Your comment actually explains why OGW bucked the trend. Everyone was waiting for a lower price point than the market would bear to buy in.

Previously it didn’t matter much the “quality” of the set… hell DGM and BNG had good bounces 😛

Having more people doing it certainly have an influence but maybe not as simple as that. I think that one effect of having more speculators is that prices actually fluctuate “more”, more drops and spikes.

As for the full sets spec, I’m not seeing really any pattern due to more speculators. BFZ is clearly not great but OGW was one of the best by far, I made 50+% in only few weeks. The bottom was reached sooner than I thought but the price really spiked hard (for a set) following that. I think it has much more to do with the quality of the set and interactions/playability with what’s next, which is unpredictable since we don’t know what the next set(s) will be made of.
Same thing with sets out of Standard, some were great (JOU and M15) some were not. So if it was a matter of more players in the pool I assume we would see things being more “even”?

Finally, things are also constantly evolving for sets: small set, big set, medium set, no core set, different rotation, structure, size. That might a reason why people (me 1st) thought OGW would settle lower when in deed the set didn’t have that much supply for a 2nd set since it’s larger than regular small sets.

Also, you should let us know when you want to start botting and stop speculation. The grass is always better on the dealer side with sufficient capital.

I’m quite disappointed by the BFZ full sets but I’m still hoping they can increase in price. With the twice-a-year rotation there’s another chance for BFZ prices to go up in September. Actually any new set can potentially boost BFZ prices if more BFZ cards get played.

Although I might sell some before if I can break even and to free some Tix I will hold on to the rest of them until September for sure.

Good point. Actually I had sold them few weeks ago but forgot to report them in my spreadsheet. I sold them for less than what they are now. So definitely a good time to “really” sell them!

Is there any reason to think that BFZ sets, will increase in the fall?
