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

  1. Browse the Magic catalog and filter by set, rarity, and condition to find the printing you want.
  2. 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.
  3. Add cards from multiple sellers to one cart; the Cart Optimizer finds the cheapest mix and cuts how many shipping fees you pay.
  4. 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

  1. Apply to sell, then list a single card in seconds or bulk-upload your whole inventory by CSV.
  2. Set the condition and finish honestly and price against the live market — accurate listings convert best and avoid claims.
  3. You keep more of every sale: a flat 8% + $0.30 per shipment, with no listing fees or buyer-side surcharge.
  4. 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.
