A pimper's dilemma:
I ordered what I thought was a FBB Japanese Sylvan Library from TokyoMTG for my 4c Loam deck for the price of $65 which I thought was kinda high but whatever, it said condition NM/M. Just now I got the shipment confirmation and it turns out the card was a Korean FBB Sylvan Library, which explains the price. I need want Japanese FBB for the deck, but Korean is pimper. I don't have too many funds so let's say right now I don't want to buy a Japanese FBB Library.
WWYD? Sell the Korean to fund a Japanese one + extra cash left over? Or keep the Korean, save up for a Japanese one?

save the korean, play the korean, old korean looks better and blends nicely with japanese... it's a win-win situation, you bought yourself more pimp points accidentaly

Agree with Slosh here. I don't own many old Korean cards but those I do have I use interchangeably with my predominantly Japanese collection. They look awesome together - just don't get me started on new Korean I can't stand the font they use.

Thanks as well to you and the others for having such a great selection of cards. First time I've ever seen a Russian Jace or Goyf in person and the misprint Brainstorm was amazing. At the same time I also hate you guys for having such great cards since I spent more than I planned to. I was the one that bought the playset of Korean Snapcasters. I think you were the one that sold them to me. I may have also bought a Korean Flippy Jace earlier in the weekend from you guys. The foreign card selection from the other dealers was lacking.
Looking forward to seeing you guys at future events!

We had about 3k or so of foreign playables in the back. When you're one of the few booths that buy foreign stuff, you tend to get a lot of it...

I should have asked you about some more unique cards I was looking at picking up over the weekend, but you were usually busy at the booth.
I had my friend come to you to sell his "miscut" (his words, not mine) bayou, thanks for letting him down easy, he didn't seem to want to listen to me. Lol.

The only thing that I would change is that beta disenchant for a TS foil japanese one. Or get beta counterspells (I think this is the best option).
Guru lands don't really match the beta/foil jap deck, but who cares, they don't look bad.

Well if you want to go ham you can go for full foil russian (if possible).
I personally dislike it and i dont really want to spend so much on cards i play (but i approve spending way more on card you dont play) but if you really want to go big you can easily ramp up a legacy tier to a 50k value going russian, for example blue fetches are between 10k and 15k already.

Full value = summer and misprints. I got past 100k on a storm deck just with nonsense like that. I just never really bought into the whole foil russian thing. People kept saying that foil russian jaces were at least 7-8k, and I have seen sellers struggle and fail to even move for 5. The same applies to Japanese foils too -- most people don't know what cost prices are if you can buy these in Japan, but at least Jp foils are a known and established quantity, plus the consistency in language helps.
I don't mind foil Russian, but I think portraying them as more expensive by that many multiples is not a great representation.

Well 10/15k for 4 misty and 4 tarn is actually reasonable, i found misty for 1.5k and i can only guess tarn are higher.
Giving an estimation for the miracle deck posted for example i would think the value may be like +8k on 4 tarns +1k on 2 mesas +10/12k on 3 jaces and like +5/6k for the white nonsense, and that deck should go past 50k this way given beta duals/foil japanese ons fetch/foil japanese top/foil japanese MM BS and foil japanese SDT imho.
Uh btw, the bolt will be in my hands next week :rolleyes:

You know that feeling when you spend 10+ years searching for an card or a rarity, and finally find it? Although not as impressive as Occam's stuff, I've only been able to ascertain the existence of three of these sets (I've heard 5 might have been made, but this was back in 95, and in an undesirable language to boot).
I feel as if I've completed my Magic collection... or started down the rabbit hole of rarities...
A full sheet set of "Portuguese Unlimited" (I've never seen or heard of any Portuguese 4th BB sheets getting out, so these are probably the first ones in this language):

no hate, but feels like these are not that rare as they should be :D
thought several times about picking some up, but couldnt convince myself yet
btw at what price do the foil no text bolts go for? i assume my last price from years ago isnt uptodate :p
In comparison with older cards, they aren't rare. But in comparison with English foil Monastery Mentor, they are very rare.

You know that feeling when you spend 10+ years searching for an card or a rarity, and finally find it? Although not as impressive as Occam's stuff, I've only been able to ascertain the existence of three of these sets (I've heard 5 might have been made, but this was back in 95, and in an undesirable language to boot).
I feel as if I've completed my Magic collection... or started down the rabbit hole of rarities...
A full sheet set of "Portuguese Unlimited" (I've never seen or heard of any Portuguese 4th BB sheets getting out, so these are probably the first ones in this language):

I think is untrue,
The summer one is cheaper and as far as i know easyer to find.
In general summer cards are not a problem to find and single -not duals/hurricane- cards are not that expensive, most expensive are bolts and rituals, but they are between 1 and 2k at best.

Yeah, I know the price isn't insane on Summer cards, as more have surfaced over the last years.
I still think it's easier to find textless than summer, though. :) At least, I've been introduced to many more (relatively speaking, of course) textless than summer.

