Hi,
here is my Ichorid deck, which isn't finished at all. About 20 cards left, but I think its okay for now ;) (the LEDs are Italian and French)[just got a handycamera, but I think this pictures are quite good :)]:
Damn, that looks nice, what are you going to do about Ichorids?
This is my Signature
I want to get the whole deck in foil (expect the LED, they should be in a other language other than german or englisch; if Wizards prints it as a judge reward, I'll get a playset ;) ), but Ichorids are really hard to get. If you are lucky onlineshops or ebay just got one...
Ichorid is insanely hard to find. I dont get it.
Those LED's are hot hot hot. I just picked up two Arabian Italian Cities for my build.
Now playing real formats.
Italian Renaissance, FWIW.
Foil Ichorids are indeed a bitch, and it's for 2 reasons:
1. It's been "hot" for almost 2 years, so a lot of players have picked up those available on the market.
2. It's from a pretty bland middle set that wasn't purchased in large amounts, so the demand is higher than the supply.
I disagree. I was running a store when Odyssey block hit, and Torment WAS the selling point of the block. Judgment only barely pushed by on better sales from the Wishes, and Odyssey itself sold very well only in singles, the set was filled with so many mediocre rares and uncommons that it wasn't really worth buying packs after the first few weeks. The reason the supply is short is because Odyssey block was the start of the "limited" print runs, meaning that Wizards would print just enough to keep around for the 3 months the set was released, then completely stop printing once the new set came out. They unfortunately made this mistake with Judgment and Torment especially, cutting it far shorter than demand over time.
The real problem is the foil distribution wasn't really all that great for the sets in this timeframe. Torment itself was absolute terrible distribution for foils, with the imbalance of the colors in Torment and Judgment. But the card being hot (even if it's only for casual players), made it for one of the few cards in the set to actually find, and foils were just hitting the rage in Odyssey block especially. I remember selling my two foil Ichorids off for $30 each, at least a year after the set's release.

Always looking for sealed product!
I have some decent stuff, but i don't know how to post the pircures.
Take pictures and load them into your computer. If you have Photoshop, open them and go to "File > Save for Web and Devices" to reduce them to a more efficient file size. Go to Photobucket and make an account if you don't have one. Go to "Upload" and find your picture. When it's done, click the url under the picture involving "[img]" tags, and paste that into your post.
I got two foil Portuguese Yawgmoth's Bargain (part of my collection of 40smthng Bargains), how much are they going for?
If anyone got one, I'm interested!
And BTW, Russian is tha shit! Asian is so common, don't even see it as pimp anymore.

Well, all I can say is that Torment sold terribly locally, as the 3 "local" stores at that time didn't sell very much at all; at one of the stores, the owner told me that it was the worst selling set pack-wise since Homelands for him, so... *shrug*
Yes, distribution was a huge problem in that era as well, but that was for pretty much every set until Mirrodin/Kamigawa era stuff. I still have nightmares of people trying to collect foil sets of Masques block; that was one of the most fucked up blocks ever as far as distribution goes. Gah.
Oh, and @dlevsApiJ, BB REBs are only pimp if they actually say Instant for the card type. Just saying.
In all honestly I have been picking up beta duals and power recently and nothing compares. Most things that are cool don't even appeal to me if they aren't expensive because I know I could easily get them. I don't have a scanner atm since i'm at college, but I'l get some picks up whem im back for thanksgiving.
BTW misstamped guru lands are insanely pimp.
I love those WB Japanese Pyroblasts!
Give it :>
I'll post my manabase, when my last Japanese Fetchies are receiving here :>
20 Japo Fetchies
16 German.Limited U-Duals
Be prepared ;)

Selling my Japanese Legacy Collection. PM me what you need ;)
My mcm-account. Selling overseas
Yeah, its good they are WB, when i will board them out for Spree's, they are very easy to find ;). Also my Land (dont want them FBB) cause i can search them fast with Land Grant, cause they are WB (Unlimited).
Mvg
ps. Why are REB's from Beta not pimp? why only from alpha?
*Team Haste!*
Hey guys, I just picked up a couple more Foil Chinese Tarmogoyf's. That mean's my 4x S-Chinese Tarmogoyfs are going to be up for sale. I'm also considering letting go of the English playset too, but I dunno yet.
I'd like to get $35 a piece for the S-Chinese, which is $140 for the playset. I'll cover shipping and insurance...within the U.S. and Canada.
When other people do not assert themselves, they may still have something to be proud of, something that they believe is unrivalled, but it is just that they have not got the same vulgarity of throwing their weight about and imposing themselves and their beliefs on other people. - Dunduzu Kalui Chisiza

I am probably the only person who values Beta above Alpha, in fact I would trade any Alpha Card I own for a Beta Equivalent... if you're Lego. Also, those three free Goyfs I promised Lego? I'll get them to you soon.
Edit:
A moral quandary:
I have enough cash to buy a box or Lorwyn and some singles or a bunch of Lorwyn singles and an Signed Italian Moat.
Given that I may be enlisting in the Navy soon... which should I do?
That Moat is both pimp and will be useful for a long time...
But I LOVE opening booster boxes... a lot and I will miss it.
