Korean Ashiok

Economics forum

So as many of you may know, the Korean printing of Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver was printed with a +1 on her first ability instead of a +2.

I happened to open one in the single Korean booster pack that I bought, and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas of what it might be worth. Do you think the card will have some added collector value because of the mistake?

I'm not an expert, but I believe misprints are valued higher than usual prints. The fact that its a foriegn language might drive up the price too.

Hey man, I am interested in picking up that card. I can be reached on twitter @j_schofield.

I've seen them running for $200. Do I think that's a fair price... hard to say, I don't know how many were misprinted this way.

One sold on ebay for little over 20$ I don't think its exactly worth 200$ considering all the Korean versions have the misprint, if it was a rare misprint that didn't happen through the entire printed versions of the card id say it would be alot more "rare" like if it was Korean and did say +2 then you may have something awesome

Vindemiatrixx: If it was printed as +2 it wouldn't be a misprint

It would be in a way considering all the korean versions have the misprint. lol. Because then it would become a misprint of a misprint unless of course they fix the issue. However, still nowhere close to 200$ card lol

Oh I don't argue that it shouldn't be 200$, though Ashiok is pretty powerful

He/She is indeed. Thought about tossing a copy of her in my deck Mill Monstrosity but can't seem to want to replace anything ha. I don't understand the price of Thoughtseize kinda odd if you ask me.

@Vindemiatrixx: What's odd about the price of Thoughtseize ? It's easily one of the three most powerful discard spells of all time.

As for the Korean misprint Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver , I'd probably jump to capitalize on the $200 eBay price. List yours and see if it will sell. If the misprint is not corrected, the price of the misprints will decline as supply increases. Also, Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver itself is not a fantastic card in my opinion. The Korean ones will begin to trend back down toward English prices, even with the misprint.

Of course, this is my speculation on the subject. I don't know for sure what will happen.

@Epochalyptik I agree with you actually and if they do release a corrected version then the misprints will become that much more valuable because they are now limited edition albeit having a pretty big supply.
