Re: Calculated Unglued Common/Uncommon sheets

This is great! There is another way to get some insight into the sheet alignment that can be used here (and it agrees with what you've already done). (An older write-up about this theory is also in my "Calculated print sheets..." main post.) Sometimes cards in packs are out of order. At least for US...

Re: Arabian Nights Print Layouts. Last Update: 11 April, 2022.

I can confirm that Charles is aware of the pack collation method, because he's asked me about it several times. He told me that he had saved the pack opening data for many Arabian booster packs. He never seemed to understand how it works though, so maybe that's why it's not used in their video. Cha...

Re: Arabian Nights Print Layouts. Last Update: 11 April, 2022.

Very exciting to see this published! Some comments: 1) I checked the sheets against pack openings from videos I've collected. It's pretty much consistent. (They didn't mentioned using this method in the video, but I guess they're aware of it, so this may or may not be independent verification.) I ha...

Japanese Sheet Size

Maybe people know the sheet size for Japanese printings, but I've never seen it discussed. I'm pretty confident the size of the sheet is 112 (or a closely related number) as I've done many sequence reconstructions that come out to 112 or just below 112. (For example, commons are usually 4x27 + 3x37 ...

Re: Calculated print sheets based on pack openings

I also recreated the Ice Age sheets based on this calculated layout, and the rare sheet photo posted in another thread: Beautiful! first, apparently more common, layout of the two common sheets Don't know if I ever mentioned it here, but my theory is the Gaze of Pain sheet is form earlier printings...

Re: Calculated print sheets based on pack openings

Let me know which one ones you need to be added in the Uncut sheets compilation Hi Alexis, Of course I like to see the sheets, but I don't think any of these are needed for my work, so no need to rush. Unfortunately, I don't think there is enough video data for these older sets to do much with rare...

Re: Calculated print sheets based on pack openings

I have added the 8 Portal sheets Very much appreciated! I wasn't able to find any swaps on the portal sheets yet, but I was able to find swaps from the Tempest sheet you posted. It seems swaps occur between the first two cards in each row. Lethe, if you're on Facebook, send me a friend request ther...

Great post, about Visions, you need also to take into consideration the Visions Preview cards (Made in USA) that came in specific boosters: http://www.magiclibrarities.net/145-rarities-multiverse-gift-box-cards-english-cards-index.html Yes, the data I posted is only for normal English packs, not fo...

Re: Calculated print sheets based on pack openings

It's nice to see someone else working on this. I haven't devoted as much time to it as I would have liked. Here's a quick write up of what I'd done a couple years ago. http://forum.magiclibrarities.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10077&p=89967#p89967 I don't remember why I started working on this in ...

Re: Calculated print sheets based on pack openings

I've updated the first post with some info about Fourth Edition and Mirage. I didn't get as much as I wanted yet, but I think it is still significant.

Re: Calculated print sheets based on pack openings

Here the partial UC sheet: Think you for sharing! It is very similar to what I came up with. The only mismatches I see are Soul Barrier + Mind Warp (I have Soul Barrier + Icequake), Orcish Healer + Withering Wisps (I have Orcish Healer + Mind Warp), Drifts of the Dead + Nacre Talisman (I have Drift...

Re: M19 Commons cards in a Dominaria booster box

There is a hopper for each rarity of card, and the cards get pulled from the hoppers in the correct ratio to make booster packs, 11 common, 3 uncommon, 1 rare, or whatever todays ratio is (it's more complex these days with mythics, foils, basic lands, and tip cards, etc.). If 18 commons were accide...
