I hadn't visited here in a while, but came here today to buy some cards and couldn't find the marketplace I remembered.
PSSSSST. Reach out to users directly; I'm sure they'd sell you stuff via the Trade functionality.
Yeah, that kinda sucks, but it's really more of a post office issue. The post office mega sucks these days
Definitely feels that way. I've had a lot of antsy, semi-impatient people lately; more than I think I've ever had at one time.
I've slowly been getting back on the platform and doing some sending. However, I'm noticing a pretty significant drop in the offer % from a lot of people. I remember seeing some comments in the Discord channel about them collecting tax on packages now, or will be soon. Is this true, and does that probably explain the % drop in offers?
Anyone back using Cardsphere after its return from the brink of the abyss?
Thanks, Sebi.
As far as I can tell, if you trade them out or manage to sell them, they'll all still treated the same way and removed from your inventory, correct? It's just QOL more than anything?
I'm still seeing the issue here (added cards as recently as 29 OCT), and was just curious about the status of the fix? Not trying to imply this needs to be fixed immediately; I can hold off adding more cards for a while if it saves having to go back and manually correct.
Lawl. I guess Cardsphere isn't shutting down after all.
https://blog.cardsphere.com/cardsphere-is-not-closing/
This is kind of frustrating to read after all the talk days after the closing announcement about how they wouldn't be selling to someone else, or that they'd need the right circumstances, etc. Why not just handle a sale behind the scenes, unless the desperation "we're closing" was meant to boost interest from a buyer.
I wonder how many users they've lost as a result of this. I'm very reluctant to return after emptying my account and clearing Haves given all the messaging about the shutdown being real.
So dumb.
Does anyone think that perhaps trades will become a psuedo-marketplace with respect to "hey, I need these cards from you, but would like to just send you $x.xx for them"?
This probably already happens, right? I guess my question would be would it break any kind of TOS with using the site? Or does it matter if there's not going to be any dispute resolution, etc. from Sebi and team, and they basically say "do this type of dealing at your own risk."
Another site bites the dust.
Before cashing out and my final sign off from Cardsphere, I got the full-court press from someone trying to sell me on "CardTrader."
Anyone know anything about it? I bring this up because Deckbox also announced it's getting rid of its Marketplace soon.
I mostly use Deckbox for tracking an inventory. Often times a subset of a specific card may not be made available (for example, I have 6 copies of a card, but I've only placed 3 on my tradelist).
I'm hoping to see a filter that makes it easy to identify which cards have these discrepancies/differences, so I can update/identify more easily going forward.
Thanks!
I feel like I'll always be engaged one way or another with MTG even if I someday divest myself of everything.
I just went through the process of stripping down my collection significantly. I've been a collector since the days of Ice Age, and for most of that time I was heavily trading/collecting towards one copy of every card (including all variants). I've since realized the folly of that approach and have moved towards only have the base set in foil, which I can redeem on MTGO, and then any individual unique cards released in supplemental products, but only the base versions of those as well.
I'm tired of continuing to play WotC's game and have lost a lot of confidence in the company as a whole. While I'm not completely out, I think my engagement is at an all time low, but I don't think that's a bad thing, honestly. I've freed up a lot more time to pursue other interests and hobbies with my free time, so it's been a net positive. Plus the influx of cash from selling my personal collection has been nice.
Hey y'all - so it's been a while since the death of PucaTrade and we've all had to (maybe somewhat) reorganize our trading/selling/buying behaviours. With that said, we've all seen some unprecedented changes on the WotC/Hasbro side of things, particular with the quantity of products being released, number of variants, an increase in direct-to-consumer distribution, and some others.
Wanted to get the temperature of the community here about how people are generally feeling about the state of things, and what impacts this all is having on you and your engagement with the game? Personally, I've dialed back a lot of my collecting - I've always been a collector of the game first, and for a while I was trying to keep up with the products being released (I went so far as to try and collect of foil copy of each card/variant released). Now I've realized how foolish a goal that is (thanks Collector Boosters) and have done away with all variants/reprints effectively, and am only getting redeemed complete foil sets from MTGO, and only the non-reprint base foil cards from supplemental products. This has simplified my life immensely and no longer have to struggle to keep up the number of products/cards coming out with every set. The shelves that support my collection also no longer sag under the sheer mass of the collection.
