There’s a case to be made that in Magic finance, you should never sell. We are entering a new level of collectability, where Lord of the Rings Collector Booster boxes are reaching heights never before thought of, leaving us to wonder ‘why did we sell out and take 200% profits?’ After all, if you bought Bitcoin at a dollar each and sold at $100, you made a ton, but then you feel like an idiot when it hit $100,000 per. Magic isn’t there yet, but with some recent growth, the analogy is apt.

I sympathize with you on feeling like we must hoard everything, a dragon sitting atop a mountain of gold, reluctant to let go of even a coin, for it is ours and it is precious. However, down that path leads not just madness, but missing out on value, and then you get to feel bad in a whole new way.

So today, I want to go over how we differentiate between a spike we sell into and when we resist, how to plan, and a method that both takes your profits and saves some for future value.
