I wanted to discuss what I believe to be the worst financial move in Magic history:

Ben Bateman.

We have all watched this man trade almost his entire collection which included a black lotus, for a serialized One Ring Borderless Poster graded 9.5. He then thought he was making a statement by cracking the slab which was going for over 100k to put in his deck to play with regularly.

Not much later, he begins making videos about opening LOTR Holiday packs to try to make his money back from trading his old collection.

Currently he is spending much less and is opening the regular LOTR collector boosters.

I think about this every now and then and say "wow, that was fucking stupid lol"

EDIT: Guys I'm not Bateman, I wish I was because *money* but I'm not. You're paranoid lmao

The Original decks and secret lairs are scarce and was thinking that it's about time for another set right? I'm thinking we might see it in 2027.

I'll Just list the things I've seen, Secret Lair everything has been moving like crack in Brooklyn NY 1978.

Veil of Summer from Back in My Day is currently being bought out

Angels They're Just like us deck sealed is almost out and reaching about $800 sealed

Goblin & Squabblin foil sealed has about 12 left on TCGPlayer currently going for $500+ and due to the incredible fame that Wizard of Barge has gotten from the Goblin Storm deck, I think these cards will be in high demand for years to come.

Goblin Storm is going to be a 1k+ deck in the near future. Art is insane, it's a fun deck with interchangable commanders, also drives up the price of the other Barge art by an insane amount. Goblin & Squablin is also scarce and Muxus is going for 200 already. These cards I believe only have upward movement from here. The Krenko sells out anytime its under 100 too.

Did I miss something? multiple sales over the months with cards selling over 100
