Why are some Magic: The Gathering cards more desired and rare than others?
DC: Because of the cut of the cards. There are many that are very hard to find centered. In the Alpha set, I sold some very rare cards – PSA 10s that are very expensive. For example, the Birds of Paradise Alpha card is extremely rare to find centered. It was one of the most played cards and the only PSA 10 I ever sold was for $2,000. That was for a card that, ungraded, is maybe worth about $100. There are others too, like the PSA 10 Alpha Black Lotus which sold for $15,000 and a PSA 10 Beta Black Lotus that sold for $11,000. There is one card, I currently own that is a PSA 10 Alpha Black Lotus signed by the artist, Christopher Rush. It is the only one in the world. This card is by far be the most valuable Magic: The Gathering card since there is only one, and so few have ever been signed. The fact that it has also been authenticated by PSA/DNA makes this card even more valuable. There are also artist’s proof uncut sheets that are available. These are extremely limited.
