What does "foil" mean with respect to Magic the Gathering cards?

I saw foil cards for sale on eBay but I don't know what the difference between a foil card and a non-foil card is.

    Simply put, foils are the shiny, holographic versions of a certain card. Cards that are considered foil (before Mirrodin/8th Edition and some Timespiral Timeshifted cards) will have a "shooting star" on the bottom of the card. This notates foil. Post Mirrodin/8th Edition cards have a holographic background in the picture. They are rarer than it's nonfoil version. They may or may not make the card worth more. Every card since Urza's Legacy has a foil version.

    "foil" cards represent shiny cards...this shiny is also called holographic with respect to the colors. If you have a card that is all shiny looking then you have a "foil" card.
