There is another article where they talk about Korean coming out a bit later than other languages and coming out at the same time with Dark Ascension, if I remember correctly.
I thought I read that the Korean print runs were going to be similar in size to Japanese print runs.
I really doubt it, since there are obviously less Korean players than Japanese ones. The print run is flexible to keep up with the demand, and I doubt the Koreans will do the same number of drafts than the Japanese, who outnumber them 3 to 1.
So out of two fat packs and a booster box my playgroup pulled three snapcaster mages. Are numbers like this similar with other people out there? Seems like there is no way the value can stay this high for any amount of time if that quantity of them are out there.

If you read some of the other threads, there are some who cracked more packs and got 1 - 0. You have to wonder when the price will settle given that SCM is just a rare. $18 - 20 may take a month or two.

Yes a reiclious amount of them have been pulled in my area. Liliana on the other hand seams to be a real pain to pull.

Not sure about Liliana. Out of one box and a fat pack my buddy pulled two Lilianas, two Geists, and zero Snapcasters. My box had a Liliana, a Garruk, a Geist, and one Snapcaster. Garruk and Geist were in the same frickin' booster
As someone who has openned up 100 boxes allready (still lots to go) I can verify for 100% certainty that the distribution of the rares/mythics is normal for the set. The odds of pulling a particular rare are about 1 in 1 2/3rds boxes, and the odds of pulling a particular mythic are 1 in 3 1/3 boxes. Same as always. Some cases may have more of certain cards, some cases may have less, but it averages out correctly overall. Some people getting more of a card, and some people getting less is 100% normal, and not anything to worry about (though obviously irritating for the unlucky folk out there).
As fior snapcaster mage specifically. It sold reasonably well the first day, but none since then. I think people are expecting it to drop and many are holding off. The price seems fairly stable at the moment, unlike something like liliana which keeps rising, so I have a feeling within a month or two we will see snapcaster drop to $20 or lower and could drop further depending on how well it actually managed to do in tournaments.
I have 7 SCM (by opening packs and getting advantageous trades). I plan to keep 4 for play, but the other 3, should I trade them away now, wait, or keep them at all until a few years and hope for a tarmogoyf-like hype?
I say trade them. I don't think they can hold the current price tag by any means. Trade them if you can get a little premium too
You should trade away Snapcaster Mage right now unless you personally need them. More-or-less every Blue deck at SCG this weekend was playing Snapcaster Mage, and that will probably influence the players in another week at States.
Kinda feel dumb not just buying them for $13 to make some loot...o well

You're just bragging right? I mean, that's very obviously a good trade since Jace will always be worth at least what he is now and Snapcaster will be dropping to $20 or below in the next few months.
You had more than one? I'm pretty sure you traded it to me for a Liliana and a Snapcaster.
Maybe he traded the Snappy to someone else for a Liliana, thus getting 2 Liliana for the FOIL Snappy?

Tiago Chan's probably pretty pumped that his card's going for so much. But it's a bittersweet victory because they made him look like Grant from Mythbusters.
I'm thinking of trading the snapcaster I got from my box for 2x Koth and a Hero of Oxid ridge. I can't see his value going up over time, for all the reasons stated in this thread. I figure it's best to trade/sell into the hype, trading for proven and stable cards.

Is this just a brag post? That trade is WAY in your favor...
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
There seems to be consensus that snapcaster will go down in the short run, but what of the long term? From what I understand, this card is already a limited staple and limited staples typically go up in value after a while. Assuming they don't reprint snapcaster, can we expect it to grow in price in five years similar to goyf?

Wait..you have time for them to settle in price ..unless you really want them now..just read this thread
You made like a thief in the night, very good trade and very well timed. Both liliana and snapper are good for eternal formats.
