ZOMG SCANXORZ ~ Alternat art "Sword of Kaldera" fr
SCAN LINK ON PAGE 3
So today my friend found a pack, after he somehow managed to drive over it... it was Mirroden, so he gave it to me. What an *******. Anyway, he figured it was neat, because all of the cards were folded over together, and as it was Mirroden there really was no reason to open it. It tore open in my bag on the way home. (It was already almost there so it didn't take much.) So I had a look through the cards...
The rare was a foil Sword of Kaldra... I didn't really pay it any mind.
About half an hour later I got to thinking about the art... I'm not one to keep track of crap, but thinking back I was almost sure that the art was from the PR version, it is.
So was there an alternate art foil sword available in packs or is this actually something worth this post?
Sorry for the bad quality pic.

I am interested in getting rid of it. I made a thread with a short list of haves and wants...
Incidently I'll try to get a better scan at work next time I'm there, I wasn't thinking about it today and wouldn't have had time, we were running behind on eBay so we were doing that...
Why would I make up a story? For a few laughs? I'm not a freshman in highschool... I'm the head of the Foil/Signed/Oddity department at a Wizards Premire Store... ;P
Don't get me wrong, I hate forums and the trolls as well... but you know.
www.eudemonia.net - I'm not one of them.
EDIT: No stamp at all, not just ink missing.

That's fair, but that doesn't stop people going on about what set their filler cards are from... Which incidently, is even more arbitraty.squt wrote:Problem is, there's no way to prove that what you have was pulled from a pack or received at a pre-release. Whoever buys it will have the same problem, so it can't ever be worth more than any other one without a pre-release stamp. Much less, actually, if you ran over it with a car.

Even if I got it from the Pre Release, why would I go and make up a story about it? It's still the only known dateless Sword, rather then a card plentiful enough to find in online stores.
I wasn't playing magic from MM to 5D or so... I wasn't at the Pre Release.

That's fine to say, but there's no way any owner of that card can prove that. If I were in the market for such a card, I wouldn't value it any higher than any other pre-release card without a stamp.
It's a nice story, and certainly stranger things have happened, but I don't know that the origin of this sort of thing makes it worth more. Others on this forum might disagree.

Definite willingness to sell (not just asking for information).Archivist wrote:New forum member.
Completely unheard of item.
Unusual story.
Unbelievably crappy pic.
Replying to oneself hours later to "up" the thread.
Spamming link to online sales site.
Setting a price-point.
Hyping supposed rarity.
And who's ever heard of someone being "head of the Foil/Signed/Oddity department " anyway?

Do you need help getting that sand out of your vagina, or can you manage alone? If someone wants to buy it, as im new here and I'm sure the other person will have many more refferances of reliability, I'll have no problem sending the card first... and if theres a date on it... you can just send it back and not pay me.Archivist wrote:Definite willingness to sell (not just asking for information).Archivist wrote:New forum member.

Definit willingness to sell? thats because I PLAY magic, and cards I can play with are strictly better then shiny ones that sit in my binder... replying to myself to up the thread? sorry bucko, I'm pretty sure there were NO posts made in this forum between my first and second posts... bumbing from #1 to #1 seems something not worth doing to me... :/
I think theres a difference between mentioning where I work in an effort to solidify my existance and spamming... ZOMG SHOP HEREZZZDFMSLIHGFL douche face.
Setting a price point? Lets go look at HALF of the threads in this section and point out that you're an ass bag. :D
I'm simply expressing that I feel this card is harder to find... that's like last week when someone got all pissy when I wouldn't trade a foil Land Grant for a foil Congregation at Dawn, "Eeeeh but yours is only common, mines uncommon!" He had an excuse tho, are you 12?
edit: I mentioned getting a better image:
I'll get a SCAN this weekend, how many DPI would make you guys happy. :P
