are they one of a kind?
Extremely unlikely. The better question is how many made it out of WOTC/Carta Mundi.
If they print these up they're going to produce quite a few sheets. It's not cost effective to just make one or some low # unless you're specifically making a "rarity" (like the Garfield announcement cards or something like a rare prize card).
The cost of printing 1 sheet of these things or 50-100 sheets requires the same press time and set-up time and everything else. The cost of the paper is the least issue if you print something not in bulk.
There's absolutely 0 reason to only print a few of these cause WOTC could easily say they want more examples of something and then the printer/s have to do more work- press crews don't like to do more work... so you make more than you need by a good margin and when it's stuff like "examples" you print up extras versus some limited supply.
There's absolutely 0 reason WOTC would make "test prints" a manufactured rarity as they're never intended to go into booster packs.
The question really is how many people were going to make this decision about the new look of the cards and I'd imagine nearly everybody at WOTC was asked for input.
I think it's extremely wishful thinking that this type of thing could be a "one-of" item or even ultra rare. It could very well be that, for now, in the hands of "collectors" but if they command $$$ I'd imagine more would turn up. Possibly a lot more. This is logical imo-

So for those who have seen these close up, are they done using same official printers/ink process? These aren't the same test prints that are stock art glued to lands. I'm always looking for something that just turns peoples heads in my collection (at one point that was 2HG Niv-Mizzet, Russian Release Shivan, and my Wal Mart Broodmates, alas not that much any more).random wrote:are they one of a kind?

It's not your day is it!
I would take them both back and demand a refund!
Did you buy the miswrapped deck on purpose or was it a lucky find?
Any chance it has been tampered with, not that there is any reason to do so?
I have some old sealed starters which have popped open, guess they weren't sealed too well to begin with.
