Most Magic cards are worth cents, but the right cards — old dual lands, Reserved List staples, and sought-after foils — are worth hundreds or thousands. Set, rarity, and condition separate bulk from treasure.
Typical used price range
$0.10 – $2,000+
Bulk commons sell by the hundred. Reserved List cards, Alpha/Beta rares, and graded gem-mint cards drive the high end.

Old sets (Alpha, Beta, Legends) and Reserved List cards carry the value. Modern staples matter but fluctuate with the metagame.
Near-mint condition matters; a graded gem-mint copy can be worth multiples of a played one. Whitening and creases hurt.
Foil versions and special promos of playable cards command a premium over the standard printing.
Check for old sets, Reserved List cards, rare symbols, and foils — anything promising is worth checking against recent sold listings.
Only for cards already worth $50+ raw in near-mint condition — grading fees eat the margin on cheaper cards.
