Ten years from now you’ll be able to buy all the Modern Masters singles your heart desires, possibly for a good bit cheaper than they are today, but sealed boxes should still hold more value as a collector’s item and draft product. If you show someone a stack of Modern Masters cards worth $300, and then point to a sealed box of Modern Masters and guarantee someone that the exact same cards are inside, they’ll opt to take the sealed box every single time. Sealed product especially so should benefit from this, as there is value in the package as a draft experience and giant lottery ticket. While tournament cards are often subjected to more tempermental swings, casual fodder picks up percentage point after percentage point as they age. Yet, working against that is the immutable law of nature that useful and desired Magic cards slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) rise in price without other forces acting upon them. We know there’s going to be some Modern reprints, we just don’t which yet. Well it turns out Eternal Masters is real. Add to that that the rumor mill is churning about the appearance of an Eternal Masters set, (something which I remain quite suspicious of), and you can see why the threat of reprints is getting scary. Repeated key reprints could keep the value of a box suppressed for over five years if you were unlucky. Most of the cards in this set are durable and enduring, such as Arcbound Ravager, but each reprint tacks on months or years before it climbs back to its original price point. Reprints grow more likely by the day, which could slash prices on key cards for a period of time. That’s an anniversary four months from now. We’re now nearly three years past the printing of Modern Masters, which hit store shelves on June 7th, 2013. It got me thinking about sealed boxes of the original Modern Masters. While I was mostly aggrieved that they got to crack sweet packs and fill up my timeline with it while I did nothing of the sort, it wasn’t all for nought. If you follow my buddies James Chillcott mtgcritic) or Jeremy Aaranson xemitsellsmagic) on Twitter, you may have caught their incessant tweeting about all the various Modern Masters packs they’ve been opening lately.
