That's worth about what a regular one is worth and even less to some people. If the front was misprinted then at least you'd have players who want to show it off trying to use it. But hidden on the back means that only a sprint collector is going to want that - and it's really not that rare. From what people are saying too, MM15 has a lot of *****ty printer issues so it's probably not even that rare.
To find people who want it, I think that ebaying the card and trying to hype the misprint is your best bet.
The card might be worth some extra to the right people, but the right person is most likely the guy who has the other half of the blotch. For most people that Hierarch will be slightly less valuable than normal one.
Quite often backside misprints are less desired, as they cannot be played if the misprint shows (marked card) and as the front is normal, there's no coolness factor for using it, unless people see the back, which they cannot see.
If the colorless area would be larger, the value would also be higher, but as it is, I would follow Galspanics advice and see if anybody on eBay desperately needs the card.
These guys are 100% correct. I have a couple back blotch misprints, so what do I do to show that off, flip the card around in the page? Now you can't tell if it's a Noble Hierarch or a Swamp. Throw it up on your favorite auction site, and see what you get.

Are empty Beta starter decks worth anything? I happened upon a stack of Unlimited/Revised cards about a month ago, and the container they came in also held a whole bunch of empty Beta, Unlimited, and Revised starter decks, most of which had the rulebooks included. No Beta cards, just the boxes.
I just opened a box of MM2015, and pulled an oddity. In the foil slot in one of the packs, there was a card with a regular back, but a solid black front with the word DISCARD printed in foil horizontally across the card. Anyone else see anything like this? Any value to it?
I just opened a box from MM2015 and I opened a foil Comet Storm (yay...) and a foil cryptic both having problems from being printed. Should I send for wizards to change them, or hold on to them?

Yeah, actually, the Beta boxes are worth a few bucks. The rulebooks are actually probably worth more. You have to find the right collector, but they're definitely better than "recycle".

We've heard about several of these in the Rumor Mill's various "let's complain about Modern Masters" threads. So they're not super uncommon. I don't feel comfortable dropping a number here so early in the season, but for the similar Planechase card, I remember they were going for about $10-$15.

Hold/sell. That's a significant Cryptic misprint. Again, it's early in the product release so I don't feel comfortable with a number, but I'd say you're probably looking at double the price of a correct foil Cryptic.

I need your opinion. My friend has a MM2015 Vapor Snag and Apostle's Blessing. They are miscut a lot, but it doesn't show another card. Also, 1 corner on each of them is a square corner.
Now my idea is that they are not worth much more than normal, especially with all of the issues that MM2015 is having. What should I offer the guy? (It may end up being not worth it to him to sell or trade.)

As usual, I'll ask for pictures, and take a stab without pictures.
The Blessing is not really going to be that valuable at all. You're basically trading for the Vapor Snag and getting the Blessing as a throw-in, since Vapor Snag is a real card in Modern. I'd say that the Snag could go for almost ten bucks to the right collector, but it's probably more like five. The square corner is going to add more to the value than the off-center - there are a LOT of off-center MM2 cards, and off-center without showing another card isn't too pricey.

I just pulled a Creakwood Liege from a MM15 pack. The foil oval at the bottom in mostly cut off so that it is crescent shaped. Is this worth more than the regular card? If so, any guesses on how much?

We've heard a LOT of Modern Masters II misprint stories. While this is going to be worth more than a regular one, the problem is that the primary crowd that wants Creakwoods doesn't care how pimp they are, so it's not going to be a huge multiplier. It's $3 on TCG mid for a regular one - you might be able to get $4.50, but I'd be surprised if it went to $6.
Although frankly, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if someone decided to collect a completely misprinted set of Modern Masters 2015. If that happens - or better yet, gets to be a thing that excites Internet People - then you'll luck out.

As Knick stated above, there have been a ton of quality errors with MM2015. Misplaced foil holograms are one of the prime offenders.
I do not know anyone who values the foil sticker being misplaced. I honestly cannot see that going for much more than the regular one, possibly less due to the type of misprint. If it had square corners or was miscut in some fashion, then I could see it being worth more.

