Take a walk down memory lane this week, as Sig shares some of his favorite aspects of Magic finance from years ago that are no longer relevant.

In this previously unpublished article from 2014, Sig shows how a small bankroll doesn’t have to prevent you from growing the value of your Magic collection.

Sig’s interest in Magic bottomed in 2021. This week he shares personal stories about leaving the game and returning in the past. Will this time be different?

While attempting to price out an Unlimited Mox Sapphire, Sig discovered a surprising trend with the relative value of the Power Nine.

This week Sig examines recent pricing trends on some of Magic’s historically most overprinted and under-powered sets: Homelands, Fallen Empires, and Chronicles. Without looking, can you guess what booster boxes of these sets sell for today? The answer may surprise you!

Nine years ago, Sig wrote his first article describing the collectibility of Alpha rares. At the time, he had no idea just how much the Alpha market could explode. This week, he revisits the topic, updating his view on the set and sharing tips on where to buy.

Less than 1,100 copies of any given Alpha rare were printed. That’s a tiny number! How does it compare with chase collectibles from other hobbies? This week Sig investigates, sharing his conclusions that Alpha rares have a lot of room for growth.