Well there's a lot of factors but to make a long story short, I think that these things are in the "name your own price" category along with things like the Garfield family cards (e.g., Splendid Genesis), that set of Russian Foil Bobs, or the BGS 10 Alpha and Beta Lotus.
*All of this info is based on extrapolating from the info in the video, which could possibly not be the whole truth.
1. "Only" Barry worked on this set and Barry's group did all the play testing. Any cards that weren't in Barry's collection were likely to be single cards that the play testers held on to. That's no likely to be much and many of those are likely to have been destroyed, lost, or forgotten. Also, since WotC didn't test this, it's likely that they only have the submission form he showed; all text files, not cards. Also easily faked.
2. Misprint Guy (I should probably know his name) said that he bought everything worth having, he probably has, for all intents and purposes, every Spectral Chaos play test cards in existence.
3. From the info I've heard about him, MG doesn't seem likely to sell his stuff, especially the more rare pieces like this. As a result, any real cards are unlikely to emerge on the market.
4. Okay, so lets say that someone does want some of these cards or that some of these surface. What are these cards? Formatted text with straight lines in between them. The most complex fake would require you to acquire some colored card stock, cut with a paper cutter, and glued to some like-new revised commons. A fifth grader the inkjet that comes free with mom's Dell could replicate these.
5. As a result, the only way these cards have any value is if you know the provenance. So back to point 2. Even if you do get him to sell you some, your investment doesn't hold much value unless you get something like a certificate of authenticity from him.
I sometimes think about, and am disappointed by, the fact that twenty years in, there's no physical monument to Magic. If the Hall of Fame wasn't specifically from the Pro Tour, a physical HoF would be the perfect place for items like these. If an MtG museum ever happens, many of the best pieces will be in the hands of private collectors. Hopefully they'll be like the insanely-rich people who indefinitely lend out their art collections to museums so that the rest of the world can experience them.
Occam
11-23-2015, 08:43 AM
The judge textless bolts are a lot rarer than summer, and a lot more expensive. They look really nice too.
I lend out some of my cards from time to time. Nothing in magic which is attainable is truly a one-of piece, but I've displayed summer duals, hurricanes, textless saga, textless MMQ, the UL/AQ stuff, Seth Rogen etc. If I don't feel security is a concern, cards should be shared with people who want to see them tbh.
I'm not really that interested in playtest cards, to be honest. Anything that can be replicated that easily isn't really collectible.

Playtest cards have that "cool" factor, like someone who builds a deck that wins in a very unique way or pulls off a crazy win. They don't really have a "pimp" factor because they are unfinished, unusable and not really impressive looking. If you saw the video theres a card with a cock drawn on in pen or whatever as the artwork (here (https://youtu.be/eaOh-EqNYvE?t=11m20s) for all you weirdos), its weird.
The cool part is learning the story behind things like cards were taken from this set that are later used. Lotus petal was taken directly from the set. Mythics were suggested. Multicolored cards introduced.

Really sweet deck Noctalor. I'm surprised by how much I like the Japanese (?) font on the conspiracy Brainstorms and Duress, but I find it way too chaotic on the Cabal Therapies and Tendrils of Agony. Maybe that has to do with the old layout as well, but it just does't appeal to me. I agree with Death with respect to the probes, original art preferred by far ;).

That's part of the reason these cards simply are not pimp.Seconding this, one of my biggest turnoffs is promotional watermarks. The shooting star I can handle, but the FNM logo, DCI logo, Arena League logo and stuff like that is just a big no. I don`t mind the new frame in general, and if you want your Brainstorms to match your Probes and Ponders, that`s completely valid, but the FNM logo makes that edition a no-go for me. I find this particularly annoying on the FNM Kitchen Finks, where I love the alternate art, but it has that awful FNM logo.

Well is not even true, there are plenty of "shoting star" cards that are much better than standard ones, for example old layout NH and DC, flusterstorm.
And i do know those GP are not the "best" ones, but i tend to play the art i like and not the most pimped version anyway, this is why i play with KTK deltas and promo Probes but i have a 5k lightning bolt.
For the chromatic sphere, uh, the sphere itself is so damn cool in the mirrodin art, just look at it

Like just last week at a Modern GP, a GW deck top 8'd running both Liege and Smiter and no KOTR. Also the Naya big zoo decks that have been putting up results in the last few months run Smiter and Kotr.

Well is not even true, there are plenty of "shoting star" cards that are much better than standard ones, for example old layout NH and DC, flusterstorm.
Don't be fooled into thinking that Foil flusterstorm is the pimp choice, they are everywhere and ugly. Why not a German or Japanese flusterstorm? Much rarer and more interesting. Legacy isn't all about foil, most decks are running non-foil cards so look for interesting alternatives and stay away from promotional product.

Dunno man, i had both Jap and promo flusters and i chose to keep the foil ones :confused:
Also promotional product include Guru, PH Elesh, old foil bolt, old foil Waste, plenty of examples of good stuff, im not into any of those (would not consider my textless bolt a PR one) but they are indeed pimped.

