I played magic happily for about 15 years, but decided to move on a few years ago. Due to the financial strain of buying a house, I've decided to move on what remains of my collection. I've asked around to some people who I thought would be able to help me out with determining the average value of these particular cards, but I haven't been able to get a straight answer. So I'm hoping some of you might be able to shed some light for me. The large majority is Japanese FOIL, hence the difficulty for me to determine an average value. Here's the list:Japanese: Foil MPS Islands X10 Foil Psychatog X4 Foil Meddling Mage X2 Foil Isochron Scepter X4 Foil Mindslaver X3 Foil Tormods Crypt X3 Foil Quirion Dryad X4 (OG) Foil Extirpate X2 Foil Dark Ritual X4 (Masques) Foil Tendrils of Agony X2 Foil Yawgmoths Bargain Yawgmoths Will X2 Foil Thirst for Knowledge X4 Foil Gifts Ungiven X1 Foil Merchant Scroll X4 Mystical Tutor X3 Foil Tinker X3 Foil Fact or Fiction X2 Foil Brainstorm X4 Foil Frantic Search Foil Minds Desire Foil Echoing Truth X2 Foil Burning Wish Foil Crop Rotation Foil Memory Jar Foil Gemstone Mine X4 Foil Platinum Angel Foil Triskelion Foil Pithing Needle X3 (Saviors) Foil Crucible of Worlds X3 (5th Dawn) Foil City of Brass X4 (7th Ed.) Foil Tanglewire X4 Sphere of Resistance X4 Foil Darksteel Colossus Foil Chrome Mox Foil Genesis Foil Rofellos Llanowar Emissary Foil Phage the Untouchable Lilianna Vess Dark Ritual X8 (Beta Pic) Korean: Mishra's Factory X4 Strip Mine Mana Severance Smokestack Chinese: Time Spiral Foil Mind’s Eye

X2 Foil Worldgorger Dragon X4 Foil Viashino Heretic X1 Foil Goblin Welder X4 Foil Krosan Reclamation Foil Enlightened Tutor Foil Aven Mindcensor Foil Kataki War’s Wage X2 Foil Platinum Angel Xth Foil Ajani Goldmane (original set) Foil Garruk Wildspeaker (original set) Foil Liliana Vess M10 Foil Chandra Nalaar M10 Foil Nissa Revane (original set) Foil Chandra Ablaze (original set) Foil Tezzeret the Seeker (original set) Foil Jenara, Asura of War Foil Chalice of the Void X4 Foil Engineered Explosives Set of CE Power

Because the prices have exploded in the last few years? That being said, sets on some of these make a difference. Crucible - 10th or 5D? Pithing Needle - Saviors or 10th?

Going to go through these as I can, though I don't know the prices on all of these. I'm also going to assume that each card is from the original set unless told otherwise.Foil Meddling Mage X2 - 40 ea Foil Isochron Scepter X4 Foil Mindslaver X3 - 35? (Mostly due to EDH, I could be off a little bit) Foil Tormods Crypt X3 - Foil Quirion Dryad X4 (OG) - someone has them up at $50 on this site, i think that's too high, but IDK how much they see play in Vintage anymore. Foil Extirpate X2 Foil Dark Ritual X4 (Masques) Foil Tendrils of Agony X2 Foil Yawgmoths Bargain - 85 Yawgmoths Will X2 Foil Thirst for Knowledge X4 Foil Gifts Ungiven X1 Foil Merchant Scroll X4 - Mystical Tutor X3 Foil Tinker X3 - 75 ea Foil Fact or Fiction X2 - 50 ea Foil Brainstorm X4 - 175 ea Foil Frantic Search - 30 Foil Minds Desire Foil Echoing Truth X2 Foil Burning Wish Foil Crop Rotation - 40 Foil Memory Jar - 90 Foil Gemstone Mine X4 Foil Platinum Angel Foil Triskelion - 15 Foil Pithing Needle X3 (Saviors) - 110 Foil Crucible of Worlds X3 (5th Dawn) - 175-200 Foil City of Brass X4 (7th Ed.) - Foil Darksteel Colossus Foil Chrome Mox - 100 Foil Genesis - 70 Foil Rofellos Llanowar Emissary - 110 Foil Phage the Untouchable - 40? The only one on EBay is a BIN for a 10th ed one at 27.

Thanks for your help Zakman. That's a good start.I think I'm going to break this down into more digestible chunks... That might make it easier. Does anyone know the value of a Japanese FOIL Merchant Scroll? Paging Michael French... Where are you Frenchie!?!?! =)

You might want to try mtglibrarities for some of this stuff. It's full of snooty Europeans who will send you PMs saying "how much do you want for X?" when you post a "what's this worth" posting, but there's probably some people who know pricing there still.
