Artistproofs question

Post by pder » Mon Mar 08, 2004 12:20 am

As of recently i've had an unplesant thought, do artistproofs exist for each set and in each language  ???

In short i've calculated aprox. 30+ Lord of the Pit's in differtent sets and languages, does this mean there are an equal amount of proofs to be collected?  :o

And so, where does one begin....

Artist proofs are only printed in English.  In addition, if I remember correctly, there was only one set of proofs for Alpha/Beta/Collector's Edition.  So that's quite a bit to knock off your list.

You just have to collect artist proofs from:
- Limited (Alpha/Beta/Collector's Edition)
- Unlimited
- Revised
- 4th Edition
- 5th Edition

Hmmm.  Well, I'm confused.  I know they only do English proofs nowadays.  It was apparently different in the beginning.

I'm sure there were some wb or bb 4th sets with foreign artist proofs, as Amy Weber has sold such dragon whelp proofs in the past (I regret I didn't find them worth buying back then, argh).
It would be nice if we could compile a list of all sets/languages foreign artist proofs were printed in, does anyone here have any foreign artist proofs, to start with? ^^
Oh and Matt, were there really unlimited proofs? I have never seen one so assumed they dont exist :-/

The only foreign sets I have seen APs for are Italian and Portuguese Ice Age and Chinese 4th. I've never heard of Italian Legends proofs. There are definitely no proofs of Unlimited (only CE proofs of these cards exist) nor of Arabian Nights.

Nah, I'm just making guesses at stuff I don't really know about.  Probably not the best idea.  All I knew at the time was that there was only one set of proofs among A/B/CE.

I used to own an Asian BB Immolation Artist Proof.  I gave it to MOTL member ldsjr, however.  There were definitely foreign artist proofs done at one time.


On another note, how likely is it that Mark Rosewater got APs for "Look at me, I'm the DCI"?

Wouldn't there be artist proof for the re-edited version of the foreign cards with a skeleton pics?

To my knowledge, there are no Unlimited Artist proofs.

The only Foreign APs I am aware of are:
- Ice Age Portuguese, French and Italian
- Chinese 4th BB

Apart from that, I think they started to make artist proofs for each sets starting at 5th Edition.

All extensions but Arabian Nights have APs in English.

Nope. From talking with Pete Venters on the WOTC boards, I found out that they don't get Proofs of cards they do the alternate art for.

Also, I have a French (I think it's French) Pale Bears, so that's another language for the older ones.  Not sure when they stopped doing foreign languages though.

Right for the Spanish Ice Age and for the Japanese 4t Edition.

However: Italian 4th edition? Are you sure? Never heard of any.
