Well, there isn't much use in having something cool if no one knows it. The popularity of this thread shows that.

It is easy to get sucked up in the "keeping up with the Jones". That is a sad thing if it drives you.

My collection is not near what some of you have but I am very happy to have what I have and am also happy to see and share, vicariously, the many wonderful collections and finds you all have. Keep them coming.

"Keeping up with the Jones" in this case means keeping up with collections easily worth $500k. I don't even ...
At least I got something today which makes me feel a little better ...

I also got something along the same lines recently that is pretty cool. Back is printed upside-down and severely miscut.

Forgot to post this a while ago. Nothing insane but some pretty nice stuff the English Legends box is sealed although it's really hard to see in the pic.

Sweet card Blood! I really really like those. Could you please tell me rarity, edition and language for something I am working on? Also it is foil, isn't it ?

I wonder why you did not pick it up. It was online forever iirc and with everyone going crazy price wise the price seemed really good. Thanks anyway!

I also got this ... apparently those particular ones are worth $200 each :-D

I am not into unique misprints, just into regular ones :)

Looks like it is Unstoppable Ash and might come from the morningtide preconstructed deck "Warrior's Code". Which would result in a complete deck printed like this.

You are correct in that it is an Unstoppable Ash in English from Morningtide.

Well nothing as grandious as some but very meaningful to me. Small in value but very large in feeling. I asked Doug to do them at the GP Denver and just got them in the mail today.

This is done in a spirit of reverence and humility and I would hope that it doesn't offend anyone.

Don't ask me about the faces because I don't know yet. I had thought of the idea some time back but didn't know if I'd ever have the time and place happen but it did and here they are. They are on the backs of the three beta mountain APs.

Some stuff I picked up. Didn't have time to scan some of the other nice stuff, but this should suffice.

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

1 + 3 = Round bordered textless Duress
2 = Summer Mana Vault
4 + 6 = Summer Balance
5 = BGS 9.5 Summer Tundra
7 = Test Print 5D Beacon of Creation
8 = Test Print 5D Vedalken Shackles
9 = Test Print 5D Staff of Domination

The Duresses and 5D stuff are foil.

Some Jud test prints. I will post a bunch more in the future.

Finally, I DON'T think these have been seen anywhere else, so I kept them for last.

I think the last three were previously posted in this thread or at least on this board someplace.
