The price a Collector will be willing to pay, I'm looking myself for Sealed Jigsaw MTG puzzles, there's 2 or 3 more.

I have all four puzzles.

You are correct that they are hard to find. The Japanese have always loved puzzles, so they are made for anything that becomes popular. This means that they will usually be plentiful. But because the puzzle manufacturer lost the license to make them, there was only a few month period when they were available.

Seven or eight years ago the approximate prices were:

- Weatherlight ~ $25
- Archangel ~ $40 (because its an angel)
- 1997 Champion deck ~ $60
- Alpha/Beta ~$100 (because it shows P-9)

I have only seen a few offered anywhere since then, so I have no idea of current valuations. I bet a few might slip through cheap because no one knows what they are. Properly marketed, I would guess they should sell for more than they did in 2006.
