Italian Legends cards

AwaySinceMirage · January 11, 2013, 03:33:47 AM

First post!
I'm back in Magic for the first time since 1996-1998. Back in the day, for signing up with DCI, Wizards gave out an Italian-language Legends booster, when English-language ones were already getting hard to find.
What are these worth now relative to English prices? Anywhere near par? Even at say 50% the rare I got in this booster is lucky-for-me a top-5 out of this set, and probably my most valuable card from the 90's, if Italian is worth anything at all.
Yes I'd part with it. Anyone out there know the interest level in Italian Legends?

I'm certainly very interested in it!

It does actually increase the values. Because the specific card is mostly printed in English, the same card in Italian, Russian or korian, for instance is printed less and that means is harder to obtain, which will raise the price. Granted it doesn't raise it to incredibly much but it does raise it a bit. I am also interested in what card it is that u have. What is it?

It's {Nether Void} ("Vuoto Abissale"). Never been reprinted on paper, and never given alternate art.
Playing vintage and legacy don't interest me because I was away for so long. Playing standard does interest me because I might only stick around for two years this time. how's my chances for a playset of Thragtusk for this mint/near mint Vuoto Abissale...

The few italian versions I'm seeing are going for 130 to 150 bucks. Got a real gem there, man!

Funny we should meet, I got a playset of Thragtusk and I don't play standard anymore.

Nether Void means your own spells too though, correct? In which case I don't have tons of use for it besides to grief people in EDH while I {Æther Vial} forever.

It's great for man-land decks with stuff like {mutavault}, {mishra's factory}, {dryad arbor}, etc. could be wicked!

Thanks everyone for responding!
Regarding Italian {Nether Void} "Vuoto Abissale"
For someone who has never done ebay, or a yard sale or any collectibles trade of any kind, this is a new experience for me, discovering something with value that started from nothing, pretty exciting.
I'm also going to admit and apologize for taking a lazy way. Means a couple things, first Is I'll commit to making a trade here on this app and not go anywhere else. I'll open a thread over in the trade section soon. Second thing about being lazy is I'll only start take at a ready playset 4-of of something, to get me straight into standard cards I'm not currently in, like Thragtusk. Apologies to all the great folks with 1x and 2x of great stuff, for my angle. Thanks again for all the responses and PMs.

It is good in a walker deck with jace, elspeth, etc. and yeah manlands too!

Thanks for the free advertising, Coffee Vampire! I played no Constructed in the 90's and now can never play Legacy/Vintage. I wouldn't have known the first thing about how to context it. Umm, good in black?
I'll add that it would appeal to me to lean toward a deal with someone who seems they will play it and looks forward to playing it.
