I never did figure out what it was but decided to stash it away.

Well the ones you pictured are without doubt full of fakes, and not particularly good ones either.

I am pretty sure there were only 12 packs in them and not the advertised 14, you just can't trust criminals these days.

Anyone know if WotC ever tried to use some company in China to officially do cards?

Hi Gary

To my knowledge, only limited licensed rights, like for the JingHe Age Token Cards (S-Chinese) or more recently to fabricate the die for Fat Packs, etc...:

Makes me tempted to open this and see the card quality. According to Mark it is terrible.

Foils were a joke, but at last they tried!

Some scans of the fakes are here

Along with a list of the contents of some of the boosters.

I certainly wouldn't bother opening any :)

Point well taken. By the looks of the scans I think I'll just leave the cards in the package and leave it on my shelf.

Here's another pic of one of the foils (Honor Guard, 8E), picked it up randomly off ebay several years ago.

the backs look different sizes is that true of the card or is this just a picture issue?

According to an eBay listing berkumps came across...

English Language

12 Pack Booster Booster Box

Factory Sealed, 12 Packs containing 15 cards each (180 Cards Total)

This is a retail "c-store"12-Count box, not a 36 count box, Wizards produced these for retailers like convenient stores, gas stations, and grocery stores.
The boxes are still factory sealed and the packs have never been opened.
