I'm thinking of probably getting a copy of each shockland from RTR in foil. Was wondering what price I should be gunning for.
What's the long-term projection of these shocklands, perhaps post-rotation? I was gonna get 1 of each in foil, because I'm collecting lands. Was wondering if it'd be better to try and get a playset of each.
Have a friend who's trying to sell me his foil Temple Garden for $20. $20 seems to be what they're going for now, but I'm curious of which way they're gonna lean towards down the road.
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
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.
As to the foil shocklands from RTR I got 35$ each in trade with a vendor for my Hallowed fountain, and Steam Vents. so if you can pick up a foil Temple garden for 20$ I would snap that up while your friend is still oblivious.
Your steam vents trade was a good one...
if you are getting from vendors, expect to pay 40ish for the blue ones and around 30 for the others.

Foil shocks are going to be extremely hard to find 3-5 years from now from RTR no matter how much of the set gets busted. They go into the hands of collectors and people that love to foil out their decks asap then those are very unlikely to trade them or sell them in the distant future.
I think barring a few of the mythics they will easily be the most expensive foils from RTR in a few years. Even with a reprint foil Overgrown Tombs and Hallowed Fountains from the original Ravnica block are still worth quite a bit over the normal versions.
The only way I can see it being a bad deal is if they start to reprint shocks more often than they are now.
I agree with everyone here. Id like to add though, that short term (the next 2-4 months essentially) they may trend down further as demand for RTR hits its lowest point. Foil shocks have been gradually dropping a dollar here and there on ebay. So anywhere between now and after Gatecrash will be the ideal time to pick them up.
Long term, they will only go up. Im trying to foil playset all of them myself.

Ah...I see. Knowing the Steam Vents trade was good kinda just made my day. I thought I overtraded only because when I went to check on ebay, I didn't see many sold for over $20, or sold at all.

Thanks everyone. I think I will go ahead and snap up the copies my friend has. And will probably be vigilant about finding more foil shocklands.

Yeah bro you should totally rip off your friend before he realizes you value $10 over your friendship
I'm not saying that you should value 10$ over a friendship (and if this breaks up the friendship it wasn't going to last long anyway). Just that if one of my buddies that I play MtG with said hey I'll trade you this foil steam vents for your regular angel of serenity, I wouldn't think twice about taking him up on it. Then again I'm of the mindset that if you don't know what your cards are worth then it is your loss...

See, that's the thing though. I'm already only seeing Temple Gardens go for $20 on ebay. And that's where both me and my friends looked before we more or less agreed on the price.
I mean, if evidence suggests that it could be more (which I don't doubt), then yay for me; however, right now, I really don't see it as ripping off my friend. Especially when they're trying to sell me all of this stuff just so they can pay off their box. No trading allowed.

When selling cards to pay off a box, you take cheaper amounts anyway. I wanted my money returned on my box so I offered a buddy 128 in 7 cards for 100.
$20 for foil temple garden is pretty much spot on. If Ebay isn't a gauge of actual market value, then what is? The 5 RtR shockland foils are all between $19 and $25 on ebay, barring outliers. You can buy a foil steam vents for $21 with free shipping, so trading $35 in value for one is pretty bad I'd say, depending on where that $35 value is from.
I suspect the prices will keep decreasing as more RtR is opened, and it will keep being opened a lot until Gatecrash. If I wanted to get them relatively soon, I'd wait until after the Holidays, which I guess booster packs will be a popular gift. So between december 31 and january 31 is probably the best time. They'll go up eventually, although I'm not sure how much an effect that standard rotation will have on foils.

What's the long-term projection of these shocklands, perhaps post-rotation? I was gonna get 1 of each in foil, because I'm collecting lands. Was wondering if it'd be better to try and get a playset of each.

On a sidenote:
I already traded for a Steam Vents for about $35 worth of cards...kinda baddish in retrospect. Then again, I traded a batch of cards that weren't standard, and most were only really good for edh/$1-2 rares. Only things I recalled with a lot of value were:
Restoration Angel
Runechanter's Pike (foil)
Drowned Catacomb
Dungeon Geist x3
Rootbound Crag
Chromatic Lantern
Mishra's Factory
What's the projection on foil shocklands? Should I get rid of them? Will they go up/down? Hoard them?
Your steam vents trade was a good one...
