The Magic Librarities

Equipped with my full set of Italian FWB from booster packs, I knew that I could proceed to solve this mystery by acquiring cards from Italian FWB starter decks for comparison. Some time back, Open Boosters was opening Italian FWB starter decks on his YouTube channel. When I was visiting him at his ...

UPDATE:

Broken image links fixed, and a few more pictures added.

I'm glad that people still find it useful.
Fixing the images is definitely on my "to do" list.
In the meantime, the text portion still functions perfectly. I'm glad that I included both.

If I'm reading this correctly Anson appeared to have listed living wall as stolen artwork back in 2004. https://ansonmaddocks.com/blogs/news/stolen-artwork-list-statement-and-offer So sounds like it was stolen, years later (like 10) put up on ebay, then maybe Len got in touch with Anson and worked ...

I agree with Bernd.

I didn't know you were still looking for proofs though, I thought you'd completed everything.
I think you know where all the M12 proofs are don't you? I seem to recall that one person had all of them, and it was difficult to get the one you have.

Hm, interesting that they are all made in the same place then.

All made in the USA doesn't mean that they were all made in the same place.
There are multiple print facilities in the USA for Magic cards.

It seems like a coating difference to me.
To see the cardstock, you'd need to look at the thin edge of the card where it's cut after the coating is applied.

I suspect that mapping Visions would be difficult because of how many different sheet layouts there are.
The collation is very strange on that set, with half of the rare sheet being 7 copies of 7 different commons, combined with the existence of different sheet layouts.

printed with a stochastic method similar to Alt 4th. This is what you're referring to? http://printwiki.org/Stochastic_Screening Enlighten us noobs. Yes, that's a good description of it. Here's a picture. They're quite different visually. https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/3f26/ctgg37j62uot36g6g.jpg

Thanks for posting this info here Alexis.

It may also be worth mentioning that some of the Masterpiece cards might have been printed with a stochastic method similar to Alt 4th.

I just fixed my broken image links in this thread (again). I can't see the uncut sheet pics anywhere in this thread, so here they are again. Remember that this sheet is missing one column of cards, so it's not a whole sheet, but it's what we have a picture of (and it's awesome!). https://www.mediafi...

Impressive ! Are these Fallen Empires only miscuts or have them a Wyvern back as well ? :-P The "Fake" on the Scrubland is quiet disturbing ! Wyvern back miscuts would by AMAZING! Alas, these are just regular Fallen Empires miscuts. The Scrubland is "Dark Beta", which is the name for a series of ol...

Good to see you here Neuron!

Here's the Mail Day photo that I wasn't able to upload in January 2018 when the Librarities file uploader (HostingPics) stopped working. I thought I'd finally upload it. a variety of... miscuts (including some connectors), cards which are off center on the front and normal on the back, a signed card...

This was one of the first videos I filmed, so hopefully I'll get better at it No need of beeing ashamed with a first batch of videos like these ! Thanks! I'm hoping to make more soon. I've been busy with work a lot for the past few months. I finally got my good microphone to work by switching every...
