according to Crystal Keep, 23 cards have changes, and 7 cards were added.

And yes, I've seen many cards changed from Beta to Alpha to get rid of corner damage back in the mid 90's, and sold to dealers as "Alpha.'

Yes, you're correct. There are much more crude versions, and those have a circle instead of a letter. A marker fills in these circles with the appropriate color. Sadly, every single card WOTC has shown off on their website is only this final version. I really wish they would share more of the cards ...

I'm not sure I follow your question. Want to elaborate? My first thought is that you are talking about earlier versions (they have circles up top, and crude or no art). Please explain, I'd be glad to help.

Alpha playtest uncut sheets

I thought it would be cool to share what an uncut sheet of Alpha playtest cards look like, so here you go. This is the third & final version (AKA Gamma printing). Most cards exist, it's just that I have to be wary of fakes hitting the market, so this is the only one I'll show publicly. Track me down...

Thank you Alexis. I have found a few- Incredible Hulk, Calvin & Hobbes, and D&D on just the blue cards alone.

Want me to keep you all hanging? There are gold/ multicolored cards in Alpha playtest. I'll elaborate shortly!

I'll do an easy one today- lands.

Dual lands do not exist, almost posative. Although I do own an early version of Plains that is accidentally marked red.

All 5 basics exist with three art choices. Plains have airplanes, Islands have maps of island countries.

Yea, I'm sure I will. In addition to having access to the uncut sheets, I've recently picked up about 200 playtest cards. I'm trying like hell to get enough to do an 8 man draft.

Done Alexis... I knew a little there... I may have overlooked others so if you have questions let me know. It's been a while since I've been on here. Okay, on to WHITE GAMMA CARDS. Pretty sure this is all of them. I apologise they're not in order on the sheets and I didn't alphabatise them- Animate ...

Hi, yes Brian, myself, and another forum member Bradley (I think he is bradleyxace or something on here) bought these from a WOTC employee who no longer works there. He said these were press checks. I've been told the Chris Rush cards with identical fronts are artist proofs. I cannot confirm this bu...

I have access to nearly every single Gamma version card now, and can tell you what exists. I was given access to Richard Garfield's original uncut sheets and took pictures (don't ask how...) I'm a slow typer, so I'll break this up. Here is, I'm almost posative, every GREEN card in the Gamma/ final f...
