Alright so in my Duals collection I have a few foreign cards, namely a German Badlands, and an Italian Bayou, Savanna, Scrubland, and Tropical Island. These are all white bordered for some reason and I looked around on ebay and I could only find black bordered versions of these cards. So what are my lands? misprints? Did I get ripped off(I bought them at the local card shop)? I can provide pictures if needed.
I also wasn't sure where to put this, so move it if its in the wrong spot.
Dual lands were available in German, French and Italian. People who like to fill their decks with foreign cards gravitate towards German and French, but the Italian ones, even though the printings were the same size, are less beloved.
Your cards are indeed real, though white borders are inevitably less "pimp", than black. They're still duals, which is nothing to sneeze at.
As stated above, they exist. Values are roughly equivalent to English Revised (I just sold 7 or 8 of these). Black bordered foreigns are roughly Unlimited plus $100. Sometimes you'll find someone filling foreign sets who'll pay a premium if you have the exact land they need.

I own a couple of these myself, a tropeninsel and isola tropicale. Tropical island in italian and german. These are a little bit harder to find than normal revised printings, I'm not completely sure in relation to FBB and unlimited though.

OK thanks guys. My local stores don't have any black border. If they did I probably would have bought them. I am kinda afraid to buy them online as I can't inspect the card for myself and I don't want to get the card then have to ask for a refund because of some wear and tear I didn't see.
I'm also rocking foreign white border Savannah's in legacy, and had a similar question. I noticed the the foreign white border revised dual lands don't even show up on tcgplayer?
I also wasn't sure where to put this, so move it if its in the wrong spot.
They aren't all that desirable unlike FBB duals (not any more than english WB), so they dont pop up all that much on eBay.