That makes sense, I didn't think it would be worth much more. Do you think it might be worth something if I hold on to it for a while? If not I would probably just trade it at the usual price to avoid the difficulty of finding a buyer.

Funny story, I just got two copies of Niv-Mizzet yesterday, and the holograms are kind of blobby-shaped, as though parts of the oval flaked off or something. I didn't notice until I was doing my OCD "which hologram has the mana symbols that match the card colors" thing.
I don't think that they're any more or less valuable than any other copy of Niv-Mizzet. It's just something that happened.

Are crimped cards popular with collectors? Any idea if this is worth anything?
Crimped cards are in fact popular with misprint collectors. That's a pretty good crimp. Unfortunately, it's on a Megrim. Your value multiplier will be great, but it's a fifty-cent card to begin with. You can probably get five bucks, maybe a little more, but it's not the next treskilling yellow or anything.

How far miscut do you need to get to start seeing a big multiplier? We had a Modern Masters draft where a number of miscut rares were opened. Unfortunately the Fulminator Mage isn't miscut as much as the sphinx. What kind of value would these have? Much of any and are these miscut enough to be desirable by people?

To start seeing a big multiplier? Sadly, you need to see part of another card, and it gets bigger if you can tell what the other card is. You'll still get a multiplier with that Mage, just because one of the borders is completely gone, but it's not going to be huge. Fortunately, it's a good starting number. And while your multiplier with the Sphinx will be higher, a decent number times almost nothing is ... probably still under ten bucks.
Alas, the sheer number of Modern Masters 2 misprints is pretty staggering. While those are miscut enough to be appealing to a collector (as opposed to the normal 75-25 miscuts that just aren't quite off enough), you may be looking at a saturated market. I don't know for sure; I'm cutting back at the moment so I haven't gone looking lately, I just felt I should mention it.
PS - "Miscut" is typically one non-hyphenated word.

I recently bought a box of Japanese 4th Edition FBB stuff on Craigslist. I've eBayed the Elemental Blasts and Llanowar Elves, but am having some trouble moving my 7 Dark Rituals (right now just selling a playset) and tons of basic land (200+, all NM) I have. I've sold 10x Islands for $26, 25, thereabouts, but the other lands are just sitting there (as are my remaining 30 islands). I don't want to give them away but also want to move them. There aren't a lot of other options on eBay right now - someone selling 10x plains for $29.99 (I'm asking far less) and someone selling individual lands for about $2.99 each plus shipping, which is, again, way more than me.
Is there just a really small market for this stuff? What's a reasonable price to sell them at without just giving them away (I bought the whole lot of FBB stuff for $20, so I'm not worried about making my money back, but that doesn't mean I want to just hand them out for far less than their value...)? Is there someplace other than eBay that would be a better outlet?
Any info for me would be great - I know next to nothing about the value of foreign cards.

What language are these? If they're japanese or korean... great! You have valuable cards. Anything else and even the lands are only work a buck or so each, maybe less.

Lands are probably around a buck a piece, islands 2. Aside from that, value cards are probably:
Swords to Plowshares

Mishra's Factory
Wrath of God
Winter Orb
Birds of Paradise
Strip Mine
Hurkyl's Recall

Unstamped cards are pretty common unfortunately. You might be able to squeeze a buck or two from some interested party, but otherwise don't expect anything more.

Thanks! That explains why, apart from the initial rush on Islands, I've had trouble moving the other lands I have. Unfortunately, it looks like the lands were all that had any value apart from some Dark Rituals (that I can't seem to sell, so maybe they don't have any value, although there are some completed/sold eBay auctions), some U/R Elemental Blasts, and I sold some Llanowar Elves. No "big money" cards from your list, though. Thanks again for your help!

Oh yeah, I forgot the commons like that. Dark rituals, blasts and elves should all sell eventually. Just takes time to find a buyer for more niche stuff like this.
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
Clean sweep.
