Magic the gathering question.?

Question

I have a wrath of god (white) card from 1997. I know of that website that you have to do is type the name of the card in and everything will pop up about it. however, all the wrath of god cards do not have the same picture as mine. How much would an 1997 wrath of god sell for. i seen some for 150.00 and others for like 10.00. so, what would mine fall under.

Answer 1

Yours will be less.  That sounds like 5th Edition.  I checked on Ebay and only four had sold in the past month.  The highest sold for $8.15 and the lowest sold for $4.  The high dollar ones that you are seeing would be from Alpha or Beta.  Those are the original sets and there were not many cards printed.  They are more rare and worth more.  You might be able to get $10 for yours from a buddy or even on Ebay.  A dealer will probably only give you $5 or so for it.  The dealer will want to make a profit later on when he sells it.

Answer 2

1997 would be a Fifth Edition Wrath of God.  Your card would be one of the $10 ones.  The main reason is because your card is white bordered.  The ones going for $150 are older ones with black borders (Alpha and Beta versions) or the hard to find Portal versions (have bold letters in text, and limited print).

Answer 3

Well, it also depends on the condition of the card. Assuming that it has a mint condition, you can probably sell it to a store for 4 to 6 dollars. Stores will usually sell that card for about 9-12 dollars. Being from 1997, it is a reprint with a white border.

Cards with black borders, foils or alternate art versions are much more expensive and harder to find, that's why they have such a high price tag.

Answer 4

Yours is from fifth edition. It would not be worth as much. Probably around 15 dollars. You could try to sell it on ebay for about $20. Here's a link to the wrath of god that you have.
