But well, people tend to refrain from buying italian. I don't get that though, but i do the same like sheep (well mostly re-selling wise)... On the other hand if we are strictly speaking about 3rd FBB duals i think that it shouldn't care if it's italian/french/german especialy if mint.
main thing is if you wanna go with a one language deck your only options are english/italian/french&german.
that's something ...
mixing is fine, then again pimp is subjective ... w/e makes you happy

Mixing languages is a nessecary evil sadly, duels only come in a handful of languages

Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
The print quality is a little lower on the Italian ones (color, feel) and they also have the old Tap (sideways T) symbol.
Generally people like the higher color saturation of the French and German ones, also German for we English speakers since the type line is still Land.

Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
I'm glad the all English foil deck didn't garner any hatred. Some folks are pretty picky about what counts as 'pimp.'
I'll try to upload something to this thread this weekend... :)

Note: The Pridemage and the Charm were used as packing material for the Ingot Chewers. I feel like something is backwards about that...

I don't even like Russian cards or Elves, but Jesus. Only way to improve is with some Judge foil Cradles.

That's some pretty sweet stuff. Getting up to Smallfish's or SD's level of Russian stuff.

Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
I have a question. What is more pimp: NM Beta Duals or NM drastically Miscut white-bordered Duals?
I was at Vintage Champs and I saw Eli Kassis playing a deck which used playsets (4-of each miscut, all miscut differently) of drastically miscut Revised or Unlimited (couldn't tell) Volcanic Islands and Tropical Islands as the manabase. Now, Eli probably has access to any card he could possibly want, so in his mind playing these is more "pimp" than straight up NM Beta Duals. How does the community rule on this matter?

The community rules that Eli's pimp is a bunch of shit. He cut up sheets for money. If they were actually miscut, they'd win the war. But they're not.

Beta. By miles for me. His duals are hand cuts and my thinking is that he plays them to advertise the other he has for sale. Miscuts are neat, but Beta is Beta.

i sold a "original" miscut dual to him long time ago. I am not sure whether he got revised sheets to cut tbh.
Otherwise full agree with your last sentence

First card (of soon to be many) I've ever gotten in the mail, and the most pimp card I've owned.

What's your opinion on artists who sign with the date? I've always kinda not liked it because it feels like it makes the card less... I don't know - eternal-y?

I'm not a fan of dates. Not on my playmats. Not on my cards. It doesn't have to do with looking older or anything like that. I just think they're tacky and get in the way.
That being said, Ferguson is a baller and I would revere his used ass paper.
-
Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
I do have a couple exceptions.
Rob Alexander put the date when he signed my GP:DC playmat... at the GP. That's pretty neat.
GenCon 2012 (I think), Steve Argyle's hand was broken, so he offered a stamp that said GENCON 2012: BROKEN HAND EDITION. Pretty neat for the rarity. I hope to get that stuff actually signed at some point.
-
Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
I like it very much if the date is in the signature, because, so i can remember, wehn I get the card signed :)
It gives a little feel of personality.

Because apparently at Whole Foods, they allow you to write something for absolutely no charge. It was either this or "Happy Birthday, Scumbag."
Also, a Cruise-free format apparently tastes like lemon chiffon cake. Fo' sho'.

Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
Got back from Eternal Weekend today. It was a blast! Some of my pickups:
http://i.imgur.com/vVCbZtvl.jpg
Menges and Rush were there to sign my Koreeeeeen removal spells.
http://i.imgur.com/pKv8sjVl.jpg
Finished my set of Workshops. I had one from cube, and bought the more beat ones.

The second set of Russian Bob-signed Bobs in existence (according to Bob). nedleeds got there first... Also my second Russian Clique. The price was too good to pass up.

Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
Ban Treasure Cruise? Brainstorm is less letters and far more ubiquitous and abusive.
As for dates on signatures, I mean if the artist wants to do it I don't feel like harping on it. Jesper Myrfors does it, Snoddy does it, Andrew Robinson sometimes does it. Miracola randomly does it. Sometimes it works out well on double signed stuff, like Miracola 98 signed korean Firestorm, and 2012 signed.
RKFs signature is so fucking stout I really don't care, he was awesome and personalized a card for a friends son (who is named Dakkon). Jeff Menges was also a gentleman as he always is, and altered my alpha Sedge Trolls into Black Knights, now I just need to find Frazier again to complete the double signing.

Interesting. I got a Volcanic Island and some other stuff signed by Snoddy back in late '96 or early '97, and he didn't date it. Do you know when he started doing that?

Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
It has finally arrived!!! Very happy at the moment!
http://i.imgur.com/zuLBOwU.jpg
Back story:
A couple of years ago I bought some PSA graded Beta Power cards (I wanted a PSA Beta set back in the day). But then at the beginning of this year I realized that the prices for Beta Power were just getting insane (graded even more so). So I decided to trade my PSA cards for Beta Moxes to get a second set for my signed Beta collection.
And after a email conversation with Dan Frazier I decided to get them altered...The result is even better than I imagined. Awesome!!!
And now I have a signed Playset :) Here are the beauties:

Russian commends a far higher premium, due to a lower printrun.
