I mean it's modern, anything can work and anything can tank. It destroys any one land. It is what it is in modern. Win roll, mana dork, go, untap, Molten Rain your tapped shock is pretty miserable. Lose the roll, junk guy thoughtseizes your only removal, land, he plays Bob, you go ... something. He goes Lil you lose. I can say Loam / Assault is fucking nuts and is as close to broken as I've found in Modern.

I picked up this Chris Rush altered Brainstorm a few months ago; between this, Russian Thoughtseize, and Korean Tempest Dark Rituals, my Tin Fins list is on it's way to Pimphood.

Sorry for the poor image quality, it was taken with my phone.

Where is Christopher Rush signature on this card?
Seems like he's not the one who did the alter.

So, it's not Legacy (I don't pimp that), but here's my Child of Alara EDH build. I need to upgrade 3 cards to pimp versions, but they're kind of random and have proven difficult to track down regionally and via various stores/Ebay. Regardless, I enjoy it.

So the seller offered to close the auction through private mail? Now you have a good point vs him, just report to ebay the fact that he was using ebay private messages system to close a private deal off ebay and his account will be put on hold or closed or something like that.

paypal offers a differnt version of buyer protection. look into it. I've used it before.

BTW Paypal and ebay share the same parent company.


#13 at the link below. Start reading for eligibility. If your invoice was marked as a service, you are FU*KED. I'd still call paypal to see what they can do.

I don't want to hijack a tread about pimp cards, so I will only post once more after this to inform about any kind of resolution.

It was an auction for a playset foil Wasteland. I paid $425. Paypal does offer buyer protection, but it seems the scammer has marked the invoice as "service" which i can read in Paypals user agreement is not eligible under their buyer protection. This buyer protection can only be activated once you have received the item and filed a complaint, but I am contacting Paypal Monday morning to try and explain the situation and ask for a cancellation of the payment. Also phoned my bank, but. they cannot help.

How very odd. I filed a dispute with Paypal and wrote him a message saying that the pictures on Ebay of "his cards" were straight from Google and that I believed he did not have the cards, had no intention of sending them, and that I wanted my money back. I ended by saying that if he gave me the money back I would not take the matter further with legal action.

He gives me a refund and sends the following message:

"They have already been sent - you could be a man and actually email me to ask. Try handling things in an adult manner rather than being a little bitch. Cheers."

"Buyer is a child and a flake"

I have also contacted Ebay to make them aware of this person.

<Russian goodness>

I'm not the hugest fan of foils, but damn. Those are pretty. Gotta appreciate the rarity.

I may not have done well at the SCG Invi at Somerset, but I did manage to pick up some sweet stuff.

First, some "SP" German LEDs I got from Star City. TES is so close...

http://i.imgur.com/DSTf29Gl.jpg (http://imgur.com/DSTf29G)

Next, traded away 3 SP LEDs and 2 Deltas (all English cast-offs) for this hot Workshop. The only damage is the slight nicking on the top and some almost-invisible damage on the left side. Almost perfect alignment too. Definitely can't complain about that deal! The Sol Ring was marked at $60, so it was pretty obvious what I was spending the $50 credit from 4-0'ing the Legacy Challenge on.

http://i.imgur.com/cZOTTnil.jpg (http://imgur.com/cZOTTni)

Backs. Yeah that Sol Ring is pretty shuffle creased.

I'll ask in our LGS, some dude gots an oriental foil Lili.
But I'm not sure if she's korean or not, as I don't care of foils and thus immediatelly forgot the fact right after I knew it. Also, he's a collector himself, so this little bit sucks,as he might wish to keep her.
Otoh, I know he asked about the prices of the card, so maybe he's willing to sell it. IF I don't forget to ask tomorrow, I'll ask for the details: koreanity of card, (near)mintisness, price, etc.

So you traded for/bought rare cards, meaning you own them, but you're not showing them because the previous owner doesn't want you too? Or am I missing something? Because, why would you care? And why wouldn't you be allowed to show them?

Unless they're stolen or something

I *don't* think I've seen them on the libraries before. Well just to set things straight, the cards aren't stolen. It's just like if I legitimately bought a Proposal card, I won't splash scans of it everywhere. It was the previous owner's wishes in this case, so I'll just honour it, although from the one I can show, the rest are easy to extrapolate.

Just to not spam, here's a terrible pic of a Llanowar Elves.

Hi fellow pimpers, my friend has set eyes on some japanese, signed and altered (OMG!) Wastelands.
Now, the question is, is the signature real or fake? It does not look like Una Fricker's typical sig but then again, she hasn't signed a lot of cards so there's not too much to compare to.

