What do you reckon it is worth??

A friend of mine was getting out of Magic and sold me his Avacyn, Angel of Hope non-foil for $25. Upon closer inspection, it seems to be a foreign language printing, Korean to be precise.
Now, I know Epochalyptik has posted before that Korean printings of a card have a higher value than their English counterpart, but how much do you reckon in this case?
Also, will Korean printings retain their premium over English, or could that change in the future? Should I try and trade off or keep?
At the moment, English is priced at $39 on SCG.
Thank you all for your help!

Eh, non foil won't command a huge premium. There will be a decent price change, but I wouldn't expect much more than a 10-15% increase. When people are looking to pimp decks, they go all the way, so it has to be foreign and foil.
In other news, holy shit Avacyn has become expensive. Glad I got her before she rotated

In general, a lot of the premium value that foreign cards command comes from foils. I would not expect more than a 10-15 dollar increase from the english price, max.

ThisIsBullshit: Honestly, I don't know either lol. It was a late night after work so maybe I wasn't thinking straight. I guess it turned out ok then:)

What I want to know is how didn't you notice it was Korean in the first place?
Lol but I don't think it's going anywhere, Avacyn seems to be at a stable price and as far as I know, Korean cards are usually more expensive than their English counterparts.
If you need it, keep it. If not, it'll probably be worth about the same next year, so sell it now if you want to.
