RE: An investment which is a bit out there
This is too old to vote but I can comment anyway.
For investment of sealed boxes I can give you a little advice.
I bought a few boxes from the Khans block in 2014. They cost me around £55-£60 UK. I sold a couple of them recently for £120.
That's 100% profit but I had to wait 5 years or so. It's still viable as long as the game is played cardboard style.
The power nine are out of reach now. I sold my last Unlimited Black Lotus for £140 in 1997. Makes me sick thinking about it.
that is still 20% a year which is pretty good.
Was it easy to sell?
My timeframe was 4 years till I can liquidat but if it takes 5 I would not mind.
Bought War of the sparks and modern horizon. The plan was to sell enough so I get my capital back and can freeroll with the rest.
It is more an experiment than an actual investment I guess.
Did you continue to buy sealed products?
They took a couple of weeks on ebay. After 5 years you have little competition. Fate Reforged is popular but likely just due to a couple of expensive mythics in the set. You can pull fetch lands in in this set too.
It's still feasible to do it. I would wait until barely nobody has them for sale. The cards will rise in prices eventually due to scarcity, same with sealed product.
Not any more, though I have thousands of rares and mythics all of which I would sell for the right price.
I keep an eye on https://www.mtgstocks.com/interests to see what is spiking and the unload a playset on ebay. It seems to work well.
Eg.. I have a bunch of Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, I need to list some.. it's gone up a lot lately.
