Three Star Trek Cards Lose More Than 73% Before Release

Genesis Device, Georgiou, Terran Emperor, and Dr. Beverly Crusher lost 73.2% to 82.5% of their paper prices between early November and November 9, according to Scryfall’s price histories. All 3 declines began before Star Trek’s prerelease week put the new set into players’ hands.

The timing points to a prerelease price reset as supply reached stores. Wizards’ WPN dates page says participating stores could sell the full product lineup during November 6–12, ahead of the wider release. Listing counts also increased for Genesis Device and Dr. Beverly Crusher, though those counts measure offers, not copies sold.

Genesis Device

Genesis Device fell from $9.56 on November 2 to $2.56 on November 9, a 73.2% decline in Scryfall’s paper price history. It was already down to $6.43 on November 5, before prereleases began, then reached $3.30 on November 7.

Mana Market Watch’s regular-card listing snapshots counted 58 matching TCGplayer listings on November 6; its November 9 check counted 63. That is a modest increase in available offers alongside a much steeper price decline. Separately, Cardboard Deals recorded 13 eBay sales dated November 1–9, not TCGplayer transactions.

Genesis Device appeared in 2 of 154 published Modern decks in the week of November 9, both Amulet Titan lists. That is an early competitive foothold in a small sample, rather than broad adoption capable of explaining its earlier $9.56 price.

Georgiou, Terran Emperor

Georgiou, Terran Emperor suffered the largest percentage drop: $18.40 on November 1 to $3.22 on November 9, down 82.5% in Scryfall’s dated price history. The price reached $7.48 on November 6 and $4.18 the following day.

Mana Market Watch counted 52 matching listings for the regular card on TCGplayer on November 6. By November 10, MTGMeta’s regular-card price snapshot put the TCGplayer market price at $2.95 and the lowest listing at $2.49. Asking prices below recent sales leave room for the market price to fall further.

Cardboard Deals recorded 3 eBay sales across November 6 and November 7, including a foil extended-art copy. A separate November 9 seller listing reported 2 regular copies sold. Those different treatments and isolated transactions do not form a comparable sales-volume trend. Competitive use was similarly narrow: 1 of 64 published Standard decks in the week of November 9, in Reanimator.

Dr. Beverly Crusher

Dr. Beverly Crusher dropped from $33.90 on November 2 to $7.54 on November 9, a 77.8% decline in Scryfall’s price history. The sharpest step came before prerelease: $29.87 on November 4 became $12.53 on November 5.

BaseMTG’s November 3 snapshot counted 25 TCGplayer listings, while Mana Market Watch’s November 6 check counted 55 matching listings for the regular, near-mint English card. The snapshots point toward more offers, but are not a complete-market census.

ValueMyCard’s recorded sales history lists 15 regular copies across 13 transactions from October 4 through November 2. That period ends before the steepest decline. Dr. Beverly Crusher appeared in 1 of 64 published Standard decks in the week of November 9, a Lifegain list playing 4 copies; tournament lists do not measure Commander demand.

Star Trek Releases on November 13

Different price types produce different snapshots. EchoMTG’s November 11 daily prices, using TCGplayer mid prices, quoted Genesis Device at $3.10, Georgiou, Terran Emperor at $3.74, and Dr. Beverly Crusher at $8.76. Those are separate observations from Scryfall’s November 9 prices, not evidence of a rebound.

The next supply milestone is November 13, when Star Trek reaches its wider tabletop release. With all 3 prices already sharply lower and competitive adoption limited, further release-week supply could keep pressure on these cards.
