In reply to Peter Kowalczyk. And thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you liked this article. Definitely a lot of data to mine through, but I think the 4-step checklist method will help you and me and others make sound investments in this area in the future.

Thanks Peter. I think you’d have to have a really really high level of confidence in a card to go more than 50 copies, and it is hard to have confidence in a card that hasn’t proven itself (hence their penny-stock status). Sometimes it is just sheer luck (e.g. the Gearhulks getting a major bump from God-Pharaoh’s Gift).

I think you’re right when you say that the windows on tiny-stock uncommons tend to be higher. That’s probably because an uncommon has to be a real core part of Standard’s fabric to be worth a dollar. The bar is significantly lower for a rare or mythic, which in turn means you’re going to get more “flashes in the pan” in rares and mythics.

Great Article. A few things Id like to add, based on your chart you can visually see how “rare” it is for a rare/mythic to go from nothing to above a dollar. There are only a couple for each set, and with 60+ mythics and rares you really need to be on point with your spec game, as you have pointed out. Also, in my experience maxing at 50 copies seems to be a good idea. Ive gone real deep on some of these, and even when they do spike, the price doesn’t hold and I am not able to move all of them. With the uncommons Ive been able to move 100+ copies without too much trouble. I really enjoyed this articles.

Thanks,

Peter
