Foil CNS Brainstorm

I recently opened a foil Brainstorm from Conspiracy, and was wondering if it would be worth holding onto in the long run.
I learned the hard way once that good foils can go way up in price after a while. Is this foil expected to go up? Maybe down? Maybe stay about where it is? I only use it in EDH, so I don't really know the popularity or uses of it.
Basically, should I hold onto it for a while, in hopes the price rises? Also, what's the current price on it? I've been having trouble finding one.

@xlaleclx: Do you have anything to substantiate that claim?

A foil Conspiracy Brainstorm is priced around $65. It's been slightly dropping since Conspiracy has released a fair amount of them into the wild, at least in comparison to other foil runs of Brainstorm .
It's not going to hit FNM or Mercadian Masques foil prices since there's just going to be more of them in circulation. Where it continues to trend from here depends a lot on how much Conspiracy gets opened. But given how much play Brainstorm sees and still the relative rarity of the foil version, I think if you hold it a year it's most certainly going to be worth more than it is now.

The foil brainstorm was $50 on SCG on release, it's $60 now. Legacy players play the same deck for years and many try to foil their entire decks. There's a massive demand for the foil brainstorms and not much conspiracy is being opened since it's not generally given out for prize support and it's not drafted very much. People don't want the FNM promo brainstorms since it's a promo. Any legacy player looking for brainstorms will be picking the conspiracy ones over the promos no matter their price. It's only a matter of time before the conspiracy foil is more than the promo which is currently $100.

Um, any Legacy player will be picking the Mercadian Masques pack foils because they're the only ones that don't look like trash.

I was never talking about the masques foils. Obviously those will be the best and most expensive.

"Retail sites raised their prices so its worth more now" its done nothing but drop in value and will continue or hold around $45/50 until conspiracy goes out of print officially amd the will rise over the years

It will probably be worth more than the FNM promo pretty soon. Could easily be $150 in a year.
