Most valueable card

[ununtrium]

I think it is very hard to say which card is the most valuable, because there are lots and lots of cards that cannot be priced since they are hardly being sold and are simply off the radar of most people.

I am collecting foil sets 1-10 and many cards I am looking for simply do not show up or are buried in bulk deals when people sell off their collections. Those that still take an interest in the game are after the later sets and promos whereas the cards from the movie block are by and large impossible to price. Once in a blue moon someone like me comes along who is looking for a particular card from those sets apart from the very few prestigious chase rares.

The same is probably true for the price of complete foil sets. They are being sold not very often so prices for those are all over the place as well, since so few people are actually aware of them. It is just too bad that the foils are so scattered and pretty hard to compile 

I don't know where that leaves us. We'll probably know more if decipher relaunches the game when The Hobbit opens in theaters...

I know what you mean by "lesser" cards sometimes being harder to find. You mentioned STCCG in another thread; eBay / online stores have pretty much every 1E rare imaginable, but commons/uncommons have been insanely difficult to find. I was half joking to myself that if I wanted to load up my Battle Bridge side deck with Plasma Torpedo, it might've been easier to scoop up the promo foils on eBay, rather than hunt down the regular Blaze of Glory commons (but sanity won out). Thankfully someone on TCC was able to help me out with my wants.

On the LotR side, I've been searching for Green Hill Country foil on eBay for 2 years. Might've missed it, but I'm starting to think opening up the page one day and landing on it will be a miracle.

You guys are so right... sometimes the rarest rares and promos are right on our face, we just don't have what it takes to trade them or buy them, but it can be found. But there are those stupid cards nobody cares but you want for some reason and you just can't find it

Oh yes, the infamous Tactic commons from BoG. I got used to playing with proxies. It may not be pretty, but it works. And it beats the time and trouble hunting down those commons.

Cheers!

P.S.: Elessar'S Socks, if you pm me your address, you just might get in the mail what you are looking for on ebay....
