Last weekend Sig had an opportunity to attend Grand Prix Columbus. Despite being a Limited event, he still made some valuable observations regarding the high-end market worth being aware of.

Fallen Empires has always been neglected due to its large print run and lack of power. But is the set really so irrelevant? This week Sig takes a closer look and shares his appreciation for this classic.
These days every Magic investment is working, whether it’s an Alpha common or a Masterpiece. Sig takes a closer look this week and shares his perspective on the trend and potential pitfalls.
The top-moving card last week on MTG Stocks was…Revised Shivan Dragon! Why are Revised cards suddenly rising in price? Sig does some digging to find out.
Reprints seem to follow a predictable trajectory every time. Sig examines the three stages of a reprint’s price curve and identifies some cards that may be solid pickups right now.
Buylisting is often financially suboptimal, but that doesn’t make it a bad idea. Sig explains why buylisting can be the right move even if it leaves a buck or two on the table.
Rather than dwell on a single topic from MTG finance this week, Sig shares a few headlines worth following: something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
In 2012 Sig wrote about a trend in Alpha rares he had discovered. Six years later, he considers how the article has aged and makes some bold predictions about Magic‘s first set.
With everyone talking about Masters 25, other important headlines are falling into the background. Sig looks at the other major stories that can help you make money in the coming months.
Unplayable old cards are jumping like crazy. Rather than question the trend, Sig advocates taking advantage by converting those Rebirths and Voodoo Dolls into staples.
Last year’s run on the Reserved List brought newfound profits to a previously unexplored space. This year the same profits are being realized on other rares from Magic’s earliest sets. But what’s the best way to sell these unplayable cards?
Last week was a volatile one for the stock market, which begs the question: will such a sudden drop impact Magic prices? Sig looks back in history to investigate.
After seeing more Pauper cards spike last week, Sig realized he was missing out on some real profits. Now he is applying his TCGplayer methodology to try and get ahead of the next buyout.
