Damn, Korean Necropotence are so pricey :/
@andrew77
That miscut sea is one of the coolest cards I've seen. How much did that set you back, just out of curiousity?

It makes a lot of sense that they are identical. Intuitively speaking, it should raise a red flag that our cards look very similar, or even identical. However, let me theorise why they are so similar. The reason for that is that Underground sea was a R1 in revised and occupies the same position on sheets every time. A printing press that has essentially run out of ink on certain portions is going to have gone through several sheets before being discovered, which means that every Sea on those sheets looks like that. It could also result in either 1) the other cards below the sea and other cards on its line to be completely albino or 2) create albino blocks on the sheet.Quote:

That said, I am worried that your first response was that I may have misappropriated the card. :P
Awesome. I have been trying to get russian foil goyfs for some time, but am finding it impossible to track them down.
@Occam. Just out of curiosity did you get the sea from an american collector who used to have quite a nice collection of summer cards as well as other misprints/rarities?
As far as I know he hasn't liquidated his summer collection yet. I placed a bid of about 7+k on his efreet, but he wants to sell as a set. In any case, if we are talking about the same person, he's a great person (we've had quite lengthy PM chats about summer magic and other stuff), and was also the person who sold that parallax tide island on ebay. I remember a real frenzy when people first saw that card, as to why it looked like that, whether it was fake, whether it was a 6th ed print or 8th ed print, how many there were around etc.
To add, I rarely showcase cards that aren't summer, test prints or which have special meaning to me, but that card was one of his favourite pieces, and is a very nice piece that people would probably enjoy. I'll leave the posting of other nice cards (miscuts, foreign cards, power etc) to people like you.
Yep, It is the person I had in mind. I got one of my mistamped islands from him actually.
If I had known that, I would never have assumed that they were the ones without stamp. He abhors those. Alright, let's let the thread move on without clogging it up with all the talk. :)
My wife and I both speak some Russian and have family over there. I'll see if any of them want to go hit some card stores hunting for some. Shouldn't be too horridly hard to get.
now that you've piqued my interest, i'm curious as to what exactly this card isQuote:

I was a bit lazy to do so before, but I recently took a high res scan of the Island for a friend, so I can post it here without the other cards if you would like to keep a scan of it. Just to be clear, the one that was sold on eBay is in Belgium now. Mine was from another source.Quote:

I'm starting to take pics of Sharuum, even if it isn't done.
Here are the critters I run! :D All 17 are foil, only 10 are Japanese so far ...

Which do you guys think is better, Korean or German FBB Lightning Bolts? And how much do they usually run? There aren't any on Ebay now, any other place people usually use for foreign stuff?
The german bolts have a cool name! Blitzschlag.Quote:

I got my set of FBB Germans for a little over $20 from The Gunslinga on MOTL I think. They are quite nice, but I'd certainly upgrade to Korean if given the chance.

on the subject of foreign languages being pimp, my preference is Russian. Russian looks almost alien. plus a wolf token almost says "Bonk"

German >>> Korean.
Fuck cards I can't read.
It's mainly a matter of taste, though.
Korean is always better than Germany just 'cuz they are the rarest so every other justifications are just related to own choices of pimpness!
A new upgrade!

Korean > by far any other languages
thicker than other cards, nice print colors and so much rarer.
i d say pimp languages order is :
korean > french & german & japanese > italian & Russian & Portuguese & spanish > chinese.
english ranking depends of the set.
the first printing of the cards will ALWAYS > a reprint (unless it's a rare missprint/cut)
DCI / PROMO = only good to fix a wobling table (unless it isn't foil)
and non foil >^gogolplex foils (foil is imho the wrost part of pimp)
There's a lot of promo's out there with great art, eternal dragon, vindicate :D
I hope this is a joke, these are ridiculously ugly promo's.:confused:Quote:
