Mel, Newly Awakened (Alt Art, Promo)

Mel, Newly Awakened (Alt Art, Promo) is a promotional printing of Mel, Newly Awakened. It shares collector number 069B/166 with the Vendetta original but is a separate product that trades at its own price. It sits in the Mind domain and costs 4 energy to play, with 4 might.

Supply is thin: exactly one tracked store in the United States has Mel, Newly Awakened in stock right now, at US$900.00. With a single seller there is no competing price to hold it down, so this figure can move sharply the moment that listing sells or another shop restocks. Setting a price alert is more useful than watching the page.

Mel, Newly Awakened is stocked in 3 of the markets we track — Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom — each priced in its own currency, so the table above ranks by delivered cost inside whichever market you pick rather than converting between them. In the United States the cheapest listing is US$900.00 before postage and US$900.00 delivered.

The promo print carries a 333.3× premium over the plain version — US$900.00 against US$2.70. 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.

We have only just started recording Mel, Newly Awakened's price, so there is no trend to read yet — the chart above fills in a point a day from here, and a price watch will tell you if it moves before you check back.
