I though some of you thought this auction would be interesting. The card is not included with the Kird Apes and the seller won't tell me what it is or where they got it from. You'll know what card I am talking about when you look at the pic.

The old magic booster display boxes had pictures of the card backs instead of nice looking eye grabbing card art. The purple "card" is cut off of the top of an Arabian Nights booster box. The color relates back to the first plan WotC had to differentiate the expansion sets from each other by changing the color the backs. The plan, as you may guess, was to have Arabian Nights card backs be purple.

I figured it was cut out of an old Duelist or Inquest, but that makes more sense.

Looks to be the flap off an Arabians Booster box that was cut off the lid.
