Mailbag #2 is here. Two weeks ago I mentioned the Warhammer 40K Commander reprint rumor, and this episode has the update, which is what multiple distributors and stores keep telling me about order sheets, with nothing official yet. From there Jennifer pulls a month of the sharpest comments on Magic: The Gathering finance, Commander, and the secondary market, and I answer all 20 with no dodges, including whether presale prices mean anything and the follow-ups to last episode's question about whether my videos move prices.
Also in here: where my price numbers come from, why the same Reality Fracture Commander deck sold for anywhere from $25 to $45 depending on the store, when to sell a surge foil One Ring or a Mindstone, why I bought eight copies of Stock Up, the Secret Lair buy-two-sell-one debate Jennifer wanted to cut, whether $500 collector boxes are the new normal, and what I would put in a hypothetical Joel Are Magic Secret Lair. Plus the draft night trick that gets you a collector booster without paying collector booster prices, and surge Yishtola's run from $600 down to $473 and back up to $1,214.
Drop your question in the comments and it might get pulled for Mailbag #3.
