I collect rare basic lands. I have everything I want except the "judge foil" set. I had intended to get the foil Unstable basics, but was dismayed to find them already at a price equal or exceeding the price of Unhinged foil basics. I thought it would take several years to reach that point. I was wondering if this price point is temporary and they are expected to come down, or if I should buy them now as it won't get any better.
Its not going to get better, They are 1 per CASE (6 boxes) of product. The demand is unreal for these things They are basicly masterpieces un eddition and will likely be priced/treated as Highly playable masterpieces. buy now these things are not going anywhere but up for the next few years.

Well, not quite. From a long-term perspective, yes. They're a safe buy and the price next year will be higher than the price right now. However, it's the first week of release. More product is getting opened, and especially for an UN-set, we can't expect everyone to open everything immediately. I would look for deals between Christmas and New Years as more supply hits the market and the initial demand wears off. Even the Masterpieces lost a fair amount after the first week they were out. Let the initial demand get sated before you look to pick yours up.
