Am I the only one who might consider this slightly fake considering the fact that people are paying over 300 dollars per game?

Playing MTG and seeing people pay upto 3,200 for a single card.

I am willing to consider anything plauseable.

For one card maybe, but would they also be willing to pay an additional 300 dollars for each of those common cards?

Not Counting the Stuff that has been reprinted in the past 2 years...yea for the most part aside from cards that are severely unplayable.


Edit : And thats the Near Mint...Gem Condition cards are at the *lowest* 50.00

I'm sorry I simply just don't believe you. I mean I know dedicated fans there are people who will buy Yu-gi-oh cards for 20,000 but they'd never pay 50 for a Dark Magician.

But are they easy to get? Because if they aren't then I wouldn't consider them common *using the word common as in difficulty to get not card status*

define easy to get, Air Elemental is 75.00 in Beta but is .50 in 9th edition.

So yea they are paying a great deal more for what is in effect the same card.

But yeah overall I'm not saying it's impossible someone would be that dumb, but ebay auctions have shown that when bidding gets anywhere near this high, for items clearly not worth anywhere near the price, it's usually fake.

I've hung out at a comic-shop for the better part of 15 years. It is not at all hard to believe what people will pay for things. Trust me on this.
