Truely rare stuff, like Asian Foils, and Beta Blue Duals are scarce, and tend to be what really impress me.  Beta Duals and Asian Foils actually require a fair amount of searching out to find, and are what catch my eye when I look through a trade binder.

Is this why you guys kept after my Japanese foil Deep Analyses?  Razz

For instance, tomorrow at SCG Chicago compare the number of pieces of Power floating around to the number of Beta Duals, and I think that one would find far more Power circulating around than Beta Duals.  Not to mention many more Black lotus than Foil Asian Goblin Welders.  That is just one man's opinion, but collecting Power does not impress me much anymore.

I saw more Beta duals than I saw Beta power, but that's because I happened to walk past one of your games.  And foil Asian Welders?  Well, counted zero there.
There's a reason for this though - there are less players collecting power than there are players going for 50 playsets of foil Goblin Welders.  And even then, there's very few people who do.
I, for one, would sell that shit.  The cash would interest me far more, and I'd be making someone happy (c'mon, who wouldn't be happy to get some of that stuff for some money?  Hell, money's still in print).

Most of the people I know don't collect a certain card because of it's value.  For instance, one of my friends has a few pages, front and back, of foil Shepherd of Rots, and if you think about the flavor of the card, you could understand why.  Then there's the guy with like, 300 Clones.

I will break into your house while you aren't home and disguise myself as a chair. Then I will leave before you get home, but there will be a place at your table where I was a chair and you will wonder why there isn't a chair there. Then later I will leave the chair disguise on your doorstep and you will realize what has happened and you will be afraid all the time. Helter Skelter mother fuckers!

yeah, that is why i was after your asian foil stuff!

I picked up foil asian gifts ungiven, foil asian draksteel colossos, foil asian brainstorm, and dubs foil asian ak at SCG Chicago after you guys left.  Those were a few spicy meatballs.  I still need you to find me a foil asian welder!

cheers,

I collect all MtG cards with a picture from Rob Alexander.
I've completed almost all the old ones, but I'm still missing some primers obviously Sad

So if you come across some good Rob Alexander cards, just PM me and perhaps we could work something out.

I'll post what I'm missing as soon as I get my list updated. (I traded about 50 new ones last week).

Yours,
RichardD.

How about a Yawgmoth's Will signed in gold with a mohawk drawn (again in gold) on the head of the thing in the picture?
I had lost it in a best friend's ex-girlfriend's house about a year ago, and it was returned to me yesterday - happy day.

I was for a time thinking of collecting Yawgmoth cards since I had 3 or so Will and 2-3 Bargain, but I have since moved on to other better obsessions.  Like Obstinate Familiars.  I have a page of them in my binder including SC, Foil, and regular ones.  Nobody really ever has Obstinate familiars though (if anyone here does, I'll buy them for 50 cents each), so I started collecting Icy Manipulators.  I have an A, a signed A, 5 foil deckmasters, 4 ice age, a few mirrodin, and some 9th ones.  I don't know why, but I just kinda like that guy.
