If a "Proposal" card became available for purchase
All,
So, let's say one of the nine Proposals becomes available for purchase...
How much is it worth? (Assuming confirmed/documented origins - and it isn't the stolen one - and it is in NM condition.)
Best regards,
Rainsford

Well, this card would be pure speculation, due to the fact that it is extremely rare, & a few key collectors would want one. Documentation & proof would be key (speeking from experience).
Personally, I'd expect it to hit about $10,000.

Let us, for the sake of discussion, assume the card can be 100% confirmed as real and also be 100% confirmed it is NOT the stolen one.
---------------
Should this be worth less than a Summer Hurricane? Is there any other collectable worth more? Since there are fewer that Fraternal Exaltation and Splendid Genesis, should it be worth more then either? More than both together? Is the price for this sort of uber-high-end collectable going up, stablizing, or going down?

I personally would value it a bit over a summer efreet maybe double-triple.
rarity should be the same, but the card is much more important and of historical value for the game, the games history and myth.
Also as its was only given out to certain people they have a private/family history value going with it and thus it generally should not be for sale at all.

How many times has the World Champion card changed hands? Once? What was the sale price? $10k?

That's my point. It's hard to ask the value of a card like Proposal that has never (or perhaps rarely) been sold. There rarest benchmark we have to work with are the Splendid and Fraternal. The only cards really more rare are the other 2 cards. Even if the Champ lets say sold for $10k once upon a time, it would certainly sell for more today. How much more is about as predictable as an art auction.berkumps wrote:I agree.l0qii wrote:I would value it more than Fraternal or Splendid, but less than 1996 World Champion or Shichifukujin Dragon

World champion is not a card, its a trophy with a card in it.

We must not forget that the price of an item like this is based on "how much does one guy is willing to pay for it".
Rembrandt and Van Gogh (to name but the more popular) work of arts' prices can vary from one time to another, depending on who takes part in the auction.
Now, the fact that the Proposal is not a "printed" card but a sort of "montage" does diminish its potential value.
Splendid Genesis can be found at $1500, Exaltation's price vary.
I'd say $3000-5000 price range. And that is what I would be willing to pay for it, considering I would buy it at this price. I wouldn't pay much more for it. And I can consider myself one among the biggest collectors worldwide.

Thinking more about this question, leads me to believe that public responses to it have almost no weight (for a number of reasons).
1) It is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it (as others have mentioned).
2) Only those who could actually afford it, and were serious about purchasing it would have valid estimates.
3) Those same people from point 2 would not post such estimates as they would not want others knowing how high they would go.
It is, however, fun to speculate about the sale of such a card. But that is all responses in this thread would be, speculation. It would be nice to see Rainsford's PM box at this point.
