That's very awesome! The signature didn't look like "Lou Ferrigno" and I hadn't seen his sig before so I wasn't sure.Quote:

The Bazaars will likely be used for Minus Six.
I started a long time ago. Also, pimp for me is Portuguese, so while impossibly hard to acquire, it's cheap.Quote:

Those are hot. Such a good price! I bought some Bazaars during SCG's nonbasic sale (at a much worse price), I'll show off as soon as I get back in town.Quote:

Congrats on that. They look great for "HP" and especially for the price!Quote:

Amazing prices. I always said that if I found Bazaars at a decent price I would pick them up just to be able to play Vintage.Quote:

Sad to hear. Seeing the rise of fakes on the signed faceanus group and fakes on eBay artists not wanting (for justified reasons) to sign for a fee is only going to flood the market with more fakes. Maybe they are all independently wealthy, or monks but calmly sipping coffee and signing a hundred or so cards for $5~ a pop seems like a relaxing quick way to make $500 tax free.Quote:

I am not sure I agree with you 100%...I don't think there are many signature fakes out there. There is not enough money to be made and the signed cards market it to narrow. There is much more money to be made by faking Betas/Alphas or the hot Modern stuff.Quote:

About the artists: I can understand artists like John Avon who charge for signing cards. It's the amount of people asking them to sign that overwhelms them. And most of them have reasonable prices (Avon charges €1/card the last time I checked).
I'd imagine that the people faking hot cards and the people faking signatures are completely different groups. Printing your own cards is high capital expenditure. Faking signatures is buy cards > buy sharpie > sell "signed" cards. For the most part, there's lots of pictures of artists' signatures, so it's pretty easy to compare.Quote:

What I meant was: What signature would you want to fake? The "Evergreens" (Frazier, Poole, Tedin, Rush, Nielsen) sign through mail or attend a lot of conventions and there is not much to gain from adding autographs ($-wise). Really rare sigs like "Andi Rusu", "Dermot Power" or "Sam Wood" would sell well (price-wise) but the market for those sigs is extremely narrow. IMHO no 100 people would want signed cards from those guys at HIGH prices. And I doubt that those people would just buy into it without further checking.Quote:

So it's the end of the year. Here's a recap of the (maindeck) vintage pimp I've picked up this year.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ntagepimp1.jpg
The Bob and Flusterstorm just arrived today (with a sweet 20% off boxing day).
I hate that voltaic key but the damn thing is foil so I guess I have to play this art. Next year I hope to pick up some French FBB dual lands to replace the ugly white border revised lands (not pictured since they're not pimp) and maybe start on the beta power train if things go well at work.
404'd :(Quote:

Last day of the year and the postman brought one of the best packages of 2014:

And this package contained the last remaining cards I needed to make another completely signed set:
Stronghold!
What a beauty!

Nice looking deck! I especially like the S-Chinese Careful Study.Quote:

Last day of the year, last entry in Super Secret Tech, with an almost fully signed Legacy Four-Color Loam!

Nice work! Way to end the year guys. Markers, awesome as usual.
In a couple of weeks, I'll post 4 pages from a binder. 36 cards all Japanese foils, some signed pieces for Reanimator as well.
See you guys next year..
Props to everyone in the last few pages! That's what I like to see; keep up the good work everyone!
I'm here to end the year by taking it down a notch. Mostly been working on my gloriously white-bordered cube recently, so haven't really had anything pimp enough to be worth posting. The closest thing I've got is the deck I played most recently in Vintage. I really need to upgrade my Mystical, Vamp, and Will among others, but this deck was intended for play not pimp.
I present you with Burning City Vault for the lulz (aka loses2nullrod.dec):

Sideboard (Couldn't quite fit in the second Chains since good sense was not completely trumped by the irrational desire to hose Treasure Cruise, even at the expense of my own game plan):
http://www.mns-images.org/aahz/magic...tyvault_sb.jpg
While this deck is hilarious in more ways than are readily apparent at first glance, I cannot in good conscience recommend it for serious attempts at Vintage Victory. But if you don't mind losing horribly most of the time as long as you can occasionally draw half your deck on turn 1 without a Griselbrand in sight and/or uncounterably sending Oath/Grizbees far away from the current game, this deck just might amuse.
Too late.Quote:

Must have either cut Mystical or had Notion Thief in the board when I played it to make the math work.Quote:

And a complete set of Starter 1999...Nearly all the cards are NM. I collected this for quite a while and feel happy I finally finish it, it is beautiful in my eyes although it is white bordered and most cards in this set are reprinted.

I'll hopefully be posting something before Friday. There's three huge packages on the way.
Those complete sets are very nice. That Starter set reminds me of elementary school :P
