No problem. I’m in the same boat. I used to go to GPs to play EDH with random players and trade…I’ve seen the trading shift more to a “store vs store” value trading which tends to scare away casuals which used to be the reason to go trade (being able to unload all those random $3-$5 casual cards for competitive staples was definitely viable for a few years). Now, I mainly go to sell to dealers and buy cards that vendors are looking to move quickly. I also enjoy spending time with my friends on the way to/from and on sight which is not something one should devalue either.

Thank you and please keep these articles coming!

Thanks man. I always enjoy positive feedback. Definitely let me know how you do this weekend. I’m especially interested in which vendors you have the most success with as I have learned to focus on the ones who buy the most early on, which speeds up the process of unloading a lot of cheap cards exponentially.

Good catch..you are correct that there are no modern legal cards on the reserved list. That was a brain fart as I’m used to typing the Eternal formats of which H I alwaus list modern.

This was the exact type of article I needed at the exact right time as I’m going to a GP this weekend to sell off a ton of low priced cards and wasn’t 100% sure what to do with the funds afterwards. I will be looking to pick up the low priced EDH and RL cards like you mentioned.

I really appreciate the effort and thought you put into this.

Small nit pick: you list Modern as a place you can get Reserve list cards from (along with Legacy/Vintage/Commander) under your bullit points on specific targets but I’m almost positive none exist in Modern. Please clarify if I’m misunderstanding something.

Thanks and take care!
