So someone knows of a few people who think they did a buy out because they bought every copy that they could find at a certain time point…
This is not a buy out. like the reactions mention, you can’t do a buy out with a set in print. People may think they do, but it’s not a buy out.

It’s real demand, feeded by hype and speculation for a part, but it’s still demand.

Nobody is going to sell his foil jace for below 50.

In reply to Chaz V. So you know exactly who bought this out then? I'm not asking for details at all, just curious.

Whoever this/they are, they’ve overlooked the pre-release foils and that feels like a mistake.

In reply to Brecht Van R. The point of this post is that the prices will be coming down before they increase significantly. This is way too soon for a buyout, and this was definitely not just a bunch of people buying one set.

In reply to BRAM. These cards are not worth that at this point in time.

Should I be buying the few on MKM in Europe for Euro 55 to 80 and ship them oversees for $120,- then?

In reply to Brecht Van R.

I could name a few specific people buying this – but I won’t because I don’t want to start anything.

It still feels really odd to target in-print cards that are actually being drafted and opened for another entire month, not to mention MTGO redemption just kicked in.

It seems like you’re surprised by that. Every other mtgfinance article this week mentions these cards and their splash in legacy and vintage, with notes about how good foils are for these formats.

So I’m pretty sure it’s not a single person who is doing a buy out. it’s real in eternal formats and people want to buy them now. Extra copies would be good, but in the end, foil jace will be 100 $ in a year.

It’ll be interesting to see how MTGO foil set redemption affects this price since it should have started yesterday.
