Uncut Sheet of Magic cards

[4eak]

I've never seen one before (although, perhaps many of you see them all the time, I don't know). I know almost nothing about things like this. Is this worth anything? I realize it is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I was hoping for dollar value guesses.

If it isn't worth anything, I'm going to just hang it up in our game/library room.

That is freaking awesome.

How'd you come across that?

[4eak]

Won a tournament, got a mountain of foil stuff. This was included.

By the picture, it looks like a foil uncut sheet, which means it's worth some. Can't guess a number, though.

The only people it might interest is collectors and store owners, so maybe you could ask your local store if they're willing to pay for that.

[ChiiMagic]

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head when you said it's worth what some one's willing to pay for it. Those really aren't worth as much as their cool factor would suggest. I won an uncut sheet of Antiquites before and it was even the rare sheet with Workshop, Candelabra and all that jazz and I was only able to move it for 350 at GenCon.

[Amon Amarth]

Man, that's really cool but I think you'd be better off keeping it. I can't imagine it going for much

[Malchar]

Is it tournament legal?

[kiblast]

Is it tournament legal?

Lol

By the way, it's worth something between 300-350$. In my opinion it is just better to keep it and hang it framed, it's cool.

[rufus]

Technically, it should be possible to cut it up into individual cards.

[dahcmai]

It's worth more uncut. The prices on those are typically hard to guess since it's only valuable to a collector of course. I've seen biding wars go way out of hand for things like that. I'd say it's fairly safe to be thinking you could get $400-600 fairly easily and probably more. I'd give $500 and not think too much about it. Depending on the set they can get really ridiculous quickly in price, but like I said, you have to catch the collectors.

If I were to sell something like this, I would only do it in a storefront on Ebay. Put some stupid price you'd be ecstatic to get and see if people start watching it a lot. The number of people who watch items is a good indicator if you're out of range or people are really thinking hard on it.

If it was me, I would keep it framed in a very good sealed frame. I'd spend the $100 or so to get the good stuff. It's only going to be worth more later. Don't know if you've ever seen the beta sheets, but they are insane how much they are.

I'm hoping this was at least 10 years ago or I'm going to have to point out you could have had the sheet cut up and the rares would be worth more than 350. For that reason in addition to the fact they are fairly rare (for Antiquities make that EXTREMELY RARE) they usually go for more then all the cards on them would be worth individually. I saw one the other day on Ebay with Arena lands http://cgi.ebay.com/MtG-Magic-Gathering-UNCUT-SHEET-RARE-PROMOS-/390282321553?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5adea39e91#ht_549wt_1139.

For OP:
I'd guess you could get around $300 for that foil sheet if you found the right person maybe up to 450-500 but I don't know how rare foil sheets are.

[The Wolf]

I have a foil uncut sheet of worldwake with jace sitting right in the middle. I got it framed and it's sitting on my wall. The frame job for a piece this size is prob going to run you more then its actually worth cause its such an odd size.

[oRen]

i would say the sheet is worth $150 at maximum. let it hit ebay and see what happens as getting it framed nicely is (as said before) incredibly expansive. a german fellow is trying to move his russian foil uncommon magic2010 sheet (which i consider much more vulnerable) for some time for about 100€ and did not find a buyer until now.

[Anusien]

You can't actually cut the sheet and get usable cards: the corners won't be round.

many people do round up corners on ie/ce cards so i do not see any problem here.
anyway it stays roe common and would be a total waste.

[Picc]

You can't actually cut the sheet and get usable cards: the corners won't be round.

You can if you have a standard paper cutter and one of these (http://www.ctlaminating.com/Pages/ID/CornerRounders.html) with a 3/8th round blade (I have a friend who works at a classic print shop and has access to a lot of cool toys)

Except that if the sheet was actually worth cutting you take it to a professional. Not like your going to be in your room cutting it up with safety scissors.

[kiblast]

I don't think so. I had an original Akira Kurosawa's Dreams film poster framed by a professional framer and I paid something like 30 euros, wich is not that much.


(which i consider much more vulnerable)

Valuable?

You mean it was the Uncommon Sheet.

Antiquities only had Commons and Uncommons. It was printed on two sheets only as was Arabian Nights, The Dark, Fallen Empires, and Homelands - while modern sets are printed on three (Rares, Uncommons, and Commons).

Wizards retconned rarities of the old sets right around Odyssey when they decided to make it so only rares were on the Reserved List. So most of the U1s (uncommons printed once per Uncommon Sheet) from Arabian Nights, Antiquities, The Dark, Fallen Empires, and Homelands because rares years after their print runs ended just so they couldn't be reprinted later.

would yall agree that to a miscut cards are more valuable? if that is the case would it not be better to instead of keeping the sheet whole, you intentionally miscut the sheet?

Yes, you're correct--but my understanding is that serious miscut enthusiasts tend to be familiar with "known" miscuts and are suspicious of previously unseen miscuts. There have already been people who've sold fake miscuts from uncut sheets.

Someone who sold fake miscuts would quickly establish a reputation and probably could only make money of collectors new to miscuts.

Wasn't there speculation a while back that someone had bought an uncut sheet of Revised, had it purposefully miscut, and made a good chunk of cash? I remember something like a Volcanic going for over 1k.

If you cut the sheet in the same way that existing miscuts were cut, it would be pretty hard to tell the difference.

Yeah, you'd think so, but it's really not.

Do you still have it? and if you do, could you send me a picture and how much you are wanting for it?

[4eak]

Sorry, I've decided to keep it. I have it mounted on my wall. =)

If you happen to get one, and if you are interested, I can make a suggestion on a frame kit. It took me a couple tries to find something that worked nicely for it.
