I "have it all" but still can't see foil prices. Why?

No idea, but this question doesn't belong in rules. Can a mod please move this to the right section?

Piotr

Settings -> Fetch Foil Prices?

I've run the fetch foil prices multiple times and it never seemed to work for me either.

Doesnt work for me either

Piotr

Does it crash, or what?

reezel

I hit the button and it says "Downloading Foil Prices" for like a second. Then if I hit Back a message pops up on the bottom that says "Processing Foil Prices." It goes through that for a while and when it's done I still don't have any foil prices.

Piotr

Try downloading again and test it on Abandoned Outpost, please.

reezel

I just checked Abandoned Outpost and it was updated with foil prices. I was checking Corpse Jack Menace for my own and it never updated.

Piotr

See, checking one example doesn't prove the whole theory. If it wasn't sold on eBay and picked by Magic Traders, it's not in iMtG.

Having said that, Zur the Enhanter should be there but isn't. Back to drawing board :P

It looks to me like pouring through thier data that my problem is obvious. They don't have M13 or Return to Ravnica in their data at all. Since my collection is in those two sets, none of my foil prices were updated.

Piotr

We should look for another foil price source then.

There was a pretty lame problem with the very last batch, that's why Zur wasn't there. Fixed in the next version.

Why aren't the foil prices pulled from tcg?

Piotr

Because TCG does not provide. Does it?

NyghtHawk

I don't know how you pull your data exactly but you can search tcg for foils. Even in this app when you click the regular price and it brings you to tcg, you can then select foil on that page on the left and it shows just the foil prices. So I figure there's got to be a way to pull those prices if they're there.
