I remember you guys talking about top loader decks... A guy at my LGS top 4'd a TCG 1K I think it was with Foiled out top loader werewolves. He uses the top loaders because the werewolf themed sleeves he has he said he cant find anymore and he wants them to stay clean.

Not sure if you can view the page or not, but 4th place is the deck list.
No checklist cards in his deck. He has the unflipped foils in his deck and the flipped foils on the side (also in toploaders).Quote:

(one more is on the way)
Also got 3 playsets of english ones =)
Muahaha :D
-Marvin
And there we all are, wondering why it suddenly jumped ;)
*ClapHands*
storing endless staples for no other reason than speculation. Any People here really blame collectors for the prices of staples
But if it makes him happy to simply own those foils, it's ok?
@Marvin: Well done and more power to you, dude!
Haha :D
there are more lillys out there =P
I traded some nice stuff for those cards (even alpha ancestral), so don't mind new cards available again for other guys out there :)
Haha thanks bro ;P
Also got a bunch of foils decays :D
Wonderin if I should post them :D

They are guru lands. Compared to some cards in this thread like foil russian miscut ONS fetch lands and such, they seem fairly simple. Also, I think there is one guy in this thread who has 27 of each or something like that.Quote:

I've been thinking of getting some stuff signed, how much do you generally tip and about how long is the turnaround time?Quote:

Stop being bitter because you just follow whatever card ends up in tier 1 decks, even though the card has been out for a long time. If you had the foresight to purchase 10+ foil Liliana's, you could have done the same and sold them for a profit so that you can finance your other decks. The only reason why certain cards are really expensive is because a lot of players just net-deck tier 1 deck lists. Not because a couple of guys purchase more than a playset of a certain card.
umm WTF do you know about meQuote:

but that doesn't stop me claiming that it's both overrated and overpriced atm
I see an encroaching war... Let's not make the argument of this is too much money and you're too stupid to not get the cards earlier. Let's not argue about it if you're just complaining for something to complain about... this little flame is being put out like a camp fire, by a man standing over it before it starts up again into a pointless and annoying flame war.... Let's bring back the PIMP talk shall we?
Just because you think it's overrated and overpriced doesn't actually make it so. There are a lot of people that simply hate foils and they use the same argument against any foil or beta card (I'm a foil collector myself).Quote:

The good news is that he had the foresight and economic sense to buy out 10 of them, the bad news is that he didn't buy out 20 of them.
On topic:
Which image hosting site do you guys use? I have plenty of fodder for this thread, but its too much of a hassle to upload pictures >_<
Paid Flickr hands down. Most of the image hosting used by people in this thread is downright horrible.
I don't send cards out to be signed often (I prefer not to have them tied up too long) but it depends on the artist. Terese Nielsen is fantastic with signing by mail. I also had a good experience sending cards to Dan Frazier after meeting him at an event. With some artists it may be weeks though. It's worth it to me to include $10 or so for a package of 10-15 cards in addition to a note thanking them in advance.Quote:

You have to admit that you did not expect good things to happen by posting this. This is the pimp thread...not the legacy or modern price speculation thread.Quote:

Concerning image uploads. I am now using the imgur workflow for Alfred on Mac. All I have to do now is press command, control alt U and I will automatically upload the selected file to imgur and have the link in my clipboard. This is a great tool for those who have a mac.
