Market price vs. a seller's offer

The market estimate is TCGplayer's sales-based benchmark, not a buyable offer. The chart and market-price comparison use market prices; the 30-day usual is the median of daily market prices, not the cheapest listing. The listed total is the lowest card-plus-shipping offer returned at the check above, not necessarily the lowest card-only price. Different check times can give different prices. Cached offers may have changed.

TCGplayer market estimate: $3.22
Checked Nov 6, 2026; cached with this page; not a live offer. What this number means

Wait 25% over its 30-day usual of $2.57. As of Nov 5, 2026. How we decide

Check a price you were quoted

Sphinx Sovereign has shown up on Mana Market Watch 1 Spike of the Week. Below: every call, the price then, the price now, and whether the call held up. It moved fast enough to make the Spikes list, which is a report, not a recommendation.

Every time we picked it

Spike of the Week · Oct 24, 2026 to Oct 31, 2026

$2.57 → $3.22 (+25% that week, 30-day usual $2.26).

Why: The Ur-Sphinx keeps pulling every sphinx it can find out of the bulk box, including this 2008 eight-drop. One printing, no reprints, so it only takes a few Sphinx deck builders to move it.

Did we call it? No. We never flagged it before it moved.

Only 2 near-mint copies sold all week, so this price is a rumor with a chart. Buy it for the deck, not the portfolio.

Now $3.22 (0% since the spike week ended). Spikes report a move; not graded
