If you bought one copy of every common and uncommon from a set a month after release, the asking prices for that collection went up about 20% a year on average. This covers sets released since 2018, using TCGPlayer asking prices as aggregated by MTGStocks.

How it's calculated:

  • Each set's line is the average price across its commons and uncommons, rebased to 100 at one month after release
  • Every set counts equally, whatever its size or price level
  • Starts in 2018 because that's where MTGStocks' price history begins, so every set has real launch-window data
  • Art Series and novelty sets (Un-sets, 30th Anniversary, Mystery Booster) are excluded

The obvious caveat: these are asking prices, not buylist. Actually selling a stack of bulk at these numbers isn't realistic, so read this as how prices moved, not a return you could cash out.

You can change the filters yourself (rarity, buy-in timing, release years, formats) here: mtg.blaketurney.com
