Mark Rosewater - Head Designer of Magic the Gathering.
- As the man most in charge of making the cards, I think it would be interesting to know his opinion on price fluctuations and Magic in general. He has also been playing the game since its creation, so he knows a lot about card prices from when the game first started. He also championed the rise of the Pro Circuit, so is in a way responsible for a portion of the second Market.

Kelly Reid - Managing Editor & Founding Partner of Quiet Speculation
- As a co-founder of the site I'm looking to write for, Kelly has intimate knowledge of exactly what I'm wanting to write about. He has been a major force in the Financial aspect of Magic the Gathering for a few years, and even owns his own store in Lafayette.

Douglas Linn - Graduate Student at IU and Law expert at Quiet Speculation
- Doug is another important member of Quiet Speculation, and approaches everything in a very business oriented manor. He works specifically within the eternal formats of Magic, and thus would be a great resource when it comes to pricing and strategy of the Eternal crowd.

Stephen Menendian - Leading Expert on Eternal formats with the Magic Community
- Stephen is regarded very highly among the eternal format crowd, and is often on the cusp of any outbreaks in decks or deck tech in the format. As such, he has a lot of influence when it comes to card prices and many people respect anything he says as near gospel truth.

Ross - Person in charge of Black Lotus Project
- While I don't know his last name yet, his email address on his site gives his first. This site catalogs the day by day price changes of magic cards, making it a fantastic tool to work with when trying to determine prices. Interviewing the creator seems like a no-brainer.
