Category - Year Review

Hello again! Welcome to Part Two of our “Yearly Winners.” As is our year-end tradition, we’re showing you the winners and losers of 2022 in several categories. To make scrolling a little bit easier we’ve broken each category up into its own separate post. The second category (Part Two) can be found in this post, and the other two are at the links below.

Welcome back! It’s time for the conclusion of our 2022 "Yearly Winners." As is our year-end tradition, we’re showing you the winners and losers of 2022 in several categories. To make scrolling a little bit easier we’ve broken each category up into its own separate post. The third category (Part Three) can be found in this post, and the other two are at the links below.

2022 has been a busy year for Magic and especially the collectors. The market was flooded by Wizards of the Coast with new product. There have been, among others, four main sets, each having their own commander product, several Universes Beyond sets, Dominaria Remastered, Unfinity, and 70 Secret Lairs. Plenty of new cards hit the market. According to some calculations, almost 15% of all card variations were printed in 2022, and 25% of all commanders in existence were printed this year. Plenty of stuff to look back on!

I kind of assume there are not a lot of people who are sad that 2021 is finally over, and while we cannot and should not assume 2022 will be any better, it should not be that hard for 2022 to beat these past years. When the COVID-19 pandemic really started to flare up in 2020 we have seen multiple people saying this will be the end of Magic and people predicting the second-hand market to collapse. Neither of those have happened, and we see no reason why 2022 will be any different when it comes to that. Magic seems more popular than ever, and everyone knows that at some point we will be able to physically sling cardboard against each other again in the (hopefully near) future.

This is Part 2 of the "Yearly Winners 2021" where we will show you the winners and losers on both average and market price for cards on the Reserved List.

I kind of assume there are not a lot of people who are sad that 2020 is finally over, and while we can't and should not assume 2021 will be any better, it should not be that hard for 2021 to be better than this year. When the COVID-19 pandemic really started to flare up we have seen multiple people saying this will be the end of Magic and people predicting the second-hand market to collapse.

The end of the year is near! Hope that you all had an amazing Christmas with your loved ones and you're now slowly starting to consider to take it easy for the next few weeks to shake off that little extra bit of weight you put on from the amazing meals. Like every year we will show you some top 100 lists of 2019!

The past two Fridays we've posted some "Weekly Winners Special Edition" articles showing you the top 100 losers and the top 100 winners of 2018. Based on the feedback on these articles, we've opened up a poll to see what other lists you might be interested in.

I remember that in 2014 I started doing this list depicting the 250 top interests of the year after I received some requests to do something like this. For some reason, in 2015, I failed to provide such a list, but this year, I figured I should do it again (and also... I remembered to do it). I must admit, that I prepared these numbers one day too early. Meaning that if anything huge happens on December 31st, it's not accounted for, so bare with me.

It's not often that I decide actually post something worthy on MTGStocks. But, I had a small conversation on Twitter where people indicated that interests over an entire year is something they would love to see. This has led me to have a look into the database, and provide you with the top 250 largest risers and top 250 largest decliners over 2014.
