*Insert random foil Asian Vintage/Legacy staple*

That foil Japanese Desolation Angel that sold for like 320 is probably high on that list.

Edit: Forgot about the test print foils. Those probably occupy most of the list.

That doesn't account for stupid high prices, like foil-japanese. Some of those randoms can be worth ridiculous amounts.

It's also catching Judge foils which throw the values off. Polluted Delta and Flooded Strand are much higher and Vendelion Clique and Bitterblossom are much lower.

I only know that goyf, rishadan port and Jace TMS are worth at least 100. They are definitely under top 10.

1)Is Goblin Matron really that high?

It's only foiling was in 7th. And with most goblin players wanting playsets, the price gets driven up. Not to mention I think the foil ratio was lower back in 7th also. And it is hard to find 7th foils now.

Well are we really counting foreign ones? I wasn't assuming he meant those as well.
But looks like we ended up with interesting lists on both accounts. I would be interested in hearing some prices off those foreign foils

Depends. If you're including test foils, your list would be 10 test foils. If not, and you're including different language iterations, Jaco's list looks accurate, If you're just including Japanese foils (with the assumption that Japanese foils are the most expensive), then someone needs to come up with a new list.

Holy, I have a play set of foil ports and wastelands(the dci ones) where have I been that these are so expensive now? Kind of sucks that they're sitting in a file cabinet 3000 miles away, could use the extra dough. I also have the entire masques block in foil(with a 5th port). Is this stuff sell-able? I'll be home for a couple weeks in July.

SCG Legacy is driving most of the prices.

I was of course speaking solely of production foils, and not test prints.

Japanese Foil Desolation Angel is kind of a fringe thing where the price bounces up and down. Yes, one ended at $3xx, one ended at 15x, one ended at 20x. They're really all over the board, and not consistently as high as the other cards I mentioned, nor is the demand there.

Thanks for everyone's responses so far. I did not know you could sort the MOTL price guide.

The list I have compiled so far is:
1. Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2. Tarmogoyf
3. Rishadan Port
4. Goblin Matron
5. Goblin Welder
6. Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
7. Karmic Guide
8. Grim Monolith
9. Sword of Fire and Ice
10. Misdirection

Sorry for the confusion, I was hoping to get a feel for the most expensive english foil cards.

I took the delmited version and stuck it into excel and sorted it there. You can't sort it directly on the website as far as I know. Glad it was useful.

You need to put Polluted Delta on there. It is no lower than 6th. The last one that sold on Ebay brought 88. A playset brought 96.50 each.
