SpeculationStarred and lettered variants are supposed to carry a premium over their base printings. In this catalogue they do so barely half the time, and the exceptions are not random.
Hidden GemsEveryone priced the Spirit Forged Showcase Legends on release and then stopped looking. The set's Epic and Uncommon tiers are still trading at opening levels.
Meta ReportOrder has no Showcase Legend anywhere in the tracked catalogue. Its most expensive card is a Rune, and that single structural fact explains most of its price behaviour.
Weekly WinnersThe Origins Epic tier had its best week of the summer, led by the Chaos cards. The spread between the top Epic and the median one is now uncomfortably wide.
Set ReviewSpirit Forged is the flattest set on the board, with no printing above the low hundreds and a remarkably even distribution beneath. That is unusual and probably temporary.
Hidden GemsEvery Battlefield in this catalogue is an Uncommon, and every one of them trades above five dollars. The rarity symbol is lying to you.
SpeculationFive Legends in this catalogue exist as ordinary Rares. They are liquid, cheap relative to their Showcase counterparts, and nobody writes about them. That is the whole thesis.
Meta ReportBody has the shortest top-end run of any coloured domain and the flattest distribution beneath it. That combination usually precedes a repricing.
