If so, any idea when it was added or why?
That is new. Seems like the poor PucaPower guy has hit another wall. It is dangerous, with a significant risk of getting ripped off. But I haven't heard of anyone actually being scammed.
I was surprised when I first heard it wasn't prohibited a year ago. It may scare people if they can't dump their PP for cash.
I have bought about $75 in pp from several different members and have never had a problem, although I could see how easily it would be to rip someone off. I am sure that rule is in place to protect people from getting ripped off. Puca is pretty big on protecting its members.
I could definitely see that new rule slowing down trades though.
Anything from alpha or beta is fair game, as are most of the portal (I, II and III) and starter 1999 basics. Next to that are a lot of the zendikar normal art lands (the ones that came with the fatpacks). And of course the obvious arabian nights mountain.......
- 2 Mirage Island (unnumbered)
- Scars of Mirrodin Island (235)
- Ninth Edition Island (337)
Is anybody else having issues with Pucatrade at the moment? I had a bunch of potential trades (easily between 150-200) last night but when I checked this morning there were maybe 10 trades available. Some specific cards that had 20+ wants were Sword of Feast and Famine and Collected Company. There are also only five cards now with a value under 50 PP. I just find this very strange.
Edit - Everything seems to have reset and all of the available trades from last night are back.

Can anyone explain why Karn Liberated from MM15 has the same price in foil and normal printing? I checked on TCGplayer and the foil is only a few bucks more than the regular version. It seems very odd.
The foil actually has an inherent misprint issue. I don't know if that is part of the problem, but I sent mine to WotC for a good one and they sent me one with the same issue.

he specifically asked to omit them from the list
On another note, the dutch postal offices (POSTnl)have decided to once more increase the prices for their services making trading abroad more and more expensive, with an absolutely obscene increase in international tracking and suddenly a demand on international packages to be declared. This makes trading low end cards not profitable anymore and high end cards possible subject to import taxes...... leaving only that sweet spot for 4-10 dollar cards to be sent profitably.
Does anybody here know of alternatives to Postnl for shipping (assuming there are other dutchies on this forum)....

What is the misprint? Is it the set symbol? A lot of MM2 foils have an off-kilter set symbol, not just Karn.

Yes it is the set symbol. I have a lot of MM15 foils and he is the only one I have seen with it, and it has been every Karn I have seen. Would be interested to know the others.
In the US, we have FedEx and UPS, which are independent of USPS (United States Postal Service). Are either of those 2 in the Netherlands?
Yes, they are in the netherlands, but using their services is even more absurdly expensive with the cheapest starting at 60 euros for a padded envelope with delivery confirmation....
What's going on w/ MM Relic of Progenitus? I imagine this is going on w/ all of the printings too. The TCGMid of the MM version is around $5.00, yet the PP's value is still 300. It has even dropped in the past couple days from 351-ish PP's to where it is now, 300. The fluctuation in points mean that it has a heartbeat (it moves and is alive).
Do the evaluators of cards skittish of price jumps that much that even after showing about 5 days of stability, the price still hasn't budged much? This is why there are still a lot of Relic's to grab still; the points have come to the threshold of at least near tcgmid.

It should be pointed out that the price seems to have stabilized around $3 each on ebay (as far as playsets go at the very least), so seeing it at 300 points on puca certainly seems to make sense to some degree. The reality is that with the existing printings its almost guaranteed that there are a ton of those still out there, and honestly $3 each seems like a reasonable price for it to settle at with existing demand and supply able to keep up with it likely for a while.

No, I do not think that is it. I have been paying close attention to the relationship between tcgmid and Puca Trade. They are usually on par w/ one another. When a card jumps and the price stabilizes at a certain dollar amount, PT catches up. Not happening here- so far. Which is why no one is sending out their Relic's yet. What I can't figure out is why, for this particular card, are they not bringing up to speed?
Perhaps you only having 13 points has something to do with it ;P
But I'm with you. Can't seem to get a Douse or Wrath of Marit Lage to save my life, might just have to suck it up and find a reason to make a TCGPlayer order.
On another note, finally got the sweet Sinkhole Island from BFZ in foil. Aww yeah.

Haha, nah, it's not that! I've constantly had between 200 and 2000 points on my account for the past few months. I would say it's because they're so cheap but I've had many people send me sub $1 commons/uncommons/rares. I had one guy send me a .40 card all the way from Afghanistan because apparently he was stationed over there and getting free shipping so he was just sending out as many envelopes as he could.
I've been trying to pick up foil copies of BFZ Forest 271 and BFZ Mountain 269 for my EDH deck. I managed to get one of the Mountains but no one has sent me the foil forest yet. Not a single copy and I still have like 7 to go. Sigh. XD.

The foil full-arts are going to be hard to come by. I think a lot of people are just holding them since they know they will increase in value. You probably have to offer a bonus to get them.
Yes it is the set symbol. I have a lot of MM15 foils and he is the only one I have seen with it, and it has been every Karn I have seen. Would be interested to know the others.
Just got home and checked my foils. Karn and Tezz are both offset. I don't have a ton of foils from MMII, but I'd guess that it's just the planeswalkers. But I knew that it was more than just Karn.

I get the feeling that PucaTrade is becoming less and less the place for older cards. Even ones not heavily in demand. I've had Raging River on my wants list for about a year now, along with some other older obscure cards.
That is new. Seems like the poor PucaPower guy has hit another wall. It is dangerous, with a significant risk of getting ripped off. But I haven't heard of anyone actually being scammed.
I was surprised when I first heard it wasn't prohibited a year ago. It may scare people if they can't dump their PP for cash.

Reality is only what man allows it to be. Few shape it so that many may accept it.
What basic lands are out there that are Ice Age to the present, that are 50 points or more?
Please, NO:
- Promo
- Supplemental sets
- Foils
- Full art
- Snow
I'm always trying to maximize what I can send out.
