Scans are available in the listing. if you want bigger scans feel free to ask I can send them no problem..
As for Wire transfer, thats acceptable from library members, also.

Also for library mebers prior to the listing registered shipping is the same price as normal shipping.

Is it cut a bit larger or a bit smaller than a normal MTG card?

I think you did exceeding well on the disenchant considering what it is. It may be unique, at least very rare, and it is cool but it is not a test print in the way a magic rarities collector would define a test print. It was a test at the printer's level to check to see if the press was set up properly. It was not a test at the WofC level to test a new card format or foiling process. The reason it is unique is because it was printed on scrap. Someone got ahold of the scrap sheet and cut it by hand, ruining any historical value it may have had. All that is left is it's freak show value.

I think your are correct calling it a misprint is more precise then nominating it a test print. Anyway I think there is not more then a hand full of arround, and thus the price is more then realistic.

The price seemed to me very reasonable. I was surprised that some members disliked them because of the handmade cut.

How many did you buy originally ? 10 ? All different ?

Should I hand cut my Pokemon backed Magic sheet?

It was obviously an accident at the plant, although it went through the production process just like any regular sheet (it wasn't a registration or color match or any other kind of setup sheet for the printing process).

Best of all, the fronts and backs are in perfect alignment, so the cards would look like real, square-cornered cards. This would allow me to sell individual cards to the many collectors who want one of each kind of major misprint (or test print, or whatever you want to call it), and would probably allow me to maximize profit. I have a 120 cards, plus a filler. The highest credible offer I have received for the intact sheet is about the same as 15 Amstel Disenchants.

But it would definitely detract from the historical significance.
