[DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks

[comeback]

More upgrades from Worlds 2009 in Rome!

Vintage vs Foil Japanese!

Nightmare, shouldn't all spanish Mana Crypts be white-bordered?

Yes, they are. That one is Portuguese.

I have an identical underground sea with half no pigment. By identical, I mean it. The area that is without pigment follows the exact same path along the middle of the card. I was so surprised to see it that I went to my collection to validate that it was not stolen.

And here is something I just can't resist posting. Not legacy playable, but far more awesome than most legacy cards anyway I would be impressed by a playset of foil russian goyfs though. Anyway here is something that took a while to get ahold of...

[yawg07]

Damn, Korean Necropotence are so pricey :/

@andrew77

That miscut sea is one of the coolest cards I've seen. How much did that set you back, just out of curiousity?

I found this on an Italian site. Don't know to whom they belong, but I think they should have costed some money.

It makes a lot of sense that they are identical. Intuitively speaking, it should raise a red flag that our cards look very similar, or even identical. However, let me theorise why they are so similar. The reason for that is that Underground sea was a R1 in revised and occupies the same position on sheets every time. A printing press that has essentially run out of ink on certain portions is going to have gone through several sheets before being discovered, which means that every Sea on those sheets looks like that. It could also result in either 1) the other cards below the sea and other cards on its line to be completely albino or 2) create albino blocks on the sheet.

I'm honestly not surprised that they look the same -- I'm more surprised that another one made it out to see the light of day. Thanks for sharing it, and it is a very nice misprint. One of my favourite colour-related misprints.

That said, I am worried that your first response was that I may have misappropriated the card. :P

[andrew77]

Awesome. I have been trying to get russian foil goyfs for some time, but am finding it impossible to track them down.

@Occam. Just out of curiosity did you get the sea from an american collector who used to have quite a nice collection of summer cards as well as other misprints/rarities?

[Occam]

As far as I know he hasn't liquidated his summer collection yet. I placed a bid of about 7+k on his efreet, but he wants to sell as a set. In any case, if we are talking about the same person, he's a great person (we've had quite lengthy PM chats about summer magic and other stuff), and was also the person who sold that parallax tide island on ebay. I remember a real frenzy when people first saw that card, as to why it looked like that, whether it was fake, whether it was a 6th ed print or 8th ed print, how many there were around etc.

To add, I rarely showcase cards that aren't summer, test prints or which have special meaning to me, but that card was one of his favourite pieces, and is a very nice piece that people would probably enjoy. I'll leave the posting of other nice cards (miscuts, foreign cards, power etc) to people like you.

[andrew77]

Yep, It is the person I had in mind. I got one of my mistamped islands from him actually.

[Occam]

If I had known that, I would never have assumed that they were the ones without stamp. He abhors those. Alright, let's let the thread move on without clogging it up with all the talk. :)

[dahcmai]

My wife and I both speak some Russian and have family over there. I'll see if any of them want to go hit some card stores hunting for some. Shouldn't be too horridly hard to get.

I was a bit lazy to do so before, but I recently took a high res scan of the Island for a friend, so I can post it here without the other cards if you would like to keep a scan of it. Just to be clear, the one that was sold on eBay is in Belgium now. Mine was from another source.

To those interested, I made a stupidly long post on MTGS about albinos and some general knowledge about them, as some people were doubting the authenticity of the sea I posted. If the mods don't mind, I can paste the post here as an archive of information which should help the community in general. Otherwise, those interested can look for it there.

[yawg07]

I'm starting to take pics of Sharuum, even if it isn't done.
Here are the critters I run! :D All 17 are foil, only 10 are Japanese so far ...









If anyone has a Japanese Foil upgrade for any of these bad boys for me, hit me up and we'll deal! 8)
