The Magic Librarities

I'm looking to gather information here on the Italian Second Edition (Revised) cards with the BOLD Copyright. I first heard them mentioned here... http://www.magiclibrarities.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2383 Here are some examples from that thread... https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/345b/qxk881ixyvni...

Swamp DU is not aligned the same as the Drudge Skeletons misprint. That is true. (and I think it's strange) the alignment varies between different DU cards [and so within 4th cards] so that you can only compare card X from DU and card X from 4th to be sure what set they are from.) I thought that th...

Of the 9 text/art misprints, Serendib Efreet is the only English one, and the only one proven to have the wrong art. 6 others are proven to have the wrong text. Drudge Skeletons/Swamp & Forest/Plains are unproven. (If anyone has info on the Forest/Plains, I'd like to discuss that one also.) The Ser...

It looks like 2 of the Chronicles cards may have been Dakkon Blackblade & Johan, although I'm not sure if these were from before or after Chronicles was released. The Dakkon Blackblade is a single issue comic published in 199? by Armada Comics. The issue included the card Dakkon Blackblade from Chro...

Ice Age, Chronicles, and Homelands each had some promotional cards released. I think these were all media inserts. They are indistinguishable from regular printed cards from that set. This link contains a reference to their existance. http://www.usc.edu/dept/Deckmasters/archive/mtg/spoil-al.txt Beca...

Just wondering: Why do you place German Limited before French? Can you see differences in the copyright line between both? Facts that vote for French > German: - French wb designed 1994 (indicates: BB First released - first sold out, even in 1994) - German Islands with French copyright text There a...

Here is some information on how cards are cut, written by Dave Howell, Wizards of the Coast production manager Alpha through The Dark... As described, the sheets are cut into strips, the strips are cut into rectangles, and the rectangles are stacked up in a trough. At Carta Mundi, they had a remarka...

I'd like to write more, but don't have much time at the moment. I wanted to share this picture though. Today I had my wife help to study the text alignment on the misprint Drudge Skeletons/Swamp compared to the regular print Drudge Skeletons. She has a more exact method than measuring the computer s...

I finally managed to check my Swamp/Drudge Skeletons and can say that all 100+ are identical, so no text/border/copyright etc differences among the copies. I unfortunately didn't have a chance to dig up regular versions of the Drudge Skeletons, as my son got chicken pox and my daughter is coming do...

Here are some miscuts that I opened myself back in 1997. This is the first time I've shown them on the internet. I opened two boxes of 5th Edition when it came out. These two cards were in the same box. I'm pretty sure that they are off of the same sheet and that they were both part of the same corn...

This list is in the order that the sets had their designs finalized (sent to be printed). It may not be exactly the same as the order they were released. start with no copyright date Alpha Beta Collector's Edition International Collector's Edition Unlimited switch to slightly larger art box Arabian ...

From UNL to REV WOTC made the art box a bit higher. I didn't measure the pics here, yet eyeballing them they look post UNL to me. I had forgotten about this. Yes, the art box is slightly wider and taller on Revised than on Unlimited. Alpha Beta Unlimited & both Collectors Edition use the smaller ar...

Looking at my Waldfeen test print today, I notice that it is slightly taller than a regular card. Maybe half milimeter difference. Anyone else notice this with theirs? Tav Hi Tav I believe yours is the Amy Weber one, correct ? It's on Normal MTG Card stock ? Can you please post HD Scans, I will do ...

I'd be pretty thrilled with one Benalish Hero and one Blue Elemental Blast if you still have any available!

I had a look at my Blue Elemental Blast Global set (only missing 4 cards), and it looks like the really early cards without a copyright date (English Revised and prior) use grey. Once the copyright date shows up, it's black until it turns white on Japanese 4th black border, Korean 4th black border, ...
