Interesting thread.  Most interesting crimped card I have ever had in my hands is an Arabian Nights Serendib Djinn.  My friend’s wife purchased it for him way back in the day to help him finish his collection, not realizing that the crimp would be an issue for the actual value of it.

Somewhere out there I have a small collection of them, don’t know exactly where I put it..;-)

holy cow, lemme know.  I just got a crimped traumatize from a trade in the mail and I'm dealing with getting a crimped foil baloth :)
Also, I;m getting to sort cards for my local shop, so no telling what goods I'll find.  I'll post if anything astounding pops up.

Just for giggles, here are the three I could find easily..

All three are crimped heavily on top (hard to see on the Breath of Life).

Hehe, sorry, was just posting them for reference, I expect that I will keep them.

For all practical purposes, I think it is impossible to get a set of these, because I highly doubt a set of them exist period.  The only way they are created at all is because a certain card just didn't fall enough to get in the pack right.  That's rare enough (obviously) but for it to happen to every rare at least once, well, it seems quite unlikely.

Gotta figure that these are the three I own, and I have personally opened packs numbering in the thousands, if not more (actually, at least 10s of thousands).  I have head judged events numbering in the hundreds, and I think that in that time I have only heard of one player opening a crimped card.

The other issue is that you could, of course, fake a crimp.  Not the most useful thing to do, but with some time and a friend at a tool and die shop I bet anyone could pull it off..;-)  Don't think people would do that much, of course..hehe

Anyway, best of luck to you, perhaps we can start a list of all the crimped cards we can catalog, regardless of who owns it..
