Ah, but that’s for professional sellers I guess. You can’t bring that with you all the time I guess.

In reply to phyrexian trader. A display case. You know those setups displaying jewelery or watches in their respective stores so that you can see them through the glass but not touch them? Imagine something similar but filled with Magic cards. They are usually used to display the more prominent cards a seller has available.

Can you explain what a ‘case’ is in this context?

My experience running a case has mirrored yours. Planeswalkers go like crazy. I sold three Chandra, the crappy M13 version, in the past week, and all three were to individual buyers (as in 3 transactions). It’s nuts. but that playset of Nightveil Specters has sat forever.

In reply to iamnik77. Competitive players are much easier to find than casual groups. Community Colleges, Casual night at the LGS, 24 hour coffee shops sometimes. Facebook is a good resource as are other message board type places. Lots of people play at each others\' houses, but if you can meet them when they come in to buy cards you can sometimes touch base that way. Also, EDH-only players value cards that non-EDH players don\'t and vice versa. There is brisk trade serving those two markets with the cast-offs from the other.

In reply to Griselbrand77. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I sold a karakas and I sold EDH staples.

7 weeks ago i bought a collection that included many planeswalkers and they were selling so fast that i recovered my money and i’m still making profits.

Gideon, Ajani and Sorin are the most requested planeswalkers in my area.

Good article Jason

Very interesting point here. I never stopped to realize how much casual players love their Planeswalkers. I was shocked the other day to see how expensive Chandra Ablaze is considering she saw/sees 0 play in sanctioned formats.

Great insights to the casual vs. competitive mindset. Articles like this are why I love this site. Now to just find both types of groups!
