It can be a risk whether or not you’ll get the item for a good or horrible price. You’re relying on the hope that the seller has accurately represented the item and that everyone else who’s bidding on the item has an idea of its worth. The biggest problem is that eBay is an auction house. You also can find booster boxes and packs that can be almost impossible to find other places. Especially if you’re looking for the really old stuff like Alpha, Beta, or Revised or even graded cards. Official MerchĪny products that Wizards of the Coast has put out that’s no longer being printed or sold can be found on eBay. I’m mainly talking about aesthetic stuff here. If you’re buying booster packs or other physical Magic cards, I suggest hanging on to your hat until we get just a bit further down. My recommendations for this are going to depend on what you’re looking for. The last thing you need making it harder is having to search forever to find what you’re looking for. Gifting anything can be an easy process or or a big ordeal. Marisi, Breaker of the Coil | Illustration by Rudy Siswanto
