Between reprinting a sold out specialty product, and introducing 24/hr print to demand, it is becoming clear that secondary market demand is at an all time low.

Resellers are offloading the product on eBay and TCGplayer for around $200, essentially breaking even.

Previously only Kirk, Janeway, and Picard were announced. This confirms the other 4.

Each headliner will be a physically signed card, with about 250 each. Physically signed meaning Patrick Stewart, for example, held and signed his signature with a pen on 250 of the Picard cards.

It was just confirmed that the Warhammer 40k Commander decks are getting a "small" reprint. Nobody knows yet what this means. This isn't a "40K singles are going to crash" post. They might drop a lot, a little, or barely at all.

If the news made you think about selling or the news has you wanting to get out there's an option a lot of people skip.

Listing on TCGplayer right now means joining the race to the bottom. Take Thunderhawk Gunship: its market price still says about $15, but near mint copies are already listed below $9. To sell yours, you'd have to undercut those listings and hope nobody undercuts you before a buyer shows up. Even a sale at $9 nets you about $7.80 after fees.

Meanwhile, SCG is still buylisting it at $12 cash.

Buylisting is the other route. Some 40K cards still buylist at Card Kingdom or StarCityGames for close to (or even more than) what you'd net on TCGplayer after fees. You also get to lock in your price and will get paid in 1-2 weeks.

These 24 currently pay more than TCG net, as of 8 Oct 2026:

No guarantees here either. Buylists can drop at any time. The more people read this and submit buylist orders, the faster those bids fill and come down. CK and SCG also work differently once you've submitted:

• Card Kingdom honours the price you locked in, as long as you ship within 7 days.
• StarCityGames buylist prices are discretionary. Even after you submit an order, they can decline to take the cards.

I'm not telling anyone to sell. I'm pointing out an option so you can make the call yourself.

If you want to run the same check on the rest of your 40K cards, or your wider collection, TCGSentry compares buylist prices against market for free. Full disclosure, it's my own website.
