Hi guyz,
This is not a new error afaik but those are pretty rare, especially playable ones, I'd like to know what this is worth cuz I got the possibility to get one and I am not sure wether I shall take it or not... :-(

Gratz,

It's a unique rarity, so there is no set price for it. Rather, it is only worth what someone will pay. I can offer $75, but I'm sure there are people who will pay more.

Hi.
Can someone explain why a Foil Misprint like that will cost that much?
Why it's a Unique Misprint,any chance that others exist?
Is it because it's Misdirection,because the Upside Down back(Fairly Common as a Misprint)?
Thanks.

It's because it's a Misdirection, which is one of the best cards in the set. The only others that would go for that price range are Squee, Brainstorm, and Dark Ritual.

The Misdirection isn't exactly "unique," but it's extremely rare, and upside-down-backed Masques foils are probably much rarer than Summer cards.

What's harder to find, upside down foils or non foils? I'm sure people pay more for foils... but what's harder to find do you think?

It's kind of funny how things are priced when it comes to colecters cards... it's not really by rarity, more by asthetic value and aural value. Saying I've got a Blue Hurricane says alot to most people, saying I've got an upside down Misdirection foil, really just says a mouthful to alot of people. Also, it doesn't look as nice on your "I'm better then you." page.

A Foil upside down rishadan port sold for 80$ on ebay.com last year. 100$ for the midirection seems a fair price to me.
