I was looking at the Birds/Island and just noticed how bizarre they are. Judgment symbol on the Birds? Parallax Tide art on the Island?
Alright here comes my Pimp FS:
Pimped Stuff
Stuff being Pimped (these are all foil, it's not really obvious)
Pimped SB:
The dirt you can see comes from the perfect sized sleeves, every card there is in fact Mint. The islands are signed by Kenji Tsumura, and the catbus token is drawn by Daren Bader on an Artist Proof Cultural exchange. I use it to separate MD/SB in my deckbox :D

Too bad that fench and japanese suck.
Faerie Stompy, French and Japanese rule. Don't miss-understand things guys :D
I traded my French drakes to the Japanese ones, so they costed as much as a regular playset
I think I'm most excited to find the french translation of Mulldrifter - "Vagabond of thoughts."
I was in our local store today and asked about foreign cards. the owner keeps a box of them stashed away since he doesn't care for them and doesn't know how to tell the pictures or how to price something like that. Occasionally I find something good. He only takes them in if it's on a trade deal for a collection so you never know what's in the box. Well, today I hit some simple gems.
Now if you tell me he sold them to you for a quarter each, i'm going to come stab you. My store sells foreign as if they are Mint Beta Foil's. Saw a Italian Mana Vault going for $75 in the case one day...
Always good to hear, my friend. The libraries people are excellent and great traders to boot, plus some of the most knowledgeable on various misprints. The juggernauts were from there, as well as quite a few other test prints/misprints.
They're test prints, created by Wizards to test various card details, as I have mentioned before. The bop is a Judgment test (another exists with an opposite frame) while the island is a 8e print. I have no idea why they used parallax tide's picture, though, but it looks pretty good that way. Test prints are from various sets, of differing rarity and price. For example, only 1-2 copies exist of certain 5th dawn prints, hence the price is much higher. There are only 2 of each 8e print as well -- the other island print was sold on eBay for 1k, while I got mine for slightly less. Exodus foil test prints are worth a bit less than equivalent prints from other sets due to availability -- a foil silver bordered city of traitors would be worth about a third of a 8e painland, for instance. There's a lot else to say, so if anyone is interested, just ask or we can talk on PM.
Well, some foreign stores that I have been to sell foreign stuff at normal prices, but an Italian Mana Vault for $75, even for a local store selling foreign stuff, is quite high.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Hate to tell you then, he practically gave them to me. I paid $20 for a stack about 2 inches high. I probably have about 25c apiece into it. the owner and I are long time friends though. That does help. He knows what the Exploration was worth alone. Those were just the more interesting of the bunch. The rest are all playables also. Russian Makeshift Mannekins are hilarious.
Good block, a lot of cards played.
- exploration (korean) <-- hard to find

Just a couple to keep the thread moving.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.
