My lord, Any idea on what this might go for? I have personally never seen a PSA 10 alpha lotus auctioned. It is pop 3 apparently.

I know a CGC pristine sold privately for $3m apparently a year ago, might this beat that sale?

Hobbit Previews for today so far (first one is possibly questionable since it's a "leak" not official spoiler)

Fateful Discovery is a leak not an official spoiler, but I think the most interesting/has the most potential of what we've seen so far maybe? Those are ALL artifacts, not non-token artifacts. Anything that cranks out treasures (of which there are quite a few already revealed in this set alone) also drawing a card for each one is pretty good I would think?

This site has the name listed as a real revealed card, so I think it's legit:

https://butwhytho.net/2026/05/live-from-magiccon-las-vegas-preview-panel/

The box topper reprints continue to have fantastic art. I'm sure people will be extremely rational/normal about the two new cards with Aragorn. [[Palantir of Orthanc]] was obviously going to happen, as was [[Aragorn the Uniter]].

Still waiting for any sign of a Nazgul, at this point unless the numbering system is totally off for this set there's officially no chance of nine Nazgul arts in the bonus sheet.

And with only a few slots left in the bonus slot, it's clear that there are going to be several substantial LOTR cards that won't be showing up. There's only room for one more black card for example, so if that's Nazgul that means no [[Witch-King of Angmar]] (notable due to the poster card being $200+). Genuinely shocked that they reprinted the one from the starter sets instead of that one. Unless they will actually do two Witch-kings and no Nazgul, or the numbering system won't hold up this time.

Actually technically there's room for either one more black card or two black cards and zero more white cards. But there's zero chance they aren't re-printing [[Gandalf the White]] I think. So it's either Nazgul or two Witch-kings.

Anyway you cut it, at this point it looks like several of the poster cards won't be getting reprints.

It also looks like a lot of the scene box cards won't get reprints. And several high value scrolls cards won't either. But we'll have all the box toppers by the end of the week I think so I'll wait to comment more on that until we actually know for sure what we have/don't have.

Particularly interested in what people think of Fateful Discovery, assuming it's real.

since they only gonna be in 3% of collector boosters, what do you think will the more desirable ones (mainly Mox Amber and Arcane Signet) go for?

Personally im hoping i can get a Mox Amber for 200€ or less

Question Secrets of Strixhaven precon prices still higher than expected on secondary market?

13 Upvotes

Long time follower, been tracking prices of SOS precons since release. I’ve noticed that their MSRP is roughly $50-55, depending on store. However, the discounts or deals on them haven’t really appeared yet, at least not to the extent as Lorwyn or TMNT precon price drops. Lorwyn I found the decks for as low as 20$ and TMNT reaching slightly less than a 50% decrease (from roughly $75 to $40).

Why haven’t the SOS precons reached that level of decrease yet, i.e., in the 20s of dollars instead of still being in the 30s? None of them contain the collector booster sample so there’s no value to be gained by buying the deck for the sample and reselling a deck-only product.

Best Buy CBB pre-order timing

New to collecting MTG and missed the Amazon pre-order. When should I expect the Star Trek CBBs to go up for pre-order on Best Buy? Any other retailers to watch for boxes at MSRP? Thanks.

Are The Hobbit Box Toppers going to be in collector boosters?

As the title says, with no commander precons I’d imagine the commander card slot will hit the scene box’s value and potentially the box toppers.

Thank you
