The Gathering Ranked As Most Popular Game On eBay

Magic: The Gathering has claimed the top spot as the best-selling game on eBay, with a rate of one item sold per minute. In light of this, eBay has joined forces with ABUGames, a renowned platform for grading and selling individual cards, to host auctions featuring Magic cards from the earliest sets in the game’s history. Scheduled to kick off on May 12th at 11PM EST (8PM PST), this series of auctions will showcase cards from iconic sets like Arabian Nights, Legends, The Dark, and the original core sets. These graded relics of Magic’s past promise to captivate online viewers and collectors alike, their allure likely magnified when held in hand.

In addition to this landmark event highlighting Magic: The Gathering cards, eBay is offering players the opportunity to pre-order cards from their latest release, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. Furthermore, for those seeking MTG codes, we recommend exploring MTG Arena Planeswalker Starter Deck Codes currently on sale with significant discounts. While our team at Bleeding Cool has extensively covered Ikoria—raving about the Godzilla Series and analyzing the top cards for Limited play—it’s worth mentioning that eBay will commence sales of Collector Booster Boxes priced around $200 starting May 11th.

To numerous individuals, the price may seem steep, considering that the average draft booster box costs around $100, not including taxes or shipping. However, this is a Collector Booster Box, indicating it likely contains more rare cards per pack. Moreover, these boxes have been spotted online selling for up to $250 each, making this a truly favorable deal. What are your thoughts on this collaboration between eBay and ABUGames? In a time where lockdowns and social distancing rule the day, do you believe investing in old graded cards is a wise choice? Share your views in the comments section!
