Magic: The Gathering fans, brace yourselves— the Marvel crossover is here, and it’s swinging into chaos! The highly anticipated MTG Universes Beyond: Marvel’s Spider-Man set(eBay link), set for release in late September 2025, has ignited a presale storm on eBay that’s nothing short of insane. As a die-hard MTG collector myself, I’ve seen hype before, but this Spider-Man bundle takes it to superhero levels.

Picture this: Play Booster Boxes, packed with 30 packs of web-slinging cards featuring Spidey, his villains, and alternate-art foils, are listing for around $205 on presale. That might sound reasonable at first—after all, standard MTG boxes hover in the $100-150 range—but scalpers and speculators are flipping the script. Reddit threads are buzzing with predictions that these will vanish from shelves at $70 retail, only to resurface on eBay for a jaw-dropping $700 or more. Why? Pure demand. Marvel’s iconic web-head colliding with MTG’s strategic gameplay is a collector’s dream, drawing in comic book enthusiasts who wouldn’t touch a Planeswalker otherwise.

eBay listings for the Spider-Man Bundle—complete with 9 Play Boosters, a foil promo card, and basic lands—are popping up daily, with some sellers promising free shipping to sweeten the deal. But bids are climbing fast, fueled by FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). One bundle presale for September 26th is already drawing watchers, while others tease “limited edition” status that screams future value spikes.

This isn’t just trading cards; it’s a cultural mashup exploding in real-time. If you’re eyeing a piece of this arachnid action, act quick— or prepare to pay superhero premiums. Will prices crash post-release, or will Spidey swing even higher? Only time (and eBay) will tell. What’s your take—worth the hype?
