It would seem that the picture types are mixed within the CM printing though.

French and Spanish of one type

German Italian Japanese and Portuguese with a different one.

Do you remember which kind of pack which printing came out of for the US?

This is my first Mail Brag, so I thought I would start out small.

Got both these in the mail recently to finally complete my Japanese Colosseo Promo set. The funny thing is, finishing this set has been easier than several other promo sets I'm still working on.

Thanks! As you know you played a large part in helping me complete it.
Now I'm going to have to figure out how to find the last four RPG magazine inserts.

The Sandbar Crocodile is the easy one to find, the other four have been more difficult.

Well this is one of the greatest brags ever. Not because I did anything but because a board member remembered this old man and what he is fond of.

Things have been really hectic for me the last few months and I have been tied down with family and health matters that have kept me from doing my Magic thing.

I was discouraged that I missed the Theros pre release and would never be able to find the stuff I cherish--all that stuff that people just throw away.

Here in the mail, this came. I had to sit down and take a deep breath. The stuff I really want and here it is.

The FTV-20 had gone to my list of, "Hope I can find one when things get a little better at the bank" and this one came at less than MSRP. A kindness I can hardly repay but I will not forget

I just returned from Eternal Weekend. No good standings, but got many autographs.

"Look at Me, I'm R&D" has no art, so it has no artist.

Artist is listed as "none" in gatherer (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/ ... seid=74360)

Each unhinged card has a word printed at the bottom to spell out a secret message across the set when you look at all the cards in reverse alphabetical order. "spork" is that kind of word here, rather than the card artist.

Although - that does lead to the question of who autographed that card here.

The signature on the card in black pen on the left hand side is Jeff Menges. The person probably got him to autograph it since he painted Moat.
