Jayce, Defender of Tomorrow (Showcase, Signature)

Jayce, Defender of Tomorrow (Showcase, Signature) is the Signature print of Jayce, Defender of Tomorrow — numbered 194*/166, past the end of Vendetta's base run, which is what makes it far scarcer than the ordinary showcase printing. It sits in the Mind domain.

3 stores in the United States carry it and they are priced within 4% of each other — US$1,103.79 to US$1,149.00 at the top two. A tight spread across several sellers is the sign of a settled price, so postage and how much else you can add to the same order matter more than which shop you pick.

There is no real discount for accepting wear — the cheapest played copy is US$1,150.00 against US$1,103.79 Near Mint, so buy the better copy, and foils are barely dearer than non-foils right now — US$1,149.00 against US$1,103.79 — which rarely lasts.

The Signature print carries a 10034.5× premium over the plain version — US$1,103.79 against US$0.11. Both are legal in the same decks, so that gap is paying for the art and the scarcity, not for anything on the table.

Within Vendetta this is a genuine chase card: it is more expensive than 98% of the 249 priced cards in the set, against a set median of US$0.29. Cards at this end of a set's distribution are what make sealed product worth opening, and what make it expensive to buy singles for a deck that needs them.
