The prices fluctuate a lot on the duals and staples of the format and since there is no casual market the cards do not retain value for long after the season is over.

Absolutely correct. I really think this is not a blanket judgment to make about the prerelease cards, but rather the playability/popularity of those cards. I don't see Sheoldred going crazy, whereas the highly-playable Hero of Bladehold and Emrakul or the insanely popular Nocturnis do push up.

@Chris
I'll start with the disclaimer that I'm not an expert on MTGO, but I believe it's even more prevalent there because people sell their cards when they're done with them and want to draft. This is, of course, assuming the MTGO PTQ structure mirrors that of paper, which I believe it does (seasons-wise).

Maybe something new with mythic highly playable prerelease cards. See prices also on emrakul and vampire nocturnus.
