Years ago, I sold the playset on ebay for five dollars over the NM value. Not saying that is what they still go for, but an example. That may have just been a fluke or somebody paying for the convenience of the playset in one spot.

One of these day I have to get myself organizized.
I have a 1996 arena fireball and incinerate that have square corners.
I was doing some research and found that some people allegedly cut up uncut sheets in a misprinted fashion to increase value.
Q1: is there any way to tell if that happened here?
Q2: Are uncut sheets really cuttable into making actual cards? IE if they want through the machine that cuts them at the printer they would be regular cards?

A1: If someone used scissors or a knife, the difference in the edges will be pretty obvious. If someone got them professionally cut - probably no way to tell. Check the edges and corners very carefully.
A2: Uh, yeah. All cards originally come from uncut sheets - that's how they're printed. Carta Mundi then cuts the sheets into individual cards. If someone got their uncut sheet professionally cut, then it's functionally identical to a sheet that was professionally cut by Carta Mundi.

Can I get a value on everything except the Plague Myr, I've already found it. (can't find anything else, trust me, I looked)
Honestly, not too much. You're really going to have to get lucky to find someone who wants a foil Beastmaster's Magemark, and finding someone who not only wants a Japanese foil, but is willing to pay extra for the privilege? The demand just isn't there. You might be able to get $2 per card if you just post them at that price and wait, but really, chaff is chaff no matter what the language.

I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
Price check on a Chinese Sulfuric Vortex from Scourge? I can only find one, listed on CCGHouse at $3.58, which is less than the English version at $3.98.
What I know:
Set of 5 Prophecy Avatars - Japanese square-cut test prints
What I don't know:
Their estimated value.
What I can realistically expect to get for them.
Wow, that's pretty cool. Of course, I'm a big rk post fan, so that probably influences my judgment. The Avatar cycle isn't really played much - I can't remember the last time I saw one outside a trade binder. Even Avatar of Woe never quite makes the cut (around here, at least). I couldn't tell you a good number, but I'd be very curious to see what you think is fair.
Are you actually looking to move them, or just trying to have them appraised?

People usually use terms like miscut instead of off-centered, which the Library certainly is, but only slightly. Off-centered cards are usually described very accurately by telling which way it's off-centered, in your case top-bottom and by percentages of borders on both sides. Yours is about 40-60. These are very common and usually only lower the card value. Sometimes really off-center ones can make the card bit more expensive and if it shows the cutting guide-marks (white circles) it can be seen as a miscut... But only by some players.
The one below has been really hard to find a buyer who would value it even a bit over the general value, while it's a quite cool looking one. It's about 15-85 top-bottom miscut. Sligtly askew and shows one cutting dot and is a hot Modern playable to boot. I've been trying to sell this for over a year on MCM, with minimal interest.
When a card has been miscut, there's always the whole sheet that has been miscut. Some may have been destroyed by quality control, but in general if you have a miscut rare that is not really wonky (meaning that it's almost straight, no slant in the cut) there should be another copy of that rare as each rare sheet has two of each rare and one of each mythic. But finding one miscut card in the wild can be challenging.
For uncommons and commons it's much more complicated... But you can google some uncut sheet images to get a good idea how it goes.
SO I have a Korean Pack Rat that has one square corner. What would be the value of this card. Without the square corner I would think I could get $5 or so for the Korean Pack Rat on its own.

Is the story legit? When 4th edition came out, I distinctly remember getting many cards like this randomly in packs, there were a lot of printing errors back then, and these seemed common place, also they are comparing to a newer card, regular revised is much duller than the back of that card and the "grey" would look much closer to the black, I looked through by sellable cards and i have a few "grey" backed revised / 4th.
My impression is the buyer got swindled, what is everyone else thinking?

What kind of premium do Japanese and Russian Mox Opals (non-foil) have over the English Non-foil?
I've looked on ebay and I've found a 6$ difference, but everyone else keeps telling me I'm wrong.

Haven't been able to peg down a price on a moderately miscut basic like this, what would y'all say?
Umm, is the card actually upside-down relative to the back of the card, or is it just your picture?
So, can anyone help me out here with a solid figure?

$6 sounds about right. It's usually about a 10% increase over the English price for JPN/RUS non-foils.
Edit: Also, how about Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) editions of Jace's Archivist and Visions of Beyond?
