eBay insanity for May 2011

I bid till about 40 USD. I really wanted to have one, as there are virtually none on sale or trade.

I think that this auction perfectly reflects supply and demand for Summon History.
Who would want to part with that card? Really?

I own six. If you like I'd sell them for 360 USD to you. Holy moly, I'm rich .

I'm curious. How did you manage to obtain 6? Buying lots of displays or trading from noobs?

I have 9 copies, want more 5.

I also known more 2 players that have 9 copies each one too.

I take mines when expansion start, I buy 5 copies with cheap price and trade the other 4 with other players.

And this cards is very difficult to get buying displays, I sell displays here in brazil, have selled at least 30 displays from this expansion and less than 10 came with Summon History. My friend Willian open 4 displays and no Summon History.

As a seller I think the 2 most difficult cards to give in a display is Enkil Cog, Summon History and some Legacies cards too.

Enkil Cog is very expensive too, I see a ebay auction end for 81 dolares. I'm thinking in sell someones in near future.

Why do you think this card is so extremely rare/sought? Is it overpowered? Does is enable decks that can win tables (too) easily?

It's just a card you need like 7-10 of to use. Apparently everyone wants to build Summon trick decks, which are fun, but hardly competitive.

I don't really get why people want more than 1 or 2 Cogs. For that one Saulot/khobar towers deck? So they don't have to move it between decks? The card is nice, don't get me wrong, but hardly as good as people tend to think.
