Magic cards — common questions
How do I value a Magic: The Gathering card?
Search it above — value turns on the set, rarity, foil treatment and whether it sits on the Reserved List. Demand in Commander and competitive formats matters as much as raw scarcity, so a played-everywhere staple can outprice a rarer card nobody runs.
What is the Reserved List?
A list of older cards Wizards of the Coast has promised never to reprint, which permanently caps their supply — these are among the most valuable cards in the game. Foilio flags Reserved List cards automatically in search.
How can I tell if my Magic card is valuable?
Look at the set-symbol colour (black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic), the foil treatment, the age of the set, and Reserved List status. Old foils and early printings carry the biggest premiums.
Where can I sell Magic cards?
Singles move on eBay, TCGplayer and dealer buylists like Card Kingdom; sealed product tends to appreciate over time. Foilio helps you price and list singles from your own accounts.