I have not been paying attention to the big events for the last few months, I was only talking about my local meta (which is a pretty stupid thing to do on an internet forum). I used to play GW Hatebears as my #1 deck, but that deck withered away from me when Treasure Cruise Delver was a thing, and right after the ban, everyone started playing Tasigur, Angler and Terminate in every deck. Suddenly my beloved semi-vanilla 4/4s were just not that big anymore. Good to see big Zoo make a comeback. (I`ll stop derailing now, sorry.)

Also, no point in lumping every promo card in the same category, some (many) are shit and others are beautiful.

Guru, old foil Wasteland and Swords to Plowshares are ducking gems and I own them. I dunno why people choose and even consider other versions as pimp. As for Lightning Bolt, I like the format and color of mint old Beta.
As for Elesh, well I prefer matching languages:

Because we each have different tastes? The basic in my Lands deck is a foil Onslaught Forest because I started in Onslaught. The Wastelands are the 2010 ones because that's my favourite art. What you like might not mean anything to me.

Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the appropriate thread to ask, but does anyone have suggestions for where to buy Foreign Black Border duals online? What sites are reputable, have good stock, and are not overpriced? A portion of the purchase will be trades.
Also, is there a consensus on what's more pimp, FFB duals or Unlimited? I'm starting to think Unlimited is more desirable despite the white boarder.

FBB is by far more desirable. Not even close.

Are they really a true panorama? I think they look more like five individual pieces of art that fade/gradient into each other. None of the landscape changes look natural at all, they just bleed over. Compare them to some of the ones posted, and you'll see what I mean. It's a rough task though, to paint all five land types after each other like that. Some of the Lorwyn ones struggled with two.
I like the forest art though, and the fact that they don't have the post M15 black edge.

Apparently somebody appreciated it since people wanted to buy it after I defaced it. But good to know you shed a few tears. The card still taps for u/w, can be fetched, and even better the current owner is stuck with it since no dealer on earth (or person really) would ever want it. Even better he basically got a Tundra for 1/2 off. So he'll likely play with it. It's only destroyed from the perspective of somebody wanting to sell it, for somebody who wants to have fun, play Magic and remember the fun we all had at the Duel for Duels I think it's just fine. The way I see it nobody lost except for your inner Magic Card Justice Knight.

Talking about some FWB stuff, i asked Frazier to do his best to draw a happy little tendrils on a mox jet

I like it :^)
I think it came out awesome, especially given it's Venters art it's cool you got Dan to bite on the idea. Tendrils man looks sickly and fleshy.

Need to know a little about misprint to find them, btw the price is 5k for a non signed one, i cant estimate the value of a double signed one, is one of a kind i guess.

Well, only the case is signed, and it could have been signed without the lightning inside (not like bgs cases)
But it's really cool anyway, don't misunderstand me :wink:

Sometimes it's the simple things in life which are pimp. Sure, Summer everything and misprinted AQ cards are nice but there's something plain and simple about Beta Lightning Bolts.

I had to do a gatherer search for "Clerics" when I built this deck, because I didn't remember enough of them. People will learn, not that it will matter because the cards are mostly bad.

FBB duals I meant to put. (Typing on phone!!)
Google will find some vendors, the big players like SCG usually has some listed on their site.
I've had most of mine for years, but one vendor worth mentioning are these guys I picked up a Tundra from about a year ago.

They were alright with getting back to me and providing scans and had no issues with shipping from the U.K.
Best of luck on your quest.

So I have a deck going in the direction of Korean non-foil and English foil (probably odd to some but personal reasons and it would annoy the daylights out of me to have mix of foil/non-foil in one of the languages at the end). I'm hitting a roadblock on Brainstorms...I might just be terrible at finding these but would y'all keep searching for Korean 5ths or just call it and go Masques English foil?

It occurred to me while assembling Canadian Thresh / RUG Delver / Temur Delver / Simic Red that by most people's rules, it's probably the pimpest deck I own.
Pimp stuff from the main deck:

Pimp stuff from the side:

Unfortunately, aside from signatures, this deck will never be more pimp. I'm trying to get off of foils and I prefer English cards and bolts + unaffordable duals are about the only non-foil English pimp for most of these cards.

If you can get into unaffordable duals by getting out of foils, do it. The Dazes alone are pretty sought after, did you get those at Gencon this year?

So, you're disliking someone for owning BB duals, when your deck is worth about the same as two of his blue duals, has 0 white bordered cards, all japanese foil, where possible?
What a troll.

I'm not disliking someone. Clearly he put alot of effort and money into acquiring his pimped out deck. I'm just saying that, with as much maxed-out foil japanese pimpness there is in the deck, it feels as if it's incomplete without the best possible duals. Clearly some people can't afford to *fully* pimp out their decks, or just feel that FBB is adequate for them, but if I went to the trouble of acquiring foil Japanese versions of every single one of my cards, I'd feel a bit unsatisfied until I also managed to hunt down legitimate Beta duals to absolutely complete the deck.
