![]() It’s the day before the big day (Christmas that is) and Kaldheim is starting its big comeback. It was the day before Christmas and all through the house, not a Magic player was playing, not even, well you get the story. What’s Happening With Kaldheim Collector Booster Boxes Now? Kaldheim was eventually labeled by distributors as the worst selling standard set since Core 2021.Ĭollectors and players had moved on and Kaldheim was sitting on the ‘Island of Misfit Toys’ (and Trading Card Games) wondering if anyone would ever want them again. Prices started going down over time and eventually they bottomed out in early-mid 2022 at around $140-150. Kaldheim was becoming a casualty of the attention war going on in the TCG world and it was getting hammered big time. Products were coming and going so fast in the Magic world that the battle to keep the attention of players and collectors was a losing one. ![]() This was also about the time Wizards started selling products on Amazon so that created a massive uproar across distributors and the roughly 3,000 local game stores across the country. That was a real possibility since Wizards doesn’t release production numbers and there was no way to tell how much they made. Maybe Wizards had pallets of the stuff sitting in the wings waiting to cash in. That was certainly a possibility as stores and distributors tend to dump products to get the cash available for the next set. Maybe it was in anticipation of the upcoming Time Spiral Remastered that was set to release on March 19, 2021. ![]() A lot of people liked the set itself, but Kaldheim was struggling. Well, that didn’t happen and as we approached the early part of March 2021, Kaldheim Collector Booster prices started to come down. Distributors and store owners were saying they couldn’t get any more boxes from anywhere in the country. Things looked great towards the end of February 2021 and Collector Boosters were pretty strong in that $200 price range. I thought ‘why not’, you can’t go wrong with a limited print run Collector Booster! I did the same, purchasing 12-boxes at the time priced between $175 and $196. Skeptics were saying Wizards was willing to accept lower revenue on Kaldheim Collector Boosters merely to inflate the secondary market of this set AND other sealed boxes.Ĭollector boosters are normally a limited product anyways so the rumors that no restock was coming pushed a lot of collectors to buy up the supply in anticipation of future price increases. Word on the street at the time that Wizards was not going to restock after the initial shipment so that certainly played into the story. ![]() Prices fluctuated but they stayed in that range for at least the first month. When they first hit the market, Kaldheim Collector Booster Boxes were selling anywhere from $185 to $200 per box which was right in line with expectations. Prices on collectibles across the board were very strong in the market so confidence was high to say the least. However, sealed Magic The Gathering out of print boxes were doing extremely well at the time. ![]() The world was still sort of preoccupied with the pandemic and Kaldheim’s release just so happened to come out during a tough time in the world. WotC released the Kaldheim set back on February 5, 2021, which was right around when that nasty Covid was coming off its January peak. ![]()
