This tough grading is especially true for just above bulk played cards, so CFB is probably not the place to send your 100 played Mogg Fanatics for $0.05 each (this is because cards with a buylist price of less than $0.05 are counted as bulk commons ($3/thousand) if in played condition). They buy pretty much everything, including foils and promos and are typically paying a fair price. The downside I've found is that their grading can be tough-ish, with a multiplier of 0.73 (I expect to get 73 percent of the quoted price on a mixed condition lot of cards). ChannelFireballĬhannelFireball has first class customer service befitting of their status as an industry leader and offer prompt payments with a 30 percent store credit bonus. The grading multiplier (the amount I expect to get after grading deductions when selling a random, mixed condition collection of cards) I use for Card Kiingdom is 0.78, and almost every order (out of the 100+ in the past few years) has come in between 0.80 and 0.76. It doesn’t matter if it's a signed Revised dual or a signed Storm Crow, don’t even try it – they will send it back. Of note is the fact that they will not buy any (non-promo/duel deck) foils, and will not buy any signed cards (even with a condition deduction). They are among the most consistent graders, and although they do not have a published grading chart, they seem to grade cards in a manner similar to myself and most players I know – if you think it looks SP, Card Kingdom is probably going to grade it SP, if you think it looks NM, they are probably going to grade it NM, etc. This is especially important if you “go deep” on a cheap bulk level spec. Here's a brief summary of my experiences with these three vendors: Card KingdomĬard Kingdom has solid customer service, however, unlike some buylists, once you ship your cards they belong to Card Kingdom unless you specifically ask them to contact you before sending your payment (for instance, to let you know about grading deductions).Īnother great thing about Card Kingdom is that they often purchase the highest number of any specific card (seriously, today they are in the market for 193 copies of Monastery Swiftspear). Last fall I published the Great Buylist Review on Reddit based on my experience sending hundreds of order to various buylists including ABU, CardKingdom, and ChannelFireball.

I have a ton of personal buylisting experience with all of the vendors listed on the site they are all very reliable and pay quickly so I have no worries sending any of them hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of cards - with reputable vendors like these it's as good as money in the bank. The most obvious benefit of buylist prices (which can be found by using the toggle button underneath the list of vendor prices) is that they tell you how much you can sell your cards for, right now, today, for cash.

Understanding how they work, what they mean, and how to take advantage of them is one of the most important parts of making money in the Magic card game. As such, today we are going to be discussing these tools and how best we can use them. These are some of the most fundamental tools of MTG finance. This is not to mention the expanded selection of buylist prices including ChannelFireball, ABUGames, and my personal favorite CardKingdom. That's right, as of yesterday we have a ton of new data to work with including the spread, foil multiplier, and all-time highs/lows. Take a look at the Brainstorm page, notice anything different?
#Decked builder track foils update#
Then, just yesterday, there was an update that is very exciting, especially for those of you (who like me) are interested in the financial aspect of the game. Over the past several months SuperBrew was added and the Tiny Leaders metagame page was born. One of the most exciting things about writing for MTGGoldfish is that the site is always improving.
