Another year, another core set. As with every "Magic: The Gathering" expansion released by Wizards of the Coast, "Magic 2014" features several cards which are worth more than the price of a booster pack. It's pivotal for you to know the value of your cards while trading, otherwise you could easily be ripped off. Here are the top ten "Magic 2014" money cards as of this article's publication date.

Make sure to be on the lookout for these hot chase rares in your "M14" sealed deck and draft pools at your local game store or on "Magic Online." These "Magic 2014 Core Set" money cards can be used to fund several future events and/or be traded for an overwhelming amount of less expensive "Magic: The Gathering" cards.
As a general rule of thumb, "Magic: The Gathering" cards are usually worth their most the first few weeks of a set's release until major tournament results begin to affect their prices. The vast majority of new "Magic" cards will actually decrease in value the longer a set has been in circulation as more players acquire the cards. Only a few select cards will raise in value: "Sleeper" cards which prove themselves to be format defining and are "discovered" after extensive play testing.
The secondary market value of "Magic: The Gathering" cards can fluctuate rapidly. As such, we recommend that players always look up the prices of their cards using the same website for both players during a trade. An internet connected cell phone or tablet can mean a world of difference and several hundreds of dollars when trading your "Magic: The Gathering" cards, so don't be caught off guard.
