The Magic Librarities

The sentence I suggested would be more politically correct. I guess I should ask Peter how to phrase it. The Calif shows were a let down as they just were not supported by the industry. Players loved them but GenCon lost money on them. It was a delecate subject for awhile--probably not anymore thoug...

I got another dose of the same complaint this year as I have gotten for the last two years. Belgium printed Korean stuff is crap. Poor quality packaging and product to include foil cards that don't hold up. I can not verify anything about the foil cards but the packaging is obvious to anyone that s...

In following links in the above I noted two things I think you will want to correct: 1) In the section Media inserts>Duelist inserts>The Duelist Oversize Cards: a) the advertisement link to Cardhaus Games doesn't function. Eric sold the business and I think that site no longer exists. b) The comment...

I like the total layout pictures but I like to see the card inserts in the pictures.

I any case, I think the total layout is much better than just an index. I'll bet it is a challenge to scan and lay out though.

Great history preservation.

And an add on thought.

I don't think the cards that come to Korea are packaged in China. I'll check again but I don't remember seeing that on any of the boxes.

The "dice made in China" probably results in the dice being shipped to CM or to the US for including in the prerelease boxes.

Hi Gary Point is that more and more packaging and assembling are Made in China, while the cards are printed either in Belgium or in the US. Now, on a general level and due to the huge amount of cards printed compared to earlier sets, the quality level is maybe not as good as before. Misprints are n...

OK, then because these have no ISBN or WOC this is the right place for them. Does anyone know exactly what the number in the gray strip is for? Verified today that the cards are in Korean. I got another dose of the same complaint this year as I have gotten for the last two years. Belgium printed Kor...

Mark; Sorry but I am a little confused as to the difference between what your doing here and what Tim is doing. In any case I posted this in the thread about M-15 extra cards and will duplicate here in hopes it makes it easier for you to have stuff in one place: The freebe into "decks" from M-15 wer...

Not sure where to put this so for what it is worth; The freebe into "decks" from M-15 were printed in Korean. They don't have any bar codes or ISBN or WOC numbers the bottom has: 80000011348 200311348001~5 KR in WUBRG order They are printed "Made in Belgium" on the left side they have a gray strip w...

Aggggggg!!! Your absolutely right Mark. I had a Magic Senior moment and forgot all about that. They were foil and the regular art. Now, because that was the only thing I saw that I thought was from an Ugin's Fate booster I'll have to go back and see what I can find--or not find as the case may be. I...

I just had one friend in Korea tell me that the UF boosters given out were in English. I probably won't know for sure until Feb if there were any at all printed in Korean. Gary Well, I saw two Korean Ugrn foils yesterday so I must conclude that the Ugin's Fate boosters were in Korean. I am going to...

Of course, the values on all of these is based on an assumption that graders do not have Mondays, in-law problems, girlfrineds cheating on them or wives going through that delicate time of a womens' life. It also assumes that people in these companies are 100% immune to favoritism, clout and payola....

No bet, my friend, he is getting older than I thought.

Alexis;

Sent you about 11-12 Russian and SChinese scans. Hope to get more out tomorrow, been really slow with it while I was down and just getting back in the swing of it.

Still in Korea but it has been so cold I have not gotten to a single Magic shop yet.

Gary

Is the brownie the one on the left?
