One question I have is once it’s time, do you sell to bots, an online buylist, or do you run your own bot?

Also, if you ever cash out your tix back to fiat, what method do you use?

Thanks!

This logjam is responsible, I think, for Dominaria card prices being so high on MTGO. I’m not sure when the last time a set held firm at a $110-$120 value, but it’s been a long time. Do we know if and when Wizards is going to release another wave of Dominaria product?

Preorder boxes were about $83/ea, and are now $100/ea! This goes against conventional wisdom where WotC was printing sets into oblivion.

This is just one more reason investing in MtGO is safer, because there’s less unpredictability on the logistics side of things.

Hey John,

I wouldn’t call myself an expert on paper finance since I don’t do any speculation on paper cards, but paper sets tend to be at their peak at the very beginning of their life cycle and then just gradually drop from there (see Hour of Devastation’s graph as an example here: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/index/HOU#paper). This makes speculating on Standard cards in paper finance *much* more about identifying the cards that are undervalued and underappreciated, or identifying cards that have the potential for improvement given a changing card pool. What we don’t see in paper are the natural rhythms of lows and highs that you see on MTGO (it’s much easier and far less risky to invest on MTGO than in paper).
