Question on some foreign language foils I own
Economics forum
Posted on April 11, 2015, 10:33 p.m. by Poptartz95
I have the following cards,
and
First thing is what are they worth, I have heard so so so many different prices such as "same price as english" I have heard the Avacyn, Angel of Hope
is worth $300, I have heard $160, I have heard $250, does anyone who either has actually owned one before or someone who knows there foreign foils GOOD know what these are worth? Iona, Shield of Emeria like has 0 references on the web, I cant find any.......so........ anyone got any ideas and dont throw a number I mean does someone seriously know a good actual price on these?

vishnarg I guess I am not sure really, a Avacyn, Angel of Hope sold for $250 on ebay, I am not really 100% on selling em but I would consider it, $150 for a Avacyn, Angel of Hope seems odd when one has already sold for more, but again so little amount of references to go off of hard to judge a price.

I really have no idea, but just a quick question. You've posted about these a lot, and I'm starting to get really curious about where you picked up foil German cards?

Well I traded for em haha, Iona, Shield of Emeria was at Channelfireball in santa clara, I just did a basic trade with a guy for some modern stuff, I told him I like angels, he showed me his angel, I kinda cried and said i want it so i got it :p As for Avacyn, Angel of Hope I have had her for awhile.... almost a year we have had our time together, but she was a trade with one of the employees @ a-1 comics in Sacramento :o

German is the only valuable Latin-character language.
$200+ on each is a fairly reasonable start, in my opinion. Because the supply is so low on these, you're in the position to set your own starting offers and see what comes of it.
You might start asking at $300 ea. and come down slowly if they don't sell.

Epochalyptik ya Avacyn, Angel of Hope @ $250+ seems reasonable considering there is some actual proof one has sold for that price, Iona, Shield of Emeria I am like a blind on, literally I question if this is even a real card cause theres nothing out there of her

It's a foil German mythic. There won't be a lot of information about it. That you found info about one of the two cards at all is pretty fortunate.

And since there's no info out there about the price, feel free to set your own. That's the advantage of dealing in very rare prints. You shape the market.

Epochalyptik Could you possibly list the valuability of languages in order for me please? I am just curious at seeing how people value different languages.

Generally, Russian and Korean are the most valuable. Japanese and German are next. Chinese is slightly more valuable than English.
All other Latin-character languages tend to vary in relation to English. Some French cards can be more valuable, but Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian tend to be less valuable.

Could be anywhere from 1 to 2 times the English foil price. Japanese is usually about 3x the price. I would guess German might be about 1.5x the English foil price. If you're looking to sell them, that's a reasonable starting point.
