In reply to knx. I do not know the precise answer to your question, but I believe TCG Low is a better guide. If we had the sum of buylists, I'd expect that number is below TCG Low. I'd say that when buy list prices are approaching the cost of redeeming a set, then there will be dealers who it is profitable to redeem sets. This might be a good question for the forums, to get some input from current dealers who may redeem sets.

In reply to maxiewawa. You are right, it might work out differently for EMN. I put this limit in as a way to avoid over paying and losing money on the strategy. By putting a cap in of 0.4 tix, the chances of over paying on an uncommon that doesn't go up are reduced. Since we don't have a real way to predict which uncommons will go up, it's best to try and limit the downside and hope to 'get lucky' on the ones you do buy.

I have a question about redemption : is KTK being redeemed atm, i mean does it pay off for people who want the cards from KTK to redeem the set ? The difference between low and mid is so great i have no idea (never dealt with real cards).

Re-read this article today, and it occurs to me that the last rule about not paying more than 0.4 tix is only apparent because we’re looking back on the data, during actual pre release it might not be clear that the floor is 0.4, and in future sets it might be higher or lower.
