I've found a guy with 20 russian ravnica boosters for 3$/each. Hmmm, I'm not very lucky... But this modern hype with "duals" and bobs is tempting. What to do...?Quote:

20 boosters could come from a box which was searched via blackbook so you should care a bit at least :wink:
bought a russian ravnica box for 235$ - hope i pull something nice^^
when i hear boosters sold out for 10$, i should grab some of the boxes on ebay, price is near the price i paid
i already had some luck and pulled a japanese foil delta and a jap foil exalted angel from 2 boxes (but both were in the same box)
i could try challenging my luck again =)
Maybe someone else enjoys them as much as I do.

oRen, that Choke is amazing.
i proudly present my most recent foreign deltas (besides the ones iīve already posted), all of them are packfresh, except the two signed ones!
http://img4.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...ermz6143gd.jpg
the chinese foils are 6 weeks old, the japanese foils are one week, one from yesterday and one was pulled from a onslaught tournament box by myself - i was soooooo happy you cant imagine =)
the other german ones are 2-3 weeks old.
enjoy!
btw: hadnt thought that russian bob would hit the grand. one day iīll get me a playset of those too
still need a last japanese one, but totally out of cash right now...i barely could afford that awesome signed korean 5th mana vault on ebay :-/ sooo nice, can sell my 4bb korean one now =)
edit: damn, that soooo big, crap! if i rescale to 800x600 you cant recognize anything, not even the language. should i do 150dpi scans in future?
Once you're spending 800, the mental barrier of 1000 isn't far away.
Those foils look like they're got junk on them, but I figure it's from the sleeves being dirty. They're very nice!
-Matt
nope, except the 2 signed ones (NM) all other ones are packfresh and true mint, edges, corners and surface is mint on them - that crap is just on the sleeves =)
in total i got 16 foil deltas, but the other 4 i already posted months ago (4 nonsigned german ones). i just love this card soooo much, helped me so often already =)
Sold a lot of my collection, but here is some stuff I have left (apologies for the picture quality; I just used my phone camera):

Awesome stuff, Petal Collector. This thread has been awesome lately.
Looks like martina changed her signature alittle.Quote:

Petal, if you're going to the Mirkwood Cup, I'd be interested in taking that stuff off your hands :)
-Matt
Quite proud of what I have so far:

I'll see if I can upload my fully foiled Child of Alara EDH deck later :)
Guess what card decided to show up and say hello in my mailbox today?
Pack fresh Beta Tropical Island. It's so fucking ripe.
-Matt
Pics or I'll be sad!
You should be sad for my bank account :P
I'll post pics soon.
-Matt
Hopefully some of you will enjoy this one, it belongs to one of my friends:

I've just received the one on the left. I've highlighted areas of dirt on the card, so unfortunately, not a 10. But, still a nice Trop :)
-Matt
Good Work on the Trop! Sorry to hear about your bank account.
I'll have more german stuff to post in a week or so :D
post a pic of your collection sde
I would, but it's not that impressive. It's one white cardboard box with Spongebob Squarepants stickers on it. Or do you mean the cards themselves? :)

I never get what Magic has to do with those creepy Manga characters, apart from destroying/defacing a Magic card of course.Quote:

this video has been posted in this thread before - it's old news (and ugly)
also, whoever outbid me for Sharuum the Hegemon Russian Foil Garfield Signed is going to hell
Damn the Sharuum went for a lot, I was keeping an eye on it, but it went above what I wanted to pay.
Nowhere near as much as the $1027 foil Russian Bob, of course, but still!
What is everyone's opinion on signatures?
I like artist only, myself, occasionally Garfield. Especially no pro players, how lame.
And I usually only like sigs I obtained on my own.
I like artist or garfield only altered/signed cards.Quote:

Artist / Garfield autographs are the only pimp I really care about. Having the inventor of the game or the person who drew art sign the card is the ultimate thing. It's the uniqueness of the card that drives all of us. Collecting Japanese / Russian / German / Korean or other non-English cards might be a thing. Foil is another. Collecting signed cards is just another thing. And it is MY thing ;)... I don't get foils or cards I can't read (and German sounds silly)Quote:

Artist / Garfield alters on a signed card is a very, very nice bonus and makes the card in my eyes even more unique.
Sigs by other people than Garfield or the artist are in the same category a non-artist alters: It's a no-no for me. (Guy on picture like Bob is a grey area)
depends. In general, I donīt like those, too. However, if one of those Pros used this special card for some sort of achievement, e. g. GP Top8 or something, then itīs perfectly fine.Quote:

in saying that i have a Garfield signed library - but it's only library
The Domo Zoo is for sale on ebay.
A buddy of mine ended up getting it. He said the only way he's getting rid of it is if someone offers quite a bit more than what he paid for it, though I'm not sure what that figure is.Quote:
