Price Effected by Card Defects

So I bought a copy of Teneb, the Harvester today, among other cards, and as I was sorting though I noticed that the two corners on the right side had missed whatever process during printing that rounds the corners, so my copy has non-rounded corners on one side.

I'm wondering if this makes i makes it more valuble. I think it probably doesn't, but I figured I'd pose the question before I rounded the corners myself or took it back to the shop.

Don't do either.

Miscut corners do make a card more valuable. To what extent is largely dependent upon the who and what of your trade. There's no rigid guide that determines the price increase for various miscuts, but you may get a few extra bucks out of it because you've got a reasonably popular general with micsut corners.

Were I in your position, I'd just play it. It's a cool card, and it's awesome to have misprint generals because they're so special.
