I was looking at the Birds/Island and just noticed how bizarre they are. Judgment symbol on the Birds? Parallax Tide art on the Island?

Same person. I was talking/advising him while he bought it, and while he sold it. He got a nice turnaround for it. I even remember the buyers and sellers, all MTGLibrary people.Quote:

Stuff being Pimped (these are all foil, it's not really obvious)

The dirt you can see comes from the perfect sized sleeves, every card there is in fact Mint. The islands are signed by Kenji Tsumura, and the catbus token is drawn by Daren Bader on an Artist Proof Cultural exchange. I use it to separate MD/SB in my deckbox :D
Very very pimp cards!!
Very compliments Spardantevi.
Your island are very very strongh!!!
I had japanese ancient tomb and city of traitors too!!
Too bad that FaerieStompy sucks.
But the cards are HAWT nevertheless. Good job! How much did you pay for the Sea Drakes?
Too bad that fench and japanese suck.
Faerie Stompy, French and Japanese rule. Don't miss-understand things guys :D
I traded my French drakes to the Japanese ones, so they costed as much as a regular playset :tongue:
Those islands are incredibly hot.
I think I'm most excited to find the french translation of Mulldrifter - "Vagabond of thoughts."
Wow. That's sweet. I knew there was a reason why I was trying to get FWB french duals. French is sweet.Quote:

Now if you tell me he sold them to you for a quarter each, i'm going to come stab you. My store sells foreign as if they are Mint Beta Foil's. Saw a Italian Mana Vault going for $75 in the case one day...
Always good to hear, my friend. The libraries people are excellent and great traders to boot, plus some of the most knowledgeable on various misprints. The juggernauts were from there, as well as quite a few other test prints/misprints.Quote:

I have no idea why they used parallax tide's picture, though, but it looks pretty good that way. Test prints are from various sets, of differing rarity and price. For example, only 1-2 copies exist of certain 5th dawn prints, hence the price is much higher. There are only 2 of each 8e print as well -- the other island print was sold on eBay for 1k, while I got mine for slightly less. Exodus foil test prints are worth a bit less than equivalent prints from other sets due to availability -- a foil silver bordered city of traitors would be worth about a third of a 8e painland, for instance. There's a lot else to say, so if anyone is interested, just ask or we can talk on PM.Quote:

That is amazing. I see some solid playables like that swords, daze, fireblast so on. Nice deal!Quote:

Just a couple to keep the thread moving.
I shall se if my friend have any pictuers of his cards, he has all 20 fetches foil, all blue duals beta, alot of other beta duals (I think his aiming for all 40), 4 foil goyf, all other relevant foil pimp (BS, Moongoose, BoB etc) and also a huge t1 collection (4 Bazaar, 4 Shops, 4 Drains, 9 BB Power, LoA) and probebly more that I'm missing :)
Italian Tabernacle in the middle of all that ruins it all. It's not even English!
Yeah, yuck. I used to have 3 English Moats and 1 Italian Moat in my Stax, but it was so annoying drawing the Italian one every time...I really had to get that 4th English Moat...Italian Legends =/= pimp.Quote:
