This weeks highlights (after Julie's Alpha mail):

Thanks to sdematt for getting me Ray Swanland cards signed...Finally got the playset of those Mesa together...
The Stoneforge Mystic is/was one of the newer cards that I looked very long and finally found a signed version.
And one more Karn the signed playset is complete as well...

Preeeeeety. Pretty much NM except for the bottom back border. Still like, NM- overall.
so 20 http://static.starcitygames.com/sale...in_raiders.jpg for belcher now?
Markers; those are some sweet sigs. I especially love the Karn alter, here's hoping your whole set has such pretty hair. (Go one further and maybe get one altered like Elvis or Johnny Cash? Karn's already in pretty much the right pose to be an old-school singer.)
I used to use the "Ho" deck from Pimp: the Backhanding for all my token needs, until someone stole my Standard deck and that game was in the box with it. I'd shuffle it up and peel off however many I needed. It was hilarious. People especially hated being beaten with the underage ho or the tranny, though when I lost to a maindeck Moat last spring (with non-LED dredge) I found out that hos can't swim.Quote:

/tangent
EDIT: fuck whomever stole that game from me. I could totally post it here, as it is a pimp deck in its own way.
This is fantastic.Quote:

On Topic (kinda): I have a stack of Johnny, Combo Players I use for storm count and Empty the Warren tokens.
Pick this up at a local store. The delvers have been used in a GP, so they are tourney legal. The dark rit is a pretty cool proxy

That Dark Ritual would be picked up in an instant by several members if that was real.

Good to see some clean non-foil ferrin' sweetness. It's also one of my favorite deck archtypes. Next time I put mine together (mine has m0ar white than black and Scullers) I'll pic it and post it.Quote:

These are very nice. Each one looks identical to the next. These were painted, right?Quote:

Is that a test print or something? Is it tournament legal?
Edit: Nevermind, noticed the symbol now, must be the Judge Rewards version then? Never seen one before.

I don't classify 5 different languages pimp...
Not trying to hate, and to each their own, but it looks like you picked through a dealers foreign binder and grabbed the Belcher stuff at two different GPs.
seemed to me that way too. one of the unpimpest decks posted here. ever.Quote:

The belcher deck is sweet. There is no ambition more noble than defeating your opponent on the first turn with cards they cant read.
Clearly you've never heard of Bryant Cook.Quote:

These are just a few random cards i picked up at the prerelease I went to.

This was also a throw in for one of the trades
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...r/mail_5-2.jpg
and the back

i would goddamn love it, if you part with one of those jap foil signed brainstorms =)Quote:

That's impressive more-so in the fact that DiTerlizzi never shows up at events anymore. He's also changed his signature from ~2001 of simply his initials. Well done!Quote:

The jap foil brainstorms are Balthor's, and he will NOT part with them. Espescially now that they are signed. He's anal like that lol. We sent ours to Tony and he was awesome to communicate with. He's been on vacation and touring. A real nice guy same with Dan Frazier, he literally had his backyard burning with wildfires and he was still able to sign cards and talk. Another classy guy.
I've been trying to track down Chinese foil brainstorms, jap foil are easy to find..did they make chi foil mercadian masques?
there is no chinese masques :-)
I disagree. He kept each playset a distinct language. :cool:Quote:

Clearly you didn't look at the Brainstorms about two posts up.Quote:

Aren't they only like a couple/several hundred each? I don't want to sound like a dick when I say only, since it's not chump change, but I don't consider that infinite.
Still, very nice stuff. Daym.
-Matt
They're not literally infinite. But I've seen sets sell for $1300-$1500 before, because finding them in complete sets is very difficult. Not to mention finding someone who is willing to part with them.Quote:

That's awfully overpriced given you can buy them on Ebay right now for $200/bin, and the last playset of them sold on there for ~$700. I think you'd be pretty damn lucky to get over $1000 for a set, and anyone paying well beyond that is probably just desperate to find them.Quote:
