Where do these basic lands come from?

Post by Kalle » Fri Jan 04, 2013 12:27 pm

Ciao all!
I hope you got a great beginning of 2013. :)
A local friend of mine sent me a couple of pictures of cards he found in a friend's collection. They are regular sized and he claims to be sure they are legit.
I've never seen anything like this before. Copyright year is 2007.
Big thanks for any lead. :)

tingxuan was selling a bunch of them on ebay a while back. They are custom, although not sure where they were made.

I'm sure they are legit for whoever made them but I can not answer your question as to who that was. The pictures are not clear enough to read the sig/copyright/whatever at the bottom. What does it say?

I am, like, 100% positive that card back symbol was not printed by WotC. Specially in 2007. Hasbro would have had a cow if anyone came up with that design for any of their products.

The mana symbols are copyrighted by Hasbro but "DECK MASTER" is not. DECKMASTER in the appropriate box may be. The style of the word Magic has never been used by WotC and I don't think it would be because the marketing value is in the present style.

Wish I could see what is on the bottom.

Thanks for the info. I asked for better pictures and I hope to get them tomorrow.
He tells me that in the copyright line in the front of the card there is:

Artist Name
2007 Eye of the World X/9

For example for the Swamp the artist name is "Philip Stnaub" that I guess should be a misspell for "Philip Straub".
For the Island the artist name is "Be Li" which shouldn't be an official Wizards artist.

For fun. Send those pictures to WotC customer service and ask them what set they are from.......

Actually they look terrible to me. I think it is mostly the pictures fault though. Waiting to see the "better pictures" mentioned above.
