The Magic Librarities

Cool, I wouldn't buy it but it's an interesting topic.. I don't have an image hosting thing.. Do I sign up? I can just send you scans of what I mean about Fischer. PM me your email. Those prices are really high but I think the Enchantress is the best piece of Alpha art. If I didn't collect art I'd b...

Randy Asplund had a few that were "touched up". Those were easy peasy though considered this. The more I think about it the more I'm sure... I didn't have the internet then... Not sure what other publications covered MTG back then that I could have read. I would have been in Germany then. I could be...

"How radically different? Do you have scans?" Yes I do, I'l get those up in a bit if anyone's interested.. It's cool cause they all came with the instructions on the back, like the descriptions of what WOTC wanted the card to look like. Sorry bout all the rapidfire posts... Original art is "my thing...

Honestly, I remember reading an article bout this card.. Maybe a really realy old Inquest? I say it's the same artwork "modified" somehow.

If it was redone though it would likely have been the "pg" version that we'd see for sale

They were still kinda small in the art department when that Ice Age art was selected... Could always ask the artist... I don't know NeNe, if anybody has coresponed with her they could ask;-)

I have some Scott Fischer stuff that's "radically" different than the cards. I dunno if they had any programs to alter stuff when Ice Age came out. I'd bet it's the same piece though.

I always thought the Guru symbol looked like the profile of an old artillery
cannon.

Dervish was a beating in its day. They could do worse.

That's not even close to a good fake.
Looks like he screwed up that side and kept trying to correct it and it got worse and worse...

Thanks! Really odd I never noticed this. Now I feel bad about putting that guy through any troubles...

Good question! I bought 2 of them at Frank and Son's from a very reputable dealer and they were missing the white corners as well. I decided to return them cause I was a little worried. We did the tests and compared them with other Beta cards... Then asked the other dealers. Everything looked good b...

I was kinda hoping those "Pro" cards got timeshifted to the future after I'm dead...

Very "slim to none" chance, IMO.

The WorldCon is happening near here this week (Anaheim) and it looks like they have some MTG artists going. I'm hoping to get some original art from the Foglio's! Anyways, if you live around here it might be a fun Con to check out. Ps: Anaheim has some kind of inferiority complex on a massive City w...
