I don't run foils in my decks because they bend and more importantly they wear fast. I do however collect foils and I have around 450 foils mostly opened from packs. My most prized foils are my Cabal Coffers, a Korean 7th Mountain, Unhinged Island, Japanese Tooth and Nail and 2 Japanese Oblivion Stone. To me "pimp" is English black border (if available) I guess I just have simple taste when it comes to my decks.
I do love looking at fully foiled decks, I had the chance to look thru one that had all fetches Ravnica duals and unhinged basics, the only cards not foiled were not able to be foil like abur duals but those were beta. It was ridiculous the amount of money he had wrapped up in that deck. I think commander was Progenitus, maybe Cromat.
I have a little over 50 foiled in my kaalia deck, the only ones I can't (I don't think they make them foil) are my 12 unglued basics and my revised duals, WOOT
I had my Momir Vig at 40-50% foiled until I shelved it for my lands edh, which has like 5% foiled. Luckily, a good 30% of them are under $5 as foils. However, many of them are ridiculously expensive as foils.

62/100 can't foil certain cards dual lands imperial seal grim tutor etc I think 10 cards can't be foil I'm missing some 100$ promos fir like demonic intuition etc my fetches shocks and a few mana rocks are not in foil. Some cards I like better in brown like scroll rack and I like original forms if some cards like timewarp but in getting clOse ;).
No where near foiled any of my deck, heh. Honestly some of the cards in it are pricy as is, I hadn't considered foiling it. Would love to consider doing it at some point though, replacing them over time for foil copies...
As far as decks... Damia, Hazezon, and Sharuum are as foiled as can be; I should take the time to update the pictures in their threads. Zur has zero foils.

Do people actually own RL copies of Imperial Seal and such? Color me jelly :p.

Not really, most just pine and pretend, when it comes to Imperial Seal at least. I watch some of the SCG Legacy feeds and there are guys in their young 20's playing with Beta duals, foil fetchlands, and Guru basics. Yeah. Sometimes we all be jelly.

A lot of legacy players borrow cards. If you see them reping a card dealer t-shirt, that shop probably is a sort of sponsor lending cards. Or their parents are rich, or the make a butt ton of cash.

Just began the quest to foil out Azusa, right now I'm at 31/100 foiled. Azusa herself may not become foiled as I have a copy of the card signed and sketched on by Todd Lockwood himself.
Trying to find these basic forests foiled, need at least 15, right now I have 1.
I own and play a near mint Chinese imperial seal I bought for 440$ including shipping. I bought it when the banned Primetime becuase I was angry including foils if you bought my deck from like starcity games it would cost you over 3000$. Not sure in exact amount but I have plenty of money. I've been wanting to update my videos to show off my expensive deck but work and 2 kids have made it take forever. I'll be sure to link it here when I do. Originally I was waiting for an alter on my Damia from someone at my lgs but then u has the second kid and haven't been tI that store since she was born late October. The decks not like hermit Druid good for its cost I just love the deck and have shuts tons of money sitting around.
My Sister of Stone Death is currently 69/100 pimped. (Well, soon 70 after my friend finishes altering my Bayou.)
I usually like foils, but I also accept gratefully full-arts (player rewards), alters/extensions and foreign versions, if not avaible in foil in any language (especially foreign black borders).
Stuff you'll get only over my deadexiled body
I have cards in chinese, japanese, french (<3), italian, spanish, portuguase in EDH decks. (All of those besides italian are in this deck).
By the way, how do you opt the version of the card, if there are several avaible versions of the card, all in foil?
I usually use following criteria in the same order as listed:
1) Art
2) Wording (I just hate those over-complex wordings that no one understands)
3) Borders (Non-artifact: 8th/9th > Old > New)
(Artifact: Original Mirrodin/Kamigawa > 8th/9th > New >>>> Old)
Yeah, don't ask why, but foil artifacts in Kamigawa/Original Mirrodin just look ten times better than any others versions, at least in my opinion.

I usually go for the the original version and original foil of a card if it's available/exists in foil. Art and overall look are very important to me though, and some newer cards win on that note. Judge foil Sword of Fire and Ice is pretty sexy.
And I do agree that Mirrodin foils look pretty amazing, because they began to foil the art, but not entirely, so things like foil Arcbound Ravager and Skullclamp look fantastic. I tend to disagree on Kamigawa foils however. Lots of them seem a bit dark for some reason. Still pretty, but not my favorites.

In Finland, yes. (Though if I am not wrong, this apllies pretty much to whole europe...) I had easier time finding that Three Visits or my Chinese Beacon of Unrest. This pretty much applies to all Wal-Mart promos.
