I acquired all of them from various sources. I picked up the one on the right recently, and decided to start the global set, as the textless one is likely the hardest to find and I already have it.Originally Posted by beastman
The all-black foil is a filler -- a placeholder to fill up empty spaces on a sheet. In this case, the filler was used as the eleventh card on the sheet which led to the printing of the foil textless saga cards. It is part of both a filler collection and a textless collection.
Heh. I have quite a few contacts who deal with Japanese cards (even though I personally don't). If you're looking to upgrade and have a price in mind, you can let me know.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
@Occam: Do you post on the rarities site? You have way too much rare stuff.
I would love to see your Foil BB one(s).

Is that PSA 10? I still see a small nip a bit above the lower left corner.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.

Can anyone explain that PSA thing, please?
Team Legal Actions.
It's an institute (Professional Sports Authenticator) that rates condition of cards on a scale from 1-10.
Clicky.

It may just look like a knick, but may just be the casing smudge/mark. I see some other marks on the casing as well.

Something that is PSA 10 is basically pack pulled in front of a PSA person?

Not necessarily. Even pack fresh can be off center or have a print defect. Being minty fresh is only one aspect of the grading criteria.

This.
Also the reason why graded Power is incredibly hard to find- ABU cards didn't come off the sheets usually any better than an 8 or 9. The early print runs were kinda meh.

... and nowadays there is no possibilities to complete a PSA10 Alpha set!
Some examples:
a PSA10 badlands is about a 800 usd card
Beta and AN are VHTF and very expensive set but it's not impossible if u decided to save your money in cards even if there are 2 or 3 PSA10 that are unique pieces so you have just to wait actual owners
all coreset or expansions after AN are easy to complete
Yeah, but under a different name. Some of the collections there are intimidating, to say the least.
No problem, it'll come soon in a scan of 9. I prefer scanning big stuff together at a go.
Are you collecting any graded sets besides AN? The graded beta sets I've seen pictures of are very very nice, to say the least. I would prefer using BGS, though.... and nowadays there is no possibilities to complete a PSA10 Alpha set!

Oh, you mind if I look for you if I have any grading-related questions? I have some people that I consult but having more opinions never hurts.

I'm collecting just AN also 'cuz I'm Italian and here there is no culture about save your money in graded cards or slapped coins, here magic is just for players so you cand find a lot of PIMP rarities but rarely collectors decide to graded cards.
BGS is more correct than PSA but it's too difficult for me find, due to custom problems I can't send card to grade ( I would pay tazes for the value of the cards and not for the grading service) so PSA that is a little bit quite famous is easier to find for me.
P.s.: sorry for my english...
Which websites are you guys referring to? Just out of curiosity.
Hey Occam,
Do you ever post on the PSA nonsports boards? There are several nice people over there who'd be more than happy to help you out with a question if needed. I am also curious why you'd prefer BGS? I have nothing against them and think they do a good job, but I prefer PSA - as such it's always interesting to hear from someone with a different view

Always good to see someone from the libraries around. I mainly prefer BGS because I feel that their grading is stricter and more consistent (the half grades are useful too), and I prefer their slabs too. :) I guess that from the point of view of someone who collects graded sets (iirc you fall within this group, whereas I don't), PSA is easily preferable as their documentation and support of their graded stuff is a lot better than BGS. There are some people who believe that PSA is tougher than BGS, and I don't know where you fall on that, but my opinion differs on that topic. PSA also has more overall grading experience for MTG than BGS, so I guess some people may take that into account too.
PSA is a lot better with authentication work, though. If you'd elaborate on your preference for PSA, I reckon that would be very helpful.

one of my graded collection ^^
Boo! That's not Legacy. Heck, it's even white boardered, that can't be pimp

Seriously, I can read it AND it's whiteboarded. Japanese BB or GTFO.Boo! That's not Legacy. Heck, it's even white boardered, that can't be pimp
Also, PSA Force? Who gives a fuck, it's alliances, it's not like it's Beta where everything was off center.
