Ralph had 'em on this site for a while (in fact, i beleive that that's where AXIOS got them from), but took them down because 1) the quality wasn't up to par and 2) because someone who had access to large amounts of them said they'd provide scans.  unfortunately, with more than a year having passed since that time (atleast i think it's been more than a year), my bet is that they'll never see the light of day :(

personally, i think they ought to be considered fair game for mockups, since, like the schijuwhatever dragon, they're unique (ie. afaik, there's only one city of traitors +3, white text box, shooting star), and since, as i said earlier, i don't believe we're likely to get scans of 'em.

ultimately, it's ralphs decission.

flatmatt: Done.

The reason why I have not returned the cards is threefold:

1. The scans look bad and are really substandard.

2. Given the inability to ask the owner of these cards very specific questions, I can not safely categorize the cards.

3. The actual categorization of the test print cards is still flawed. I will have to fix it before adding any images.

I know how to fix issue #3, but this will take some time, as I will have to talk with different people, some of which do not have much time. Issue #2 will become less of a problem then. Issue #1 remains unfixed, however I have a few scans I will upload once issue #3 will be solved.

Well, I guess I am credited on the site because I have provided Ralph with a few hundred of booster scans, because joint investigations with other members have led to clarifying a few issues and also because I may have contributed a bit to the handover of the site from Bob to Ralph (don't know whether my discussions at this time have had any positive of destrcutive impact, but, hey, as Terra mentioned, I was at the right place at the right time...).

Oh, yeah, and I was already credited on Bob's site, don't know why, maybe because we met in Paris once :)

Regards,
Eric.
Please help me finish my Boosters collection

Getting cards before Alexis is not hard to do (ie. Japanese Dakmor Sorceress).

I am listed for providing scans as well.  Though as it's been called not too earth-shattering, obtaining high quality scans of some things isn't easy.  Lately I have been re-scanning some foils for Ralph as the scanner I have access to reacts dfferently to the foil layer.

Being in the credits of this site is an accomplishment, as we are a great resource to alot of people.  And as we have heard we can't all get to scan the same thing.  It does almost seem like a race some months to obtain quality scans of promos.
