When I saw the price I thought wow there must be a ton of expensive cards in that set. Looked it up and found that the most expensive card is Jace at $70. Being mythic, you're lucky if you get one in the box. After that, the most expensive cards go $40, $35, $20, $13. I'm having a hard time figuring out why this is so expensive.

Rizzle77It looks like an error to me, since the price next to it with a slash through is $144, I’m wondering if it’s supposed to be $68.99 and someone hit an extra 9 when entering the price into the system.

Rizzle77iirc, a lot of the prices you're seeing were double what they are now and that inflated the box price. when they reprinted the cards their prices went down, but the boxes didn't follow suit.

alarthameSo the cards are cheap for deckbuilding, but the boosters are pricey for drafting because they're rare?

Rizzle77SEALED out of print set. the contents of the box does help raise the bar on its price but its the fast that it has never been opened is what drives it up even more. look at commander 2016, atraxa can be picked up for 15 and deepglow for like 8. these are the 2 most expensive cards in the box and anything else is below 3 excluding like 2 4-5$ cards but the pricetag on the box it over 100$ for it sealed. the box is still easily worth only the MSRP (maybe a little over) but not worth the 100$ for its contents alone.

BoomtownSounds like you can just buy one and save 300$ and actually get one. Or buy 2 of them and spend a tad more. This box has no value anymore, it's just the hoarding at this point. When the cards got reprinted the box value should have went to but people like Rudy are sitting on hundreds of them and are like "why should I lose money on a near worthless set" let's face it there are a few cards that are nice but outside of the foils you won't even break MSRP 90% of the time. It's better to just buy two original modern masters sets and actually make more than your spending.

LuchaJohnnyHaha no, I'm not sure if you're being serious or not. This is an extreme example, but you know how the "MSRP" of a Ford Model T was $850? (Https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T)
Once it's no longer in production, Magic cards tend to escalate in price until they reach a ceiling. This price is the ceiling for a fairly valuable set printed 10ish years ago. Granted, the price of these cards has gone down a bit since they've been reprinted recently, but the price isn't that outlandish.
