MTG Fallout Collector Boxes Rocket Toward $2000 Pricetag

Magic: The Gathering has become a game of investments more and more over the years. Products are geared towards collectors, and these collectors have bought the limited supply of nearly every product offered, driving up prices. That's just simple supply and demand, the thing that makes the world go 'round. To an extent it's even good for the game as a whole, but I bet you didn't know that a single Fallout collector booster box is now nearing $2,000 USD, and the reasons might be more than just supply and demand.

Supply, Demand, And Universes Beyond

All collector booster products are expensive by design. They're packed to the brim with foils and alternate arts, even serialized cards that go for upwards of $10,000 USD depending on the card. Fallout isn't an exception to any of this, but what is exceptional is how much the price has climbed recently–jumping from $1,500 to nearly $2,000 in the last three months or so–despite the fact that its serialized cards go for quite a bit less than you'd expect for this sort of thing, with seven unique bobblehead cards each selling in the $500 to $1,000 USD range.

Obviously these have driven up the price, but it's not the main factor. The demand isn't really there for these cards, as we've seen other serialized cards sell for a lot more. What's driving up the value of sealed Fallout collector booster boxes is the box itself.

This is something that happens in the world of collectibles, and now it's something that happens with Magic. Although the expected value of a Fallout collector booster box is nowhere near $2,000 USD, the price has still risen to that level because collectors want to have their hands on the sealed box. The value has moved away from the contents of the packs themselves. I suppose this is still just a matter of supply and demand, the demand is simply in a different form than we're used to.

The Franchise Factor

This is no doubt because of the Fallout franchise itself. People love the games, there are a lot of very dedicated fans, and so to have something related to the game that is a collector's item, whether that be a Magic: The Gathering collector booster box or otherwise, is something desirable for these fans.

Another part of of Universes Beyond products is the limited nature of them. We've had our Fallout crossover, and likely we'll never see more Fallout cards ever again. This makes what does exist all the more valuable. Additionally, to the extent that the cards in these packs do carry value for the box, the fact that most of them can't be reprinted in a normal set due to their ties to the Fallout franchise means supply is likely to stay more limited.

Wrap Up

Add on top of it all a low print run, and you've got a recipe for high prices that will only go up over time. As for where they'll stop, I can't say for sure, but there must be a ceiling for this sort of thing. Once everyone who wants one gets one, the price will drop, although the more that gets opened, the higher the price of the remaining products. Again, that's just simple supply and demand, even if it is a collector's item.

Ultimately it isn't the average consumer buying these products, nor could the average consumer ever hope to truly afford them at this point. It's in the name after all; These collector boosters are for collectors. The only question is how much they'll be willing to pay for it before the price collapses under its own weight. Or maybe it will just keep going up and up and up. Who can really say for sure?
