    A key point you didn't touch on and is extremely relevant at least as far as Modern and Standard cards/products are concerned is power creep. Modern Horizons 2 devastated the financial value of certain cards, arguably even more so than high clip reprinting because they're obsolete now.
    What we're seeing is that if cards aren't reserved list or seeing play at competitive tables they're not holding value.
    Yes, reprints definitely affect this market too, looking at you Enemy Fetch Lands, and now Shock Lands, but cards like Karn Liberated, Snapcaster Mage, Dark Confidant, Tarmogoyf etc...dropped heavily at release of Ultimate Masters but rebounded.
    They're now "cheap" because Modern Horizons 2 printed cards that are more powerful and rendered them mostly obsolete, and they aren't played consistently anymore.
    Modern cards have value when they're played at the competitive tables, and since Wotc/Hasbro can print more powerful cards bypassing Standard entirely that's where the lack of consumer confidence kicks in.

      None of the finance channels ever go into gameplay because they don't play the game. It's the entire reason for tcg's to have value and its almost always left out of the conversation

      When everyone is collecting no one is playing if no one plays no nostalgic connection can be made which means the future Forest of growth gets stunted. Also Tarmogoyf has one of the saddest prices crashes in all of magic at one point that was a 200+ dollar card.

      @@vintagemagic You don't. When the player base and subsequently consumer base is keenly aware that a company's cares more about making short term profits than long term growth by injecting cards directly into formats it's akin to strip mining...when the mine runs dry it's over.

      Agree that this is huge. But I calculate they are printing over 100 times more rares than just 5 years ago due to the Preconstructed decks. Nobody is mentioning how bad those reprints are. They're worse than the sets.

    Most Pokémon committed youtubers say Pokémon brand be obsolete in some timeline like 50-150 years. Will be unclear will the peak of that collectible (Pokémon) happen during our lifetime. Same is mostly said by more objective parties that collectibles are extremely hard to be multigenerational stuff and we are seeing this in mtg. Most collectors it's best to sell during their lifetime.

    Hasbro has been trying to be the market maker and pushing product onto customers. They need to learn that the market is made by the customers. If the product is good the customers will pull the product from the market. The pull causes an increase in demand and then market prices go up.
    When the company pushes product they are basically putting it out there at an elevated price, trying to not leave any money on the table, and telling players that they should buy the product because it is expensive and is worth something on the market and therefore collectible. This tactic eventually causes resentment when the player buys a product at an elevated price and then the value goes down. A customer will only go through this cycle so many times before they give up on the product entirely.
    What Hasbro is going to find is that once they lose a customer that it is extremely expensive to get that customer back and if Hasbro doesn't do something fast to buy those customers back it is going to be the end of them. This goes for MTG, the action figures, and D&D.

    Also I regards to the grading video pgc is a joke. Rudy makes videos bashing grading company's saying lgs don't want your graded cards just to flip his stands and by a meme percentage of a company 69% majority even his ownership percentage is a joke. Which rudy has been using to over charge his bundles. Rudys stands is a text book definition of hypocritical.

    So the issue is all the new players have been influenced by the rise of streamers which have killed the game in hope that they will be one of the few bragging about their vintage collection. Maybe insted of price graphs and speculations maybe talk about the game play and since most can't afford new magic the newer generation is going to the reprints....you know yougioh in the last now 4 years has reprinted prize cards like aa zeus 6 more times but hey wotc is the problem eh it's not like fab has reprinted fryadel spring tunic 4-5 times already....
