As Modern and Legacy came crashing down by the onslaught of reprints, you also saw the vintage market exploding in real time. I’ve always seen the buylist as a safety net, not as a profit margin, which allowed me to keep investing without going negative on liquidity. But in reality the reason I bought that Force of Nature from Alpha and decided to keep it is because it had one of the coolest artwork of the entire set. I wanted to keep it. The price it was selling for at the time felt like a bargain. When it comes to Magic or any other collectible I’m playing the long game. Once you buy it there’s no turning back, and hope it was the right pick.