They don't look like any Una Fricker's sig I've seen before, also the sig changes significantly between both cards and I don't think Una would outline the artwork of her card with sharpie. I would be very hesitant on buying these cards.

Watermarking is a thing, regardless every time someone posts pictures of a legitimate card like Proposal it gets used in fraudulent auctions/sales - shit is annoying. FWIW, spamming pictures of the card is similar to passing around the name of someone you purchased a bunch of really expensive cards from. Sometimes people don't want to be bothered by randoms asking if they have cards for sale etc, it's just a polite thing to not name names and point fingers.

Hey all, new poster here. Started playing in 1994 but only recently decided that collecting was going to be a real passion / hobby of mine. I was hoping to actually get some advice from some serious collecting pros. I thought my collection grew at a decent rate.. but some of the stuff on this thread has my heart rate racing.

What advice would you give someone who wants to get into collecting seriously? Do you find most your finds on ebay or opens / pro tour stuff. I guess any advice someone would be willing to share.. would be amazing and super helpful to someone who really wants to step up their game.

Any advice for not having the wife lop your head off on MtG purchases is a tough one to crack also

Chill. The reason why this happens, without coming across as pompous, is simply because there are certain potential ramifications of showing such cards off which everyone would rather avoid. Now of course, as I have title to the cards, I could give the equivalent of a *no fucks given* meme and just post them, but that defeats the purpose of whatever agreement I had with the seller. If it's preferred, I can reword by saying that while I can post pics, I choose not to. There are quite a lot of oddities which aren't supposed to exist, and often get leaked out in the same fashion say splendid genesis did. Some sellers just rather not get cards traced back to them, it's not a difficult concept, is it?

And as I said, there will be a scan of at least one of them. Without signatures from Larry Bird nor Cicero.

It's like me saying "guys, me and my wife just bought something really expensive, but I can't tell you what". Not exactly thrilling...

Also I simply don't understand where's the trouble with naming of those cads, unless the dealer didn't want even this. (For a reason I also don't get, is it something that rushed from GMO laboratory or what?) But now I simply can't care less, because I'm completely fed up with the whole thing.

You come across as a little bitter. Not only do you stoop to a caricature of what I said, but you don't even do it well. If I can showcase a card, I don't see a reason to act coy. Some of the 8e stuff, Jud stuff, actor cards and 5D prints could have fallen into your category of "sweetest thing ever but I can not tell you what it is and you will never ever see it", and yeah, images and information on these is all over. I've always shared whatever info I had and could.

Then don't. It's the internet. I can't stop you from being forcibly passive aggressive, I sure as hell can't stop you from not looking at a card I post in the future.

At the beginning I was really interested what might be the cards that might not be named. Seen how this degenerated into stupidity, I decided to not give a fuck about them. Sorry that I've been interested in your shit. It won't happen anymore.

Hey Occam,

As a longtime MtG player/collector/enthusiast I've always loved your posts (here and elsewhere). Been doin' this just for fun for 20 years now - no point in getting wound up over a hobby. :wink:

Hey thulnath!

I expected to see pictures of cards in this thread, or at least read their names. That's why I became interested in Occam's purchase.
But as he was really cryptic about it, and his other posts about this purchase also provided nothing of interest, I ceased to care, mainly because FOR ME there's nothing to care about.


Btw, Occam, I'm not sure why you think I'm hostile or anything. I just asked what the cards are and was told that they can't be posted nor named. And then I asked if there's at least some possible way to reveal them, e.g. Photoshop the card images so that they can't be used to rip someone. Read your answers...
Is it so hard to understand that there is nothing interesting about the thing? That's when I decided to not care, because FOR ME there's nothing to care about in THIS PARTICULAR AFFAIR. No pictures, no names, and I don't feel like I want to play "what's in my pocket?" game of riddles today, so I moved away from this thing. It's not like I belittle your collection or anything, or that I don't wanna see your future cards, etc.
Once again: I was interested in your stuff, you made it clear you can't reveal it, I made it clear that then there's nothing I can care about, & of story bro, ur cool guy, cya later...

I'm nowhere near Occam's level, but trust me, when you drop k's on cards, the first thing you want to do is showcase them.
If Occam said he can't, there must be a good reason for that. Maybe because the card is easily linkable to the previous owner once shown for some obscure reason, or maybe because the card is Proposal and thus not showable.
Just don't be a smartass :)

Technically, yes. Although people have tried to cut sheets to be perfect, they are usually not successful. Cutting a sheet perfectly isn't easy to do. Also, I think I'd rather have an uncut beta sheet as only a handful exist while the number of beta power and such far exceeds the number of sheets of beta on the market.

