Title: Anafenza foil speculation help
Post by: DirtyMustachio on February 28, 2015, 07:18:41 PM
{anafenza, the foremost}

I was wondering if you guys think it will go up? I mean tiny leaders, and it's a good card I hit a foil today but I feel it is worth more what do yall think?

Would you pay for more at $15 each? I recently bought 15 anax and cymede foils for tiny leaders speccn

Unfortunately the anax and cymede were the promo cards in the Hero  vz. Monsters and that was relatively   shortly ago so I doubt that the prices would skyrocket too much.
I will take the chance for $20 on 11 pack foil.

I don't know if I would start collecting unless I knew, but I did hit one yesterday and I more or less also wonder if I'm going to lose out on trading it now. I kinda like it anyway I just don't know where it will go

He was reprinted yes, but not in foil form. Speccing for TL/EDH is all about foils.

Unless you can buy out every non foil copy & raise the price by $30-$50

Aye, wish they could've been pulled off in standard

So I looked, there's only 24 anafenza foils on tcg

That doesn't include the promos but there aren't many of those either.

Let's say it cost me 300$-400$ to buy all the foils out.

What do you think would happen.

Like you said it's mainly tiny leaders and commander driving the foil price right ?

I know she gets played in standard and I'm not sure about the modern Abzan.

She is most likely a good tiny leader candidate.

So if I'm willing to buy them all do you think it would be a smart move, or am I asking for impossible information ?

I think that's the right way to look at it. How many more will be opened isn't necessarily known, players who have them most likely are using them right now or will hold onto them. She's very popular for abzan Aggro too currently. So removing the 30-50 avail (including promos) you will definitely cause a jolt.

If you can buy stock do it imo.

I prolly spent about 100 recently on TL speccing, recently buying out all foil copies available for a commander & 15 copies of foil commanders. One avg'd 6-7 per card and the others were $1 and $1.20 per card.


With hope, the $1 cards rise to $5 over time or more & the $7 card rises to at least $25. Then slowly seed them back in at a tempting rate for people to buy em out as I list em.

Good luck with your choice sir

Just out of curiosity should that mean I should buy into the star city games copies as well?

I would say yes if you can as that's also a major venue , consider eBay bin also

I mean if you got a fat tax return you potentially want to increase...
