I knew earlier in the year that something like that might happen, but I didn’t expect the set to be almost completely gone by now. I think people were on the same page when they saw the pandemic as the perfect buying opportunity. To me it’s further proof of how strong the market is despite of things. I’m very happy to have snatched City in a Bottle back then when I did. I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of the mint. Unless there’s a significant flaw I’ve failed to notice, I’m almost certain that this is a 9.5 grade and a potential 10. It definitely looks like it hasn’t been touched and seems like Card Kingdom is using gloves to handle them. If that turns out to be the case, that’s three or four times the value of what I paid. I think paper Magic will be fine.

However, I do want to mention that the $6.99 MSRP you mention is for Magic Online only, WOTC no longer uses an MSRP for paper. Otherwise another great article.
