I personally don’t think it is. I don’t know what the ceiling on the fetches is…but in all honesty I think we could be near it…I mean the Blue ones are $65-69 on the mid (which is close to the Flooded Strand (U/W from onslaught)). While it’s perfectly possible they can go up a bit more….I’m more than happy with 100-110% profits w/o further carrying risk of reprints. I do think that the modern event deck will almost assuredly have at least 1 (likely only 1) in it, but frankly the $75 MSRP price tag will mean that the casual FNMers are not likely to purchase it and trade off the high dollar cards like they might with the cheaper standard event decks. I have no idea on the draft set (though that does seem like a great place for WoTC to throw them in to drop the price)..hence it would be good to unload them now and leave the last 10% for the next guy.

David, do you think it’s better to sell before we learn more about the Modern Event Deck and the newly announced draft set? How likely will fetches appear in these? Even if it’s not 100% likely, is it worth the risk to hold at least into Modern season or is the upside not worth it?

Ya…I’m still sitting on quite a few fetches..but have been selling them off the last few weeks. It feels really good knowing you made over 100% profit in less than a year. Thought I do agree that now is the time to get rid of them. I don’t plan on owning any after this modern season.

Yeah, these fetches are getting way outta hand. Props to you for holding this long. I know many including myself sold out of these way too prematurely in fear of reprints. The reprints will come eventually…it’s just a guessing game now as to when. Selling here feels fine by me if you don’t want to ride the risk train any further.

Know what works well with this creature? Arid Mesa. Just don’t look to SCG to buy your copies–they’re already sold out at $39.99.”

It was just now that I decided to start selling all my fetchlands. I mean, at $40 for Arid Mesa and Marsh Flats, $50 for Verdant Catacombs and $60 for the other two, I start to feel not as safe holding them.
