You need to be able to look at that Sower of Temptation foil in your LGSs display case and say to it, Its you I want, but its [the non-foil copy] that I need. Its hard to think of two less related things than playing Magic for free and acquiring foils and other high-value cards
Methodology Notes Commons (except in very rare cases) are considered to be bulk, which I value at $5.00 per thousand
Currently, you can find this card reselling in the realm of $25-30, with a few high-quality and graded pieces pushing $35 on some platforms
And to top it off, your card is permanently protected in a thick plastic case
It is a nice rounded card that does direct and core things (cards and damage) and so it is a good fit in any place where equipment is viable
