The Magic Librarities

I just bought on ebay a japanese WB terror that was presented as japanese 4th WB.
Strange thing is, the copyright is 1996. I've checked here on the set description and it says japanese WB is 1995, so is japanese Introductory 2PS.
Could someone help me define the edition of this card ?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the 2PS is 1996

that would be logical, as all the other are 1996. That would mean there's an error on the site.

that means I have 3 japanese 2PS terror for trade :)
Anyone has a true terror japanese 4th WB for sale / trade (as well as a 2PS Italian and/or spanish one) ?

My Scryb Sprites (Japanese WB 1996) come from a 4th booster box that Mark personally opened, so I'd say if there's an error on this site, it's in the WB 4th, not in the I2PS - to me it seems more likely somebody just copy-pasted 1995 all way long, rather than put wrong date in just one box.

Bear in mind that according to what's there now, Japanese WB 4th was published *before* BB 4th, which is completely against Wizards policy at that point ("only cards previously printed in BB may be printed in WB" - hence Renaissance).

Indeed, every card I opened in my JPN 4th WB booster box has a 1996 copyright date. I was under the impression that cards from the I2PS for Japanese were indistinguishable from normal 4th WB versions?

Just for reference I checked two wb 4th japanese whelps from my global set. Both are 1996;)
But one question: Why is 4th wb japanese so rare?

Ok, so that means it's impossible to differentiate them from 2 PS ? Or has anyone ever seen a japanese WB card with a 1995 copyright ?

I found a japanese website with some information about Magic sets: http://www.jfkmagic.sakura.ne.jp/

Then, I google-translated "pcd 4E" subsite and as I understand, they say some of these sets are special due to having copyright 1996 instead of 1995, but in case of Japanese, it's just 4th - "What is "rival" but it is not 邦訳 the card being used is limited edition version 4 released (white frame) is". (Yay, google translate!)

Conlusion: Japanese I2PS/Rivals Scryb Sprites removed from my want list.
(I'd like some final confirmation, though... so far it's mostly guessing)

Hi
Introductory Two-Player Set Cards Japanese are with the 1996 Date same as the 4th Edition Japanese WB. That's why, they are not on the website.

what I meant is that on this section : http://www.magiclibrarities.net/sets-beginner-sets.html , the japanese 2PS is said to have a 1995-copyright.
If I understood properly what was said here, that should be 1996, no ?

edit : the same thing here : http://www.magiclibrarities.net/sets-fo ... ition.html japanese 4th WB with 1995.

Hi Effai
Unfortunately, I can't modify for now that part of the website, as the updates for Magic Rarities are huge, but there's definately a mistake, as the correct Date is 1996 for the Introductory Two-Player Set Cards Japanese and WB 4Th Edition Japanese.

I didn't say it because I wanted it to be corrected right away :)
I just wanted to know if I had understood and signal it.
Please go on with your great work on the site, it's awesome =D>
And if I can make something to help you, don't hesitate !