Worth even more as a stack of Beta "miscuts" But in all reality I bet it is worth a ton more as an uncut sheet if that is really what it is. I used to have one that looked just like this but it was single sided. Thhey was sold as posters.

Edit: I am a dumbass reading is tech so as a set of uncut sheets worth a ton more.

ReAnimator
08-03-2013, 12:29 AM
The uncut sheets of cards (beta and others) used to be given out as special prizes for big tournaments way back in the day, there used to be a lot more of them floating around. I think most of the beta ones got chopped and sold off which is a shame and makes this one rarer now i would assume. I've seen a few poorly cut beta singles back in the 90's and i remember most people knowing what happened to them, and it being fairly common knowledge, this is when i was living in the Vancouver, near ish to Wotc HQ, i assume they were a more common sight back then in that region, as Wotc people used to travel to near event and give out swag to nearby stores for special events.

I guess the smart thing to do here then is miscut it like alphas and remove volcanic if its there. Or just keep the only alpha volcanic in existence.

Uncut sheets are never worth more than the actual set in summation, though. 20k for the sheet, even if it is magic backed, is horrendously high because of how hard it is to cut it. That said, the couple of revised sheets that were "miscut" and went on ebay made the seller almost five figures in profit. This is exactly why people who collect miscuts should always be wary of that possibility, and those aren't even the only things cut from sheets and passed off as actual cards that I've seen on ebay.

Sorry if I was confusing but I wouldn't ever even mention standard on this site. It's all trash.

The p9 still don't increase in value relative to other eternal cards. They will also never see a price spike since demand is rather flat. Also their power is already realized, meaning they won't ever be discovered and broken and see a huge price jump. Show and tell was the last card this happened to I believe.

Compare to beta duals that see play. Some time in the next few years a single beta underground sea will be worth more than a lotus. It is already worth more than an unlimited lotus.

Yes reserve list cards are a good store of value. But anything vintage I wouldn't expect to increase. My most disappointing vintage investment was bazaars. Think I got em for 130ishand now maybe worth 200. Had I have bought foil polluted deltas instead I'd have over 1k easy.

I mean, Alpha Fastbond is worth more than Revised Plateau as well; but I'm not not banking on Plateau seeing more growth. If you're viewing MTG cards as strictly investment vehicles, then you're wasting your money and time. There are much better stocks to invest. Buy the cards you want to collect (rather than invest), play with the ones you think are fun and cool to play with, and share your cool stuff!

You don't realize any gained value until you sell your cards. Tracking your MTG "stocks" is a fruitless effort unless you sell them when they are high. It's not a retirement strategy. There are also rather high transaction costs in order to realize the gains/(losses).

Anyways, this is off-topic. Less financial talk, more pictures of hundred dollar bills please.

I was being sarcastic. That deck is one of the worst things I've seen on here, and I once posted 3x Teferi's Realms as a pimp post. I have to believe that you were trolling with that deck, because otherwise I might lose all faith in humanity.

For casual, that's pimp enough for me! You ever try to play casual with foreign foils?

Janky like a rabid tiger with chainsaws for hands ... on fire ... with AIDS ...

I actually brought Caged Fury, Wizards and Dredge so we'd have some extra decks ... the zoo deck had proxied moxen since unlike Paul Callis I don't have double power.

I played ... the Wizards that Time Forgot (or the Wizards who forgot their Beta Time Walk at home) ... I put the Time Walk in the pictures.

I find it ironic that the source mat was easier to find than a miscut kiln fiend -.- . God dammit, the one that I am aware of has been eluding me for months.


Nice find, though. Lucky :p

About a year ago after getting bored of RUG delver I thought "You know what would be a sweet deck to play? Elves." I haven't missed a top 8 yet this year, so I'm pretty glad I decided to fully pimp this shit out.

Yeah, I know I need to get those FNM therapy's out of there as soon as I can. I haven't found another 2 to trade for or buy IRL, and if I can't get em in the next month or so I'm just gonna get em online. As for the Llanowar Elves, I only have 1 of the old border foil versions, which is in my cube. If I had more copies I'd probably play em, although I don't have much preference between the old and new borders.

Might of been me. I know a few others were after them. This was the second one I've seen for sell, first one they wanted 750...

Pretty sure I've been the most persistent at trying to find a source mat. I'm lucky Matt saw it for sell and let me know ASAP. Couldn't have done it without you man. I owe you. DC?

kiln fiend bro, I know you found one, but it was in a precon that someone purchased. Get your stalker skills on.

The only one I know of was a chinese kiln fiend (with forest also visible), that was foil.
