How much would Lightning Bolt be worth if it had only ever been printed in Future Sight? $10? $20? $50?
It wasn't printed in Future Sight. I'm not really sure what you're asking? If you're asking about the value if it had only been printed once, I guess you can look at the value of the textless promo. Its right around $35.

It usually goes for $1.50-4.50 for its M10 and M11 printings, around $10-11 for foils of those. Older printings are usually somewhat more.

Well, beta bolts are right around $50.... that's probably a decent indicator considering it was a very limited print run and they are the most desired bolts.

According to TCG Player, the highest value common that was only printed in future sight is Augur of Skulls at $0.25. Assuming Lightning Bolt was printed at common is this hypothetical reality, it would likely be a lot more than this ($5? Even $10?) if this was the only printing.
If it were printed at uncommon, it could be even more that $15 since it sees a lot more play than Aven Mindcensor, currently at $10.48, which is in a similar situation.
Was that what you were hoping for?

if it was only in future sight it would prolly be a rare considering its one of the most powerful 1 mana spells every printed and most widly used, and then youd prolly see it at near goyf levels since every deck that splashes red plays bolt (sometimes only for bolt) while not all green decks play pod, burn, stoneblade, delver, rdw, boros, zoo, other stoneblade variants, control, midrange, uwr giest, its been printed a dozen times and is still a $4 common

Yeah thanks guys. I just think it would be interesting to see what had happened if it had only been printed once in a modern legal block.

I don't believe Bolt was printed in future sight
