D:D:D:D:D

Total Value (again not even 100% sure on the actual value of some of these I just went off TCG, and Ebay) $1315

The interesting story is how I got my Avacyn, Angel of HopeGE I just was playing against a guy, and he just played it, and I was like "OH MY GOD ITS SO PRETTY I WANT THAT" so I asked him to trade, and he couldnt find the value of it (this is back when Avacyns Restored just came out also) so he just went off the normal english price XD cause if I am correct people prefer like korean, and Japanese over German/Russian again i could be wrong, just in my personal experience I meet more people who want Korean/Japanese then German/Russian :D but ya shes my baby!
