Battle of Wits Is Selling Fast — Printings Disagree
Source checkedTrend report sourcesReport updatedAug 7, 2026, 5:24 PMSource contextConfirmed market signal
TCGplayer's August 7 weekly bestseller report is explicitly framed around Battle of Wits and Whtz, the Bibliophile. An August 4 market report said more than 1,250 near-mint Battle of Wits copies sold immediately after Whtz was revealed, with the Magic 2013 printing jumping from about $0.21 to $1.90 while Odyssey asking prices and the Princess Bride Secret Lair behaved very differently.
