Reality Fracture after launch week: 38 of its 42 big cards are already cheaper
The median big card lost 12% in nine days. The $490 Fracture Foil Jace is one of only three cards that went up.
Reality Fracture came out on October 2. We leave its first two weeks out, because launch prices are set before boxes are opened at scale. From October 16, the last day of launch week, to October 25, 38 of the 42 cards worth $20 or more got cheaper. The median card lost 12.1% in nine days.
The top of the set held
The most expensive card is the Showcase Fracture Foil The Theorist, Jace Beleren. It went from $469.75 to $490.77, up 4.5%. It is still below its first market price after release, $549.95, but the slide stopped at the end of launch week.
Two more cards near the top barely moved: Craterclaw Colossus in Facet Foil lost 0.5%, and Return to the Light Realms lost 2%.
Omnipresence is down 18% in nine days
Omnipresence in Borderless Facet Foil went from $472.94 to $387.63. Its first market price after release was $880, so it has now lost more than half of where it opened. Hexhaven Invigorator fell 16%, from $516.07 to $433.33.
The steepest drops are the cheaper cards
Samut, Tyrant of Naktamun in Borderless foil lost a third, from $30.41 to $20.32. The regular foil The Theorist, Jace Beleren took a round trip: it opened at $35.69, more than doubled to $80.53 by the end of launch week, and has since come down to $54.48, a 32% drop.

Nine days is early
New sets usually keep falling after the first month. The Hobbit had 36 of its 37 big cards down two months after launch week. For Reality Fracture the direction is the same, and the expensive Showcase and Facet Foil cards are holding better than the cheaper ones so far. All cards from the set are on the Reality Fracture page.
