Alpha Corners 4E Mishra's Factory, etc

Post by Volcanon » Mon Sep 18, 2006 12:47 am

Bunch of stuff I've come across.
Alpha-Corners 4E Mishra's Factory English
Chinese 4E BB Basics with fat tap arrow
Japanese cursed scroll japanese.
Japanese 5E Portent with red mana circle instead of blue http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m35598645
Random miscuts that show another card
Boosters with miscentred pictures. I opened one and there was a crimp inside. Is it possible that is how one knows if there is a crimp or not?

Just to add my .02c

Back when 4th came out, Neutral Ground was shipped a few cases of Alpha-Cut 4th edition starters and boosters. What had happened was that the printing plant had accidentally used the Alpha plates to cut several sheets of uncommons (mostly) and commons (much rarer, but they exist), and they were shipped in Starters (mostly) and Boosters (rarer). We receved several cases of each, and they were a hot item to draft at the time.

I've also heard reports of Texas receiving shipments of these alpha-cut 4th edition boosters/starters. In general, they carried a premium value at the time, but we didn't put too much value on them, since these are misprints that are easy to fake by cutting the corners of regular 4th edition cards.

(And, lest I be accused of not trying to hawk any goods, we do have about 30-40 alpha cut 4th uncommons in our rarities stock at SCG.com - PM or e-mail me (ben@starcitygames.com) if interested).

Hello, could you list your miscuts showing 2 cards?

Are any from English Ice Age?

I'm interested if you have a sealed pack with a crimp inside. I suspect you could feel the cards to detect a crimp before opening it.
