Foil values

[RevanJJ]

How do most of you value foils?

Especially when nothing is coming up on app or elsewhere.


Basically what would a foil of say a $6 (as an example, random #) card usually be?

[Kaleo42]

50%-100% greater value so $9-$12 for a regular foil. Bow it gets much greater if it's a super competitive staple like {ponder}.

[Coffee Vampire]

Dude it totally depends. If it is a common yet sees high play, the foil might be 5 bucks. If it is a mythic rare yet jank, it might be a buck.

[Poof]

Sometimes I'll use what starcity games sells them for.  My store looks at magic.tcgplayer at the card and scrolls down to where the foil prices start coming up and takes the lowest common price like a group all at 2.00

I usually just use starcity for foil prices

[peepew]

If you click on the prices it pulls up the tcg page and you can scroll price pages and around page 4 it starts to show foil prices

Me too and tack on 20%. And if I'm trading I take off 30% of the other trader value.

Mine is showing 0's for many cards. Including ones I've been checking

I feel like I missed a joke on this... 

Zendikar land =.75
Foil zendikar land = 6-8$

[BlackJester]

My favorite example:
{Goblin Matron} - 7th Ed. ~$0.84

🌟Foil {Goblin Matron}🌟- 7th Ed. $90 - $100

+10000%

[RevanJJ]

Ok so.. A foil {Tarland, the Sky Summoner} would be about $9 ?

No you can buy it in a deck box so the price is lowered signifigantly but then raised slightly by delver play.

[RevanJJ]

Well base value is $6.50...and it's in a $15 box

[Gorzo]

My favorite example:
{Goblin Matron} - 7th Ed. ~$0.84

...what the crap? Haha

Foil prices are weird. I usually assume its 1.5x the normal price, unless it's a "popular" card seeing play (delver), or an EDH general or something. People love foil generals. It's the only reason I can figure why foil {Mikaeus the Unhallowed} is so pricey.
