Hi

WAOW, this is not an Exodus Uncut sheet , there's No Pygmy Hippo in Exodus, it looks to me that it's an Uncut Sheet of Exodus Test Prints , can you confirm that the cards are Foil? Is that yours? Value, no idea, first time I ever see one if it's the real thing :-O

Hi

Can you provide a close up of the Cards to determined from Which Exodus Test Prints Series, they belong to (There's 4), if you don't mind answering where did you get this, the more info, you can give, the better it will be to try to find out a value and if it's legit. It looks like this is:

*EXODUS TEST PRINTS CARDS BLACK BORDER WITHOUT STAR SECOND SERIES*

3 variations of foil layer exist:

- Foil layer over entire card
- Picture and textbox without foil layer
- Textbox without foil layer

Inside the 3 variations, different grades of brightness exist.

The original symbol is on the cards:

Oath of Lieges - Exodus - gold Symbol
Mana Breach - Exodus - silver Symbol
Plaguebearer - Exodus - gold Symbol
Figthing Chance - Exodus - gold Symbol
Survival of the Fittest - Exodus - gold Symbol
Memory Crystal - Exodus - gold Symbol
City of Traitors - Exodus - gold Symbol
Pygmy Hippo - Vision - "V" Symbol

With the exception of:

Pygmy Hippo - Vision - without Symbol

All the cards with Symbol (Exodus and Vision) exist:
- 1 and 1

With the exception of:

Pygmy Hippo - Vision - without Symbol:
- 1 and + 1

Have a look at my previous post, if this is Legit, this is a very Unique Foil Test Print Exodus Uncut Sheet, and a lot of money might be involved, cutting it will ruin the value in my opinion, but better scans are needed, more info of where this was aquired is necessary, etc....

Thanks Alexis. I haven't seen anything like this before with a white back. Apparently it came from a high up at wizards. Working on getting more pics of this. I'm thinking big dollars on this. Like $100K big

Before anything, let's make sure it's legit, I can't talk about Value, as I never saw any of these with Normal Back or White Backs, but on my part, I would love to add good scans of it in The Exodus Test Print section of course once that it has been verified as Legit. A high up at WOTC or Ex High up seems logical to me, but we know also with experience that it can be a Stolen property, it won't be the first time. So baby steps on that case and a great find at any rate if it's "The Real Thing".

I saw a different picture of an exodus test print uncut sheet on the homepage of a website recently. Wish I could remember where I saw it. It was a website designed to sell cards, but didn't have anything in stock.

Hi Tav

If you can retrieve that info, that will be great, cause till now, I never saw an Uncut foil Exodus Test Print sheet, so now 2 in a row :-O Funny to see that for years, it was a nowhere to be find, and that within a year, they are floading everywhere, maybe the Misprints and Rarities Hype, and the skyrocketing prices of so many of them, the sad part, The Bay is crowded of handcut Revised cards, etc...But money talks and few cares about valuable historical MTG products.

There were at least two of these sheets sold. They were sold through ebay member "the_charizard_authority", the same user that I bought those uncut Kitsune Healer printing tests from. This ebay member was selling a number of items from a WotC employee (did not mention whether this employee was a former one, or still there).

The two sheets were sold offline, in person. Here is some ebay dialogue between me and the seller.

When I noticed the items he was selling, I asked about other cool items he may have:

Here are some additional photos of the sheets

It should be mentioned that both sheets had creases in them, which will obviously affect their value as an uncut sheet, but I would imagine these sheets will ultimately end up cut considering the potential value. If this does happen, I just hope they are cut professionally, and not half-assed like those revised sheets that are polluting the misprint market!

Yes, even the person that bought them for $4k, did not make nearly as much as they could have, but they were looking for a quick flip.

How comes, I didn't saw those, I spot the Kitsune Healer as soon as they went online, but was not interested in the 2 offered, but more and more, some auctions on Ebay, are prohibited to me for whatever reason, and I can't even see pics there but could see them on Google images, I miss the Old Ebay, it was so much easier....
