On caltrops: I think it comes down to art preference. I like both pieces of art a lot, but I personally would get the 7th ed. foil version. I like the spikeballs in that one and 7th ed. foils belong together since you said you have foil 7th ensnaring bridge I would go with 7th for that reason.
But those are some really awesome foil russian cards sir. I am a fan.
Fay Jones is still alive I believe but Fay doesn't like to sign stasis, because of the art. Signed copies of stasis are incredibly hard to find for this reason and kudos to Markers for getting some copies and I love how you got on magic arcana with the signed beta set, major kudos to you sir.
This is why Markers and the Brazilian guy have like 10+ each ... There so much more rare signatures out there.Quote:

I know there are rare signatures, as Markers has posted about signed cards that are a bitch to find like red elemental blast because Richard Thomas doesn't sign by mail and tracking him down is quite difficult according to Markers. Same with other obscure artists I'm sure that drew art for alpha/beta and a few years later stopped producing art for mtg.Quote:

I genuinely like the art, and explained that, and six months later I got the cards I sent off to get signed, plus a whole bunch of other Stasis proofs. Not sure how it went down with Markers, if he got it straight from her or from someone else.
I mostly "shit" on people like you when I do. I rarely hate on cards themselves. Also I mostly remained calm and silent because of the all cancer and hatred spreaded here for so long and you seem like warming up some of this good old shitty rant. Props from my side.Quote:

The point was mostly even if I did not put it this way in the other post - out of the 302 beta cards of that particular set someone is like "OMFZG A SIGNED STASIS" which way overrates the card compared to the others.
Signed Stasis are sweet. They're really hard to find, Beta signed Stasis is a pimp card.
Oren are you saying that they're not sweet? I don't get it, what's not cool about it.
your pimp is not anothersQuote:

a set of foil innistrad might be pimp for some, others want PSA 10 alpha or a summer set
how much is a beta signed statis - a hundred bucks, a thousand?
not much in the scheme of things
Overrating something because of lack of knowledge (I even saw signed copies selling on ebay a while back iirc) and getting inadequately overexcited is something I am not capable to completely understand while I appreciate the Stasis; the set overall and the fact that Markers got some spotlight on his collection.
hi guys,
i have a question,
in a deck like sneak-show, where many cards don t exist foil(sneak,show, tomb,city(and other foil are only promo(petal,intuition), is better for pimp, use some foil for complete, or make all deck, russian-japanese (but all not foil)
because i see that for some people, are more pimp russian-japanese not foil, than foil eng(or other european language)
best regards
Should I buy a Ford Focus or a GMC Sierra? No fucking clue. How about you do what you like instead asking others? Isn't that the whole point of a hobby such as this?Quote:

My problem with pimping in general is you can almost always go bigger. Sorry, but there are tournament legal foil cities. They probably just cost $5-10K.Quote:

You can have awesome stuff, but then people will always say "you need to upgrade such and such to misscut crimped summer" or use your imagination.
Choose an aesthetic that you think is awesome, stick to it and decide to be in the camp that believe's pimp is in the eye of the beholder instead of what is strictly the most expensive.
Good luck!
Thank you.Quote:

Between the trades made and tournaments raided to assemble the gift and the look on my boy's face when he opened it, the memories I associate with all my pimp shit are all the validation I need.
I mean, he hugged me. He's only done that two other times ever. Pretty good sign I hit a home run.

Seriously, subzero; if you're proud of your deck, show it off. Some people will appreciate the cards, some will appreciate the effort that went into acquiring them, some won't give a fuck. Long as you fit all three of the above, more power to ya.
3 Breakthrough :eek: ?Quote:
