Beautiful!

Could you make the pictures smaller so I could see them side by side on my screen? Now one takes up the whole screen--almost missed the second one.

What causes this?

Great Cities there, congrats =D>

I'm also a happy guy today. Since some people called me an idiot for having my Textless bolt signed, I got myself a new clean one:

I'm thinking of having this one signed by pickle.69 with "Counts as an Alpha Volcanic Island" in the text box

It's been a while since I've added something to my collection that makes me this happy. Once my MuddAggro deck is done I should probably take some scans of it. Still frustrating I'm missing a Summer Sol Ring for it and some Textless Karn's.

Wow... normally I don't like the foil test prints because they look too "silvery", but those are sweet!!!

Very nice - thanks for sharing :)

Take it easy,

I traded for some IMHO very nice misprints at GP Gothenburg

Sorry for the bad picture quality, I do not own a scanner unfortunately. Normal cards are showed for comparison.

I've seen a lot of those available. I feel like they're sun-bleached, which is why I've never bothered with them.

I agree, we discussed this here in the past:

I'm 100% sure this one and mine are not sun bleached. I also have a silver boarder Kavu Recluse and the mana symbol looks exactly the same. It is a very light pink color. All the other features on the Kavu Recluse are the same. The only way to tell would be look at the back of the card and if there's no color variations on the back then there's no reason for it to be fake. Also the boarders on most sun bleached cards are gray not black.

So the black inking in the text/borders is typically gray for sun-bleached?

That would make sense. The borders could be taped off - I have no idea how one could bleach the rest of the card and preserve the text color. Black text could be a good way to differentiate between man made and actual misprints.

Correct. If the ink colors were not in while the printing process was taking place it won't effect the card text so the text should be nice and clear.
