Interests of 2014: Top lists
It's not often that I decide to actually post something read-worthy on MTGStocks. But, I had a small conversation on Twitter where people indicated that interests over an entire year is something they would love to see. This has led me to have a look into the database, and provide you with the top 250 largest risers and top 250 largest decliners over 2014.
Before I present you with the numbers, and the (way too large) tables, I will tell a little bit about how this data was deducted. I first checked, for every card, the price on January 1st 2014. If for some reason this price did not exist (for example cards that simply weren't printed yet), I took the first known price of that year. So, if for example, the first known price is in September (like a card from KTK), I used that one. Then I looked at the price of December 31st. If this price did not exist, I took the last price known in December. If that price is below $2.00, the card is too cheap to even consider.
From these differences, I created the following top 250 tables. However, I left out all sets that are excluded from the daily interests lists by default. Also I manually removed a few outliers, like basic lands.
The tables with the top risers and decliners of 2014 can be found here.
More from Arjen:
We've got cards from Commander, Premodern, and Legacy moving up this week. The best weeks are the ones with a lot of diversity!
This week our spikes are all Commander related. Interesting to see how much of an impact Obeka has on several card prices.
Plenty of cards to talk about for various reasons. And our first spike from the Clue Edition is a fact!
This week is all about Universes Beyond: Fallout. The set proves to be very popular, and people are upgrading their precon decks.
The Fallout set has been hitting the market, and it shows. Most cards are moving because of cards from there. Oh yeah, and we have Bobbleheads!
There's a lot going on around Modern, and each of our winners at least mention the format. But there are two winners that seem to be directly linked to it.
Quite the mix this week, so make sure you don't miss this one. Cards are moving because of Commander, Pioneer, Standard, Modern, and Legacy!
We have Pioneer and we have Commander. Come look at what the top decks in the Pro Tour have done to the prices!
This was a fun week, with cards spiking from Pioneer, Standard, and Commander. Are you ready for the Boros Convoke deck?
This week has it all! Modern, Standard, Pioneer, and Commander. Karlov Manor is definitely starting to impact prices.
