From Magic Rarities Old Website From time to time, we at Magic Rarities like to play little tricks and make up fake cards. Sometimes they're obvious fakes; sometimes we'll try to pass them off as real (but letting everyone in on the joke in the end). After the hoax is played, they end up here for posterity's sake. Bob Flaminio / Victor G. Campbell was Bob's birthday card 2001 (created by Ralph Herold). Cats (Sega) / Victor G. Campbell was April Fools' 2001. The infamous Quenton Heever Proposal mockup originates from Bob Flaminio. Bob liked to honor the April fool's tradition, and on April the first, 2002, he created that card image and offered it on ebay as a real card, claiming he had traded the card from some guy in Japan. He set to reserve to $ 1,000,000 US to be sure nobody would be able to buy it. The typo of "Quenton" instead of "Quinton" and "Heever" instead of "Hoover" was intentional and part of the joke.
