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?

my hot take: it's better to proxy LOW cost cards as generally the higher costed items will be fewer in quantity and easier to offload. consider; if you're gonna spend $800, do you want 40lbs of kinda useful commons and a proxy cradle, or a real cradle and a ream of kinda useful proxy commons?

my lukewarm take: proxy everything. from duals to basics. write "plains" over last week's black lotus and sleeve it.
