Kind of an inside joke I suppose because someone earlier in this thread claimed that they knew someone who traded their foil Japanese Dredge deck for mint Beta P9. Denial, I think, was being sarcastic and referring to that incident.Quote:

anyone who still can not believe this may feel free to contact pickle at magiclibrarities and ask about the trade ...
Oh, someone really did that? Granted, a foil Japanese Dredge deck is probably not cheap, but I doubted it would come close to a set of Beta power. Shouldn't be even close. Well, I guess if that's what you want, why not? At least it comes completed and not just a pile of cards. It's not easy to get those Japanese foils. I don't bother, but I wouldn't want to try. I've heard of weirder trades and done quite a few trades that made me shake my head in disbelief even when I was trying not to screw someone. It's an interesting story if true.
Keep in mind how hard it is to find old / japanese foils. Even with a lot of money, you'd still be hard-pressed to find Foil Jap Breakthroughs, etc. (For example, There are 0 NM Rishadan Port Foils on ebay / other online sites right now)Quote:

German humour is more prone to make use of local dialects, customs and varieties, which are abundant but less easy to translate.Quote:

gd. /jealous @ fetchlands
too bad some are signed. otherwise mad baller.
I'm jealous that he has signed cards. I've been looking for jap foil signed cards for my Tendrils deck, and can't find shit! So on that note, if anyone has anything you can pm me if you want.
Pft, you have ENGLISH foils in your deck.
No shit, that's y I haven't posted pics of my deck. Most off the deck is jap foil tho. It's not like ur deck is doneQuote:

I put this in the altered art thread too. I apologize if putting it in both is bad etiquette, but it's foil and got cool stuff on it, so I think it's pimp.
guess that kinda proves my point doesnt it.Quote:

I got my hands on them quite cheap I believe, but it'd be nice to know for sure.
Thanks.

I guess it's a matter of taste though, I liked my foil Goblin Welder before I sold it and the promo Urza's Saga basics are pretty hot.Quote:

Be careful, it's pretty loud, definitely reflects his full caps + 33 exclamation points + 7 1s in the title.

You're just jealous because Fathom Seers don't come in Korean foil in the old card face.Quote:

I'd also like to let you know that we've opened a online shop at Team Pataners where you'll find some "pimp" stuff. Many of you have asked me many times if I'm selling some of my cards. When I do, you'll find them at the online shop, so keep your eyes opened!

Kick ass!! Now those $710 alterations are only $674.50!! Shipping included! It's not can you afford to, it's can you afford NOT to.Quote:

Sometimes I can't understand people...
If someone would like a playset commissioned:
Average price is $710 x4 = $2840
5% off = $142
Shipping = $50 aprox, even more depending where you live.
Total amount saved by just using the offer = $200 (aprox)
This offer is obviously focused for those who can and want Terese Nielsen alterations. Obviously, if you can't afford it you won't benefit from it. Nevertheless, there's absolutely no need to criticize or use of sarcasm. This is better than nothing, and I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from this offer.
why does it cost 50 shipping? are you just multiplying how much she charges for shipping on ebay by 4?
(anyone remember when that's much she used to charge for a alter)
I paid $50 bucks for insured shipping last time I got something from her. I guess if you live in the US, it'll cost a bit less.
Maybe you can laugh about Dutch humor about Germans? (or are you dutch yourself since you can understand german a bit)Quote:

Another example is a joke sometimes told when a Dutch person meets a German: "Give me back my bike!", in reference to the German appropriation of Dutch bicycles for war purposes during occupation.
On the bright side, Germany has surpassed France as most popular holiday destination. Which is fair because I think the Germans are actually the nicest people in Europe. But it's true that Germans aren't that funny.
I remember a few years back I emailed Terese about alterations. She had, at the time, the policy of $40 per card. I was willing to pay that. She emailed me back and said the price jumped to $100 each. I wasn't willing to pay that. It's STAGGERING to me that that price has risen to almost 20x that original price point in the ensuing years.

Her recent work really takes a lot of effort, time (and paint) to finish. The demand for altered/signed Force of Wills has also risen more than 20x. Altered Fact or Fictions and Eternal Witness sell for no less than $300. I believe this is not the place to bargain and I hope it ends here. No one is forcing anyone to acquire one. There are people in this world who can afford an original Picasso or Da Vinci, while some can contend with reproductions. I hope people will grow up and just deal with the prices.Quote:

These are the right side pages, the left side pages are the non-foils which I all own (exept for any summer edition Goblins)
