How to Buy & Sell Magic Singles Online
Everything you need to buy the exact Magic card you want — and to sell yours for a fair price — with live market prices and buyer protection on EvoMarket.
What Magic singles are worth
Magic single prices track playability — is the card competitive in a current format? — alongside rarity, set, foil treatment, and condition. Reserved List cards and tournament staples hold the most value.
Rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic Rare, plus special treatments like extended-art, borderless, and showcase frames.
Finishes & printings: Most cards exist in non-foil and foil, and many appear across multiple sets and Secret Lair drops — each printing is priced separately.
How to buy Magic singles
- Browse the Magic catalog and filter by set, rarity, and condition to find the printing you want.
- Each card page shows the live market price, a price-history graph, and the lowest available listing — so you know what's fair before you buy.
- Add cards from multiple sellers to one cart; the Cart Optimizer finds the cheapest mix and cuts how many shipping fees you pay.
- Check out once — every order is covered by EvoMarket Safeguard.
Tip: The same card can appear in many sets at very different prices — check which set it's from and whether it's foil before buying.
How to sell Magic singles
- Apply to sell, then list a single card in seconds or bulk-upload your whole inventory by CSV.
- Set the condition and finish honestly and price against the live market — accurate listings convert best and avoid claims.
- You keep more of every sale: a flat 8% + $0.30 per shipment, with no listing fees or buyer-side surcharge.
- Ship when the order comes in; you're paid to your bank via Stripe once delivery is confirmed.
Condition & grading
Single prices assume a condition grade — Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Heavily Played, or Damaged. Inspect corners, edges, surface, and centering, and grade conservatively. Raw (ungraded) singles are the norm for play and most collecting; professionally graded cards (PSA / CGC / BGS) cost more but certify condition and authenticity, which matters most for high-value cards.
Frequently asked questions
- Are foil Magic cards worth more?
- Usually — foils typically carry a premium over the non-foil of the same card, though the gap varies by card and demand.
- What is the Reserved List?
- A list of older cards Wizards of the Coast has promised never to reprint, which keeps their supply fixed and their prices high.
- How much does it cost to sell Magic singles on EvoMarket?
- Sellers pay a flat 8% + $0.30 per shipment — no listing fees and no buyer-side surcharge. You're paid to your bank via Stripe once delivery is confirmed.
- Are my Magic purchases protected?
- Yes — every order is covered by EvoMarket Safeguard. If an item never arrives, isn't as described, or shows up damaged, you can file a claim for a refund or replacement.
