Yeah, GenCon was the best place for getting autos back in the day. I attended from 1995 -2003 and as others said, literally everyone was there. I even ran into Richard Garfield in a crosswalk on my way to get lunch (I was walking so no harm, lol).
In '96 I sat down and talked with Menges for over an hour - he had all kinds of great info about the early days of MtG. Lots of behind the scenes stuff involving the game and the artists... very cool. This year at Spectrum I rehashed much of that info with Rob Alexander - good times, for sure.
Take it easy,

Ray Thiel (1964-2007) - the man who showed me more wonderful games & gaming sessions than I ever dreamed possible... you ran out of hit points too young, my friend.
didnt really need those, but the price was great, so i picked them up. among them also an unlimited mox emerald.
i didnt do scans by myself for these, just cut the two scans of the previous owners together, thatīs why the card sizes are different ;-)
i will not keep them forever, the sapphire will hold itīs place until i find a nice alpha sapphire, since i sold my beta, got too bored of it -.-
Just in time for my Birthday (hurray :'( ) I got some VERY nice cards :-D ...
Let's start with some nice sigs before getting in into the REALLY good stuff...
...and then I finally managed to finished some Beta playsets...
...last but certainly not least I got these....The Ice Age cards are the last 4 missing...Yes, my 7th signed set is finally complete. Ice Age with 383 the largest non base set expansion was BRUTAL...and I only miss 1 signed card to have Revised finished as well (Roc of Kher Ridges...WHERE ARE YOU!!!)

I started when ice age was released and this set is so iconic, I love all the pictures. Great looking set.

I have not posted here before, but i have picked up a lot of new foils for my Bomberman deck, and have gotten all of the Beta basic lands signed. Everything that can be foiled has been except for the Onlsaught fetches and Jaces. I will not use judge foils so the Flusterstorm is going to remain non-foil. I managed to trade for the 2 foil tops, the 3 foil Spell Snares, and the second foil EE at GenCon this year.
All English except for the German FBB Swords to Plowshares. I am still looking for 2 more or eventually Beta them out.
Something needs to be done about the Tundras though.
Sorry for the bad picture. I really need a scanner.
