The last time those got printed was in tbc and even back then they were rare, obviously they sell for that.

That mount would lose all its coolness if everyone had it.
I feel kinda sad that I didn't buy them when I had a chance in Cataclysm... They were dupped on my realm and were for like ~120k gold max.
3600 dollars for a virtual mount, some people really have money to waste.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
Dupes don't actually work as usable items. They can't even posted to the AH as far as I know, only traded and once it's traded it disappears from your bag and you just get scammed.

You just would have been scammed. Dupes are easily noticed and removed.
Its just as ugly as my spectral horse I got in TB during cata. Hilarious if someone actually sells for that amount.
You know what the only tcg that ever impressed me was the rooster, now that's a badass mount lol.
I rather Swift Zulian Tiger over Spectral swift tiger. I used to think that magic rooster was all cool and laying golden egg. Turn out it doesn't lay golden eggs or any fancy. It's just for looks i guess. Besides, this spectral swift tiger mount already has lost it coolness.

you could get all the tcg mounts cheap in WoD. im pretty sure there was duping. i bought a rooster for 200k back then. should have got the spectral tiger for the same thing i guess

i mean, people pay thousands of dollars for champagne. its lots of things.
All good. Even though i do think spectral tiger no longer looks good as of cataclysm.
Pre cata
Post cata
I think wow classic also has post cata effects, sadly ((
When the TCG expansion was first released, a gaming store I frequented had one of those cards and held a raffle. Out of some sheer luck, I managed to win the card, used it and got the tigers. Only to find out a week later they were selling on ebay for $800-1000. At the time I kicked myself for not selling it.
Only TCG mount I've managed to grab was a Wooly White Rhino during late WoD when cash was really flowing. Got it for a mere ~750k from the auction house. It's definitely cool in that it's the only available mount with a rhino model, but it's also a rhino model from WotLK, so it looks hopelessly outdated by now.
And frankly that's my main issue with a lot of TCG mounts. TCG trading cards have been discontinued for a long time by now, so most of the TCG mounts use very outdated models which makes otherwise cool mounts look very subpar. They may have been very cool at the time of introduction, but in my opinion, that no longer remains the case.
The spectral tiger's actually an excellent example of this. Sure, it may have been the best way to do a "spectral" mount at the time of introduction, but compared to the Spectral Pterrorwing, the spectral tiger just doesn't hold up.
My Collection
- Bring back my damn zoom distance/MoP Portals - I read OP minimum, 1st page maximum-make wow alt friendly again -Please post constructively(topkek) -Kill myself
I mean, if I had loads of cash and a desire to deversify out of MTG I'd buy all of the mount code cards I could, they are only going to increase in value until the game goes offline.
Someone should send him a link to some expensive magic cards. Those dont even have virtual rewards in a mmo either.
Some of those are actually selling for more than I paid for my house when graded.

I mean this isn't even new...
Right now the current mount mythic mount sells for 9million gold. That is roughly 1700$ us and I know some people we sold it to used tokens to buy it.
Players care far more about rare cosmetics then they do powerful gear.
