In reply to Jason Alt. Because you're talking about how much the old price dipped when the reprint comes out.

In reply to Jason Alt. Both charts would be ideal for old vs new comparison purposes.

In reply to Justin Smith. Why would that be more relevant to a discussion about how much the new Chord of Calling will be?

Shouldn’t you be using the LOR chart for Thoughtseize instead of the THS one?

Great article, Jason. I feel Painlands are all silly expensive now. I understand that Standard demand will be very high, but I have to believe supply will keep up. Plus, you know, the fact that these have been printed four times!

As for buy listing Chord, I was a late-to-the-party buylister – just submitted my set to ABU Games for $22 (NM) and $18 (Pld). My few data points on ABU tell me they will honor this buy price. They had all day to react to the news so if they are still paying $20 for this card then that should reflect what they’re truly thinking it is worth. If they are unable to react to spoilers within 12 hours given that the internet is ubiquitous, then they need to invest in better price management. But hopefully they honor the price.

And in reality, Ravnica Chords WILL probably stay at like $20 retail because of the old frame/print run. I’m not an aesthetic guy so I’m happy to play with ugly, new copies that cost me $8. 🙂
