Lotus is the most iconic card. It's less about playability now and more about what the car represents to the history/culture of the game. Lotus is THE magic card. From that point of view, we could expect Black Lotus/Mox Pearl ratio to keep increasing, as people will keep focusing more in getting a ...

Why is Black Lotus price separating from the rest of P9?
Some years ago I remember a Black Lotus costing about 2.5 times a "bad" Mox. Now, it's worth like 4 Moxes. The ratio is even higher in the case of high graded cards. In Vintage, a format that isn't played much nowadays (without proxies I mean), Black Lotus is played about as often as the rest of Mox...

I would guess top left is beta and top right is alpha. I can't tell the bottom two from the top two because of my computer screen. But the bottom two look like they're from the same set, maybe both Alpha? Only bottom right is from Alpha :) http://s27.postimg.org/dnoea2snn/Sol_Rings.jpg (How can I r...

The end of phrase punctuation used to be different between traditional and simplified, but at some point WotC made it the same, which caused the cards to be more difficult to identify. I've been considering making a traditional vs simplified thread with pictures to help with identification as font ...

the problem with those two scans is that the Alpha scan is blurry. try these two... notice how the Alpha colors are brighter. Really hard from scans. https://www.abugames.com/images/products/gradedalphacards/22382450.jpg https://www.abugames.com/images/products/gradedbetacards/7904524.jpg The point...

There are many other differences between Beta and Alpha besides card misprints and corners. There is not one single Beta care that if you put it side by side with an Alpha card it won't look different, even if the corners were somehow faked. Beta cards are noticeably darker than Alpha cards. Also m...

I think it would be possible to clip the corners, but keep in mind that several cards have printed differences between Alpha and Beta. Tav Not that many. Tropical Island (wrong artist), Elvish Archers, Orcish Oriflamme, Orcish Artillery, Cyclopean Tomb, Red Elemental Blast... Then there are some Be...

Fake Alpha corners
Do you think Beta cards' corners can be cut to make they seem like Alpha ones? I have talked to some dealers and collectors and the majority of them think it isn't possible to fake Alpha corners. But I'm still quite worried about it. It seems to me that you just need some kind of corner cutter with ...

What BGS grade do you think this Volcanic Island would get?
I'm thinking about making an offer for this Beta Volcanic Island. What grade do you think BGS would give? 8.5?
