My latest purchases from them were an Alpha Counterspell and an Ali from Cairo, both solid mints at very reasonable value. The big problem are those who grade cheap vintage cards and inflate their prices to hundreds of dollars hoping to artificially raise the value, making it difficult for buyers who are out there looking for reasonable value and for the honest vendors trying to do good pricing. They also shut out the newer players who would love to explore the market but are unfamiliar with vintage, only to find that an Alpha Castle is not nearly worth the $500 dollars they’re trying to sell them for. The price gouging is definitely stalling the market.

It’s impressive to me that Cardkingdom has managed to stay on top for so long.
