I am currently pimping out a Lands.dec and would like to know what people thing about the new Maze of Ith? I personally love how the old one almost looks gray but the new one is shiny.
So which would be more pimp? I know the new one cost more but that isn't everything. Personally I am leaning toward the old one but I believe the absolute most pimp would be the old one with Anson Maddoks signature as it is freaking impossible to find.
Signed Italian ones IMO. Almost impossible to find.Quote:

As stated, at least 2 complete sets exist. As for how many exist, no one really knows, but estimates are 10 cases of leaked product, plus when summer cards were dumped into the trash, wizards employees were allowed to grab stuff. Which means the numbers for high-end summer cards (at the time that would mean cards like Shivan, Vesuvan, Gaea's Liege, Tutor, duals etc) and weird looking cards like the Efreet and the Hurricane probably exist in inflated numbers. My guess is between 12-18 of each rare. Probably at the higher end. Uncommon figures are a bit tougher due to basics. I did calculations on that before, and if I can find them I'll post them.Quote:

Edit: Who am I kidding. I'm pretty excited I finally found a korean argivian restoration. Only a couple of cards missing for my highlander deck now. It also looks like I have a few too many wastelands. Still waiting on more in the mail, heh.

But what I´m always asking myself is : Are you a trader or did you just scooped to life and decided to have the most beautiful card collection on earth?^^
If nor is the reason, tell me how you got that job ;)
I wouldn't really call myself a trader as I am too lazy and don't keep up with type 2 trends as it is a crappy format. Most people don't even have cards worth trading for. If I do trade it is usually for things that people value poorly like korean singles, and legacy staples. I got 5 or 6 entombs for $3 each after it was unbanned just because people don't keep up with the banned list. Same with dream halls, although I didn't come across any show and tells.Quote:

I also buy cards for investment purposes. I bought 5 tabernacles in september/october for $100 each after testing 43 lands and being very impressed with the deck.
Hehe, thanks for the duals, bro :laugh:Quote:

Sold 5 other duals besides the ones you bought and still have people who want underground sea's and tundra's. Too bad I passed up a set of beta tundra's for $750 a few weeks ago. I also passed up some $350 nm- sea's cause they weren't alpha :tongue:Quote:

Anyway, here are some pics of some jap foils. Nothing too impressive, but still cards that are needed for highlander and what not.

I have my ichorid deck completely foil and I want to try to upgrade it to Japanese foil but I have noticed the price of Japanese foil to be ridiculously high.
For example a foil Iona is 20 dollars foil Japanese Iona is around 110.. Now is their a way to get these cards anymore affordable?
I mean if i go to Japan what are the prices for these cards?
Just man up. I did.Quote:

Therapy, study, breakthrough, dreturns, narcomoeba, dredgers, etc are all quite cheap. Also, if you decide to go for 8th cities and m10 needle's that would also save a lot of money.Quote:

If it was cheap or easy to get, it wouldn't be pimp now, would it? The entire point of having a pimp deck is showing off how rich (and crazy) you are. If you can't afford it, you're not rich enough. Or crazy enough.Quote:

Why call it 'pimp' then? A more appropriate term for your definition would be 'personalized deck'. Ofcourse is pimp about your penis, and bragging about it here is for your epeen. And The_Gunslinga, Occam and andrew77 are hung like an elephant.
