Topic: H: Artist Proofs W: wishlist

I have several artist proof cards, also known as white back cards. I am looking to trade these to help build a new deck.
I as well have several cards signed by the artist.

I have artist proofs of
zo-zu the punisher
squelch
skirk volcanist

and several other cards signed by artists

What is the Zo-Zu proof valued at?

Re: H: Artist Proofs W: wishlist

I had zo-zu the punisher appraised in 2007 for about $250. just start a trade with me and il be sure to look at what you have

Re: H: Artist Proofs W: wishlist

Oh god I'll have to pass. I knew little to absolute nothing about Artist Proofs. I'm in way over my head. XD Sorry!

Re: H: Artist Proofs W: wishlist

None of the cards on your trade list show that they are signed, do you happen to have a list of the signed cards? 

Also most artist proofs are not worth that much.  I'm not an expert on them or anything, I just happen to own a couple and unless they are alpha/beta they tend to not be worth much more than the original card, they do have a floor of $5 (as in even commons are worth at least $5).  Keep in mind that they are not playable in any sanctioned format, they are merely a collectible.  You can search e-bay to get a good idea of what your proofs are worth.

Re: H: Artist Proofs W: wishlist

i understand that many proofs tend not be that much, but I have as  said had them appraised for 150-250$ (depending on which one. the dealer that I had appraise them said that many of matt covata's artists proofs are hard to get in the condition I have them in (that being pure white back with only a signature on the front) because he uses many of his artist proofs as business cards (or at least used to). I wouldn't claim that they are worth this much if I hadn't had them appraised in the past as I have. im surprised to hear that some can go for that cheap. for a card that I 1/50 in the world I feel that's a steal.

as for a list
I have he following artist proofs (for trade)
zo-zu the punisher
squelch
akki lava runner
skirk the volcanist
mise


as well as the following signed normal cards
brawn
skyhunter patrol
roar of kha

Re: H: Artist Proofs W: wishlist

Yeah, I agree that a lot of them should be more than they actually are.  I think if more people collect them for cubes or casual play you will see an increase in price.  My friend and I play some double sleeved in our EDH decks, but we have kind of an agreement about it.  They are definitely cool things to own.  I only have two, Chain Lighting and Gate to Phyrexia, both signed with plain white backs.  However I've started scouring e-bay looking for more...  Prices vary a lot, but most of them are cheaper than I expected them to be.  I have quite a few on my e-bay watch list.  big_smile
