how about a price guide for widely traded foreign foils (i.e. crucible, gifts, yadda yadda yadda) and maybe foriegn bb stuff??edit: also are the foils listed (prices) in the foil section including foreign foils??

Hmmm. Nice idea, but I don't think it would really work very well. Lumping everything together as "foreign" would turn out very misleading, since different languages tend to have different modifiers, such as Asian-language cards. If you break it out by language, the numbers are going to be small enough as to make the price pretty questionable due to the small sample size.__________________

but how would it be any different than listing seven different savannah lions its easy theres 3 major foil crazes, german, japanese, and s-chinese(even though there seems to be 97459871432561 boxes of this stuff floting around) well i guess to lesser extent russian too. just some of the bigger playable cards is all i would ask not like whats a foil onslaught glory seeker going for, but like whats a japanese foil polluted delta going for, am i supposed to just ask nderdog how much my 73 foreign foils (of all different languages) go for, i'm sure he knows most off the top of his head, but it would take a lot of research, compared to the initial page start up time and maintenance. i don't know though just an idea

On the contrary, I am one of the last people on the planet to ask about prices. I just know the strengths and weaknesses of the price guide, and know that it wouldn't work well. You don't make a change like that for a handful of cards, you make it global. That means that a lot of less-than-intelligent people are going to use very bad prices on random crap foreign foils, which degrades the value of the price guide. If you want to know, ask in Trade and Values, where knowledgeable people will give you solid answers. __________________
