Yearly Winners 2023: Cheapest Prints (Part 4)

05 Jan

by Arjen

On the first two days of the year we posted three articles in this year's Yearly Winners series, and posted them on social media to get a conversation and discussion going around them. The previous articles are:

As always, I try to listen to what the community has to say, as long as feedback is constructive. Some opinions are more nuanced than others, but some great points were made. For example, in the first article, we see a lot of cards recently released and especially all the special variants in them. I left those in on purpose, because I do feel it paints a picture of Wizards churning out so many special prints, they quickly lose value after release. But it seems like the community was also interested in a more currated list.

One of the suggestions was a list of all cards, like the first article, but excluding cards printed in 2023. Another one, which I found more interesting, is a similar list but only based on the cheapest print of a card. For example, the Borderless version of from went up by a bunch and is now listed for $6000. But the cheapest version is only $35. So we'll leave out all versions of this card, and only look at the trend from this cheapest version over 2023. You'll notice that there are still alternate versions of cards on these lists, but sometimes Extended Art or Borderless versions are cheaper than their regular print. We also only consider prints that are tournament legal.

In this article you'll find four tables, consisting of the following information:

Top 100 winners by average price
Top 100 losers by average price
Top 100 winners by market price
Top 100 losers by market price
