Two kinds of writing sit here, and every card says which it is. Measured pieces are data reports: every figure in them is computed from the TCGplayer price snapshot and re-checked against the source data on every build. Demo pieces are illustrative content written by fictional personas to fill the templates — the market events they describe did not happen. See About & Disclaimers.
Data ReportMeasuredOrigins boxes trade at $275.22 and Unleashed at $155.03. Here is how those figures sit against each set's singles — and why the comparison is not an expected value.
Data ReportMeasuredA market price needs a market. Forty-three printings priced at $50 or more currently have two active listings or fewer, and several of the site's headline figures have none at all.
Data ReportMeasuredTCGplayer publishes both a market price and a listed median. Across cards above $5, the median asking price sits 1.42× above market — and on the thinnest cards it reaches 4.88×.
Hidden GemsDemoEveryone 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 ReportDemoOrder 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 WinnersDemoThe 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 ReviewDemoSpirit 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 GemsDemoEvery Battlefield in this catalogue is an Uncommon, and every one of them trades above five dollars. The rarity symbol is lying to you.
