I go to the actual website of dealers like T CGplayer.com and put the foils in my cart.  I do that for most trades actually.

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

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

+10000%

...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.

And most 7th edition foils are worth a lot

My LGS has a neat policy on selling foils, the either sell them at the star city price or at double the non-foil value, whichever is lowest.  So if star city charges $1 for a non foil but $3 for the foil, they sell it at $2

I use starcity for 99% of my prices if this app doesn't have it or if I'm doing IN person trades

Yea I think foils were a lot more rare back then.  Look at Urza's block foils as well.

It was the earliest printing of "Mogg Mom" in foil, it's black boarder, and it's popular in EDH and other eternal (read 💰) formats.
