One of the biggest surprises announced about Zendikar is the existence of the new full-art lands (I won't say "textless, because they're not).
For a long time, the Unhinged and Unglued lands have been long sought after and highly valued, going from US$1.50-US$3.00 depending on the quality and quantity.
So what do we expect the price of the new lands - and they will have a higher price than your usual basics - to be?
My guess: US50c
Here's how I come to that conclusion.
A booster is usually US$3.00, so a full draft set is US$9.00.
If you were to go nuts in a draft and 'rare draft' for basic lands, you would receive 24 lands, plus a lot of other jank. If you were careful, you could probably draft three rares plus all 24 lands. Good luck in round 1, btw.
So US$9/24 basic lands = US37c. Round up for a profit and you get US50c.
You could then, in theory, sell all the lands for US$12, making a US$3 profit, and keeping the rares!
