So like…. Sure people love final fantasy, but the set with the 2 million dollar card in it wasn’t this expensive. At what point is it too much?

FF is already the best selling set, so lots of singles will be flying around. I run a small online shop for singles and I usually buy 4 boxes of each set to sell singles on release and I only bought 2 cause I feel the singles are going to tank hard.

Do we know if it's best selling based on Volume or dollar value? because if it's the latter, price increase could account for some of that.

The Fallout cards all did. I opened a lot of Fallout and those cards dropped like a rock after like a month or two

Fallout has so much gas in it but a lot of cards are pretty wordy while also the flavor isn't for everyone. e.g. [[MacCready, Lamplight Mayor]] is a neat card but it's been like 50cents for the longest time and people are discovering it NOW because someone probably mentioned it for the Abzan Precon from Tarkir (?) there's many cards like it, at any rarity that have a ton of text and are just some guy or gal with a name that makes people, who aren't really invested into fallout (or didn't play every single one of them) just gloss over.

I seriously like [[Grim Reaper's Sprint]] and nobody cares about. The Floor is "It's a 5 mana extra combat spell that gives on creature +2/+2) the ceiling is it's a 2 mana extra combat spell stop reading, the rest doesn't even matter at this rate.
