Hello guys,

I came across this forum and wanted to ask if someone can give me a rough estimation of the value of the following cards:

- Ancestral Recall (beta), NM
- Mox Ruby (beta), NM
- Mox Sapphire (beta), NM

I can upload pictures in the next few days, but I need a rough estimation now. Last time I played MTG was in 2005 and I'm suprised how much the game has changed...

Thx in advance
Impuls3

A good resource is mtgstocks.com

For example,It says that ruby has a mid price of $1305, with a range of $1234-$1374

I don't think this takes condition Into account...

Tcgplayer.com is a good resource for how much you could buy it for right now...they don't have a NM ruby, but a lightly played ruby on there is 1234-1374

Starcitygames is another source, though they usually overcoat things. They have it listed as $1500 but out of stock. (They will buy it for $1000 cash or $1300 store credit, though I don't recomend doing that)

If they are truly NM (conditions have gotten more in depth and precise) I would grade them and let ebay decide. Any amount we say is less than what people with infinite funds will pay for a BGS9-10 beta p9.

And you will get hundreds of PM'S now on low ball offers.

So foil bronze sable isn't a fair trade?

But he is so bold and so shiney!

I uploaded an image... it were taken with my Galaxy S5. The dot pattern is not visible (images are too blurry I have no camera at the moment), but they all have the pattern, blue layer etc. and are no fakes. The back of the cards looks exactly the same like the front. Only minor damage when you look carefully. Any opinions?

If the surface is clean, then you have some pretty rare well conditioned beta power sapphire and recall.
the ruby has one ding on the top left and bottom right, but i would expect that the other 2 are able to get rated good if you want to let them graded.

Yes if the surfaces and backs are as good as they seem, grade the sapphire and recall.

Just another question... if you look at the following scans you can notice that the card title, artist and card type are thicker/little off on the mox ruby. Is the Ruby a potential fake?

im by no means an expert but it just looks as though the print is just thicker or shadowed from the run. the rest matches up well.

These all appear to be real. None of these are worth grading though. Without grading a 9 or more, grading is worthless. I say sell these as SP and be done with it, and save the $70 in grading/shipping fees. You will lose it in ebay/paypal fees anyways. Just my experienced thoughts though.
