Chess Player Cards Magnus,Fischer

Like you I'm not sure. Especially since demand is clearly there. I'm certain it would sell well if auctioned even on ebay without much promotion. Maybe if we ever see Topps Chrome Chess they might come out of the woodwork from people looking through their old boxes from 2012? Or they were never taken seriously even by collectors like yourself back then and have been trashed in large numbers. The 2003 on card auto Hikarus are similarly difficult to come by.

Like Peter, back in the day, I had two extra FaceChess Carlsen's and gave them both away thinking I could always get more if needed. With Covid, I liquidated most of my collection, including my last Carlsen. Haven't been able to find one since. The same "commons" from the set have been on ebay for years.

I would be very interested to see the price if one came up for auction - almost nothing would surprise me as far as sale price (low or high). I'm not sure if it seems so in demand because there are a large number of people who recognize and want the card now or just because I pay attention to the few times the card is brought up in discussion.

The Ktav has always sold well. Here's the full range of variations. The typical. The "Dark" Fischer and the truly rare perforated.

Been looking for a Magnus for years, it's ridiculously impossible.

The 2012 "Feats" set is never seen either, as best I know.

FaceChess doesn't stop in 2012. Here's the Magnus from 2013.
