"All these decks are all rares and I still don't have a Sorceress Queen" EPIC :-D Real cool Mark, you need to go through the decks again, as you skip some IP2 cards, Ironclaw Orcs, etc...I was in front of computer, going "Mark is so excited about those God Starters" that he forgot the main purpose of opening :-D Let me know, if you spot any differences between 4th Edition Italian and IP2 Italian. That was fun, congrats for your find.

I noticed you didn't open a Northern Paladin, either!

glad you got all those rares... probably karma for being willing to open and break up the IT I2P. :)

Posting pictues is a real challenge at first but don't give up.

I notice lighting is giving you the same problem it gave me. I ended up using a tripod in a room with no direct artificial light and no flash--just window light away from the table. The tripod allowed the camera to stay still long enough to get the picture.

Just play around with it, you'll find a combo that works for your location.

Great cards to say the least. Congratulations.

Ya, Alexis, After about the third time he said, "I wonder why only one of these is like that" I started thinking how ironic it would be if the next one he opened would be all lands........

Thanks much for the video Mark. I was probably 'almost' as excited about the opening as you were..... That was really cool.

Very nice cards!

If you're ever in the market for a scanner, and want to scan your graded cards, try to get one that functions by CCD (charge-coupled device), and not CIS (contact image sensor). I bought an Epson Perfection V550 for this purpose (aswell as scanning packs/decks), and it works beautifully.

Great opening, also interesting to see how many different packing errors in this set occured.

When you will be scanning, it would be nice to make some scans of the non lowercase i basic lands for the FWB-4th comparison post.

I was finally able to watch the videos, and it was really fun to see you open up so many rares. My son was amazed. I don't think that he's ever heard of god packs before. "Look! He's opened multiple Sylvan Libraries in that deck! And Mana Vaults and Shivans!"

Thanks for sharing.

That store I bought the Italian 4th Edition decks from found 3 more loose decks! Were they from the same box as the 7 loose ones I purchased previously?

The good news is, I have 2 booster boxes of Italian 4th edition coming in, so I should hopefully get at least one of those 2 cards out of that. Hopefully the boosters aren't "pauper" boosters like my japanese 4th wb ones.

From the 20 starter decks I opened so far, the rares outnumber the uncommons 190 to 180!

Are you going for a complete 4Th Edition WB Italian Set ?
