How much is a complete set of unlimited, missing the p9, dual lands and time vault (282/302) cards worth? I've been looking into something like this and a couple of auctions completed on eBay recently but I don't know if those were high, low or whatnot. Any opinions?
two completed auctions over several months...not sure if those prices are outliers or the norm. this isnt exactly a standard item, hence im looking for some opinions
Random Unlimited rares aren't actually worth all that much, maybe $1 - $2 for stuff like Aspect of Wolf or Helm of Chatzuk. Still, even without the duals, p9, and time vault, there's quite a few valuable rares. Chaos Orb ($50), forcefield($100), gauntlet of might ($100), illusionary mask ($80)- they're all not cheap either. And you still got other rares like BoP($35), ***($25), Lich($30), Cyclopean Tomb($25), Word of Command($40). And then there's Berserk($50), Sinkhole ($30), Ice Storm($10), Demonic Tutor($15), Sol Ring($15). When all is said and done, you're probably looking at $1,000 if you spend a lot of hours trying to piece it together off Ebay a card at a time, more if you get it from a shop. Those are all near mint prices though, and you'll find played cards that are not the chase rares to be significantly cheaper, like 1/4 on played Unl BoPs and such.
I see that completed auction went for $760. If the cards were Near Mint, then I'd say that's pretty good deal, but then you're kind of roped into having to get NM power and duals to finish it off. But you save time and money on shipping by having it all in one bunch, and that's pretty significant. If those cards are played, then you could probably do better getting it piece-mealed. I've picked up unl played Bops for $8 off ebay, and a chaos orb for $30, so you can do it that way and probably not break the bank too bad, but it will be time consuming, and you might get killed on shipping, especially picking up quarter commons.