How do you all engage with the game now, and do you see anymore changes for yourself on the horizon? Also, fuck Hasbro and their tone-deaf, corporate bullshit-laden fireside chats.

I have quite a few of these, including a Time Warp.
These differ from the Collector's Booster version(s) with a much better foiling process, and a foil rarity symbol, which is absent on the Collector's Booster versions. Given the scarcity of these in the wild, relative to their counterparts, some of them command a pretty significant premium, even those that would otherwise be considered lower-value cards. Price is obviously determined by their collectability and the "premium-ness" and scarcity.
Most NA sites don't differentiate between the two versions, but websites such as Hareruya have prices available for all. Not looking to sell - looking to trade them towards cards for my collection; value can be negotiated. They are available to view in my Inventory/Tradelist as copies marked with a "misprint" tag.
Can send pictures upon request for any trading, and would provide insurance/tracking, etc.
DelverLens was pretty intuitive to use and catalogued a whole collection in a couple hours. Some of the features for specifying languages, condition, etc. need to be made a bit more obvious and easy to use, but otherwise its a pretty neat little app.
However, when it comes to exporting the lists for uploading to different sites, it does say Cardsphere formatting is the same as Deckbox, which it isn't, so a bunch of manual reworking on the .csv file(s) had to be performed. I think there's still an opportunity here to just build something with Excel macros to have it scrub sheets for uploading to different places.
The paid version of DelverLens is really good at this, and has a month free trial
Fantastic, thank you. I'll look into this - maybe there's something I can extract to turn into an Excel macro to make this available for everyone.
Has anyone got a good template/macro for uploading lists to multiple trading sites, given the different nomenclature?
I was able to snag a reasonable collection in my area and am just finishing an initial list, to upload first to Deckbox or Cardsphere, but I know there's differences between the two in terms of what sets are called (Deckbox goes with Card No. for Extended Art, while Cardsphere gives them a specific set name, for example).
Or any resources you could point me towards? Maybe this is something I can work on the mean time if there's interest from you all for a tool like this.
Also, I can't imagine how they haven't hooked up the ability to put a checkbox beside any matched cards with a corresponding button to "Add to trade". Having the matching ability is great, but why do I then have to TYPE the cards into the trade? Come on...
Yeah, I hear that. I really like the thoroughness of the database on here, as everything seems to be catalogued quite specifically, and the Admins seem quick to get new things added or correct any errors.
I do agree the trading interface could use a little work. Not sure if there's better trading features with the Premium membership...?
It does FEEL bad to see making an "unbalanced" trade, but i'd rather double check than get a bad deal and be sad later. Most if not all traders here are very understanding if you just use the chat box in the trade.
This was their exact sentiment when they caught the issue. I sent them another card to make up the value, but I also know (of) this person from back home and they're not the wide-eyed doe they made themselves out to be when leaving feedback for the trade.
I'm not salty about it, but in the world of cellphones, etc. everyone was always looking up prices and checking to make sure things were as even as possible. I guess maybe we get a bit lazy with a site like this, myself included.
As for the pricing, yeah, there's been some pretty big disparities between the Deckbox Marketplace price and the aggregated pricing from anywhere else. For the most part anything of significant value I'll personally double check, but also don't tend to bother doing my trading partner's homework for them.
Maybe I've just become an old curmudgeon. Haha.
Hey everyone,
Just curious how everyone is finding trading on Deckbox, and if there's any pitfalls or issues you're running into?
I just had a recent trade with someone where I was accused of trying to shark them on value. I had forgotten, or maybe I never knew, that DB didn't adjust prices based on card condition, so when the trade was accepted, the person was out $10 or so because a Beta Swamp I had was HP. Honestly never crossed my mind to look up the prices to make sure the trades were even as I assumed that was built into the platform.
Anyways, ultimately, I didn't feel too bad about it because it's not like the information is obfuscated - it's all available and we can see the condition/value in real time, especially sending pictures to confirm it. I guess I trust people will do their due diligence and protect themselves, but maybe that's asking too much?
Otherwise it's going well on here and seems to be a pretty good community. There is the rating system which I appreciate, and wish something similar had been incorporated into PucaTrade years ago to help weed out any problem traders.
Is it possible to get some kind of filter for card language?
I'd like to do something like price all English cards to X%, but would like to leave cards from other languages untouched.
