Question 1

How do I find out what my Magic card is worth?

Accepted Answer

Search the card name here to see its current market value in USD, plus the foil price where it exists. The same card can be worth very different amounts depending on the set it was printed in and whether it is foil, so check that the set and printing match your copy. Prices are pulled live, so they reflect the current market.

Question 2

Why is the same card worth different amounts?

Accepted Answer

Value depends on the set and printing, the rarity, the condition, and whether it is foil. An old or limited printing of a card can be worth many times a recent reprint of the same card. Foils usually carry a premium. Always match the exact set and foiling to your physical card for an accurate figure.

Question 3

Does condition affect a Magic card's value?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a lot. Market prices generally assume Near Mint condition. A played, scratched or creased card can be worth a fraction of a Near Mint copy, while a graded gem-mint card can be worth much more. The prices shown are a live market guide for a good-condition copy.

Question 4

Where should I sell my Magic cards?

Accepted Answer

For single valuable cards, TCGplayer and eBay reach the most buyers and let you see completed sale prices. For bulk, a local game store buylist is faster but pays less. Check the live value here first so you know roughly what a card should fetch before you sell.
