I am currently pimping out a Lands.dec and would like to know what people thing about the new Maze of Ith? I personally love how the old one almost looks gray but the new one is shiny.
So which would be more pimp? I know the new one cost more but that isn't everything. Personally I am leaning toward the old one but I believe the absolute most pimp would be the old one with Anson Maddoks signature as it is freaking impossible to find.
I collect German and miscut cards. Please PM if you have.
Signed Italian ones IMO. Almost impossible to find.Originally Posted by UrDraco
On the topic of summer nobody knows for sure how many of each rare exist, but there are 2 complete sets and an unopened box. Most people will say somewhere between 8-15 of each rare. I personally think it is on the higher end, but I could be wrong.
As stated, at least 2 complete sets exist. As for how many exist, no one really knows, but estimates are 10 cases of leaked product, plus when summer cards were dumped into the trash, wizards employees were allowed to grab stuff. Which means the numbers for high-end summer cards (at the time that would mean cards like Shivan, Vesuvan, Gaea's Liege, Tutor, duals etc) and weird looking cards like the Efreet and the Hurricane probably exist in inflated numbers. My guess is between 12-18 of each rare. Probably at the higher end. Uncommon figures are a bit tougher due to basics. I did calculations on that before, and if I can find them I'll post them.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Finally some interesting mail arrived today. Got a bunch of korean cards too, but I will save those for another day.
Edit: Who am I kidding. I'm pretty excited I finally found a korean argivian restoration. Only a couple of cards missing for my highlander deck now. It also looks like I have a few too many wastelands. Still waiting on more in the mail, heh.

How much do you have to pay to get a playset of those?
Team Legal Actions.
I spent 70$ each.
Andrew77: First of all those are really beautiful cards which I´m very jealous of!
But what I´m always asking myself is : Are you a trader or did you just scooped to life and decided to have the most beautiful card collection on earth?^^
If nor is the reason, tell me how you got that job ;)

I wouldn't really call myself a trader as I am too lazy and don't keep up with type 2 trends as it is a crappy format. Most people don't even have cards worth trading for. If I do trade it is usually for things that people value poorly like korean singles, and legacy staples. I got 5 or 6 entombs for $3 each after it was unbanned just because people don't keep up with the banned list. Same with dream halls, although I didn't come across any show and tells.
Usually what I do is flip cards. I get a good deal on ebay once in a while, but most often I will just have people coming to me looking for cards. If their prices are worth it I make a few calls and buy the card to resell it to them. Last week for example I flipped some beta duals and was left with a "free" beta volcanic island. I also buy cards for investment purposes. I bought 5 tabernacles in september/october for $100 each after testing 43 lands and being very impressed with the deck.
Hehe, thanks for the duals, bro
Your welcome. Hope you enjoy them. That whole sale list was actually really good for me as I got like 10 people asking me for duals and such. Sold 5 other duals besides the ones you bought and still have people who want underground sea's and tundra's. Too bad I passed up a set of beta tundra's for $750 a few weeks ago. I also passed up some $350 nm- sea's cause they weren't alphaHehe, thanks for the duals, bro
I really dislike buying cards that I don't want if I don't have a buyer lined up.
Anyway, here are some pics of some jap foils. Nothing too impressive, but still cards that are needed for highlander and what not.
I have my ichorid deck completely foil and I want to try to upgrade it to Japanese foil but I have noticed the price of Japanese foil to be ridiculously high.
For example a foil Iona is 20 dollars foil Japanese Iona is around 110.. Now is their a way to get these cards anymore affordable?
I mean if i go to Japan what are the prices for these cards?
Just man up. I did.
Yeah, that's basically because of comments like this:
That kind of groupthink of what is ultimate pimp makes prices nuts.
This. Especially since, like Bryant with TES, you seem to be an Ichorid only player. If you are pretty secure in playing only one deck, then just go for it. Or, go for something different like Russian (were they even printing Russian at that time?)/Spanish/Italian/etc. ;)
Who says the Internet isn't full of <3?
Yes, but with everything in the deck $50+ i would like to find better prices.
That is not the case. The only cards that would be close to or more than $50 are iona, ichorid, leylines, saviors pithing needle's, unmask, and 7th cities. Therapy, study, breakthrough, dreturns, narcomoeba, dredgers, etc are all quite cheap. Also, if you decide to go for 8th cities and m10 needle's that would also save a lot of money.
How much are foil Japanese unmasks anyway?
I´ve seen this for 60 euros on the internet.
However I believe that´s a rob. I was offering mine for fifty five dollars. As no one here was interested on buying it I finally trade it to a friend for a Mana Crypt and other goodies...
If it was cheap or easy to get, it wouldn't be pimp now, would it? The entire point of having a pimp deck is showing off how rich (and crazy) you are. If you can't afford it, you're not rich enough. Or crazy enough.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.

That is exactly the kind of things I don't like to hear or read. This is ridiculous, and you're not better than rap superstars that spend all their money into jewelry just to show the world how "good" (understand pathetic) they are.
Pimp is not about your penis, it's about art and personal preferences.
Why call it 'pimp' then? A more appropriate term for your definition would be 'personalized deck'. Ofcourse is pimp about your penis, and bragging about it here is for your epeen. And The_Gunslinga, Occam and andrew77 are hung like an elephant.
