Kind of interesting. image is so poor on my computer that I can't read the grade of the power.

Undergourd Sea not graded but at least the Sol Ring is.

Can someone with a better system tell me what the grades are? I can't figure them out at all.

Black Lotus - EX 5
Mox Emerald - EX/MT 6
Mox Jet - NM/MT 8
Mox Pearl - EX 5
Mox Ruby - EX/MT 6
Mox Sapphire - NM/MT 8
Ancestral Recall - NM 7
Time Walk - EX/MT 6
Timetwister - NM/MT 8
Demonic Tutor - NM/MT 8
Mana Vault - NM/MT 8
Time Vault - NM/MT 8
Sol Ring - NM 7

Not sure why it goes from EX - EX/MT - NM - NM/MT, instead of EX - EX/NM - NM - NM/MT

Is it just me of does it appear that all raw cards are CE and only graded are actual Alphas? Surprised to see this from D&A unless they put it up blindly for someone else without really seeing cards in hand first.

No, it s the sleeves that are black inside. It s all alpha.
It s a nice set for player that should sell 24 000 + i guess.

That makes sense... I thought those black borders looked a bit fat lol

Well they sure didn't win my confidence. I asked what the graded items were and they sent me two more pictures I couldn't see clearly enough, even in Photoshop ti couldn't make out the numbers.

Obviously not proud of the set enough to even have a list of hte grades available.....

Poor description content for sure. They should have listed the grades at the very least on any graded cards in the listing since they didn't take close enough photos of the cards.

The pictures section contains the graded cards with close-up pictures (using berkumps list):

21823092 Black Lotus - EX 5
21823090 Mox Emerald - EX/MT 6
21823091 Mox Jet - NM/MT 8
21823087 Mox Pearl - EX 5
21823088 Mox Ruby - EX/MT 6
21823089 Mox Sapphire - NM/MT 8
21823084 Ancestral Recall - NM 7
21823081 Time Walk - EX/MT 6
21823082 Timetwister - NM/MT 8
21823093 Demonic Tutor - NM/MT 8
21823094 Mana Vault - NM/MT 8
21823086 Time Vault - NM/MT 8
21823095 Sol Ring - NM 7

For sure, if you buy this set, you can t expect better than PSA 8.
All the cards look touched.
Only a few will get PSA 8 and not because of a fingernail
But it s a nice set for a player.
Or someone that dream of an alpha set but can t afford a graded one.
I would rather get this one than buy raw alpha cards on ebay because i think those cards are not fake / recolored /trimed and i don t think you can find much better raw alpha on ebay nowadays.
Well of course this set look like a good deal if it s between 20-30 k ...

Finally, it sold for $23,433.99 . i think it would have sell more without the taxe problems.
Poeple from Europe can t realy bid up ...

well, one small progress that the US customs people have made is allowing the country of mfg to be listed on the US customs form.

that should help out with VAT in cases like this.
