Global Projects - overall 91.38% complete!

Post by Alien_Starfighter_Pilot » Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:15 pm

All,

I'm going for several global card collections. The themes are:

Benson: Cards with art provided by Melissa (A.) Benson
Celestial: Selected cards with celestial art
Clay: Cards with the word "Clay" in them
Emblems: Planeswalker Emblems
Navy: Cards with a Navy theme (pirates, ships, etc)
Paladins: Creatures with "Paladin" in the card name and/or Paladin creature type
Phoenix: Phoenix creature type
Pocket Dragon: Matt Cavotta Flash Counter & Inspiration cards
Siren: Siren creature type (plus Seasinger and 9th edition Fishliver Oil)
Sphinx: Sphinx creature type

I only want NM+/Mint copies. I am not interested in misprints, miscuts, crimped, or any other of the various blemishes that sometimes happen to MTG cards.

To follow my progress, view my Global Collections

Also, here are some Magic Arcana articles as they pertain to my global collections

Master of Predicaments

Isperia

Primal Clay

Sphinxes

Crown of Convergence Wallpaper

Time Reversal Wallpaper

Sharuum the Hegemon Wallpaper

Sphinx Sovereign

I know I have an Alt 4th Shivan and I probably have an extra 9th Ed Angel of Mercy. I'll have to check conditions for you.

I may also have some of your Foreign 4th needs as well.
BGS 9+ Alpha set 282/295 (97.29%) Avg 9.41
BGS 9.5+ Beta set 283/302 (93.71%) Avg 9.58
BGS 9.5+ Arabian set 35/92 (38.04%) Avg 9.62
BGS 9.5+ Antiquities set 82/100 (82%) Avg 9.64
BGS 9.5+ Legends set 279/310 (90.00%) Avg 9.61

Clay,
Is the pending Korean 4th Lord of Atlantis from me? I may also have Holy Armor and Mesa Pegasus. I will check now as I have yet to send out the LoA. (Lazy and broke - sorry).

John

Edit: Yes Clay I have all 3 pack fresh Mint. You can chop those off your list from Korean 4th.
squt: Sweet! That's the best trade - one that doesn't cost a thing.

Well, that means I can take the Pegasus out of the cards I was sending him.

John, Yes, Gary, NO! :-P

Magic, I definitely would like to get the Alt. 4th Shivan from you, I hope I can find the rest of the Alt. 4th cards on my list. I also look forward to getting a PM from you with a list of all the other cards you have that I'm looking for.

I'll be posting the updated want list once I figure out if I got a Portuguese or Spanish Balduvian Hydra (they both have the same name) in the mail today.

Updated Want list. Had received the Spanish Balduvian Hydra, as promised by the seller.

Also, got almost all of my German wants from trader-online.de (Thanks!).

a seller recently quoted me $50 for a 5th Edition Simplified Chinese Shivan Dragon.

Is this card really worth that much?

was simplified 5th a relatively limited print run?

Simplified 5th was an extremely limited run, however $50 is more than I would expect to pay for a junk rare whose english equivalent only sells for $1.

that's what I was thinking.

but it's so sad that the Shivan Dragon is considered a "junk" rare by others. :'-( not so in my heart.

Updated Want list - Thank you Gary and John for the Korean cards!!! Also, thank you Tony for the wonderful French Estark!

Also, crossed off a lot of Japanese wants from a seller (Tingxuan on eBay). Cards were received in promised condition except for a Vodalian Soldier, which a replacement has been promised free. And as he will likely list soon another card I want, I should get the replacement (and new wanted goodie) soon.

I'm at 43.82% on this collection already! And I expect to receive most of the pending wants in the mail as early as tomorrow, so hoping to make another big update later this week! :)

Magic, still have that alt. 4th Shivan? I'm still interested! :)

i have a nm beta nightmare. just pm me for price discussion.

regarding the chinese shivan, i think its way to high.
50$ are reasonable to me for 5th ed. korean.

maybe you ask richard what he payed for his one.
