This is a local game store near the house and every once and a while I will head up there to see what they have. They have a pretty small community up there, a lot of high schoolers, and some older EDH players. I have found that they do end up getting a lot of Masterpiece cards and higher priced cards, I can only assume that their player bases usually cashes out with them in order to get other packs or lower prices staples.
This LGS usually holds a lot of PPTQ and smaller tournaments, and they have enough space to hold them, so they do get a lot of product like this. They are also so small that they do not get a lot of collector traffic, so finding this type of product is pretty easy. Most everything they sell is MSRP, so picking up there is a no brainer, but it does suck that they try and sell Master sets at MSRP. With Iconic, I don't think they can keep that pricing model up for very long.
But yeah, picked up another two of these for the collection. Thinking that in a couple years they will be closer to $70 a piece.
Also found some of these for the collection. They did have a lot of other Mythics, and considering that I opened 6 boxes and only got a handful of Mythics, my theory of them picking up a lot of these cards from their player base is a bit stronger.
And yup! Got the rest of my playset when most of the other stores I stopped in did not have any of these. But yeah, my theory more and more solid when I go up there and keep seeing these types of cards.
Now all I need are a couple of Uncommon lands to finish out my Iconic Master needs.
