Finally took some pictures of my Japanese UR Painter List, sadly cell phone pictures not too good. I will try to get some better ones.
I know the Flusterstorms aren't Japanese yet. I also am not sure if i like the zendi lands for the basics, I am still deciding. I was excited though at this point every card that can be Japanese is except for Flusterstorm and the chinese signed Tops which I really like signed.

One aspect of pimping no one mentioned is the where to acquire the cards from. Major websites like ABU or Star City Games usually have signed cards, though you may have to send them an email indicating your interest since they usually aren't listed. eBay is also a possible avenue; it offers a large variety and some of the lowest prices online. However, despite my frugal nature, I've found the overall quality and trustworthiness of eBay to be on the decline in recent years. That being said, there are some established and credible sellers on that site with great card selection.Originally Posted by Imperial
The best place to really hunt for deals and pimp cards is at major events. GP and PT usually have the best selection of dealers. The dealers at said events usually bring their "pimp" cards out which include signed cards. You'll also be able to haggle, trade (with dealers & other players/collectors), and find cards that would be very difficult to locate otherwise. Other events that are worth checking out are Eternal Weekend, GenCon, and SCG events - I don't think any of those are quite as good or as accessible as a GP or PT for one reason or another, but are worth checking out. I don't know of any larger regional events around my area (TX), but if you are close to regional events, then check those out as well. The best part about all of these events as it relates to your interest in signed cards is that artists are usually present at said events. All things being equal, I'd venture to say it's much cooler & rewarding to have a have a card signed in person than tracking one down through dealers or online.

Very nice. I raise you 4 Russian Jaces on an original source playmat PLUS five new Source playmats ;)I guess it's time to throw my hat into the ring.

Play fair, child ;) I'll see you and Koby next week.

What it takes to be a pimp:
1. Knowing the right people.
2. Have the money
Not one or the other, but both.
The fastest way to become a millionare is to start with a billion dollars, then start collecting magic cards, eh? - dry cereal

How safe is this to bid on?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321266553251...84.m1423.l2649
Being russian, the fact that there is no sending back items sent to adresses outside of US and all that. The seller did not answer to my message either. Would you bid?
I wouldn't bid on this, and I won't be. 0 Feedback means very likely it's a scam, and I'm just not interested in tying up my money for a few weeks with Paypal and crap on the off chance this person MAY be legit. If someone on here knew this person, that'd be different.
Oh look, the username isn't even a name, it's just a number. Cool story, bro.
-Matt
Lol that made me laugh.. exactly the first thing I saw. Its definately some bs.. its going to be one expensive fake card. (assuming one is even sent)
Seems fishy. No feedback in the last twelve months either.
Look at his other items - foil Korean Snapcaster, foil Korean THS Thoughtseize, german foil Goyf, foil russian Hierarch. These are not very common. Have there been any collections stolen with items like that?

Look at Eric Landon's reply:
this guy is cropping other peoples high end foil pictures and selling with a zero feedback account. I think it's a scam just putting it out there in case any of you are bidding on his stuff.
Like we discussed, there is no such thing as fair.
Matt, I see your bet, and raise you this: :P
Can I join in on this 1 uping? :P
Also, about the fake ebay stuff; was going to post about it, but figured not to as most of us either stay away from that stuff, or bid but don't expect anything and have a case opened up shortly after.

I actually top 4'ed and by some miracle won money with this deck going 3-1-1. It's fucking awesome. I ended up chucking the 3 Slaughter Pacts for 3 Iona's since there were multiple mouth breathers running Omnitell. I also ditched 2 Shield Spheres for the 4th Cradle and a second Beck // Call. The BTE really should just be Wild Cantor #2 given certain puzzles I found myself in I never needed BTE but often a second Cantor would have helped me chain further. It's also a fine play off Tropical if you sniff no wastelands.
Presenting Team Tusk Hydraball
Cutting Cradle down to 3 baffles me, what's the reason behind this choice? I can see your decision to decrease Beck/Call because 2 mana can be rough. Burning Tree Emissary has never been really useful as well, in fact, the red mana hinders you more often.
