Marvel Super Heroes four months in: 40 of 41 big Magic cards are down
The Borderless foil Thanos went from $252 to $160, Ant-Man lost 59%. The Commander decks did even worse.
Marvel Super Heroes came out on June 26. We leave its first two weeks out, because launch prices are set before real supply arrives. From July 10 to October 25, 40 of the 41 cards worth $20 or more got cheaper. The median card lost 32.6%.
Thanos lost $92
The Borderless foil Thanos, The Mad Titan went from $252.41 to $160.43, down 36%. The Borderless foil Doctor Doom followed almost exactly: $227.68 to $145.30, also down 36%. Both trade nearly every day, so these are real prices.
The biggest drops
The Astonishing Ant-Man in Borderless foil fell the most, from $98.40 to $40.53, a 59% drop. Bruce Banner (0390) lost 52.5%, from $90.75 to $43.11, and Mjolnir, Hammer of Thor (0339) lost 47.5%, from $84.89 to $44.55.
The Mind Stone is the only card that went up
The Borderless foil The Mind Stone is the most expensive card in the set, and the only one above its launch week price: $1,552.12 then, $1,636.71 on October 25, up 5.4%. Its price changed only 5 times in the last 30 days, so a single sale could still move it. The regular foil The Mind Stone went the other way, down 41% from $137.51 to $81.40.
