I have sold off my own foil mythic rares from AKH and HOU. I definitely think you want to be out of them in the next two weeks. If you have a bunch, you’ll have to sell them off slowly in order to not crash the market.

When is the best time to sell the foil mythics of AKH and HOU? Now, or wait closer to the redemption guarantee date?

You could be right! It seems like the lack of Masterpieces is helping contribute to a set with high redemption value, and thus keeping MTGO prices up.

The bottom on Ixalan might have already come and gone. But ask yourself this, what is the upside to speculating on Ixalan right now? I think the opportunity cost of buying into Ixalan right now is high, since I don’t see strong upside for a few months at least, thus I don’t want to tie up tix in a spec that I expect doesn’t really go anywhere.

I am continuing to look at Modern singles as well as dabbling in Standard, though I am avoiding Ixaland as noted.

Thanks for reading, and commenting.

I’m definitely going to be curious about how Iconic Masters affects the ideal time to buy Ixalan’s singles. You’re seemingly convinced that Iconic Masters is not going to alter the usual truth that the ideal time to buy the fall set is closer to Christmas or early January. I’m afraid we’ve already reached the low point. The set’s price trajectory has not been behaving normally – it hasn’t gone down in weeks, and is about $7 higher now than it was weeks ago (a phenomenon that doesn’t make any scientific sense).

I’ve started investing in Ixalan, but I’m going to be patient and prudent for the next two months since I have a hard time imagining that the set is going to keep going up over the holiday season.
