Anyone an idea of what this is worth?

I watched this sell on ebay awhile back....

I got outbid at 100 and I think it ended right around 300

You've seen this card in person. I'll put up a better pic soon.

I agree.
This looks like a typical 'UV-albino' (keep a non-alt-4th Magic card exposed to UV-light for a prolonged period, and only the blacks & blues remain (red is the first color to go, green the last)).

Yes, unfortunately the fact the blueish shades are the only ones left lets me doubt on this one.

I have a Lightning Bolt which looks exactly like that but I don't show it off too much because I believe it's easy to remake.

I liked the REV Albinos on your other Post though. Those look definitely real Albinos and please PM me in case you might consider letting one or both go.

The coloring on the shaman is very similar to the coloring on this card as well. Although the shaman doesn't have gray borders.

Any thoughts on this one as well?

The Planeshift looks legit to me. I can say that because I own a few myself and also member nano has some posted on his beautiful website, and they're all from ENG Planeshift. In real life, they look almost "metallic" and quite brightly colored, whereas my bleached Lightning Bolt (and possibly the Gorilla Shaman) look a bit duller and opaque.

Personally, I think the Kavu is pretty rare and very very cool.

Regarding the Brainstorm, it also looks like a legit misprint to me, and pairs nicely with your Underground Sea.

I believe these cards might fetch pretty nice prices since they're so playable, though I still believe outright Albinos are worth more.

I recall the Shaman going for $220-250 on ebay, but I'm pretty sure it's fake, so I didn't touch it. The Brainstorm is real, and the Planeshift card is real as well; I've seen a few of those out of that same precon.

I'm not to happy about the shaman but oh well live and learn. I'll know for next time at least.

Hi.
I really don't think the Shaman is fake, as a bunch of those Italian Alliances cards exist, I do own one myself.

I'll have to get a better scan and look at the card a little harder.

I have a question about albino cards
Is the back the same color is a normal magic back? or is it also discolored?

Hi.
Normal Magic Back.

Yes, but then there are also many cards discolored or Albino on the back only, with normal fronts !
I have never seen Albinos both front AND back though.
