Yearly Winners 2023: The Reserved List (Part 2)

02 Jan
by Arjen

Welcome to the second part of our Yearly Winners. As is our year-end tradition, we're showing you the winners and losers of 2023. In the previous article you can see the top 100 winners and losers of all cards. In this second part of the series we'll be looking into the Reserved List.

In this article you will find four tables, consisting of the following information:

  • Top 100 winners by average price
  • Top 100 losers by average price
  • Top 100 winners by market price
  • Top 100 losers by market price

While we aim for the top 100 for each table, it can occur that a table has fewer rows than 100, since the Reserved List is a quite limited pool of cards. To give you some extra insights into the prices of these cards, here are the averages of both the average and market price over all cards on the Reserved List that are tournament legal.

  Jan 1st Dec 31st
Average $792.30 $700.70
Market $151.50 $116.23

We also have a third article in the series, which focuses on all cards, but based on the absolute dollar value change rather than percentage

Without further ado, please enjoy the lists!
