Prices have skyrocketed. You can get a damaged cradle for a little under a grand but LP and NM are over

I’m still kicking myself for not snagging the foil gaeas I was going to buy for 800 but the guy listed it at 700 and then asked for another 100 when I got there so I passed. I still wanted it but I hated the way he conducted the sale so I passed on it 🥲

I hear ya man. I passed on two lotr special edition holiday collector boosters for like $300 each back when they first released. Both those could get me near a black lotus unlimited at this point.

Oh well.

The fool cradle prices are wild as well!

Even a damaged one, on cardkingdom is about $1.5k.
