Realistically, the sheet is probably worth $150, at most $200-250. Wizards has been giving out sheets at GPs, PTs, Worlds and conventions very routinely over the past few years and the true sheet collectors are few and far between.They generally only give out Foil sheets now of the most current sets, so don't expect any kind of premium because they are all foil nowadays. People tend to overvalue their sheets and cite ridiculous prices quite often on feebay. Most of the time, they have to relist them and they still don't sell. I'd say the total amount of "real" sheet collectors out there you can probably count on one, maybe two, hands. I have people at every major US event try to get sheets for me and we usually get them at $75 for a common/uncommon sheet and $150-200 on the rare/mythic sheet unless there is something compelling in that set. For example, I paid $150 for the common Zendikar sheet because of the full art lands, and $300 for the rare sheet because of the fetch lands. The real question to ask yourself is: do I want to move this for value, or hang it on my wall? Keep in mind, it will be several hundred dollars to get that sheet custome framed! Hope it helps!

what he said. this are given out all over the place now. Even smaller magic conventions like PAX, Comic-con, etc have uncut sheets as prizes for some tournaments.150 i'd say is the going rate for random ones.

Probably a dumb question, but is it possible to cut the sheet up and have all the cards to sell or use as singles?

Getting the cards cut properly is very difficult and costly. Without going into further detail, the answer is no.

no. I had heard that people who won foil sheets were given the option of taking sealed sets instead. Were you given such an option? The guy that won the foil sets just shipped them straight to CFB. Not a terrible plan I suppose.

Yes it is! But in order to cut it precisely you need to have it done at a print house where they have a large and precise guillotine. Only problem is that you'll end up with a set of cards with square corners.

For the Worlds side events, that option did not exist. Thank you for all of the information. I just got several offers today and sold it for $300. Not bad I guess.
