So, I've got a foiled Living Wish (not judge promo), and it's in German (I believe). I know a foiled one in english is ~$10, and I hear that certain languages have a markup of 30% but I want some clarification.
Thanks in advance.
Star City Games is where we go for non-english singles, but usually valued at around the english price (locally), about 2-5% higher depending on card and demand. Currently though the only non-english foil available on scg is the japanese one @ 35

Thanks for the input -- and thanks for the research, gufymike.
I also have a japanese Obzedat, non-foil that I need to know the price of.
Maybe Epochalyptik can help?

Foil German Living Wish should be between $30-40.
Japanese Obzedat, Ghost Council should be $17-20.

I would be interested in your japanese obzedat if you are willing to trade it

Epochalyptik -- Oh wow, that's pretty awesome. I have no use for it, I got it near mint in a repack. I know you like foreign cards. Would you be interested?
And sorry, Obzedat isn't for trade, I use it in a deck.

It depends on what you want for it. Also, double-check the language; a German Living Wish should be "Lebender Wunsch."

Yes, It is German. My mom is from Germany so I had her confirm.
I would actually love to trade it for some EDH cards that I need. Totally up to you, though.

You can always check eBay for some pricing schemes of specific foreign printings. I found a site once that was all about Euro card exchange (can't recall it at the moment) but again that is located in Europe so you'd have to deal with conversion ratios as well. Best bet is whatever language you want. (for French cards - ebay.fr)

It depends on the desirability of the card really. Foreign foil snap casters, lilianas, lands, tend to be marked higher due to their rarity, desirability, and playability. I am not sure about living wish though
